Research framework

A practical checklist users can apply before trusting a crypto project.

Before you study a coin

What problem does it solve? A strong project should have a clear purpose beyond hype or price movement.
Who uses it? Look for real users, developers, liquidity, integrations, and ecosystem activity.
How is supply structured? Check circulating supply, unlock schedules, inflation, and insider allocations.

Before you trust market data

Is volume real? Low liquidity or suspicious volume can make a coin harder to trade safely.
Where is it listed? Exchange quality affects liquidity, spreads, accessibility, and execution risk.
What is the downside? Every asset has risk. Good research starts by identifying what can go wrong.
Risk note: This module is educational only. Crypto assets are volatile and can lose value quickly. Always research carefully and never treat learning material as financial advice.
