Trust Army Tips Series continues.
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.
Toolbox for Task 4:
Ethereum – etherscan.io/
BNB Smart Chain – bscscan.com/
Base – basescan.org/
Polygon – polygonscan.com/
Arbitrum – arbiscan.io/
Optimism – optimistic.etherscan.io/
Avalanche C‑Chain – snowtrace.io/

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.

Hacken Alpha Intelligence Weekly Digest #50
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
Time to crush Task 7 – hackenio.cc/WebTrustArmy
Disclaimer: Projects can have private repositories, DYOR.

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

In 2022-2023, there were founders with a proven track record of cashing out investors' funding.
Since those times, the market has started to actually check founders' backgrounds before aping in.
Your goal in Task 9 is to turn “anon devs” into a clear vision of who’s actually in charge 👇
For Task 9 (Team):
– Identify CEO, CTO, CMO, and founders from site/docs
– Find their LinkedIn profiles and log each link
– For every key person, note: education, business experience, and working history
– Search for “reputation incidents” (scams, lawsuits, failed projects) and save links
Where you investigate people, not just tokens:
• LinkedIn – primary source for roles, history
• Crunchbase / Wellfound – startup & founder records
• X (Twitter) – what they say, how they act
• CoinTelegraph, CryptoNews, Decrypt – news + controversies

Everyone has heard about Seed, Series A/B/C, or Private rounds.
The success of a project is usually measured by the X’s they print. Dig deeper and find out who backed the project and at what cost.
Task 10 is about seeing every funding round and understanding where smart money sits👇
For Funding Rounds:
– Google + docs: find all public raises (seed, private, Series, etc.)
– For each round, log: investors, date, amount, price per token (if available)
– Cross‑check with official reps in Telegram/Discord to confirm or correct numbers
– Add website links for each investor (VC pages, fund announcements)
Where you should look for fundraising info:
• ChainBroker
• Crunchbase
• CryptoRank
• ICODrops
• Messari – (profiles, funding tabs)
• Crypto Fundraising – deal lists & rounds

Hacken Alpha Intelligence Weekly Digest #51
4 moves our DYOR Alpha community discovered this week: MEV‑protected swaps, invisible DEX rails, CEX → L2 capital bridge, and a small L1 chasing real‑time payments.
$COW, $ZRX, $INK, $KONET — same “infra” label, very different realities.
Here’s the report 👇 https://x.com/hackenai/status/2022325967973187728?s=20

Legal registration claims on the website never mean the same thing.
British Virgin Islands offshore company or Switzerland, with all compliance checks intact.
Task 11 – Find the jurisdiction tier and know what liability project has 👇
For Legal Risks:
– Find company registration + link (site, docs, OpenCorporates)
– Check how the token was distributed (ICO, airdrop, SAFT, mining, etc.)
– Look for US restrictions (“not available to US residents”) and save the source
If unclear, ask in the official Telegram/Discord and note the response (or lack thereof).
Where to discover legal risks:
• Messari – project profiles, compliance notes
• ICODrops – historical token sales
• WorldCoinIndex – extra links & basic data
• OpenCorporates – company registration records

All the previous Trust Army tasks point to one thing. Forget marketing, what matters is fundamentals.
You’ve studied through 11 tasks that taught you the basics, now it’s time to turn the basics into an opinion/verdict based on verifiable proof.
Task 12 – turn each lesson into a single project score 👇
For the Project Score, you have to rate:
– Security: audits, bug bounties, open‑source code
– Development: commits in the last active month
– Twitter active audience %
– DAO voter base (if it exists)
– Market cap range
– % of unlocked tokens
Sum the points — that’s your final Trust Army Project Score.
A low score doesn't guarantee a scam, and a high score doesn't guarantee success.
It’s a comprehensive risk assessment:
– Weak security but strong devs lead to a tech risk.
– Huge cap, tiny active audience could turn out to be exit‑liquidity.
Use the score to compare projects side by side, not to switch your brain off.
