Tokenomics

Sniper (Wallet)

A wallet that bought a token in the first one to three blocks after liquidity opened. Can be an external bot (not coordinated with the team) or a disguised developer-linked wallet. Axiom's Snipers % shows the percentage of supply held by first-block buyers.

Tokenomics Same-Block Sniping The practice of deployer-funded wallets acquiring supply in the same block as token creation. Documented by Gate Research as executed thousands of times per week on Solana. Retail's executable speed is structurally slower than co-located bundler infrastructure — the race was never going to be close. → Tokenomics Bundle A group of wallets controlled by the same entity or coordinated actors that all bought a token at or near launch, collectively holding a meaningful share of supply. The trader's definition is outcome-based: how many wallets, what supply percentage, and are they still holding? → Tokenomics Fresh Wallet A Solana address whose first transaction occurred recently relative to a token's launch. A top-20 holder set dominated by fresh wallets is near-diagnostic for an insider operation. Three flavors: cold-fresh (created at launch), warmed-up (one or two prior transactions to fake history), and graduated (from an operator's rotation pool). →
