Which Chinese KOLs appear most frequently among the early X followers of popular new projects?
Author: RootData
How can I spot early Alpha project signals? In addition to superb investment and research judgment, access to information is also one of the important auxiliary means, such as which new projects are being paid attention to by well-known KOLs every day.
A month ago, RootData launched the Twitter follow stream feature, which allows users to track the daily followers of any project and KOL, including following, being followed, being closed, and being dismissed. The function point brought by this is that users can intuitively find the earliest well-known followers of a project, especially retrospectively which top KOLs appear more frequently in this watchlist.

In this regard, RootData counted the earliest list of Chinese KOL followers who paid attention to the projects that had exceeded 200 popularity values in the last 2 months. Since most of the data has been recorded since the beginning of May this year, the project sample is also limited to projects that were established this year and have been active on the X platform since May.
Among the 13 items included in the statistics, the top five Chinese KOLs with the highest frequency were Alvin Hung (5), Leo the Horseman (4), Xueqiu (4), sanyi.eth (3), and CHAOS (3). Other common KOLs include BroLeon, 0xsun, Wolf Slayer, Spark, etc.
In addition, it should be pointed out that these data only cover the well-known KOLs included in RootData, so there may be a lot of information that waist KOLs are missing, and RootData will continue to enrich this information in the future.
