In my personal Foldit history, I've seen very few "world n° 1" solo players. Here they are, as I can remember:
Galaxie (who even ever got rank 1 evo and solo 1 at the same time)
Timo Van Der Laan
retiredmichael
Gitwut
tokens
LociOiling (who even ever got rank 1 evo and solo 1 at the same time)
Historical data starting 8 apr 2014 are available here:

May I ask to the oldest players if they can add players to this list for the time before 2014 ?
Just curious.
And to the forgotten, those you have remained with foldit throughout the years and have not reached rank 1 nor evo 1 but still carry on day after day. Their sometimes overlooked contributions deserve recognition as well.
Aunt Deen contributed so much to the game. While she wasn't around long while I was learning the game, she left a legacy of black belt videos and so much positive energy about the game. Her curiosity, openness to many approaches, and collecting the best from everyone is what I love most about Foldit
JMBrownlee & Susume have both helped me start to understand the real science, Frood has endlessly tried to help a dyslexic folder work on chirality after mastering some basics and is one of the best hand folders. So many of you have been generous on Vet chat. Brow & Gary Forbis and Rav3n and Bruno have written recipes to help me do things I would never have time or the ability to do on my own. My team works on my skills ;) I appreciate all of you. The mistakes are my own.
All of you are truly golden in my opinion. I think we are strongest together

or

then choose the date. You will be able to see who was #1 at any time an archive capture was made.
Good idea. BTW, this site is interesting for many other purpose.
they all no match for the two mighty protein folders from the last decade

the rest are mainly automated script witches with their pants pulled up too far and shirts tucked in.
