#数字资产市场动态 Meme Coins Screening and Risk Prevention Guide: Even Ordinary Players Can Quickly Get Started
Want to survive longer in the Meme coin wave? Instead of relying on luck, it’s better to filter out 90% of the pitfalls early on. Although this process sounds complicated, it’s actually very simple to implement—spend some time doing your homework, and subsequent risk control will be much easier.
**First Level: Quick Check of Basic Information** (about 5 minutes)
Open a blockchain explorer (like Etherscan, BSCScan) first to see if the contract is open source. If it’s a black box, pass directly. Then search for the token name on audit platforms like CertiK or SlowMist. Tokens without any well-known audit reports should be marked as high risk. Another point often overlooked—check if the issuing chain is a mainstream public chain like Ethereum or Binance Smart Chain. Meme coins issued on niche anonymous chains? The risk factor doubles immediately.
**Second Level: In-Depth Investigation of Liquidity and Token Distribution** (this step is the most critical)
Liquidity locking is the first line of defense. Use tools like Team Finance to check; if liquidity isn’t locked or the lock-up period is less than half a year, avoid it. Then look at the top 20 addresses’ holdings—if they hold over 50%, it indicates overly concentrated chips. When a whale dumps, you’re the bag holder. Also, test the trading depth—placing small orders (like 1000 USDT) that cause large price swings indicates insufficient depth, so avoid such projects.
**Third Level: Authenticity of Team Background and Promotional Tactics**
Check whether team members are real-name or anonymous, and if they have actual blockchain industry experience. Completely anonymous with no public information should be approached with caution. Finally, examine the promotional content—if they only shout “10x, 100x, get in quickly” without revealing any application scenarios or technical updates, it’s likely just a pump-and-dump scheme.
After passing these three levels, you’ve already filtered out most high-risk projects. The remaining ones are the truly worth researching targets.
