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

Take on Task 9 👉 hackenio.cc/WebTrustArmy

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

Take on the Task 11 👉 hackenio.cc/WebTrustArmy

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.

Mawari Part II – Stakers win again 🎯

HackenProof went through all security reports, and the results are here: no critical vulnerabilities.

Stakers once again walked away with up to 200% APY in $USDC rewards and got their $HAI back.

Part III next… Don't forget to withdraw your rewards 👉 http://hackenio.cc/FlashPool

You’ve made it. Training is done, time for the final exam.

In Task 13, you start thinking like a full‑stack analyst: tokenomics, funding, security, price action, socials, risk/reward – one coherent story.

This is your final exam on a real project 👇

For the Final Exam, you need:
– Project & link
– Tokenomics
– Funding rounds
– Security (audits, bounties, code openness)
– Token performance
– Socials (real activity, not just follower count)
– Risk/Reward (what can go right vs what can kill it)
– Project Grade (your justified verdict)

Every opinion must be backed by numbers or sources.

Upon completion, you will finally understand what real DYOR looks like, and you will be able to answer the big question.

“Given all this data, does this project deserve my time, attention, and further research?”

That’s how Trust Army turns into your personal DYOR framework.

We turned normies/degens/retail into paid DYOR researchers earning $HAI.

Here's the exact 13-task system we use — addresses to final verdicts, all tools included.

If RWA/FX infra is the next 100x like $ONDO, KiiChain is the one to watch before TGE.

KiiChain has no token live yet – but it’s already wiring stablecoins and RWAs as an on‑chain FX rail for emerging markets.
