I currently assess a project’s “credibility” mainly through three things: whether there are actually people doing real work on GitHub (don’t just look at stars—check whether the most recent commits are mostly a bunch of README edits); don’t treat audit reports as talismans—focus on the “known risks / uncovered scope,” and whether those “fixed” items truly match the code; upgrading permissions is the most important—who controls the multi-sig, what the signing threshold is (how many people), whether there’s a delay, and whether the contract can be changed in one click… in plain terms, whoever can move your money.

Recently, Meme and celebrity “trade call” hype has sparked another round of attention cycles. As an old LP, I just want to advise one thing: don’t take the final baton—though the show is exciting, it’s still just noise. In any case, I treat complexity as the enemy; if you can understand these three points, you don’t need to force your way in.
