Recently, when reviewing projects, I tend to check GitHub and audit reports first, not to pretend to understand, but mainly to confirm whether they are "actually working" and who can press the pause button if something goes wrong. Don't be intimidated by the word "audit" as a beginner; focus on two points: whether the scope of the audit covers the core contracts, and whether the conclusions are clearly stated as "fixed/not fixed/not in scope." Then look at upgrade permissions—can they be changed through multi-signature to modify logic or parameters? Who are the signers, what are the thresholds, and is there a timelock (giving you reaction time)? An analogy in daily life is like an elevator in a residential area: having an inspection report doesn't mean it will never break; you also need to see if the maintenance key is held by only one person—if it breaks, who takes the blame? By the way, thinking about the recent collapse of blockchain games, when inflation kicks in and studios enter the scene, the token price spirals, and many "self-consistent" projects are actually just relying on constantly recruiting new users to keep going... Anyway, I now tend to question any overly ambitious promises I see.
