TokenPost's crypto asset data platform "Token Watch" has launched an "Interaction Relationship Map" feature that allows users to visually understand the connections between projects, investors, and key figures at a glance.
The newly added relationship map visualizes the connections between investors and key figures, centered on crypto asset projects listed on the Korean Won market. It allows users to not only view the investment background of individual projects but also explore other projects backed by the same investors, as well as past and present affiliations of individuals, all within the same screen.
The map currently displays the top 30 investors by portfolio and key figures identified across multiple projects. Users can directly search for projects, investors, or people, or filter by type to extract only the desired relationships.
The relationship lines are categorized into ▲General Investment ▲Lead Investment ▲Current Affiliation ▲Past Affiliation. This distinction allows users to confirm not only which investors participated in a specific project but also who led the investment round, and which organizations a key figure is currently or was previously associated with.
For example, selecting a specific project displays the investors in that project and related individuals. Conversely, focusing on an investor shows that investor's portfolio of Won-listed projects and co-investment relationships with other investors.
Clicking on a node and using the "View centered on this node" function retains only connections within two degrees of separation from the selected object. This allows users to quickly focus on a specific project or investor and narrow down the core relationships, even when the overall network appears complex. The feature also supports dragging nodes and zooming the view.
With this relationship map, Token Watch goes beyond simple investor lists, enabling users to explore the multi-dimensional networks of capital and talent in the crypto asset market.
This feature can be used to uncover information previously difficult to confirm from project-disclosed investor logos alone, such as:
-
Co-investors
-
Frequently co-investing VC combinations
-
Investor overlap between competing projects
-
Key individuals recurring across multiple projects
For investors, it can serve as a reference to verify the background of projects of interest. For journalists and researchers, it can be used as a tool for interviews and analysis to uncover hidden commonalities between projects. For industry professionals and business development personnel, it can be used to view connection paths between projects, investors, and key figures.
The investor and people data used in the relationship map is based on RootData, with some information (such as whether a project has responded) being based on TokenPost's editorial records. For personal relationships, to reduce false connections for the same individual, associations are made only when X (formerly Twitter) account handles match or when two or more full names are identical.
The Token Watch relationship map requires no additional installation and can be used directly on the web, supporting both Korean and English interfaces.
A TokenPost representative stated, "To understand crypto asset projects, one needs to not only look at prices and listing information but also understand the capital and individuals connected behind them. We will continue to optimize the relationship map to allow intuitive exploration of scattered investment and people information."
Token Watch also notes that the information displayed in the relationship map may differ from the latest actual status due to the timing of data collection and verification, and all data is for reference only, not constituting investment advice.
