Creator Wallet
Creator Wallet Overview
Who is the “creator”? The wallet that deployed or first received the token contract.
Holds: how many tokens & what % of total supply.
Transfers: number of outgoing transactions by the creator.
Red flags to spot:
Huge sells (≥ 10% of supply) → sudden dumps.
Many transfers in quick succession → potential rug pulls.
100%+ sent → supply minted out of thin air.
The Creator Wallet
The Creator Wallet is the on‑chain address that originally deployed the token contract and (usually) received the lion’s share of the initial supply. Here’s why it matters and what to watch for:
Initial Allocation
When a new token launches, the creator (or team) often mints a large chunk of tokens up front.
Checking the creator wallet’s balance tells you how much of the project they control. If they hold 80–90 % of all tokens, the project is extremely centralized.
Transfer History & “Dumps”
Every time the creator moves or sells tokens, it shows up as a transfer.
A few small transfers (for marketing, liquidity provision, airdrops) are normal.
Red flag: large, sudden transfers off the creator wallet—especially if they hit a centralized exchange—can indicate a “dump” (they’re selling into the market).
Percent of Supply Moved
We calculate not just the raw amount but also the % of the total supply.
Moving 1 % of supply is typically harmless. Moving 10 % or more at once often triggers a price crash (and you’ll see a 🚨 alert in your sniff report).
Timing & Frequency
Frequent transfers can mean the team is regularly taking profits.
Long periods of no transfers show commitment—they’re “skin in the game.”
A one‑off big transfer early on, then silence, is less alarming than repeated large dumps.
What to Look For
Low creator balance (e.g. < 5 % of total supply) → good decentralization.
No large transfers yet → team is holding strong.
Gradual, transparent distributions (to marketing, partners, staking rewards) → healthy tokenomics.
Huge one‑time moves → caution: could be rug pull or profit‑taking.
By inspecting the creator wallet, you gain insight into the project’s distribution fairness and the team’s intentions, essential for making safer, more informed trades.
