The lane
A KOL Calls alert means a followed influencer published a call on the contract.
In short: some KOLs buy before they post. Some buy after. Caleb’s Degens reads KOL Calls alongside wallet data to see the order of events.
In short: a KOL call brings attention, and attention brings volume. It also brings exits. Caleb’s Degens follows KOL Calls 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. Check how the KOL's last ten calls did one day later, not one hour later.

Screening rule
Filters are a choice, not a truth. This is the choice Caleb’s Degens made for KOL Calls alerts:
- market cap at least $10.0K
- at least 250 holders
- top-10 wallets holding at most 40 %
At build time the lane held 23 recent alerts covering about 5 hours; 12 of them cleared the screen. Those that passed had a median market cap of $1.24M, median liquidity of $277.3K and about 1393 holders. Thin pools were common: 4 of 23 had less than 10 % of their cap in liquidity. The median top-10 holder share across the lane was 33 %.
Values measured on 2026-09-23 from the Empire feed. The screen is a filter, not a recommendation.
Before you click buy
Ten minutes, before any money moves.
Step 1
Compare volume with liquidity and holder growth.
Step 2
Use an amount you can lose completely without stress.
Step 3
Decide your exit before you enter, including the price where you are wrong.
Step 4
Look at what the creator address launched before and how those ended.
Step 5
Check holder concentration after excluding pool and burn wallets.
Step 6
Test that you can sell a small amount before adding size.
