Dmytro Budorin, the CEO of blockchain security auditor Hacken, has laid out five critical guidelines for safeguarding investments against fraud in crypto projects:
  1. Perform an in-depth analysis of the project, especially wary of high-flying promises without substantive details.
  2. Delve into the community, its engagement level, and the presence of bots on key social platforms.
  3. Conduct a detailed assessment of the development team. Scammers often attempt to showcase a team with a broad international representation.
  4. For projects with native tokens, pay attention to factors like token liquidity, asset vesting periods, and listing on reputable exchanges.
  5. Preferably wait for specialized firms to analyze the smart contract or at least perform a basic automated vulnerability scan.
These measures, though potentially time-intensive and financially demanding, are critical to mitigate the risk of losing your entire investment.
