Selected dated examples from XTRACK reports: multiple = tracked market cap at the report date divided by the market cap at first alert. These are not typical results and not realised profits.
Reading the KOL Cluster lane
A KOL Cluster alert means a group of followed influencers called one contract.
Gavin Calls treats every KOL call as a public claim with a timestamp. The KOL Cluster channel records the claim; the desk records what the token did next.
Day to day, a KOL call brings attention, and attention brings volume. It also brings exits. Gavin Calls follows KOL Cluster on Solana to see which calls hold up after the first wave.
First look: Watch holder count in the hour after the call; attention that does not turn into holders fades. Find when the KOL's wallet bought compared with the time of the post.

The checklist
The routine Gavin Calls uses before trusting any Solana alert.
| # | Check |
|---|---|
| 1 | Set volume against pool depth and new holders over the same window. |
| 2 | Confirm the token cannot be minted again or frozen in your wallet. |
| 3 | Look for bundled launch buys: several wallets buying in the same block. |
| 4 | Size the position so a total loss does not change your week. |
| 5 | Open the deployer wallet and read its earlier launches. |
| 6 | Write down the level that proves you wrong before any buy. |
Screening rule
Every desk in the network filters differently. This is the screen Gavin Calls applies to the @gmgnxsolkolcluster lane:
- market cap at least $20.0K
- liquidity at least $5.0K
- at least 50 holders
- top-10 wallets holding at most 40 %
In the 46 most recent lane alerts at build time (about 11 hours), 34 passed this screen. The passing group sat at a median $195.0K cap with $35.4K in the pool and roughly 389 holders. 7 of the 46 lane alerts had liquidity below a tenth of their market cap, which makes exits expensive. The median top-10 holder share across the lane was 27 %.
Values measured on 2026-09-23 from the Empire feed. The screen is a filter, not a recommendation.

Before you ask
What is Gavin Calls?
It is one of the Empire's public desks. It watches KOL Cluster alerts on Solana, prints them live and explains how to check each one.
Does Gavin Calls hold or sell tokens it shows?
The desk does not trade from this page and does not take payment from projects for listing them.
What does 'dead' mean on the scoreboard?
A token counts as dead when its market cap falls 80 % or more from the first alert, drops under $5K, or its pool loses its liquidity.
Why do so many alerted tokens die?
Because most launches fail. The scoreboard counts it openly: 73 % of these alerts died within a day in the measured window.
