Actually useful "projects" can be counted on the fingers of two hands, so chances of stumbling upon one are slim to none. First of all, you have to ask yourself does it solves any real issue, check the team and their previous experience, whitepaper etc. But to become good at that you need some experience, meaning a lot of money lost in the process. Much better alternative to that is just buying bitcoin whenever you can so you don't have to worry about any of that.

This azimuth thing that you mentioned screams "scam" from the moment you open their website; from unrealistically high APY, to a ridiculous claim that they will give a $450k worth yacht to one lucky investor.
