• CertikSkyNet. Due Diligence tool to tell just how good a project's safety is, how many audits it passed, and what direction online talks about it have. Also measures development activity directly from GitHub pages and provides security audit breakdowns. 
• GeckoTerminal. The all-seeing orb for pondering by DEX wizards. It has data on all the new and fresh coins, where to trade them and how much money is in the system. Good for finding new coins.

Tracking down the price behaviour: 

• TradingView. The tool to get info about token price movement and all the signals that come out of it. Best served with MACD, Ichimoku indicator and MarketStructureBreak (MSB) chart. 
• BlockhainCenter. Good for tracing down price movement anomalies and exploring charts like Correlation Tool to see which cryptos are in this together, and which aren’t. 

‍

Tools to tell if the project’s smart-contracts are scammy or not: 

• Honeypot. Good to tell if the project on BNB, Ethereum or Base is a scam or not — just punch a coin address in and see what it says. 
• ChatGPT. Copy-paste smart-contract address to GPT 4o or 1o, ask to find out if the contract has any malicious features to it. 
• TokenSniffer. Does what it says — sniffs out scammy coins. Zap the coin address and tool will do the rest for you.
