# Key terms

The words Alphagate uses, and what they mean here.

* **Key profile (KP).** An account on Alphagate's hand-curated list of 9,000+ worth watching: VCs and investors, founders, developers, researchers, official project accounts and proven alpha hunters.
* **Key followers (KFs).** How many key profiles follow an account: the main quality signal across Alphagate. A new account followed by 30 key profiles is a very different thing from one followed by 30 random accounts.
* **Project.** Any tracked account that isn't a key profile: projects, tokens, tools, and the people behind them.
* **Found.** When Alphagate first picked an account up, and how many followers it had then. Found at a few hundred followers means found early.
* **First followers.** The first accounts to follow a project, recorded for projects found with fewer than 200 followers.
* **Lists.** Key profiles grouped by role: **Founders**, **High Pos** (C-level, heads of), **Dev**, **Research**, **Investors**, **Official** (project accounts), **Connections** (ambassadors, partners) and **Hunters** (alpha hunters).
* **Curated.** All key profiles except the Hunters list.
* **Velocity alert.** Your rule that fires when several key profiles follow the same account within a short window, such as 5 in 10 minutes. [More →](/live-signals/live-feed/velocity-alerts.md)
* **CA tweet.** A tweet containing a contract address, caught from 100K+ monitored accounts as it's posted.
* **Previous usernames (PU).** Handles an account used before. Accounts recycled for scams often carry several.
* **Contracts posted.** Every contract address an account has tweeted, kept after the tweet is deleted.
* **MC at tweet time.** On CA tweets, the market cap when the tweet was posted, where available, rather than now.
* **Trading terminal.** The trading site Alphagate's contract links open in: Axiom, Padre, Photon, GMGN or BasedBot. [More →](/account-and-billing/trading-terminal.md)
