Small accounts several funds just started following
New fund follows per scan
Converging, last 7 days
Accounts that picked up the most new fund follows over the last 7 days, and the funds doing the most following. Updates with every scan.
Most active funds, 7 days
All companies
One report per daily scan: the companies that crossed the line that day (followed by 2+ tracked funds for the first time), with a sector breakdown.
Latest follows
Every account the radar flags is logged the moment a new follow tips it over two funds: when, at what size, and which funds. From there we track what happens next: follower growth, whether a token shows up on CoinGecko, and funding rounds. Logging started Sep 23, 2026. Baseline accounts (already followed when tracking began) are not counted as calls.

Star any company to watch it. Anything with new fund follows since you starred it rises to the top. Saved in this browser.
What crypto's most-watched builders, researchers and traders are following. Kept apart from the fund signals on purpose: people follow for lots of reasons, so read this as attention rather than diligence. Updated after every scan, every 4 hours.

Latest follows
Signal = (tier-weighted funds + 0.4 × associate-only funds)1.5 ÷ log₁₀(followers + 100), boosted by follows in the last 14 days, by several funds following within 48 hours (up to 1.6×), and when the account follows the funds back (up to 1.75×). Tier weights 3 / 2 / 1. A fund's official account and its partners count as the fund once; associates count at 40%. Sectors and "people" are keyword heuristics on the bio; team members come from bios that name the company. Scanned every 4 hours from each tracked account's 200 most recent follows.
