Bundled supply (bundle snipe)
Bundled supply is when insiders buy a large share of a new token at launch through many wallets in one bundled transaction, so holdings look spread out.
On Solana, transaction bundles let several transactions execute together in a guaranteed order in the same block. A token creator can use a bundle to launch a token and immediately buy it from dozens of fresh wallets before anyone else can trade. On a holder chart, the supply looks distributed among many addresses; in reality, one person or group controls it. Similar tactics exist on other chains using private transaction submission.
Bundled supply lets insiders sell gradually or all at once into retail demand while the token appears decentralised. It is one of the most common mechanisms behind memecoin rug pulls, and on-chain tools now flag bundled launches by detecting wallets funded from the same source that bought in the first block.
Checking for bundles has become part of memecoin due diligence. Warning signs include many wallets with similar balances created minutes before launch, funding traced to one address and coordinated selling. Bundle detection is not perfect, and sophisticated insiders use mixers or staggered funding to avoid it.
Example
A new memecoin shows 200 holders an hour after launch. A bundle checker reveals that 40 of them were funded from one wallet and bought in the launch block, together holding 35% of the supply.
