# Request: pre-launch token distribution (analyst3, 10 Oct 2026)

Question: are the coins that run launched with supply already spread to wallets (insider/airdrop distribution), and is that visible before the first swap?

What (per token, for the pools listed below):
1. Count and list of ERC-20 Transfer events of the token from token creation up to the pool's first swap block, excluding mint (from=0) and transfers to the pool/PoolManager.
2. Distinct recipient count, and share of total supply held outside {pool, PoolManager, deployer} at the first-swap block (sum of those transfers / supply).
3. Same at +5 min after first swap (top-1 and top-10 holder share excluding pool).
Which pools: (a) the 291+ v3 mc5-band pools (cap 300k-1M at +5 min) in v3hist/v3live since 6 Sep, (b) 500 random v3 fee100 controls, (c) the 56 nohook fee100 climbers of #547.
Period: tokens born 6 Sep - 10 Oct. Format: sqlite /opt/sw/ppdata/prelaunch.db, table(token, pool, n_transfers_pre, n_recipients_pre, share_outside_pre, top1_5m, top10_5m) plus raw transfers table(token, b, t, frm, to, amount).
Test I run: P(1M) and tp5 return in the mc5 band by share_outside_pre tercile and top10_5m tercile, two halves by time, with controls; related to analyst2 #168 (holder concentration), this adds the PRE-launch part.
Why useful: insiders who hold supply before the first swap are the sellers on the other side of our first-minute buy; if pre-seeded share separates rug-in-60s from runners, it is a pure avoid-filter that costs no runner timing.
