The desk's screen
The rule behind this page. Xav Degen Play keeps an alert only if it passes all of these:
- market cap at least $10.0K
- liquidity at least $10.0K
- at least 250 holders
- top-10 wallets holding at most 30 %
In the 23 most recent lane alerts at build time (about 5 hours), 9 passed this screen. Those that passed had a median market cap of $1.62M, median liquidity of $277.3K and about 1289 holders. 4 of the 23 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 33 %.
Values measured on 2026-09-23 from the Empire feed. The screen is a filter, not a recommendation.
Reading the KOL Calls lane
A KOL Calls alert means a followed influencer published a call on the contract.
Some KOLs buy before they post. Some buy after. Xav Degen Play reads KOL Calls alongside wallet data to see the order of events.
Influencer calls move thin markets. Xav Degen Play watches KOL Calls to separate calls that attract lasting holders from calls that attract a quick round trip.
Start here: Check how the KOL's last ten calls did one day later, not one hour later. Find when the KOL's wallet bought compared with the time of the post.

The checklist
None of these needs a wallet connection.
| # | Check |
|---|---|
| 1 | Work from the contract address; tickers repeat across chains and copies. |
| 2 | Check holder concentration after excluding pool and burn wallets. |
| 3 | Confirm on the chart which pool the price comes from and how deep it is. |
| 4 | Try a small sell early; some tokens restrict selling. |
| 5 | Search the contract in the Empire Telegram network to see other alerts on it. |
| 6 | Look again after an hour, because early data on thin tokens shifts quickly. |
