KOL Trader or Serial Shiller? 2 Things I Check in Frontrun. I get asked about @frontrunpro a lot. So here's a marketer's breakdown of how "smart followers" actually work. Almost every week someone DMs me: "What's that Frontrun extension everyone has? And how do I get 'smart followers' on my profile?" So I dug into it. Here's what I found. What it is Frontrun is a free Chrome extension that overlays an intelligence layer on X profiles and crypto sites like Axiom, GMGN, Solscan and Dexscreener. The site claims 80,000+ users, 6M+ wallet labels and 20M+ profiles tracked. On any X profile you can see: • Smart followers • Rename history • Every contract address (CA) the account has ever posted, including deleted tweets • Wallets linked to the account How "smart" is counted Frontrun says it indexes 11M+ accounts. It links X profiles to on-chain wallets through public mentions, replies and behavioral clustering. When you open a profile, it shows the smart followers who follow it, ordered by influence. The exact scoring formula isn't published. From the docs, the signal comes from who you are (identity) and what you've done on-chain and on X (behavior). Types you'll see Per the docs, smart followers include: • Tier-1 traders • Founders • Funds / VCs • KOLs Labels like #KOL, #VC and #INSIDER appear next to wallets. For wallets with no manual label, AI-inferred tags fill the gap. The free plan shows top smart followers. Paid tiers add the earliest followers of an account and deeper lists. What probably helps you become "smart" My read as a marketer, not an official checklist: ✅ Build a real, consistent identity: one handle, a clear bio, a consistent history ✅ Be publicly active on-chain and on X, so your wallets and profile can be linked ✅ Trade and post in a way that others in the space notice and follow ✅ Earn followers from other credible accounts, not from follow-for-follow What probably doesn't ⛔ Buying followers or running bot farms ⛔ Constantly renaming the account and deleting contract-address tweets. Frontrun logs both. ⛔ Hiding your wallets and activity completely, since there's then nothing to link ⛔ Chasing the badge instead of building real reputation One honest caveat "Smart follower" counts are a signal, not proof of quality. Use them as one data point next to your own research. Frontrun is open-source for the shipped extension build, and the docs list every Chrome permission it asks for. If you're curious, audit it before installing. Если хочешь, могу сделать короче под X-тред или добавить призыв к действию в конце.
