# KOL Wallet Count

> Show how many tracked KOL wallets are in a token as a live badge or activity signal. Endpoints, chains, first steps and a cookbook.

Show a simple number next to a token, how many tracked KOL wallets are in it right now. It drops into a token overview or a pulse page as an activity badge.

## What it shows

A live count of KOLs in a token. This number is a signal in itself. KOLs are experienced traders who avoid rugs and tend to pile into the same tokens, whether through insider knowledge or a trending narrative. The more KOLs are in a token, the more people treat it as worth trading, so a rising count is an early sign of attention.

## Blockchains

Solana, BNB, Base, ETH and Robinhood.

## Endpoints

Get it live as it changes, or on demand as a snapshot.
