The Token Holders API allows you to access information regarding token holders for both fungible (ERC20) and non-fungible (ERC721) tokens. This API provides access to current token holder data for a specific token, as well as historical information about token holders.
Let's explore some examples and discover how to use the Token Holders API.
NFT Holders
If you need information about the holders of a specific NFTs, you can simply enter the contract address of the NFT in tokenSmartContract field. This will provide you with all the necessary details about the token holders.
Total Token Holder Count
With the Token Holder API, you can retrieve the total number of token holders. By using the uniq field and getting unique Holder_Address values, you can find the number of token holders on a specific date.
In this example, we will obtain the token holder count for the USDT token on the Ethereum. You can run this query directly within our IDE.
{
EVM(dataset: archive, network: eth) {
TokenHolders(
date: "2023-10-21"
tokenSmartContract: "0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7"
where: { Balance: { Amount: { gt: "0" } } }
) {
uniq(of: Holder_Address)
}
}
}
You can use following query to get all token holders of a given token on a given date. You can change limit to get more or less token holders.
{
EVM(dataset: archive, network: eth) {
TokenHolders(
date: "2024-03-01"
tokenSmartContract: "0x60E4d786628Fea6478F785A6d7e704777c86a7c6"
limit: { count: 100 }
orderBy: { descending: Balance_Amount }
) {
Holder {
Address
}
Balance {
Amount
}
}
}
}
Token Balance of an address on particular date
You can find out how many tokens a specific token holder had on a specific date. To do this, simply update the date value with the date you're interested in. Run this query in the IDE to view the result.
{
EVM(dataset: archive, network: eth) {
TokenHolders(
date: "2023-10-01"
tokenSmartContract: "0x60E4d786628Fea6478F785A6d7e704777c86a7c6"
where: {
Holder: {
Address: { is: "0x50d9090d6ce6307b7ec8904cd3dca17b4da56353" }
}
}
) {
Holder {
Address
}
Balance {
Amount
}
}
}
}
Token Holders Over Time
As talked about earlier, the Token Holders API enables us to access token holder data for a specific token on any desired date. However, if you need to obtain token holder data over a range of dates or a specific timeframe, you'll need to make separate API calls, adjusting the date parameter accordingly. This way, you can get token holder information for the entire period you're interested in.
Token Holder Activity
The Token Holders API offers the functionality to get information about the activity of token holders related to a specific token. Let's explore these activities which will give us insight into token holders behaviour.
Count of Transactions for a Token from a Token Holder
If you're interested about how frequently an address has participated in transactions with a specific token, you can utilize the Token Holder API. For instance, here's an example that reveals the number of transactions involving Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC NFT) from a specific wallet.
You can see the results by running this query in the IDE.
{
EVM(dataset: archive, network: eth) {
TokenHolders(
date: "2023-10-22"
tokenSmartContract: "0x60E4d786628Fea6478F785A6d7e704777c86a7c6"
where: {
Holder: {
Address: { is: "0x18f024244d0c41534c4fb77f958912f3aa403719" }
}
}
) {
BalanceUpdate {
transactions: Count
}
Holder {
Address
}
}
}
}
First & Last Date of Transfer for a Token Holder
You can also retrieve the dates of the first and most recent times a token holder transferred a particular token using this API. The last date will be the most recent date when the holder made a transfer with that token.
You can access the results by running this query in our IDE.
{
EVM(dataset: archive, network: eth) {
TokenHolders(
date: "2023-10-22"
tokenSmartContract: "0x60E4d786628Fea6478F785A6d7e704777c86a7c6"
where: {
Holder: {
Address: { is: "0x18f024244d0c41534c4fb77f958912f3aa403719" }
}
}
) {
BalanceUpdate {
FirstDate
LastDate
}
Holder {
Address
}
}
}
}
Amount In & Out for a Wallet
You can also find out the number of tokens that have been received by a wallet and the number of tokens that have been sent from it. Give this query a try in the IDE.
