Crypto presale safety checklist

Contract and network

• Verify the exact contract address from an official source.
• Confirm source-code verification where available.
• Check the intended network before connecting a wallet.

Tokenomics and control

• Review total supply, presale allocation and wallet limits.
• Look for privileged owner/controller functions.
• Check whether vesting, treasury and liquidity arrangements are published.

Security and liquidity

• Do not treat explorer source verification as an audit.
• Check whether an independent security review exists.
• Understand whether liquidity exists, is planned, or is locked.

Marketing claims

• Be cautious with guaranteed-return, guaranteed-listing or urgency claims.
• Distinguish completed milestones from planned milestones.
• Verify exchange or partnership claims from the counterparty's official channels when possible.

Wallet transaction

• Review token approvals and spending limits.
• Confirm the destination contract and amount.
• Verify the final transaction on-chain.

Operational and access checks

Confirm that the official website, documentation and support channels agree on the same contract addresses and status. If the project relies on an administrator, controller or multisig, understand who can act and whether key protections are already in place. Treat a future security review, liquidity lock, exchange listing or partnership as pending until independently verifiable evidence exists.

Keep a written evidence trail

Before participating, save the official URLs, contract addresses, relevant explorer pages and the terms shown at the time. A written record makes it easier to distinguish later changes from the information available when you made the decision and reduces the risk of relying on screenshots or forwarded messages from unofficial accounts.
