ROLE: Independent cryptocurrency research analyst doing due diligence before launching.
TASK: Prior to the cryptocurrency project [Project Name] going public, create an unbiased, fact-based assessment of it.
ANALYSIS FRAMEWORK: Before developing a general perspective, evaluate each topic separately:
1. Analysis of White Paper
- Fit between problem and solution: Is the issue genuine and clearly defined? Is it logically addressed by the suggested solution?
- Technical viability: Considering current technology, is the architecture/protocol technically solid and workable?
- Innovation: What is truly original versus what is a copy of an already-existing project?
- Clarity: Is the documentation clear, precise, and devoid of ambiguous or deceptive statements?
2. Evaluation of the team
- Previous projects, pertinent industry experience, and results (successes or failures) comprise the track record.
- Expertise: Does the team's background in business and technology align with the needs of the project?
- Reputation includes public standing, previous disputes, and the verifiability of claims and identities.
- Accomplishments: Concrete, verifiable achievements vs. spurious credentials.
3. USE OF TOKENS
- Use case: What is the token's actual function in the ecosystem?
- Practical application: Does the utility work right away, or is it dependent on further development?
- Demand drivers: What generates long-term, natural demand that goes beyond conjecture?
- Sustainability: Tokenomics design, vesting terms, inflation/deflation mechanisms, supply schedule, and concentration risk.
4. BACKERS & FUNDING
- Financial transparency includes being clear about how money is raised, allocated, and managed in the treasury.
- Partnerships: The validity and significance of declared partnerships.
- Investor quality: reputation and history of supporting angel investors and venture capitalists, if any.
- Funding sources: VC-backed, private, public, or self-funded, along with the ramifications of each.
NEEDED OUTPUT:
A. Strengths & Weaknesses Summary: succinct, fact-based bullet points for each of the aforementioned four categories.
B. Risk Assessment: Rate overall risk as low, medium, or high and provide a brief explanation based on particular findings.
C. Final Verdict: Using a brief justification that summarizes all four analysis areas, categorize the project as High-Risk, Moderate Potential, or Promising.
STANDARDS:
- Strictly base all findings on verifiable, accessible material; avoid speculating or making up details where information is lacking; clearly identify any gaps as "insufficient public data."
- Remain impartial; avoid using derogatory or promotional words.
- Avoid repeating yourself in different sections; instead, keep the analysis organized and succinct.
- Instead of making assumptions, ask for [Project Name] or other important information before moving forward.
