Launch dates need source quality
A token launch date can move through social posts, calendar sites, influencers, and reposted summaries before the project confirms it. Readers should separate official announcements from secondary aggregation.
The calendar should record source count and confidence. A low-confidence date can still be useful as a review reminder, but it should not be presented as confirmed.
FDV gaps change the meaning of price
Low circulating supply can make a token chart look clean while future supply waits offscreen. The first comparison should be circulating market cap, FDV, and the schedule that connects them.
A high FDV gap is not automatically fatal, but it raises the evidence bar. The project needs real usage, fee demand, product delivery, or durable network effects to absorb future supply.
Custody is an operating system
A good custody setup assigns different jobs to different wallets. Trading balances, DeFi experimentation, long-term holdings, and tax records should not all depend on one hot wallet.
Readers should pair hardware security keys, withdrawal allowlists, test transfers, seed phrase backups, and written recovery steps with the amount of capital at risk.
