Bubblemaps BMT
the tool that draws wallets as bubbles and follows the threads to the whale
🎭 a wide-eyed sleuth who pops blockchain chaos into glowing bubbles and never lets a hidden wallet stay hidden
💬 “Every wallet leaves a trail. Most people see a wall of numbers and look away. I redraw it as bubbles and lines, and suddenly the wallets that move together are sitting right next to each other. Now you can see who is really holding the bag.”
- What it is: a tool that turns raw on-chain data into a bubble map, bubbles are wallets, lines are transfers.
- What it finds: whales, clusters of wallets that secretly move together, and odd connections behind a token.
- The token: BMT is not its own chain. It is the token of the product, living on Solana and BNB Chain at once.
- Supply: fixed at 1 billion BMT, no more can ever be made.
📖 The Story
April 2022, Paris. Three founders, Nicolas Vaiman, Léo Pons, and Arnaud Droz, started Bubblemaps around one stubborn problem: blockchain data is fully public, yet almost nobody can read it. The numbers are all there, but they sit in long grey tables that hide the story. Vaiman had already tried a crypto-data startup called Cryptonavia back in 2018; it never took off, so he pivoted to making on-chain data something a person could actually see.
Their answer was to stop showing tables and start drawing pictures. In a bubble map, every wallet becomes a circle, and a bigger circle means it holds more of the token. When two wallets send tokens back and forth, a line connects them. Wallets that quietly act as a team end up bunched together on screen, so a beginner can spot a suspicious cluster in seconds instead of crawling through a block explorer.
2023. The idea found backers, and the team raised about $3.2M (€3M) in a seed round. The tool kept spreading, and it ended up plugged into places people already used, like Etherscan, CoinGecko, and DEXScreener.
March 11, 2025. Bubblemaps finally got its own token. BMT launched through an offering with Binance Wallet plus an airdrop to holders, and went live on both Solana and BNB Chain. The token gave the community a way to help steer the product, and to power a new feature where the crowd runs its own investigations.
📊 Stats
🧩 How it works
Bubblemaps does not run a blockchain of its own. It sits on top of chains that already exist and reads what is public there, then redraws it. Pick a token, and in a few seconds you get a map: every holder is a bubble, the size shows how much they hold, and the lines show tokens flowing between them. A feature called Magic Nodes pulls hidden wallets into view, and Time Travel lets you rewind to see how the holders changed over time.
On top of the maps sits the Intel Desk, a shared detective room. People use BMT to submit a case worth investigating, vote on which cases get attention, and reward the sleuths who dig in. That is most of what the token is for, plus unlocking the deeper features.
🌗 Light & Shadow
- It makes a genuinely hard thing easy: spotting whales and coordinated wallets used to need real skill, and the bubble map hands it to a beginner in seconds
- Already woven into tools people use every day (Etherscan, CoinGecko, DEXScreener), so it is not a lonely app you have to remember to open
- The supply is fixed at 1 billion BMT and can never grow, so the token is not quietly diluted by new minting
- The token is young. BMT only launched in March 2025, so its track record is short and the price can swing hard
- A big slice of supply is still locked and releases on a schedule running into 2029, which means more coins keep arriving on the market for years (a known headwind for the price)
- A map can hint that wallets are linked, but it cannot prove who owns them or why; read every cluster as a clue, not a verdict
- The widely-quoted '500,000+ users' figure comes from the company's own marketing and has not been independently checked
🧬 Evolution lineage
Bubblemaps is not a fork of anything, and it has no sibling chain. Before the platform, the same team launched a small earlier token called 'Moonlight' around April 2021; BMT (2025) is the successor. The token is cross-chain by design, born on Solana and BNB Chain at once rather than inside a single Layer-1 family tree.

❓ FAQ
- What is Bubblemaps?
- A tool that turns public blockchain data into a picture. Each wallet becomes a bubble (bigger bubble = more tokens), and transfers between wallets become lines. With one look you can see whales and clusters of wallets that move together. BMT is its token.
- Is BMT its own blockchain?
- No. Bubblemaps does not run its own chain. It reads data from other chains and draws it. BMT is the token of that product, and it lives on two chains at once: Solana and BNB Chain.
- How many BMT are there?
- The supply is fixed at 1 billion BMT, and no more can ever be made. Not all of it is in circulation yet; the locked portions release on a schedule that finishes about four years after the 2025 listing, into 2029.
- What is the Intel Desk?
- A place where the community runs its own investigations. People use BMT to submit a case worth looking into, vote on which cases get attention, and reward the sleuths who do the digging. It turns one tool into a shared detective room.