{
EVM(dataset: archive, network: eth) {
TokenHolders(
date: "2023-10-22"
tokenSmartContract: "0x60E4d786628Fea6478F785A6d7e704777c86a7c6"
where: {
Holder: {
Address: { is: "0x18f024244d0c41534c4fb77f958912f3aa403719" }
}
}
) {
BalanceUpdate {
InAmount
OutAmount
}
Holder {
Address
}
}
}
}
Top Token Holders for a Token
To find the top token holders, you can use the Token Holders API. This allows you to sort the data based on the token balance in descending order. You can achieve this by using the orderBy filter and sorting by the value of Balance_Amount in descending order.
In this example, we are going to find the top 10 token holders for the Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC) NFT collection. Run this query on the IDE to see the result.
{
EVM(dataset: archive, network: eth) {
TokenHolders(
date: "2023-10-22"
tokenSmartContract: "0x60E4d786628Fea6478F785A6d7e704777c86a7c6"
limit: { count: 10 }
orderBy: { descending: Balance_Amount }
) {
Holder {
Address
}
Balance {
Amount
}
}
}
}
Token Holder with Certain Number of Tokens
You can use the Balance filter to find token holders who hold a specific value of tokens. For example, you can find Moonbirds NFT token holders who hold more than 50 NFTs in their wallet. To see the results, try this query in the IDE.
{
EVM(dataset: archive, network: eth) {
TokenHolders(
date: "2023-10-22"
tokenSmartContract: "0x23581767a106ae21c074b2276D25e5C3e136a68b"
where: { Balance: { Amount: { ge: "50" } } }
) {
uniq(of: Holder_Address)
}
}
}
Here's another example. In this case, we are getting the number of token holders whose token balance exceeds 1 million USDT tokens (~ $1 million). We used aliases to categorize token holders based on the tokens stored in their wallets. For further information on aliases, you can refer to this page.
Feel free to execute this query in the IDE to delve into the data.
{
EVM(dataset: archive, network: eth) {
TokenHolders(
date: "2023-10-22"
tokenSmartContract: "0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7"
where: {Balance: {Amount: {ge: "0"}}}
) {
classic: count(
distinct: Holder_Address
if: {Balance: {Amount: {gt: "1000000"}}}
)
pro: count(
distinct: Holder_Address
if: {Balance: {Amount: {gt: "100000", le: "1000000"}}}
)
growing: count(
distinct: Holder_Address
if: {Balance: {Amount: {gt: "1000", le: "100000"}}}
)
}
}
}
Top Trending Tokens Based on Token Holders
To get data related to token holders, you can also the Balance Updates API. In this example, we will write a query to get the top 10 trending tokens based on their holders on the Ethereum network. You can see the results by running this query in the IDE.
query MyQuery {
EVM(network: eth, dataset: combined) {
BalanceUpdates(
where: {
Block: { Date: { since: "2023-06-01" } }
BalanceUpdate: { Amount: { gt: "0" } }
}
orderBy: { descendingByField: "No_Holders" }
limit: { count: 10 }
) {
No_Holders: count(distinct: BalanceUpdate_Address)
Currency {
Name
SmartContract
}
}
}
}
Top Token Holders of a specific Token
To get data related to top token holders, you can also use the Balance Updates API. In this example, we will write a query to get the top 10 token holders with the most number of Tokens of a speific Token. We have retreived here top 10 token holders for this currency 0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48. You can see the results by running this query in the IDE.
query MyQuery {
EVM(network: eth, dataset: combined) {
BalanceUpdates(
limit: {count: 10}
orderBy:{descendingByField: "Balance"}
where: {Currency: {SmartContract: {is: "0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48"}}}
) {
Balance: sum(of: BalanceUpdate_Amount)
Currency{
SmartContract
Name
Symbol
}
BalanceUpdate{
Address
}
}
}
}
Or, you can get the top holders of a token, say native ETH on a particular date using below query
{
EVM(dataset: archive, network: eth) {
TokenHolders(
date: "2024-03-01"
limit: {count: 100}
orderBy: {descending: Balance_Amount}
where: {Currency: {Native: true}}
tokenSmartContract: "0x"
) {
Holder {
Address
}
Balance {
Amount
}
}
}
}
Common Token Holders of Two Tokens
Let's say if we want to know common tokens holders of two tokens, we can use BalanceUpdate API. In the following example we will get common token holder of Bored Ape Yacht Club and Mutant Ape Yacht Club NFT tokens. You can run this query in the IDE to see the result.
