Things To Remember

• Never invest in a project you haven't researched yourself.
• Check if the team is public (doxxed) — anonymous teams carry more risk.
• Read the whitepaper or documentation to understand what the project actually does.
• Check on-chain data: liquidity, holder concentration, and smart contract audits.
