Net flow is buy SOL minus sell SOL across all tracked wallets on that token in the window. Nine of the ten most-converged tokens ended the month with negative KOL net flow — the cohort bought, then sold more than it bought. Only CATE (+281 SOL) retained net inflow. The March finding holds: a high KOL count measures attention, not conviction.
Names are the public labels on our KOL Tracker. Realized flow is sells minus buys inside the window and does not value open positions.

As of 28 August 2026, 227 Solana KOLs are active on Robinhood Chain via 356 bridge-traced wallets: 165,349 DEX trades, 24,694 ETH traded, 301 ETH held. Three in four have bought a tokenized stock.
Analytics
As of mid-July 2026, only 23% of human alpha wallets on Robinhood Chain are mostly-memecoin — 66% mostly trade non-launchpad assets like stables, tokenized stocks and blue-chips. The chain built for stocks became a meme machine, but the money says otherwise.
Trading
On Robinhood Chain there is no public mempool and gas bidding does not buy ordering — a private FCFS sequencer decides everything by arrival time. Here's why the edge is information and latency, not fees.

Open the KOL TrackerBetween August 1 and August 28, 2026 (12:00 UTC), 533 tracked Solana KOL wallets made 1,133,569 trades across 90,075 distinct tokens, buying 1,050,075 SOL and selling 1,056,617 SOL — a combined 2.11 million SOL of volume and a net flow of −6,542 SOL, which is flat to within 0.3%. The median market cap at the moment a KOL first bought a token was $4,654, and where a second KOL followed, the median gap was 9 seconds. This is the revival of our monthly report, last published for March 2026, when 332 wallets made 237,380 trades in 13 days.
Every figure below is read from confirmed Solana transactions signed by the tracked wallets. Nothing is self-reported. Numbers are as of 2026-08-28 12:07 UTC.

The buy/sell split is the same shape as March (61/39 by count, near-equal by SOL): KOLs make many small buys and fewer, larger sells. The scale is different — roughly 41,300 trades per full day against 18,260 per day in March, on a roster that has grown from 462 to 1,142 active wallets.

Three things stand out. Weekends are consistently the low points (Aug 9, 16, 22–23 are all Saturdays and Sundays). The month ended on its high: Aug 25–27 were the three busiest days by volume, and Aug 27 alone did 114,822 SOL, 2.3× the quietest day. And the number of wallets active on any given day sits in a narrow band, 288–371, which means the swings in trade count come from the same cohort trading harder, not from more wallets showing up.
Activity is heavily concentrated in the US trading afternoon. The eight hours from 14:00 to 21:59 UTC carried 509,671 trades — 45% of the month's activity in a third of the day. The peak hour was 16:00 UTC (71,551 trades), followed by 15:00 (67,014) and 17:00 (66,258). The trough is 06:00 UTC at 25,172 trades — the busiest hour is 2.8× the quietest.
For the 88,326 tokens that received at least one KOL buy in the window, we took the market cap recorded at that first buy:
| Statistic | Value |
|---|---|
| Median | $4,654 |
| 25th percentile | $2,799 |
| 75th percentile | $6,803 |
| Below $50K | 86,551 (98.0%) |
| Above $1M | 184 (0.2%) |
The tracked KOL cohort is a fresh-launch cohort. A $4.7K median first-touch market cap on pump.fun is a token minutes old, still on its bonding curve. This is why our copy-trade tooling measures market cap at first buy rather than the chase: the price you get following a KOL is usually a multiple of the price they got.
Of the 88,326 tokens bought, 41,928 (47.5%) were bought by at least two different KOLs, 14,007 by five or more, and 4,433 by ten or more. For tokens with two or more buyers we measured the gap between the first KOL's first buy and the second KOL's first buy:
| Gap | Tokens | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Within 60 seconds | 33,394 | 79.6% |
| Within 10 minutes | 38,341 | 91.4% |
| Within 1 hour | 39,811 | 95.0% |
| Median gap | 9 s | — |
| 25th / 75th percentile | 3 s / 37 s | — |
A second KOL entry inside ten seconds is not one trader reacting to another's post. It is multiple tracked wallets responding to the same on-chain event — the launch itself — which is what the coordination signal is designed to separate from genuine independent conviction.

Cented was the largest single-wallet trader by SOL moved (99K SOL in and out) and the highest realized flow in the top five. The same two names — Cented and dv — topped the March table, five months earlier. Fifty-six tracked wallets that carry no public name yet (98,531 trades between them) are excluded from this list.
kol_trades, every swap signed by a wallet in our curated KOL roster, captured live over dual gRPC streams (Frankfurt and New York) and decoded to token, direction, SOL amount, and market cap at the trade. The roster and its curation rules are described in how we track 1,069+ KOL wallets.traded_at from 2026-08-01 00:00 UTC to 2026-08-28 12:07 UTC — 27 full days plus half of the 28th. Daily averages quoted above use the 27 full days.market_cap_usd_at_trade on the earliest buy per token inside the window; 453 tokens without a recorded MC are excluded from the percentiles.533 of the 1,142 active wallets on MadeOnSol's curated Solana KOL roster made at least one trade between August 1 and August 28, 2026, producing 1,133,569 trades across 90,075 tokens.
In August 2026 the median market cap at a KOL's first buy of a token was $4,654; 98% of first buys happened below $50K market cap and only 184 tokens (0.2%) were first bought above $1M.
Where a second KOL bought the same token, the median gap after the first KOL's buy was 9 seconds; 79.6% of second entries came within 60 seconds and 95% within an hour. 41,928 tokens (47.5% of all tokens bought) attracted two or more KOL buyers.
16:00 UTC was the busiest hour in August 2026 with 71,551 trades, and the 14:00–21:59 UTC block carried 45% of the month's trades. The quietest hour was 06:00 UTC.
Flat: 1,050,075 SOL bought against 1,056,617 SOL sold, a net −6,542 SOL, or 0.3% of volume. Nine of the ten most-converged tokens ended with negative KOL net flow.