{
EVM(dataset: archive) {
BalanceUpdates(
orderBy: {descendingByField: "token1"}
limit: {count: 1000}
where: {Currency: {SmartContract: {in: ["0xbc4ca0eda7647a8ab7c2061c2e118a18a936f13d", "0x60e4d786628fea6478f785a6d7e704777c86a7c6"]}}}
) {
BalanceUpdate {
Address
}
token1: sum(
of: BalanceUpdate_Amount
if: {Currency: {SmartContract: {is: "0xbc4ca0eda7647a8ab7c2061c2e118a18a936f13d"}}}
selectWhere: {gt: "0"}
)
token2: sum(
of: BalanceUpdate_Amount
if: {Currency: {SmartContract: {is: "0x60e4d786628fea6478f785a6d7e704777c86a7c6"}}}
selectWhere: {gt: "0"}
)
}
}
}
Token Holder Statistics
The Token Holders API provides statistics about token holders. To explore the various statistics available, please visit this page.
Average Balance of Token Holder
To calculate the average balance of USDT token holders, you can use the Token Holders API. Use the average field and select Balance_Amount. You can test this query in the IDE.
{
EVM(dataset: archive, network: eth) {
TokenHolders(
date: "2023-10-22"
tokenSmartContract: "0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7"
where: { Balance: { Amount: { ge: "0" } } }
) {
average(of: Balance_Amount)
}
}
}
Median Balance of Token Holder
To find the median balance, use the median function and select Balance_Amount. Test this query in the IDE.
{
EVM(dataset: archive, network: eth) {
TokenHolders(
date: "2023-10-22"
tokenSmartContract: "0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7"
where: { Balance: { Amount: { ge: "0" } } }
) {
median(of: Balance_Amount)
}
}
}
Token Liquidation: Finding Complete Holdings Transfers
Here's an example that demonstrates how to use the query to identify users who have completely transferred all of their DAI token holdings on March 22, 2023. You can access the query hereIdentifying users who are liquidating their holdings of a particular token.
{
EVM(dataset: archive, network: eth) {
TokenHolders(
limit: {count: 100}
tokenSmartContract: "0xdac17f958d2ee523a2206206994597c13d831ec7"

}
}
Balance: {
Amount: {
eq: "0"
}
}
}
) {
Holder {
Address
}
BalanceUpdate {
OutAmount
}
}
}
}
Gini Coefficient
With the Token Holders API, you can calculate the Gini coefficient for a token. For example, you can find the Gini coefficient for the USDC token using this query in the IDE.
{
EVM(dataset: archive, network: eth) {
TokenHolders(
date: "2023-10-22"
tokenSmartContract: "0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48"
where: { Balance: { Amount: { gt: "0" } } }
) {
gini(of: Balance_Amount)
}
}
}
Nakamoto Coefficient
You can also calculate the Nakamoto Coefficient using the Token Holders API for any token. As an example, you can find the Nakamoto coefficient for the stETH token by trying this query in the IDE.
{
EVM(dataset: archive, network: eth) {
TokenHolders(
date: "2023-10-22"
tokenSmartContract: "0xae7ab96520DE3A18E5e111B5EaAb095312D7fE84"
where: { Balance: { Amount: { gt: "0" } } }
) {
nakamoto(of: Balance_Amount, ratio: 0.99)
}
}
}
Thiel Index
If you need the Thiel index of a token, you can obtain it using the Token Holders API. Experiment with this query in your IDE.
{
EVM(dataset: archive, network: eth) {
TokenHolders(
date: "2023-10-22"
tokenSmartContract: "0xae7ab96520DE3A18E5e111B5EaAb095312D7fE84"
where: { Balance: { Amount: { gt: "0" } } }
) {
theil_index(of: Balance_Amount)
}
}
}
