Bubblemaps to airdrop 30 million BMT tokens to users uncovering crypto scams

Bubblemaps, a blockchain analytics platform, has launched Intel Desk, a new platform that rewards users with its BMT token for uncovering scams and suspicious activity.

The initiative will distribute around 3% of BMT’s supply — about 30 million tokens — through seasonal airdrops in its first year, Bubblemaps founder and CEO Nicolas Vaiman told The Block. At current prices, that’s nearly $2 million in rewards, with BMT trading at around $0.0647 and a market cap of over $16 million.

"Every quarter, we’ll organize airdrops for the top contributors: the ones who helped with the most impactful cases. All they need to do is connect their X and claim," Vaiman said.

Crypto sleuths typically post their findings on X (formerly Twitter), but Vaiman said Intel Desk adds permanence and context by indexing those threads and linking them to cases. "These community contributions act as a distributed warning system, often faster than traditional firms," Bubblemaps said.

BMT rewards won't only come from Bubblemaps' treasury. Fees collected from users who create or vote on cases will also be shared with contributors, Vaiman said. Longer term, the platform will introduce bounties: anyone will be able to fund an investigation with BMT, which gets distributed to sleuths who deliver value.

"Think of it as an intelligence marketplace, but with rewards spread across multiple contributors," Vaiman said.

Beyond scams, users can also flag suspicious token launches or "shady behavior" by insiders or influencers, Vaiman said.

"Retail moves on too fast, even after a big scam. No one tracks who’s behind what, so the same actors keep coming back," he said. "Intel Desk helps break that loop. It keeps a trace, gives people a reputation, and makes it easier to spot red flags before things blow up again."

Bubblemaps, launched in 2022, claims to have around 300,000 monthly active users. The platform, known for its bubble-style blockchain data visualizations, earlier this year revealed that pseudonymous trader Naseem made over $100 million trading the official TRUMP memecoin.

Its BMT token went live in March and is listed on exchanges, including Binance. Intel Desk is BMT’s "first major utility," with plans to link the token more tightly to Bubblemaps’ upcoming V2 product, Vaiman said.
