Hour-one dispersion

Volume lies.
Dispersion
doesn't.

The strongest finding in virality research is that community dispersion predicts what spreads and early volume does not. hoodScore rates every new token by how many distinct, unconnected social clusters it reached in its first hour. Nobody else in crypto measures this.

01 — the finding

Reach beats
intensity. Every time.

Diffusion studies keep landing on the same result: what separates a cascade from a blip is how many unconnected groups pick it up early — not how loud any one group gets. Crypto still ranks tokens by volume, holders and transaction count. All of those measure intensity. None of them measure reach.

Dispersion · six unconnected clustershoodScore 87
A tenth of the mentions, spread across six groups with no shared edges. Six independent entry points instead of one. This is the shape that keeps going after the first room gets bored.
02 — the score

One number. Three inputs.
None of them volume.

Hood count

weight 0.5

How many distinct communities mentioned it inside the first hour. A cluster counts once whether it posted twice or two hundred times.

Cross-edges

weight 0.3

How much those communities already overlap. Every shared follow between two clusters makes them less independent, and pulls the score down.

Seed independence

weight 0.2

Whether the first posters are strangers. Shared funders, shared follow history or a habit of posting together collapses them into one seed.

A token can be trending everywhere and score under 20. That is the point of the number.
03 — how it works

Sixty minutes, then the window shuts.

The clock starts at the first public mention — not at launch.
  1. 01

    Catch the first mention

    We watch the feeds, not the chain. The moment a contract address is posted anywhere public, the hour starts.

  2. 02

    Map who else said it

    Every account that repeats it in that hour gets pulled into a graph with the follows, replies and funding links between them.

  3. 03

    Count the pieces

    Cut the graph into components with no edges between them. That count, weighted by how cleanly they separate, is the hoodScore.

Nobody else publishes this number. Being the only source of it is the whole moat.
