Every token call,
tethered to the chain.
Crypto feeds are built to forget. KOLT keeps a permanent, searchable record of the tokens each KOL has recommended — every entry linked to the original post, and where a wallet is verified, to whether they actually bought it themselves.
Profiles are generated automatically from public activity. A KOL does not need to sign up for their record to exist — and claiming it never lets them delete what is already there.
Counters read live from the database. They sit at zero until the ingestion pipeline goes live in Phase 2 — we would rather show a truthful zero than an invented number.
Anyone can say it.
Fewer people buy it.
Two public records already exist: what a KOL said, and what their wallet did. Nobody has joined them. That join is the entire product — and it is what the T in KOLT stands for.
When a KOL verifies a wallet by signing a challenge, we compare their first purchase against the timestamp of the call and report the result as a plain fact.

- No verified wallet — nothing claimedno_verified_wallet
A KOL may trade from wallets they never disclosed, so “never held” means “not in a wallet they verified” — never “did not own”. Absence of proof is shown in grey, never as an accusation.
Evidence first, conclusions second.
We track the account
Admin-selected X accounts are scraped on a schedule. Profiles are generated automatically — a KOL does not need to sign up for their record to exist.
We store the evidence
Every post is captured before it is parsed, with its URL and timestamp. The source record is never rewritten, so nothing can be quietly walked back.
We resolve the token
Contract addresses and launchpad links identify a token with certainty. A bare ticker does not — those go to a review queue instead of being guessed.
We tether it to the chain
Where a KOL has verified a wallet, we check whether it actually bought, still holds, or never touched the token they recommended.

No recommendations indexed yet
The scheduler, scraper, and resolver land in Phase 2. Until then this table stays empty rather than filled with placeholder rankings.
KOLs by track record
Ranked by calls made, promotions declared, and the share still backed by a verified wallet. Performance rankings require a published methodology and minimum sample sizes — so they ship in Phase 6, not before.
No profiles generated yet
Tracked accounts are seeded from config/tracked_kols.yaml. Profiles appear automatically on the first successful scrape.
One link that shows what you actually stand behind.
Your page works like a storefront for recommendations. Put it in your bio and followers see your current convictions and your full history — with your own buy links or referral codes attached to each token.
Claiming opens in Phase 4Verify ownership
Prove the X account is yours, then edit how your page presents you.
Add your links
Attach official buy links, referral codes, and preferred venues per token. We never silently swap your link for ours.
Curate your shelf
Pin what you currently back and retire what you don't. Retired tokens move to your History — never deleted, and never removed from your track record.
Declare relationships
Mark a call as sponsored, affiliate, self-owned, or advisory. Disclosure is a feature, not a penalty.
Verify your wallet
Sign a challenge and let the record show you held what you called. Optional — and visibly optional.
Post a gig. Escrow the budget. Pay on delivery.
List a PR package with the requirements that matter to you — minimum followers, region, a verified wallet, engagement milestones, a number of posts inside a window. Fund it in $HODL up front, and KOLs can see the money exists before they commit.
Deposit
Lock the budget in $HODL escrow. No $HODL? Swap at bridge.hodl2013.com first.
Match
Only KOLs meeting every gate can apply. Eligibility is checked, not claimed.
Release
Milestones are measured from independently captured posts, then payout is approved and released.
Escrow release is approved by a human in v1. Automating custody of other people's funds needs its own security review, and we are not shipping it as a side effect of a marketplace feature. Sponsored posts are always labelled and never counted as organic.
