Holder Concentration

What it is​

Holder Concentration shows how many wallets hold a token and how tightly its supply sits in a few hands. It also separates the big balances that belong to a person from the ones that belong to a trading pool, a bridge, an exchange or a burn address.

  1. Choose the network the token is on: Ethereum, Base, BNB Chain or Robinhood Chain.
  2. Paste the token address to see how many wallets hold it and how tightly its supply is concentrated.
  3. Select Open Liquidity to carry the token into the Liquidity tool and check its liquidity.
  4. Select Open Security check to run Cognivo security signals on the same token.

When to use it​

Use it when you want to know who could realistically sell. A supply spread across many wallets behaves very differently from one where a single wallet holds a large slice. Before you buy a token, or while you are sizing up a position, this answers the question "if the largest holders decided to sell, how much could hit the market at once".

Where to find it​

In the dApp sidebar, under INTELLIGENCE, select Holder Concentration.

  1. Open the Network list and pick the chain you want. The page starts on Ethereum.
  2. Paste the token address into the Token address field.
  3. Select Open Liquidity to carry that address across, or Open Security beside it for the security view. Nothing runs until you choose to.

What you get back​

Once a token has been read, Cognivo shows:

  • Where the supply actually sits, a split of supply by holder type, with buckets such as Trading pools, Held for other people, Burned or locked, Wallets that could sell and Not identified yet.
  • Two concentration figures side by side. Biggest holder of any kind is the largest balance whatever holds it. Biggest wallet that could sell sets aside pools, burned supply and custody balances, so a liquidity pool is never presented as a whale.
  • Top 10 hold, Top 50 hold and Top 100 hold shares. A bucket appears only when at least that many holders were ranked.
  • Who holds it, and what each one really is, a ranked holder list where each address is labelled by what it does.

Results are not verdicts. A concentrated result does not prove a token is a scam, and a spread out result does not mean it is safe. Read it next to liquidity and contract security.

Some answers come back incomplete, and Cognivo says so rather than filling the gap:

  • Holder data unavailable means the holder ranking did not return data for that address this time. It is not a statement that the token has no holders.
  • No token holders found means no holder balances came back on the network you picked. Check that the address is a token contract on that chain. Cognivo will not quietly switch to another chain.
  • If total supply was not available, share percentages are withheld and only raw balances are shown.
  • If the share figures received add up to more than the whole supply, Cognivo withholds every percentage on the card and tells you why. The holder identities and ranking are still shown.

Limitations​

  • Networks are Ethereum and Base. BNB Chain is not covered by this check, in the dApp or in Cognivo Chat.
  • The figures are a point in time snapshot, not a live feed. Trading changes them.
  • Only the top ranked holders are read, so smaller holders are not in these numbers.
  • Balances and total supply are grounded on chain values. Holder ranking and address labels are Cognivo Augmented Intelligence, so an unlabelled exchange wallet can read as an ordinary large holder.

Cost​

Holder Concentration is free, in the dApp and in Cognivo Chat. Nothing is quoted and nothing is charged for this check. If you follow it into Bubble Maps to see how the holders cluster, that check costs 1 credit, and Cognivo shows you the cost and waits for you to say yes before it runs. Every account gets 5 free credits per day, which reset at midnight UTC.

What to do next​

  • Open Liquidity View for the same token to see how deep the pools are and how easily it can be sold.
  • Add the token or a large holder to Watch Profiles so you hear about it when something moves.
  • See Billing and credits for how the paid checks quote their cost.
