Due Diligence Essentials

5 Key Areas Every Analyst Reviews

1 🧑‍💼

Team & Governance

Who is behind the project? Are the founders credible?

Is the team public and transparent, or hiding behind avatars? How is decision-making handled through a DAO, multisig, or centralized control?

Founder credibility Public or anonymous team DAO vs. centralized governance 🔍 Anonymous team, fake profiles, concentrated control

2 🔐

Technology & Security

Strong crypto projects have clean, audited code and an active GitHub.

Smart contract design, original tech stack, and public security audits all matter.

Audit transparency GitHub activity Smart contract quality 🔍 No audits, insecure forks, inactive repos

3 💰

Tokenomics & Supply

Does the token actually serve a purpose, or is it just speculative?

Look at the supply schedule, unlocks, and how much is controlled by insiders or whales.

Utility & use case Emission & vesting Insider vs. community holdings 🔍 High insider allocation, unclear unlocks, no burn mechanism

4 🌍

Market Fit & Ecosystem

Is this project solving a real problem, and are users showing up?

Look for active wallets, real integrations, and signs of community or developer traction.

Actual use case Ecosystem adoption Strategic partnerships 🔍 No real users, fake roadmap, zero traction

5 📊

Financial & On-Chain Metrics

Look at the money: liquidity across DEX/CEX and protocol revenue.

Is the treasury healthy or just inflating a token?

Liquidity & TVL Protocol revenue Treasury & runway 🔍 Unsustainable yields, no revenue, no runway
