Short, plain-language explainers. Start here if you're new to crypto due diligence.
No jargon — what an audit actually checks, and what it means for you if a project doesn't have one.
A contract can be changed after you check it — that's how most rug pulls actually work. Here's what to watch for, and what watching can't catch.
Tokenomics, vesting, FDV, TGE — plain-English translations, and which sections actually matter.
Patterns that show up again and again before a project quietly fails or turns out to be a scam.
Neither, by itself. Here's how to actually read that fact instead of treating it as a verdict.
A short checklist you can run yourself before you buy, invest, or contribute — no report needed.
Test whether a token can be sold, read the answer, and check it by hand on Etherscan or BscScan. Solana works differently — here's how.
Paste an address to see the locked share and the unlock date, or read them yourself on Etherscan or BscScan: pool, LP holders, locker, unlock date.
The money in the token’s pool can be pulled out at any time. When that matters, when it’s normal, and what to check next.
One keeps the pool in place, the other keeps the team’s tokens off the market. Why a locked pool doesn’t stop a dump, and how to check both.
Clanker locks every pool in its own locker for good. Why it can’t be pulled, what the creator can still sell, and how to check a Clanker token.
Pons on Robinhood Chain locks every graduated pool for good. The locker addresses, the creator tax scanners report as 0%, and how to check a Pons token.
Every Doppler token, on Base or Robinhood Chain, is owned by Doppler’s Airlock, which can’t touch it, and its pool is locked for good — the hook can’t pull it either. Bankr tokens included. What vesting and launch fees still allow, and how to check.
Nobody can pull a UNCX-locked pool before its date, not even UNCX. The locker addresses, what a lock doesn’t cover, and how to find the date — including V3 locks that scanners show without one.
What a mint function is, who is allowed to call it, and why renouncing ownership doesn't always close the door.
Your wallet won't show it before you trade. Here's where the number lives, why it can change after launch, and how to read it yourself.
It's on every checklist, rarely explained. Here's what's actually being locked, and how to check it yourself.
Not automatically either way. Here's how to actually judge it instead of using it as a shortcut.
"Audited" gets treated as a safety guarantee. It isn't one — here's the real scope.
The most common way people lose money in crypto — and the signs that tend to show up first.
A trap coded into the token itself. Here's how it works, and how to check before you buy.
"Doxxed" isn't the same as "verified." How to actually check the people behind a project.
The alphabet soup of token sales in plain English — and which structure actually protects you.
Free tokens are the oldest bait for the most expensive mistakes. How to claim safely.
Type a name and see every token using it on six chains, with the real money in its pools — then check the one you pick.
