Bundler
A tool or actor that bundles multiple transactions into one block — e.g. to make many wallets buy simultaneously at a token launch.
Bundler
A bundler is a tool or actor that groups multiple transactions into one bundle that lands together in a block. Technically this is neutral — bundles are a normal part of Solana infrastructure.
Neutral and problematic use
- Neutral: atomic execution of multiple steps, e.g. in DeFi strategies.
- At a token launch: an actor makes many of their own wallets buy in the same block to secure a large share of the supply early — often hard to distinguish from genuine demand.
Forensic relevance
Bundled initial buys from a wallet cluster are a common signal when analyzing token launches. On-chain, it is traceable which wallets bought in the same bundle and whether they are connected.
