$Watcher was one of the first projects that brought @WatcherChase and @zakfolkman together. It is widely seen as the first online crypto project they worked on side by side. Over time, Watcher turned into an early experiment that blended community, crypto and active trading in a way few people had access to. At the center of this, was the Watcher House, a separate house used as a private trading hub for the inner Watcher circle. This created a sense of exclusivity, where being “inside” the Watcher network meant access to information, discussions and opportunities others didn’t see. You can still tell how important Watcher was by how both founders continue to reference it today. Chase keeps “Watcher” in his X handle, signaling that the project still holds weight for him. He also uses the owl emoji 🦉 in his Instagram name, which has become a recognizable symbol of the Watcher identity. Altogether, Watcher feels less like a past project and more like the origin of an inner circle that later evolved into something much bigger. CA: 8WtkSSqYVmxLtpiUtgVJv2CusDUwcGj1pMjoMp8Jbonk
