About this desk
A KOL Calls alert means a followed influencer published a call on the contract.
A KOL call brings attention, and attention brings volume. It also brings exits. Nothing But Trench follows KOL Calls on Solana to see which calls hold up after the first wave.
Nothing But Trench treats every KOL call as a public claim with a timestamp. The KOL Calls channel records the claim; the desk records what the token did next.
Start here: Check how the KOL's last ten calls did one day later, not one hour later. Watch holder count in the hour after the call; attention that does not turn into holders fades.

Loading live KOL Calls alerts…
Screen: market cap at least $10.0K, liquidity at least $10.0K, at least 250 holders, top-10 wallets holding at most 25 %. Charts open on GMGN.
Our method
Ten minutes, before any money moves.
Step 1
Test that you can sell a small amount before adding size.
Step 2
Compare volume with liquidity and holder growth.
Step 3
Use an amount you can lose completely without stress.
Step 4
Search the contract in the Empire Telegram network to see other alerts on it.
Step 5
Check holder concentration after excluding pool and burn wallets.
Step 6
Check whether mint and freeze authorities are revoked where the chain allows them.
The filter
Filters are a choice, not a truth. This is the choice Nothing But Trench made for KOL Calls alerts:
- market cap at least $10.0K
- liquidity at least $10.0K
- at least 250 holders
- top-10 wallets holding at most 25 %
At build time the lane held 23 recent alerts covering about 5 hours; 4 of them cleared the screen. Median values for the passing alerts: cap $1.64M, liquidity $281.1K, holders 3631. 1 of the 23 lane alerts had liquidity below a tenth of their market cap, which makes exits expensive. Across the whole lane, the ten largest wallets held a median 34 % of supply.
Values measured on 2026-09-24 from the Empire feed. The screen is a filter, not a recommendation.
