Reviewing a token sale before committing funds

Frequently asked questions
Which terms are decisive when comparing token sales?
Compare fully diluted valuation, circulating supply at launch, investor and team unlocks, use of proceeds, token utility, governance rights, sale caps, refund terms, market-maker arrangements, audits, and the path to liquidity. A low sale price is not automatically attractive when supply is large or earlier buyers received substantially better terms.
Does joining a token sale guarantee tokens will be tradable?
No. Listings may be delayed or never occur, claims can be restricted by vesting or eligibility checks, and available markets may have shallow liquidity. Even after launch, price discovery can be volatile and concentrated holders may sell, so participation should not depend on an assumed immediate exit.
