How to find new crypto projects by Twitter bio keyword (2026)
Quick answer: By the time a project tweets, you're late — it's already been screenshotted and front-run. The earliest signal is the account being created with a keyword in its bio. X-Relay's Bio Watch scans all of X for accounts putting your keyword — a chain, protocol or ticker — in their profile bio, and pings Discord + Telegram the moment one appears, with a 🚨 FRESH badge for brand-new accounts. It's the third tracker type alongside the Search Tracker (keyword-in-tweet) and X-List Tracker. Paid feature, from $15/mo.
Everyone reads tweets. The account came first.
Trace any launch back to its origin and you'll find the same order of events: the account is created, the bio is written ("first NFT on <chain>", "native DEX for <protocol>", "$TICKER — bring your own wallet"), the profile picture goes up — and only then, hours or days later, comes the first tweet. Every tool in the category watches that last step. Bio Watch watches the first one. You're not early because you read tweets faster; you're early because you never needed the tweet.
Bio keyword vs. tweet keyword vs. follow graph
There are three ways to catch a new project on X. They answer different questions:
| Method | What it answers | How early |
|---|---|---|
| Bio keyword (Bio Watch) | Who just exists in my niche? | Earliest — at account creation, before any tweet |
| Tweet keyword (Search Tracker) | Who's talking about my keyword? | At first post — needs a tweet to fire |
| Follow graph | Who did a KOL just follow? | When an insider signals it |
The best traders run all three. But only bio-keyword discovery surfaces the project that hasn't tweeted, isn't followed yet, and doesn't have a contract address — the true day-zero.
What a Bio Watch alert looks like

"your companion for tempo — memo payments, encrypted DMs, pick your gas token"

The keyword is highlighted in the account's real bio — no AI paraphrase, no invented "why it matched". You see the account's own words, its size and its age, and you make the call.
Cut the noise (and the impostors)
A bare keyword catches a lot. Tighten it:
- Qualifiers — the bio must also contain one of these:
nft,dex,meme,token. Ideal for "first <thing> on <chain>". - Exclude — drop bios with stop-words like
parody,fan,scam. - Min followers — skip empty shells.
You get both the brand-new launch (🚨 FRESH) and the established account that just pivoted its bio into your niche (👀 in bio) — the badge tells you which, and nothing is dropped for being older.
Matching is word-boundary aware, so tempo hits @tempo and on tempo but never contemporary. And because it fires on bios, it's also the fastest way to catch a relaunch or impostor — a rugged project respawning under a fresh @ with the same name in its bio.
Set it up in 30 seconds
- Open @x_relay_bot and tap 👀 Bio Watch, or run
/addbio <keyword>on Discord. - Add qualifiers/filters to taste — e.g.
/addbio monad qualifiers:nft,dex,meme. - New matching accounts stream into your Discord/Telegram as they appear, fresh ones badged.
Bio Watch is a paid feature (not part of the free trial). Every paid plan from Lite ($15/mo) includes it, with up to 10 bio keywords. Remove one anytime with /removebio.
FAQ
How do I find new crypto accounts before they tweet?
Monitor X for a keyword in account bios, not tweets. Bio Watch scans X and alerts Discord/Telegram when an account appears with your keyword in its bio — freshly-created ones get a FRESH badge, so you catch a project the day it's created. Paid, from $15/mo.
What's the difference between a bio keyword and a tweet keyword?
A tweet-keyword tracker (Search Tracker) watches what accounts post; a bio-keyword tracker (Bio Watch) watches who exists. Bio Watch discovers new accounts by their profile description even before they tweet — the earliest signal of a launching project.
Can I filter out noise and impostors?
Yes — require qualifier words (e.g. nft, dex, meme), exclude stop-words (e.g. parody, fan), set a minimum follower count, or restrict to freshly-created accounts only.
