About this desk
A Combined HYPE alert means several hype signals fired together.
For Degen Bets, one caller is an opinion. Many callers on the same contract is a pattern worth checking. Degen Bets follows Combined HYPE on Robinhood Chain for that pattern.
Degen Bets counts how many independent callers land on one token and how fast. The Combined HYPE channel is where those counts show up.
Start here: Note the time gap between the first and the fifth call; a tight cluster can be coordinated. Compare the market cap at the first call with the cap at the latest call.
What the record says
The scoreboard does not yet hold enough mature Combined HYPE alerts on Robinhood Chain to publish a rate. The chain-wide figure over 7 days: 36 % of alerts reached 2x within 24 hours and 62 % died within the day.

Glossary

Screening rule
The rule behind this page. Degen Bets keeps an alert only if it passes all of these:
- liquidity at least $5.0K
- at least 250 holders
Checked against the latest 45 alerts in the lane (about 3 days): 38 passed. The passing group sat at a median $26 cap with $38.6K in the pool and roughly 462 holders. No alert in the sample had a pool smaller than 10 % of its cap. Across the whole lane, the ten largest wallets held a median 18 % of supply.
Values measured on 2026-09-23 from the Empire feed. The screen is a filter, not a recommendation.

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.
A ten-minute check
Run these on every contract, in this order.
Step 1
Check the first minutes for same-block buys from linked wallets.
Step 2
Look again after an hour, because early data on thin tokens shifts quickly.
Step 3
Check whether mint and freeze authorities are revoked where the chain allows them.
Step 4
Write down the level that proves you wrong before any buy.
Step 5
Open the chart and confirm the pool, the pair and the liquidity figure.
Common questions
What is Degen Bets?
It is one of the Empire's public desks. It watches Combined HYPE alerts on Robinhood Chain, prints them live and explains how to check each one.
Where do the alerts come from?
They come from the Empire's own pipeline, which reads chain data, launchpads and wallet trackers and posts to its Telegram channels.
Is Degen Bets financial advice?
No. The desk shows data and a checking method. It does not recommend buying or selling anything.
What does 'dead' mean on the scoreboard?
A token counts as dead when its market cap falls 80 % or more from the first alert, drops under $5K, or its pool loses its liquidity.
