What are insider wallets?
Also called: Insiders, Insider supply
Wallets connected to a token's team or launch, usually funded by the creator or buying before the public, that hold supply at a cost ordinary buyers could not get.
Insiders are the people close to a launch: the creator, friends, paid promoters and the wallets they control. They are usually identified by on-chain links rather than names: funding from the creator's wallet, receiving tokens directly from the dev wallet, or buying in the same block as the launch.
Insider supply is a lot like a team allocation in a traditional project, except it is rarely disclosed and never vested.
Why it matters before you trade
Insiders bought cheapest and know the plan. A high insider share means the people best placed to sell first own a large part of the market. It is one of the clearest signals of soft-rug risk.
How NAVI shows it
When a token's RugCheck report raises "High insider concentration", NAVI lists it among the named risks on the token page's rug check with an explanation. The bubble map shows linked groups among the largest holders, including wallets first funded from the same source. NAVI does not track the creator's wallet or label insiders itself.
Related terms
- Dev walletThe wallet that created a token. Traders watch what it holds, whether it sells, and what happened to other tokens it created.
- Bundled supplySupply bought at launch by one party through many wallets at the same moment, so the holder list looks spread out when it is really one position.
- Soft rug vs hard rugA hard rug uses a technical power (pulling the pool, minting, freezing) to take value at once. A soft rug is insiders selling down over time and abandoning the token.
