First of all, experts advised to study the distribution of tokens among holders:

• “Red Flag”-more than 50% of the sentence is concentrated in the hands of the top 10 wallets;
• The exception is the addresses of exchanges, DEX and liquidity blockers.

It is also worthwhile if the total number of asset holders is constantly reduced. This indicates a fall in interest in the project, noted in Coingecco.

Analysts also identified three signs of fraud:

• Honeypot – tokens that cannot be sold after the purchase;
• hidden commissions when buying and selling that “eat” profit;
• Developers with the history of fraudulent schemes like Ragpula.

Coingecco called the liquidity of the pool a “key indicator”. Blocked cost reduces the risk of sudden withdrawal of funds by the creators.

The age of token is also important, experts emphasized. The more new project, the higher the likelihood of deception. Most fraud occurs with recently launched tokens.

Coingecko noted that GT Score helps in the primary analysis, but investors need to conduct their own research.

Recall that for the first quarter of 2025, the analysts of the platform recorded the death of 50% of crypto assets.
