Magic Nodes

Magic Nodes is one of our most advanced features. It reveals clusters of connected addresses that might not be visible on the default bubble map

The concept

By default, Bubblemaps displays direct links between the top holders of a token. However, some connections may be indirect and involve intermediaries that are not holders themselves. For example:

• Multiple holders receiving gas fees from the same external address.

• Multiple holders sending funds to the same deposit address.

In these cases, you wouldn’t see any cluster on the default bubble map because those intermediaries are not holders themselves, and therefore, no links would be created with the current holders. Magic Nodes solves this by expanding the map to include addresses beyond the top holders. By adding these addresses, it creates connections with current top holders that would otherwise be missed, such as interactions with intermediaries, revealing hidden clusters and patterns

Example: Shiba Inu

Let’s break it down together to understand this concept

When you open the bubble map of Shiba Inu without Magic Nodes (link), you’ll see one cluster representing 3% of the supply: holder 0x2d7 is directly connected to six other holders through SHIB transfers. Beyond this, there are no direct transfers between the other top holders of SHIB.

SHIB without Magic Nodes

When you click the “Magic Nodes” button, it adds new addresses to your map, marked with dotted borders. Seven addresses were added to our previous cluster, forming the large orange cluster you now see (link)

These addresses don’t show on the default map because they hold 0 SHIB, so they aren’t technically holders. However, they still connect other holders together. For example, address 0x09 sent all its SHIB to 18 different addresses, emptying itself. Since it holds nothing now, it wouldn’t appear by default, but Magic Nodes add this address back!
