# Discover

Every new account Alphagate finds, once, with its traction summed up.

Where [Followings](/find-projects-early/followings.md) tells you who just followed something, Discover tells you what's new and how much attention it already has. Each account appears once, newest first.

## What the numbers mean

* **Followers 3 → 19** is followers when Alphagate found the account → followers now. Growth since discovery is momentum you can't see on X itself.
* **Found** is when Alphagate picked it up. An account found at a handful of followers was found early.
* **Key** is how many key profiles follow it, and the names under **Key followers** tell you which ones.
* **⚠** marks previous usernames and the amber marker posted contracts. Hover either one.

## Filters

The ones that need a word:

* **Chains** and **Categories**: **Other** matches everything that isn't in the list. Typing narrows the list; **Enter** ticks the first match.
* **Key Followers** and **Followers** take ranges, and accept `10k` or `1.5k`.
* **More › Exclude** hides projects tagged *Launched*, *NFT* or *Memecoins*. **Include unfiltered** adds raw accounts our classifier hasn't reviewed yet: more noise, sometimes earlier.
* **Sort**: *Recently Found* (the default), *Recently Created* or *Most Key Followers*.

{% hint style="info" %}
**This week's best, while they're small:** Found = *Last 7 days*, sort by *Most Key Followers*, Followers max 5,000.
{% endhint %}

## Search

A single short word matches handles and names. Several words, or one long one, search bios instead, and can be combined with **AND** and **OR** in capitals: `ai AND agent OR ml`.

## Presets

Presets are saved to your account. Star one to load it every time you open Discover; filters you haven't saved reset when you reload the page.

New accounts are checked for every 10 seconds. They're added at the top only while you're at the top of the list, so nothing moves under you while you read.

**Free plan:** accounts with 40+ key followers only.
