Bubblemaps, the onchain intelligence layer, is launching Intel Desk, a new platform where crypto sleuths get rewarded for exposing scams, rugs, and suspicious activity in real time. It turns fleeting Twitter threads that usually get buried in timelines into a permanent hub for investigations - transforming community sleuthing into structured, incentivized intelligence.
Set to launch in September, Intel Desk builds on the work already shared publicly by sleuths on social media. These community contributions act as a distributed warning system, often faster than traditional firms, as seen with cases like the Bybit hack, Hayden Davis’ activity, or Hawk Tuah girl token launch. Intel Desk turns this shared knowledge into structured, actionable insight.
From seasoned professionals like ZachXBT to everyday Bubblemaps users, the community consistently leads in uncovering threats. Intel Desk transforms that raw intelligence, turning scattered insights into a structured, real-time layer of transparency that meets the demands of modern on-chain trading.
A rating system ensures that quality submissions are elevated while poor or unverifiable content is downgraded, helping Bubblemaps’s Intel Desk users to distinguish signal from noise.
“We’re seeing millions of tokens launched on-chain, but the infra for verifying and investigating them hasn’t kept pace,” said Nicolas Vaiman, founder and CEO of Bubblemaps. “Intel Desk gives crypto’s on-chain detectives a system to coordinate investigations, surface patterns, and help the industry respond faster to threats. As trading speeds up and trust crumbles, structured transparency has to become the default.”
The Intel Desk ranks contributions based on impact, reach, and timing, giving recognition to the individuals who find and share breaking on-chain stories first. At the core of Intel Desk is the $BMT token, which lets the community decide what matters. Users stake BMT to vote on which cases get attention, boosting their visibility and impact. The more BMT behind a case, the higher its multiplier, increasing rewards for contributors who surface key information. Soon, bounties paid in BMT will fund high-priority investigations.
The launch of Intel Desk amplifies the work of crypto on-chain investigators, creating lasting infrastructure for on-chain transparency in an industry plagued by scams and exploits.
