Intel
Timeline of detected events for a project
The Intel tab shows a chronological timeline of events detected for a project. Each piece of intel represents a discrete, verifiable fact derived from tracked discussions.
The Timeline
Intel appears in reverse chronological order with the most recent at the top. Each entry shows a category badge indicating the type of event, followed by a concise description of what happened. Scroll to navigate through the project's intel history.
Intel Categories
AIXBT classifies intel into the following categories:
| Category | Description |
|---|---|
| FINANCIAL EVENT | Token sales, TGEs, airdrops, funding rounds, grants, incentive programs |
| TOKEN ECONOMICS | Emissions, burns, supply changes, fee distribution, staking/locking terms |
| TECH EVENT | Mainnet/testnet launches, upgrades, feature releases, audits, major infra changes |
| MARKET ACTIVITY | Listings, delistings, new trading pairs, liquidity pools, market-making programs |
| ONCHAIN METRICS | Achieved TVL, volume, fees, user counts, active addresses |
| PARTNERSHIP | Integrations, collaborations, co-launches, co-marketing with named counterparties |
| TEAM UPDATE | Founders/leads joining or leaving, major hires, role changes |
| REGULATORY | Licenses, approvals, bans, enforcement actions, legal/regulatory moves |
| WHALE ACTIVITY | Very large transfers, accumulations, distributions, position changes |
| RISK ALERT | Hacks, exploits, outages, halts, critical bugs, recovery events |
| VISIBILITY EVENT | Conference talks, hackathons, AMAs, interviews, media coverage, award nominations |
What Becomes Intel
Intel is detected when tracked discussions describe:
- A specific change or confirmed future change for the project
- An onchain or market metric that has been achieved
General marketing, vague hype, and simple project descriptions do not become intel. Neither do predictions about future metrics ("could reach X") or speculation about what might happen.
One real-world fact produces one piece of intel. If multiple sources report the same event, the intel is reinforced.
Reinforcement
When multiple sources report the same event, they reinforce a single piece of intel rather than creating duplicates. Each reinforcement updates the timestamp and is recorded in the activity log.
Intel created days ago can still be relevant if it continues to receive reinforcements. This indicates the event remains part of active discussion. The Indigo agent factors in reinforcement activity when assessing what matters now, so older intel that is still being talked about surfaces alongside recent entries.
Activity
Each piece of intel includes an activity log showing the sequence of reinforcement events. Activity entries record the cluster the information originated from and how the description evolved with each new piece of evidence. This data is available in the terminal and through the API.
The first report of an event is rarely the most detailed. Early intel often captures the headline while later reinforcements add specifics like figures, timelines, and counterparties. For example, if the first tweet says "ETH exchange balances hit record lows" and a later tweet adds "10.5M ETH, representing 8.7% of supply", the description may be updated to include those figures.
Activity makes this evolution visible, enabling information flow analysis: tracking which clusters surface a story first, how it spreads across communities, and how the description sharpens over time.
Empty Intel Tab
Some projects show no intel. This happens when:
- The project is new and hasn't generated noteworthy activity
- Recent discussions have been general chatter without concrete events
- The project primarily attracts opinion rather than news
Activity still contributes to momentum even when it doesn't produce intel. The momentum bars and score reflect all tracked mentions, while the intel tab filters down to detected events.
