If you're diving into the world of decentralized finance on Solana, you've probably heard of Meteora. It's a protocol that helps with dynamic liquidity management, making it easier for users to provide liquidity and trade efficiently. Now, their native token, $MET, is in the spotlight thanks to a recent analysis from Bubblemaps, a tool that visualizes on-chain data in a super intuitive way—like bubble charts showing wallet connections and token holdings.

Bubblemaps dropped a tweet showing that the distribution of $MET tokens lines up perfectly with what Meteora has publicly stated in their tokenomics. Tokenomics, for those new to crypto, is basically the economic model of a token: how many are there, who gets what, and how they're distributed. Getting this right builds trust, and mismatches can raise red flags about potential insider dumps or unfair allocations.

Breaking Down the $MET Distribution

According to the bubble map, here's how $MET is split:

• Reserve: 34% - Held in a wallet (DcHvzKHDpmBGxeRJh16K21EgeYuoLitZnk7MyDxSmr8N) likely for future use, like liquidity provisions or strategic reserves.
• Team: 18% - Allocated to the team (HDXoxYngoXTziV7bGaPEXgUVRGsRuakagiKa9gA6rQzT), which is standard for rewarding developers and founders.
• Operations (CEX/MM): 3% - A small slice (EUBiwQD2quF7v65saSpG4BxpEfaWLgvs4hwyUiMNxYGJ) for centralized exchange market making or operational needs.
• Ecosystem: 45% - The biggest chunk, spread across multiple wallets like 6HHtjZMR81LNAF5WFWE4xw72cybz3tPMQ3UJFy7FrvqH and 94dKvKmmz65FhLwLW2uQRnzC2AqkoJGZj3ig7igzJREx, aimed at growing the community, partnerships, and integrations.

This transparency is a big win, especially in a space where rug pulls and hidden dumps are all too common. Kash from Jupiter Exchange chimed in on the thread, saying "gud team behaves gud—love to see it," which echoes the sentiment in the Solana community.

Why This Matters for Meme Token Enthusiasts

Even though Meteora isn't a pure meme token, $MET has that community-driven vibe that meme coins thrive on. Tools like Bubblemaps help retail investors spot fair launches and avoid scams. If you're building your portfolio, checking on-chain data via platforms like Bubblemaps can give you an edge. For a deeper dive into the pre-launch map, head over to their interactive visualization.
