What valuable information can we uncover by following the timeline on Twitter?

Author: RootData

Twitter is the most information-dense platform in the crypto industry, and almost all projects are the earliest stage of brand expansion and user growth on Twitter, so it is also the scene with the most alpha in the early stage of the industry. With thousands of projects flooding the Twitter feed every day, early alpha information is essentially difficult to find and filter efficiently, and in addition to detailed research on project introductions and products, the Twitter attention of well-known people 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 they follow about a certain project, there is no specific timeline, and the accounts they follow are often limited.

In a recent update, RootData has introduced a Twitter follow timeline feature, which shows which accounts each Twitter account is following or being banned on a daily basis. This not only covers the more than 30,000 projects/institutions and people included in the database, but also covers all non-included Twitter accounts, which means that anyone can search and see which well-known crypto Twitter accounts their own or others' Twitter is followed and blocked by.

In addition, for the more than 5,000 well-known Twitter accounts that have been indexed, you can also follow which accounts they follow and close on a daily basis. The following and disengagement data for all Twitter accounts comes from these more than 5,000 well-known Twitter accounts.

Through this feature, we will be able to discover a lot of interesting information by following the following stream of well-known accounts, such as who the earliest followers of a certain skyrocketing project are, which crypto projects CZ and Musk have recently followed or closed, which projects and people have been banned the most recently, and so on.

Taking the recent popular project BUILDon as an example, through the timeline of Twitter attention, we can see that Tuao Big Lion Brother and Hum have been following the project on Twitter since May 16, and it was not until May 22 that its token B began to rise significantly and was followed by more KOLs.

Let's take a look at Donut, an affiliate browser project that just raised $7 million in funding, and Laughing, Chung-Hsun Chang Chien, Jerry Zhou, Mike Tomaino, and Uh-hum are relatively early followers on its Twitter attention timeline.

Through the analysis of data of more projects, we can count which KOLs have been following the early alpha projects earlier, but due to the fact that some of the attention data statistics are not long enough, more quantitative statistics will be released in 1-2 months.

At the same time, we can also check the external attention and customs dynamics of well-known figures, such as how he recently followed Rita, Chuan Mu, carving and other characters, and closed Ice Frog, and Zhao Changpeng recently closed Zishi, Travala.com and other accounts.

In order to avoid the trouble of users having to click on different pages to view their follow feeds, we have also launched the X Follow Data Aggregation page, where users can directly view the daily follow and follow updates of more than 100 top Twitter accounts. The screenshot below is a summary of May 29.

Another interesting statistic is, which projects and people have received the most attention in recent months? Which ones have been removed the most?
