Abstract

      Here we give an overview of the follow-up campaign of the gamma-ray bursts. And then we give an introduction about GWAC project which is aiming to detect the prompt emission with high-cadence photometry and large field of view monitoring. Besides, we also present our plan to search for the associated counterparts of gravitational wave events in the optical during the O3 run.
