Holder Intelligence

See who holds any Counterparty asset and broadcast targeted buy offers to all registered holders. Find sellers before anyone else.

What is /holders?

The /holders command shows who holds any Counterparty asset on-chain. It cross-references blockchain data with CounterTrader's user registry so you can see which holders are active on the platform and ready to trade.

Beyond viewing holders, you can broadcast a WTB offer directly to every registered holder of an asset. They receive your offer as a DM and can accept, decline, or counter-offer with a single tap.

How to Use

/holders PEPESPRAY

View top holders of PEPESPRAY

/holders DJPEPE

View top holders of DJPEPE

The response shows a ranked list of holders with their quantities. Addresses linked to CounterTrader users are highlighted so you know who you can trade with directly.

Tiered Access

Broadcast WTB

When viewing holders, tap the Broadcast WTB button to send a buy offer to every CounterTrader-registered holder of that asset. The flow:

  1. Set your offer price per unit
  2. The bot DMs every registered holder with your offer
  3. Each holder can Accept, Decline, or Counter
  4. Acceptances go into the normal trade flow
  5. Counter-offers automatically create a public WTS listing at the counter price

Counter-Offers Create Listings

When a holder counters your broadcast, their counter-offer becomes a public WTS listing visible to everyone on the marketplace. This means your broadcast can bootstrap supply even if nobody accepts your exact price.

Broadcast Limits

To prevent spam, broadcast WTB offers have daily limits per tier (see table above). Broadcasts expire after 7 days if not accepted or countered.

Use Cases

Find Sellers

Want an asset with no active listings? Use /holders to see who has it, then broadcast a WTB to reach them all at once. No more hunting through Discord or Twitter.

Bootstrap Supply

Broadcast at a reasonable price. Even if holders don't accept, their counter-offers create public WTS listings that other buyers can also see. One broadcast can seed the entire orderbook for a previously unlisted asset.

Price Discovery

Not sure what an asset is worth? Broadcast a lowball WTB. Counter-offers tell you what holders actually want, giving you real price discovery data without checking multiple venues.

Competitive Intelligence

See the distribution of holders. Know whether an asset is concentrated in a few hands or widely distributed. This affects pricing power and liquidity.

Tips

  • Use broadcasts strategically — daily limits mean you should target assets you actually want to buy
  • Fair prices get more acceptances. Lowball broadcasts may only generate counter-offers
  • Counter-offers become public WTS listings visible to everyone, so broadcasting has positive externalities for the whole marketplace
  • Premium Plus users see @usernames, enabling direct outreach for high-value trades
  • Combine with /orderbook and /sold to set an informed broadcast price
