Core Concepts
Key terminology and how AIXBT works
Before diving into the Terminal or API, it helps to understand the core concepts that power AIXBT. These ideas underpin everything from the agent's posts to the data you'll query.
Projects
A project is the fundamental unit in AIXBT. Every signal is tied to a project, and all analysis flows from that structure. Projects range from established tokens and protocols to pre-launch ventures, memes, NFTs, and tradfi narratives gaining traction on Crypto Twitter. Tracking begins as soon as a project enters the conversation.
Signals
A signal is a discrete fact detected about a project. AIXBT identifies concrete events: launches, listings, partnerships, funding rounds, on-chain metrics, risk alerts, and similar. Opinions and speculation are filtered out.
Signals are generated continuously as data flows in, providing a structured view of what's happening around any given project. Not all activity produces a signal, but all activity is tracked. Cluster-level engagement contributes to momentum calculations alongside detected signals.
Clusters
AIXBT groups X accounts into clusters using social graph analysis based on follow relationships. Each cluster represents a distinct, largely independent segment of the ecosystem.
The value of cluster data lies in convergence. Activity within a single cluster is meaningful, but when multiple unconnected clusters independently start discussing the same project, it carries greater weight. This pattern of cross-cluster convergence feeds directly into momentum scoring.
Momentum Score
Momentum score quantifies cluster convergence, measuring the rate at which new clusters begin discussing a project. A project gaining traction across five independent clusters ranks higher than one with more mentions confined to a single community.
Tracking momentum offers an early read on shifting sentiment. Cluster convergence often surfaces before broader market recognition, whether bullish or bearish, and this is expressed in the momentum score.
With these concepts in mind, you're ready to explore the Terminal or start building with the API.
