How to read these numbers: this covers creators indexed and validated inside Koinon Link, not every creator on the platform. Suspected bought-follower accounts are quarantined and excluded from the table above (shown separately). The authenticity score is our own anomaly detection over follower/engagement structure, not a platform-official metric. Figures update as collection continues.

How country attribution works
Most platforms do not expose a country field for creators. Attribution here comes from verifiable public signals: the region stated on the channel or profile, region markers in post metadata, and language and locale cues in the profile. Creators we cannot attribute are left unattributed rather than forced into a country — so the true count for South Africa is higher than shown; this page only counts what can be established.
