Key Personnel<br />

Due diligence checks are thought to reduce financial risks, which<br />

Web3 and crypto markets can bolster with. Ranging from rug pulls,<br />

flash loan attacks, and project failure. But, due diligence is not a sole<br />

indicator of performance<br />

The good news is, due diligence is typically performed by multiple<br />

parties if it’s a well-regarded project. This means for the retail investor<br />

and angels are supporting.<br />

Large and well-regarded VCs have extensive due diligence processes.<br />

For this exact reason, the two main criteria I will be following are:<br />

I would like to stress that this is far from financial advice. The<br />

‘suites’ can be wrong too, but I typically don’t like to bet against<br />

experts. Cobie, Co-Founder of UpOnly Podcast, pointed out some<br />

potential flaws in Solana ecosystem tokenomics in his “Trading the<br />

metagame” substack post.<br />

“The Solana ecosystem had it’s own “very high FDV” sub-metagame,<br />

whereby the only people that were really early were the people that<br />

funded the seed round.” Cobie did point out. Popular trader Hsaka<br />

also poked fun at the ecosystem Tweeting a meme highlighting the<br />

‘very high FDV’ and the early seed round investors.<br />

So, there are ‘veterans’, who suggest differently.<br />
