Is it important to research the whitepaper in the project? then is there a right way to find out if their whitepapper is real, not fake? What do you think?
Studying the whitepaper of a project would reveal many things about the project and their credibility.
Firstly, you'll know about the effort put on, a scam would have a poorly developed whitepaper with many grammatical errors and plagiarism. Searching some random phrases and viewing the IDs of the team may reveal if they are plagiarised.
Secondly, you'll have a good idea about tokenomics and how the project aims to deliver and know about the roadmap.
