Topic: How do you spot new launches and get in early? - page 2. (Read 269 times)

I usually discover newly launched project through coingecko or coin market cap, I expect that every new launched project will add their token to those two website.

That's why we need to adapt, you are right
Crypto space is constantly changing - that's the beauty of it, in a way.

Website with funding is a must - though Twitter and Telegram became the places to get the KOLs rolling and the shill of something is at full swing - nobody disagrees with the fact that the project that may seem to be good should be analyzed thoroughly to get your money and effort into it.
And even then, you may be wrong.

information about new projects generally scattered around the crypto social media, you just need to dig in to find some information, it's also why these projects hire CT to shill, so it can raise awareness.

as for me, I just follow the big CT from each ecosystem, and find out which new project they endorsed because in my opinion project that doesn't get approval from the famous CT and possibly leader of the ecosystem have higher chance of failing.

so in a nutshell :
- Crypto Twitter infleuncers (careful of paid shills)
- Crunchbase infos about seed funding
- Dropstab's infos about seed funding
- Exchange accounts for infos about upcoming new listings.

To be honest, I'm generally not fond of investing in new projects or investing in projects in their launching stage because I believe it is better to invest in projects that get mature a bit and spend some time in the market because then, it becomes easier for you to determine whether the project can perform or not, whether it has enough potential or it's all just temporary hype, and then you can evaluate all these things and reach a conclusion whether you want to invest in it or not, and if you want to invest, should it be for short or long term?

I would never recommend anyone who is new in the market to jump into new projects unless they have extra money that they want to spend on these things because it's full of risk. One can lose all their investment if a project doesn't gain any success and starts losing value quickly after getting listed. Altcoins are generally risky, on top of that, if you invest in them before they are launched or right after they are launched, the risk gets doubled.

True enough I guess since I haven't heard of HyperLiquid but I also find I have no inclination to look it up.

I still figure if it actually is worthwhile enough to bother with it'll come to my attention eventually, and now I have heard of it maybe next time I do I'll remember I had seen it mentioned before albeit only so far in terms of past performance, which as is famously said so much that I think the law might even require it to be said in some kinds of context is no guarantee of future performance...

I look forward to in-depth scrutiny of it by the experts around here.

The forums used to be #1 place for alphas back in the ICO era but things have evolved since then. Some of the biggest and successful project launches in the recent years have had little to no presence on the forum.

Take HyperLiquid for instance: It's the biggest airdrop in history ($7.5B in value) and they didn't have any forum ANN which used to be one of the most important criteria for upcoming project launches in the past.

As those who have come before me always say, "change is constant".

Legit projects usually list themselves in the forum to gather community support. They often create an announcement thread, which you can find in the altcoins section. I haven’t been following new altcoins closely lately, but I remember checking these sites to look at the listings. Maybe this could help you out.

For me discovering new projects has always been by perusing these forums.

Anything that doesn't even announce itself on BitCoinTalk always seemed to me to probably be such crap that they preferred not to expose themselves to the kind of expert scrutiny denizens of these forums can bring to bear.

Hi everyone, happy Sunday! 

If you're into web3, crypto trading, or even just a degen on the hunt for the next big thing, you’ll know how important it is to get quick access to new launches. It’s a huge advantage and can really give you an edge. But let’s be honest—the process isn’t always easy. Searching for on-chain data, sifting through information, and trying to filter out the noise can be overwhelming. 

Thankfully, things have gotten a bit easier with new innovations. For example, Twitter can be a great tool to spot new projects, though finding exactly what you’re looking for can still be a challenge. Platforms like CoinMarketCap (CMC) and CoinGecko (CG) also have tons of data, but again, filtering through it all isn’t always straightforward, and it’s easy to miss out on opportunities. 

Then there are platforms like LaunchX, which give you access to project tokens at the launch stage. They’re kind of like Launchpads, but in my opinion, they’re more sophisticated. Recently, ecosystems like HyperLiquid, AI, and SUI have introduced similar features too, which is pretty exciting. 

So, here’s my question: How do you discover new projects, whether you’re an experienced web3 user or just starting out? Do any of these methods work for you, or do you have other tips to share?
