Desk 1003 · BNB Chain
One desk, one lane: Graduated on BNB Chain. Gundam Zone • Crypto Alliance prints the live feed and the honest numbers behind it.
Loading live Graduated alerts…
Screen: market cap at least $20.0K, liquidity at least $5.0K, at least 100 holders, top-10 wallets holding at most 25 %. Charts open on GMGN.
Alerts reach Telegram before any web page. Gundam Zone • Crypto Alliance links the routes that fit this lane.
A Graduated alert means a launch has left the launchpad and its liquidity now sits in a regular pool.
The first hours of a token decide most outcomes. Gundam Zone • Crypto Alliance follows Graduated on BNB Chain because that is where supply, liquidity and holder spread are still settling.
Gundam Zone • Crypto Alliance watches the launch lane because most failed tokens fail there. The Graduated channel is its raw input; the checks below are the filter.
Quick test: Look at the holder count trend over the first hour; a flat count with rising volume points to wash trading. Compare market cap with liquidity. A small pool under a large cap means a thin exit.
| Token | Chain | First alert cap | Tracked cap | Multiple | Report |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frug | SOL | $29K | $551K | 19x | 2026-08-26 |
| HeeHaw | SOL | $54K | $1000K | 19x | 2026-09-06 |
| GrokBot | SOL | $70K | $4400K | 63x | 2026-08-24 |

Selected dated examples from XTRACK reports: multiple = tracked market cap at the report date divided by the market cap at first alert. These are not typical results and not realised profits.
The scoreboard does not yet hold enough mature Graduated alerts on BNB Chain to publish a rate. The chain-wide figure over 7 days: 19 % of alerts reached 2x within 24 hours and 91 % died within the day.

The rule behind this page. Gundam Zone • Crypto Alliance keeps an alert only if it passes all of these:
In the 48 most recent lane alerts at build time (about 36 hours), 23 passed this screen. The passing group sat at a median $35.7K cap with $18.1K in the pool and roughly 178 holders. None of the 48 lane alerts had liquidity below a tenth of the market cap. The median top-10 holder share across the lane was 25 %.
Values measured on 2026-09-24 from the Empire feed. The screen is a filter, not a recommendation.
Ten minutes, before any money moves.
| # | Check |
|---|---|
| 1 | Try a small sell early; some tokens restrict selling. |
| 2 | Search the contract in the Empire Telegram network to see other alerts on it. |
| 3 | Look again after an hour, because early data on thin tokens shifts quickly. |
| 4 | Open the chart and confirm the pool, the pair and the liquidity figure. |
| 5 | Compare volume with liquidity and holder growth. |

Gundam Zone • Crypto Alliance is a Blackhat Crypto Empire desk that follows the Graduated channel on BNB Chain and shows the network's live alerts with the checks we use to read them.
From the Blackhat Empire alert network: on-chain data, launchpads, screeners and tracked wallets, filtered and posted to Telegram. The live board reads the same feed.
It opens a GMGN chart. The link includes our referral code, which can pay the publisher a commission.
The desk does not trade from this page and does not take payment from projects for listing them.
