If the dev holds more than 10% of the token's supply, they can dump on you whenever they want. Here's what to watch out for 🚨 When you're looking at a token, one of the first things to check is how the supply is distributed. A high top 10 holder % means a small group of wallets controls a big chunk of supply. And when one of those wallets is the dev? That's where it gets risky. Here's the basic market mechanic: price is just supply and demand. If someone holding 10-20% of supply decides to sell, they're flooding the market with tokens. More supply, same (or less) demand = price drops. Devs with large holdings have a few common playbooks: • Slow dump: sells small amounts over time so the chart doesn't spike red all at once. • Rug: dumps everything at once. Chart goes to zero. • Pump and dump: hypes the token, waits for retail to ape in and pushes price up, then exits at the top. You've become exit liquidity. None of these are guaranteed to happen. But high dev concentration means the option is always on the table. So, what's a "safe" number? There's no universal threshold, but generally: ✅ Top 10 holding under 10% = reasonably distributed 👀 11-40% = worth watching, check if it's concentrated in 1-2 wallets or spread across 10 🚨 More than 40% = high centralisation, price is easier to manipulate 🚨 Dev specifically holding more than 10% = flagged for a reason None of this means a token is a scam. Some projects are early, some devs are long-term builders who haven't unlocked or distributed yet. But always DYOR 🫡
