How do you verify that a projects funds will not be stolen by the devs? Many projects hold ICO's or some other sort of sale to raise money for development and many have turned out to be scams where the dev steals the money.
I will not go to ICO. I will prefer to follow the IEO of a project in the middle-top exchanges. Or I will alternatively go to Launchpad in middle-top exchanges. Moreover Binance.
If ICO, I will not risk my funds again there.
What are you looking for to verify that they won't run away with the cash?
How they sell the tokens, their team, roadmap, and also the detail of every proof of the projects. Of course, fundamentals are a good reason too to take the project. but not for ICO.
