Mawari Trilogy = 3 Hacken‑audited FlashPools
Part I awaiting verdict in 48h. Parts II & III lock in 5 days.
Then 72h to $USDC real yield rewards.
You can wait for Part I results, trace the pattern, or front-run it here 👉 hackenio.cc/FlashPool
⚠️Flash Pools are high-risk, high-yield instruments in security prediction markets.

Second on the career ladder is the analyst who doesn’t know what ATH means.
Crypto Risk Analyst defines “how bad it can get”.
Found in funds, foundations, exchanges, and intel firms – focused on capital preservation, that’s it.
Forget about upside, now you live in the trenches of probability of loss: protocol, token, systemic risk.
Focused on risks involved, price is just an opinion; risk is math.
CORE3 is based on Probability of Loss as the main metric.
If you think, “What's the worst that can happen?”, this is your path.

Everything works perfectly, until it doesn’t.
Protocol analyst sits in DeFi, infra, L1/L2 teams.
The main goal is to map how a system actually works – architecture, dependencies, failure points.
Unfortunately, it’s not a callout of your favorite KOL.
Understanding from the inside out > believing random CT influencers.
You have to analyze and design risk, not just bugs. Pros, cons and trade-offs across incentives and upgrades.
Here, CORE3 works around Proof of Opinion – structured arguments, reasoning. Leave CT drama on the side.
Trust Army missions train that exact mindset.

Being in security doesn’t always require hacking skills.
Security researchers live in Web3 security firms, audit and research teams, and incident‑response communities.
This job requires making sure others learn from exploits.
Understanding failures is a real security skill.
Dissecting incidents, writing post-mortems, mapping attack vector and researching root causes.
Trust Army trains analysis, structured thinking, argumentation, and reasoning from other POVs.
Security as a collective intelligence.

If you choose to connect the dots instead of chasing charts — it’s your time to shine.
Market intel lives in Web3 companies, research desks, foundations, and analytics platforms like CORE3. You turn markets, protocols, and narratives into a clear vision.
Sense-making at a bigger scale is how you can describe this job.
You track risk signals, trends, and narratives, and take part in controlling risk and strategy. CORE3 turns individual research into collective scoring and transparent DYOR community-driven proof of opinions.
Intelligence beats doomscrolling and fast reaction to buy signals from CT.

While everyone is waiting for Mawari Part I results.
Parts II and III are still open, same Hacken audit, same rules.
Both Flash Pools bring up to 200% APY in 3 days.

DYOR is a core skill for your future Web3 career
We broke down 5 roles where real research pays bills: Research, risk, protocol analyst, security research, and market intel.
Different roles that run around the same core skill. Turning noise into clear, defensible decisions.
Trust Army that flows into DYOR Certification give you the taste of the real deal.
CORE3 allows you to share your view on projects. Missions train how to think and research.
CORE3 turns that into proof of opinion and probability of loss—the way professional teams reason about risk.
If you already know how to read docs, question narratives, compare, and write structured DYOR.
You are closer than you can imagine.
The next step is to treat DYOR like it’s your job.
Time to pick your lane. Finish Trust Army missions with purpose.

Trust Army Tips Series starts NOW.
Most people forget about the first step, and later this issue shows up.
Task 1 is focused on finding Token Addresses. One address per chain. Pull them all and match the networks.
Your first mission: collect all token addresses of a project and match them to blockchains.
To make your journey easier, here are the services to use for Task 1.
To find everything you need, you can use CoinMarketCap, CoinGecko, and Dexscreener

Trust Army Tips Series Part II
Task 2 is where you learn how to find Top Holders of any Token.
Who holds what percentage? Understanding how many tokens live on CEX or DEX.
Maybe most of the tokens live in the 0x00…dead address.
Your job is to find holders across every chain👇
What's the idea behind this task?
You definitely bought a token where you were the exit liquidity for the whale holding 99%.
Next time you see a tweet with CA and #DYOR, you will be more cautious and double-check on the chain scanner how many holders are there and how much of the supply they hold.

