We run quote-retweet campaigns on X through a base of 87 crypto KOLs we maintain ourselves. Every account in it has been cross-checked against three independent verification services before we would sell a single post on it, and we can show you those scores per account before you commit to anything.
The Base in Numbers
| KOLs in the base | 87 |
| Combined reach | 9,579,200 followers |
| Average followers per KOL | 110,106 |
| Average views per post | 11,669 |
| Average engagement rate | 1.70% |
View figures are pulled from TweetHunter rather than self-reported by the accounts, which matters more than it sounds: follower counts are trivially inflated, view counts on a specific post are not.
How Every KOL Gets Verified
An account joins the base only after clearing all three checks below. Each one looks at something the others cannot see, which is the point of running three rather than trusting one.
| Service | What it measures | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Wallchain | Graph proximity to top Crypto Twitter — VCs, funds, active traders | A high score means the account sits inside the real crypto circle rather than adjacent to it |
| Sorsa | Engagement quality and the composition of the follower network | Separates genuine crypto communities from purchased audiences |
| TwitterScore | Density of meaningful followers: VCs, other KOLs, exchanges | Determines whether a post reaches people who make decisions |
Across the base this produces 181 tier-one Crypto Twitter connections, a Sorsa standing inside the top 756 globally for quality, and a TwitterScore of 100 for VC, KOL and exchange density. Accounts that fail any single check do not get added, however good their follower count looks.
Campaign Sizes
Campaigns run at three scales. Which one fits depends on whether you are testing the channel, pushing a launch, or trying to make a single moment unavoidable on Crypto Twitter.
| Tier | KOLs | Combined reach | Estimated views | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 15–18 | ~1,547,000 | ~171,300 | Testing the channel before committing further |
| Growth | 45–50 | ~4,297,600 | ~475,800 | Launches and listings — the usual choice |
| Scale | 87 | ~9,579,200 | ~1,015,246 | Full base activation for a single moment |
Pricing depends on which accounts a campaign actually needs, so we quote per campaign rather than publishing a rate card. The accounts worth having are rarely the cheapest ones in the base, and the difference between a well-chosen fifteen and a padded fifty is the whole job.
What the Report Shows
You get the account list with verification scores before launch, and after it a per-post breakdown: views, engagements and the reach each account actually delivered against what it was projected to deliver. Where an account underperforms its own history, it is in the report, because you paid for it.
A Campaign We Ran
For VAIX we ran an X KOL campaign that produced 507,000+ impressions in 18 days at a 2.0% engagement rate, alongside 4.2% holder growth over the same window. The holder figure is the one worth looking at — impressions are easy to buy and hard to convert.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why quote retweets rather than original posts?
A quote retweet attaches the KOL’s own framing to your post while keeping the engagement pointed at your account rather than theirs. Original posts read as advertising and are priced accordingly; quote retweets keep the conversation on your side of the platform and cost less per view.
Can we see the account list before paying?
Yes, with the verification scores attached. We would rather you reject accounts at that stage than discover after launch that a name you were paying for has an audience you did not want.
How do you know the followers are real?
We do not rely on follower counts at all. Sorsa examines the composition of each follower network, TwitterScore measures how many of those followers are VCs, exchanges and other KOLs, and view counts come from TweetHunter rather than from the account. An account can buy followers; buying all three signals at once is impractical.
What engagement rate should we expect?
The base averages 1.70%, and individual campaigns have run at 2.0%. Anyone promising materially more than that on crypto X is either counting differently or buying it, and the second option shows up in the analytics of whoever you are trying to reach.
How long does a campaign take to set up?
Account selection and approval usually take a few days, and coordinated rollout follows from there. The base is maintained continuously rather than assembled per project, which is the part that normally causes delays elsewhere.
Do you work with accounts outside the base?
When a campaign needs a region or niche the base does not cover well, we source and vet additional accounts to the same standard. That work is described on our influencer discovery page.
