Plot twist of the day on the data side ☠️
A token holder count was stuck at exactly **20** across every project we tracked. Same suspicious number every time. Took a minute to spot the trap: a public Solana RPC method (`getTokenLargestAccounts`) is spec-capped at the top **20** wallets. We were storing the cap as the count.
Real number for one of those tokens? **31,555**. Off by 1,577× 📊
Always double-check that what you're storing actually represents what you THINK it represents. The variable name lies; the data shape doesn't.
