If you’re not sure how to research projects, it’s tough to do it effectively. So, first things first: learn how to spot a good project from a bad one.

Here’s how I check out projects:
- Who’s on the team, and what are their credentials?
- Is the whitepaper original, or just recycled from other projects?
- How open and transparent are they?
- Are they just riding the hype wave?
- Does the platform have a real use case that helps the community?
- Are any credible companies backing them?

By the way, I’d recommend checking out Pepe Unchained. I’ve done my homework on it, and it ticks all the boxes.

You cannot do your own research if you do not have knowledge on how to do your research, so the first thing that you need to learn is to be knowledgeable on how to look for a good and bad project.

These are the parameters I'm using when checking on projects :
Who are the team behind the project and what are capabilities ?
Is the whitepaper not just a copy of past project?
Are they transparent ?
Do they rely on hype and shilling ?
Do the platform have a usecase that will benefit the community?
What credible companies that are backing the project?
