Token Research Fundamentals: How We Analyze Meme Coins

Every token we call goes through our rigorous research process. Here's how we evaluate opportunities.

Step 1: Contract Analysis

• Verify ownership: Is it renounced? Locked? Multi-sig?
• Check for honeypots: Can holders actually sell?
• Review tokenomics: Tax rates, max wallet, max transaction
• Audit status: Has it been audited? By whom?

Step 2: Liquidity Assessment

We look for:

• Locked liquidity (ideally 1+ year minimum)
• Sufficient LP size relative to market cap
• LP token burn for permanent liquidity

Step 3: Holder Distribution

Red flags include:

• Single wallets holding more than 5% (excluding contracts)
• Recent large accumulation by few wallets
• Developer wallets not locked or vesting

Step 4: Social & Community

• Twitter/X: Active, growing, organic engagement?
• Telegram: Real discussion or just price spam?
• Team transparency: Doxxed or anonymous? Track record?

Step 5: Narrative & Timing

Even well-structured tokens need the right narrative at the right time. We consider:

• Current market trends and hot sectors
• Upcoming catalysts (listings, partnerships, events)
• Meme potential and viral characteristics