BNB Smart Chain – https://bscscan.com/

Task 3: Token distribution tells the real story.
How much allo does the team receive on TGE? Are there any vestings? This reveals if the project is fairly launching or retail is going to suffer an institutional dump in 3 months.
Tokenomics is the crucial part that everyone forgets👇
Your mission is to find the official initial token distribution document.
In the tokenomics, every % counts. Team, investors, community, treasury.
This is how you spot a red flag before you become exit liquidity👇

Trust Army Tips Series Part IV
Task 4: Token Supply
Market cap is useless if the supply is wrong.
Price × actual circulating supply (after burns + locks) = reality.
It’s time to read totalSupply + decimals and finally understand it 👇
Your mission:
– Find the token address
– Open Contract → Read Contract
– Check totalSupply and decimals
– Subtract all burned tokens
– Exclude all locked tokens
The result: real circulating supply you can trust.

TrustArmy Tips Part V
Task 5 - Socials
100K followers means nothing if only 100 people see the post.
DYOR researchers measure how active the socials of the project are, instead of just looking at follower count.
Active audience % is the project’s reality check before trusting a “strong community” claim.
Your mission for Task 5:
- Take the last 10 Twitter posts and calculate the average views
- Divide by total followers × 100, you get Twitter active audience %
- Do the same for Discord: average reactions on 10 posts / total members × 100
And don’t forget to look up their Twitter Score, that’s a crucial metric.
Toolkit for Task 5:
Twitter Score – best way to get a clean X score for Web3 accounts
SorsaApp – social graph + follower quality, who actually follows a project
Use them together, then run the formulas.

As always on Fridays, we disassembled 4 projects in our DYOR Digest 50th time.
DePIN positioning, old‑school blockchain‑as‑a‑service, privacy storage, and high‑risk payments.
Four projects on our researchers spotlight: GEODNET, Ardor, Autonomi, Ultima.
Take a look at what our researchers found out about them 👇

For most, “ ✅ Audited” ticks all the boxes, but not for a true DYOR Researcher.
Serious analysts want to know and see all the proof:
- Who did the audit, and how recent is it?
- What's the scope of it?
- Were the findings fixed, if any?
- Is there an active bug bounty?
Turn vague “we’re secure” claims into verifiable links. 👇
For the chosen project, you need:
- Find official docs/security page
- Log documentation link
- Collect every audit report + auditor + audit date
- Check for bug bounty page
Take your time, this task is about extra caution.
Where to hunt for audits & bounties:
• Hacken Audits
• HackenProof
• Immunefi
• Sherlock
• CertiK
• DeFiLlama
• GitBook docs

Even if you're not a developer, GitHub has a lot to tell about crypto projects.
Take a look at your favorite project; there could be an abandoned repo with no commits in a year.
Task 7 is about checking who’s actually constantly shipping and who is just contributing to CT.
For Task 7:
- Find the official GitHub from the site/docs
- Open the main repo
- Filter by last month (or any active month in the last 6)
- Count contributors
- Count commits
You only need one tool for Task 7:
• GitHub
Tips:
– Always use the official GitHub link from the project site/docs
– Check “Insights → Contributors” and commit history

The project you see has a DAO that works; it won't hurt to check its health for potential manipulation
DAO makes sense when the actual community shapes the project's future.
In task 8, you have to determine whether governance is alive or just a slide on a pitch deck👇
For Task 8:
- Find if the project has a DAO (yes/no)
- Save links to: main DAO page + governance forum
- Check where voting happens: on‑chain or off‑chain
- Pull the number of proposals
Calculate active voters % = (avg votes per proposal / total lifetime participants) * 100
Where do you dig for DAO data:
Snapshot – off‑chain voting, proposal history
Tally – on‑chain governance dashboards
DeepDAO – DAO stats, participants, proposals
Aragon – DAOs built on the Aragon framework
Dig into DAO’s 👉 hackenio.cc/WebTrustArmy
