Recently, I've been looking at a bunch of testnet interactions, and everyone is guessing whether the mainnet will issue tokens or whether the points are worth it. Honestly, what I fear most isn't a lack of airdrops, but that the project itself is unreliable.

When a newbie wants to see "credibility," I usually focus on three things: don't just look at the stars on GitHub, check if there have been real commits in the past three months and whether it's just one person working silently; don't just look for "audited" in the audit report, check if the issues found have been fixed and if there was a re-audit after fixing; upgrading permissions is even more critical—how many keys are required for multi-signature, who holds them, and whether there's a timelock (giving you a chance to change your mind). If not, I immediately discount it.
To avoid impulsive orders, I force myself to wait a night before acting, then review these three points again the next day. Many "impulses" just fade away on their own... Anyway, I’d rather miss out on some points than pay tuition fees for a mistake.
