I only take one note: whether the project team is actually working or not.

Don't listen to their visions; check the treasury to see where every penny was spent, whether the corresponding milestones have been achieved on time (code, audits, risk control parameters for bridges, actual usage that can be verified).
If it doesn't match, consider it as not happening—
that kind of inflation-driven "prosperity" created by studios in blockchain games, once the token price spirals up, no matter how much the treasury burns, it's just delaying the collapse.
