NFT RESEARCH STRATEGY

1 - Twitter: Avatar, banner, registration date.

- The avatar should be high quality and harmonize with the banner.
- The account should not be registered too long ago. Projects usually develop within a range of 1 to 4 months.

Art should not be stolen.
- Use image search to verify originality.

- Art should be aesthetically pleasing.
Evaluate the attractiveness based on personal judgment.

3 - Followers:

- Check if the followers are fake.
- Assess the quality of followers on TweetScout/Twitterscore(https://app.tweetscout.io / https://twitterscore.io/)

4 - Content Creation:

- The project should be active on social media. This includes active audience interaction, brand building, utility, AMA sessions, fan art, sneak peeks, memes, giveaways, and FCFS activities.

5 - Website:

- The website should be well-made, without using templates.
- It should contain all the information about the collection.

6 - Whitepaper/Wiki/Gitbook:

- Not all projects have a whitepaper; tier 2 and 3 projects often skip this. However, this isn't a dealbreaker.
- VC-backed projects should have a whitepaper. Its presence is a big plus, but it should also be analyzed.

7 - Team:

- Team members should be recognizable and preferably have a background.
- Check their LinkedIn/Twitter profiles.

8 - Collaborations:

- Joint giveaways, AMA sessions, direct involvement of external partners in the project development, and good relationships with top influencers should be present.
- Usually, a collaboration involves a whitelist giveaway among holders
- Even a mediocre project can succeed with strong collaborations

9 - Community Engagement:

- If admins interact in chat and answer questions, it’s a great sign.
- If admins hold AMA sessions and don't dodge questions, it’s a major green flag.
- If admins are anonymous, disable replies on Twitter, or ban people in Discord for inconvenient questions, it’s a red flag.

10 - Community:

 - Discord should be active even without a whitelist. The community should have a unique project vibe.

11 - Mint Price and Supply:
Criteria:
- High supply and expensive - bad
- High supply and cheap - not great
- High supply and free - acceptable
- Low supply and cheap - acceptable
- Low supply and free - excellent

12 - VC Backed:

- Any confirmed funding is good, but if tier-1 funds are involved, the project's prospects increase significantly.

13 - Promises:

- Monitor the team's fulfillment of their promises. If they promise something before the mint, it should be ready.

14 - Twitter Buzz:

- Track if the project is being discussed outside its profile.
- Search for username of your project and click "Search for username".
- The more threads, tweets, and activity, the warmer the reception from the NFT community.

2 - Art:

Art should not be AI-generated.
How to identify:
- AI art looks blurry.
- AI struggles with color palettes.
- AI can't write text on images.
- AI struggles with detailed work.
- AI has difficulty drawing fingers.
