How to discover early Alpha project signals earlier? In addition to excellent investment research judgment, information acquisition channels are also an important auxiliary means, such as which new projects well-known KOLs are paying attention to every day.
A month ago, RootData launched the Twitter Follow Stream feature, allowing users to track the daily follow dynamics of any project and KOL, including follows, unfollows, and being followed. The resulting functionality allows users to intuitively discover the earliest known followers of a project, especially by retrospectively analyzing which top KOLs appear most frequently in this follow list.

In this regard, RootData has compiled a list of the earliest Chinese KOL followers for projects that have exceeded a popularity value of 200 in the last two months before their popularity surged. Since most data has been recorded since early May this year, the project sample is limited to those established this year and active on platform X since May.
Among the 13 projects included in the statistics, the top five most frequently appearing Chinese KOLs are Alvin Hung (5), Leo the Horseman (4), Xueqiu (4), sanyi.eth (3), Little Catcher CHAOS (3). Other common KOLs include BroLeon, 0xsun, Shapolang, Spark, etc.
It should also be noted that this data only covers well-known KOLs recorded by RootData, so many mid-tier KOL follow information may be missing. In the future, RootData will continue to enrich this information.
