Bot clusters on memecoins: what the % means and how to use it
Every coin page on ElyScreener shows a line like "6.2% of supply in 3 bot clusters · 14 wallets bought in the same block". Here's exactly what it measures.
The signal
When a human buys a new coin, their transaction lands in some block on its own. When a bot (or one person running many wallets) buys, it typically sends several wallets' buys in the same block — a bundle — so they all get in before anyone else can react.
So we look at every buy of a coin and group them by block. Any block with buys from two or more different wallets is a bundle; the wallets in it are a cluster. We then add up how much of the coin's circulating supply those wallets hold right now.
Reading the number
| Cluster share | Read it as |
|---|---|
| under 10% | Mostly organic. Normal for a coin that has been trading a while. |
| 10–20% | Some bundling at launch. Watch the biggest cluster. |
| 20–40% | Heavy bundling. The bundlers can crash the chart when they exit. |
| over 40% | The coin is effectively controlled by the bundle. Treat as a trap unless you know who holds it. |
Biggest cluster matters as much as the total: three clusters of 2% each are three independent bots; one cluster of 6% is one actor who can dump 6% at once.
What it doesn't catch
- A single wallet that buys alone in a block (one bot, one wallet) is not a cluster. Look at Top 10 holders for that.
- Wallets that bought in a bundle and already sold are no longer counted — the number is about who holds supply now.
- Two unrelated humans landing in the same block by chance will register as a 2-wallet cluster. On busy coins this adds a little noise.
How we compute it
From the chain: every Swap event on the coin's pool (trader, block, side) and every Transfer (current balances). Pool and burn addresses are excluded from circulating supply. The same data drives the chart and the trade list, so the three always agree.
