Twitter is the platform with the highest information density in the cryptocurrency industry, where almost all projects conduct their earliest brand expansion and user growth. Therefore, it is also the scene with the most early alpha information in the industry. Nowadays, thousands of projects flood the Twitter information stream every day, making it very difficult to efficiently discover and filter early alpha information. In addition to detailed research on project introductions and products, following well-known figures on Twitter has become one of the important signals for many users to judge the prospects of a new project.

However, on the Twitter page, users can only see which accounts that a certain project they follow are following, without a specific timeline, and the accounts they follow often have limitations.

In a recent update, RootData has launched the Twitter Follow Timeline feature, which displays which Twitter accounts follow or unfollow each Twitter account on a daily basis. This not only covers over 30,000 projects/institutions and individuals included in the database but also includes all unlisted Twitter accounts. This means that anyone can search and view which well-known crypto Twitter accounts follow or unfollow themselves or others.

In addition, for more than 5,000 well-known Twitter accounts that have been included, you can also follow which accounts they follow and unfollow each day. The follow and unfollow data for all Twitter accounts comes from these over 5,000 well-known Twitter accounts.

With this feature, we will be able to discover a lot of interesting information by tracking the follower flow of well-known accounts, such as who were the earliest followers of a project that has recently surged, which crypto projects cz and Musk have recently followed or unfollowed, and which projects and individuals have been unfollowed the most recently, etc.

Taking the recent popular project BUILDon as an example, we can see through Twitter’s timeline that both Dindo and Emm have already followed the project’s Twitter account on May 16, and it wasn’t until May 22 that its token B began to rise significantly and attract more attention from KOLs.

Let’s take another look at the proxy browser project Donut, which just secured $7 million in funding. On its Twitter follower timeline, Laughing, Chung-Hsun Chang Chien, Jerry Zhou, Mike Tomaino, and Um are among the relatively early well-known followers.

By analyzing data from more projects, we can identify which KOLs have been paying attention to early alpha projects for a longer period. However, due to the insufficient duration of some attention data collection, more quantitative statistics will be released in 1-2 months.

At the same time, we can also observe the external follow and unfollow dynamics of well-known figures, such as He Yi recently following Rita, Chuanmu, and Diaoke, while unfollowing Ice Frog. Zhao Changpeng recently unfollowed Zishi and Travala.com accounts.

To avoid the hassle of users having to click through different pages to check the follow activity, we have also launched the X Follow Data Aggregation Page, where users can directly view the daily follow and unfollow activities of over a hundred top Twitter accounts. The screenshot below is the summary data from May 29.
