# How do I check who holds a Solana token and whether supply is concentrated?

Open a holder list for the token's mint address and add up the share held by the top wallets. If a handful of wallets own most of the supply, they can move the price when they sell. Exclude known pool and program accounts, and look for clusters of linked wallets that may belong to one person.

## Steps
1. **Get the mint address.** Copy the mint from the official source or the DEX pair page.
2. **Use the free holders tool.** Paste the mint into /tools/solana-token-holders. It lists top holders, their share of supply and flags wallet clusters, using Solana RPC data.
3. **Separate real holders from pools.** Some top accounts are liquidity pools, bonding curves or exchange wallets. Check their labels or open them on a block explorer so you do not count them as whales.
4. **Add up the top holders.** Sum the share of the top ten holders after removing pool accounts. A large combined share means a small group could dump.
5. **Look for clusters.** Wallets funded from the same source or acting together may be one owner. The tool flags clusters, but verify the funding trail on an explorer for anything important.

## FAQ
### What counts as a concentrated supply?
There is no official cutoff. As a rule of thumb, the larger the share held by a few non-pool wallets, the greater the risk. Compare against similar tokens and judge for yourself.

### Why do holder lists include pools?
Liquidity pools and bonding curve accounts hold tokens so people can trade. They appear as large holders but are not whales. Label them before judging concentration.

### Can holder data be wrong?
It reflects a moment in time and depends on RPC data. Cluster detection is a heuristic and can miss linked wallets or group unrelated ones. Treat it as a lead to verify.
