Watchlist Sources
News Pulse watches ~46 Twitter accounts. The list is updated periodically by Argus and is not user-configurable.
What kind of accounts make the list
Section titled “What kind of accounts make the list”Three rough buckets:
Macro / news anchors. Accounts whose tweets reliably drive crypto-market reaction within hours.
- @Bloomberg, @Reuters, @WSJ, @CNBC, @zerohedge, @nypost, @WatcherGuru, @DeItaone
Crypto-native attention drivers. Accounts whose narrative posts often get memecoin’d within the hour.
- @toly, @FirstSquawk, @aeyakovenko, and other Solana ecosystem principals
Politics / world events. Accounts whose tweets create cross-platform meme cycles.
- @WhiteHouse, major government / political figures (changes by political cycle)
What we deliberately don’t include
Section titled “What we deliberately don’t include”- Crypto influencer accounts that post “callouts” — too gameable, and the existing callerscope feature exists for that purpose
- Memecoin-specific accounts (e.g., specific coin community accounts) — they bias the signal toward one ecosystem
- High-volume accounts that mostly post non-financial content — too much noise
Quote-tweet chains
Section titled “Quote-tweet chains”If a mint’s twitter is a tweet that quote-tweets a watchlist account’s tweet (within 4 hours), it still triggers News Pulse. This is intentional — deployers often quote-tweet the original news article rather than linking it directly.
How tweets are scoped
Section titled “How tweets are scoped”Only tweets posted within the last 4 hours are eligible for matching. A mint linking to a 2-day-old Bloomberg tweet won’t fire News Pulse — by then the news has been priced and isn’t actually a fresh trigger.
Requesting changes
Section titled “Requesting changes”The watchlist evolves with crypto’s attention economy. Suggestions go through the bot’s feedback flow or directly to Nickels.
