UNI Whales & Moves
Who holds the large UNI balances on Ethereum mainnet, and where they move it — every transfer above the threshold.
Switches only the move-based modules (stream · mix · ≥1M count); the leaderboard and the two composition charts are current snapshots.
Whale Moves · All
Every transfer above the threshold, labelled by what the sender and receiver are.
Actions read only the two endpoints, never the motive: exchange-to-exchange transfers are shown grey and are not a signal; splits and relays report only how many legs this table can see, marked unattributed.
The stream records transfers of ≥ 10K UNI, written as a side effect of the hourly holder replay; coverage starts where the replay reaches, and older history is not backfilled.
Move Mix (Sell Pressure vs Absorption) · All
These transfers grouped by what the two endpoints are. Slice size is UNI volume, not the number of transfers. Follows the threshold and the time range, not the identity filter.
"Identity unknown" is a real gap, not a collection bug — about 40% of the UNI in the top 1000 sits on unlabelled addresses, and a transfer with two unknown ends can only be reported as that.
Top 10 Holders
Ordered by current on-chain balance; the treasury and the burn address are their own categories, not whales.

vs last run is the balance change since the previous replay (hourly); the first run has nothing to compare.
The share denominator is fixed at the 1B genesis supply.
Identity Mix (Top 1000)
Share of genesis supply; the slices add up to 100%.
Labels come from Blockscout plus our own verified list. Unlabelled does not mean a person — most are unnamed custody and cold wallets.
Non-overlapping balance bands adding up to 100%, on the same 1B genesis denominator.
381,658 holder addresses (balance above 0)
Every band is counted straight from the full replay — one snapshot behind the bands, the leaderboard and the move stream.
Scope & Limits
- Only UNI on Ethereum mainnet. UNI on the L2s is bridged or synthetic and does not reduce mainnet supply; mix it in and the top holder becomes a bridge contract.
- Protocol addresses are not whales. The burn address, the governance Timelock, the distribution contract and protocol contracts each keep their own category — they are the protocol holding its own token, and folding them in makes "concentration" meaningless.
- The denominator is the 1B genesis supply. Nothing is subtracted for burns and no address is hand-picked as non-circulating, so each share still contains the burned part; the whole site uses this one denominator.
- Freshness equals the replay interval (hourly). Not real time, no alerts. If the replay falls more than 2 hours behind, the header says so.
- No stories about unlabelled addresses. Unrecognised means unlabelled; splits and relays report only the legs this table can see and stay marked unattributed; exchange-to-exchange transfers stay grey. We report what is on the table, never the motive.
