What a CTO alert means
A CTO alert means the community took over a token after the original team left.
Arcade Church watches the CTO channel because team behaviour often explains a chart better than the chart does.
For Arcade Church, a team that pays for a boost or edits its screener page is spending effort. Arcade Church reads CTO to see where that effort goes and whether holders follow.
One habit: Read the deployer's history: earlier launches, how long they lasted and how they ended. Check who paid for the boost and whether the same wallet holds supply.

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.
Screening rule
Arcade Church does not show every CTO alert. It applies one fixed screen, and the live board above uses the same rule:
- market cap at least $50.0K
- at least 50 holders
Checked against the latest 48 alerts in the lane (about 3 days): 25 passed. Median values for the passing alerts: cap $112.9K, liquidity $38.8K, holders 1536. None of the 48 lane alerts had liquidity below a tenth of the market cap. Median concentration in the lane: 27 % of supply in the top ten wallets.
Values measured on 2026-09-23 from the Empire feed. The screen is a filter, not a recommendation.

The checklist
Ten minutes, before any money moves.
- Decide your exit before you enter, including the price where you are wrong.
- Confirm on the chart which pool the price comes from and how deep it is.
- Check whether mint and freeze authorities are revoked where the chain allows them.
- Use an amount you can lose completely without stress.
- Copy the full contract address from the alert, never the ticker.
