What criteria do you look for when you research a token/crypto? And what tools do you use to do your investigation? Please provide as much details, examples, walk throughs, tutorial links as possible.
Like if you want to know what percentage of a token is being held for a few VC's, developers, initial investors, etc.? Or how do you monitor inflows and outflows over a period of time?
There is no need for a link, my friend, all that is important is for you to know that there is a new listing by exchanges or presales. Of course, exchanges are popular, you can follow any of the top ones. As for the new listings, if you are conversant with online crypto handles and news outlets like coindesk.com, you may know, because they are not always coming out in the same way or format. And of course, the social media handles they use cannot be the same because it is not the same brains behind them in most cases, which makes it somewhat difficult to know. Just be active on crypto news and channels, you might probably get the gist somehow. Even the feeds of some exchanges are good suggestions here, they like to gossip a lot to our advantage.
After locating the project, let me warn you that you are on your own at this point as any presale project could be a potential scam or real project, and no one knows this at first. But when they list it newly on exchanges, then you are better off. You should now weigh the project itself (by then you would have known everything about the website and the social media handles), the community size they have, the current price, the demand and supply, the blockchain they list it, how many projects are already available on that blockchain and many more. All these should be good enough for you to make an informed decision.
You may also use coinmarketcap.com for some information, especially for the demand and supply (inflow and outflow you requested).
