Before buying
How to evaluate a coin before buying
Creator historyCheck whether the creator has launched before, replied to users, or built a visible community.
Holder distributionLook for concentrated user wallets. A bonding curve vault is not the same as a normal whale holder.
Volume and tradesReal activity matters. A coin with almost no trades can move sharply on small buys or sells.
Community and livestreamsReplies, livestreams, and clear communication can help users judge whether the creator is active.
Links and identityCheck whether websites, socials, images, and claims look original and consistent.
Red flagsAvoid guaranteed-profit claims, fake team claims, copied links, seed phrase requests, and spam links.
Trading basics
Key terms for new traders
Market capEstimated token price multiplied by total supply. It is not the amount of money inside the coin.
LiquidityThe available trading depth. Low liquidity can make price move quickly.
Bonding curveAn automatic market where buy and sell activity changes the curve price before graduation.
GraduationA technical milestone where a coin that reaches the threshold can move from the curve to DEX liquidity. It is not a profit guarantee.
ATHAll-time-high market cap or price shown by platform data. Past highs do not guarantee a future return.
24h volumeThe approximate value traded in the last 24 hours. Higher volume can show activity, but it does not prove safety.
Risk
Risks every buyer should know
Meme coins are high risk. Creators can stop posting, social hype can disappear, liquidity can be thin, and prices can move sharply. Never spend money you cannot afford to lose.
No launchpad, chart, holder count, livestream, graduation status, or community signal can guarantee that a coin is safe or profitable. Treat all signals as information, not promises.

Red flags
Common red flags
