* **No or limited information:** Be wary of tokens with scant details about the project, team, or tokenomics.
* **Unknown or inexperienced team:** Research the project's team. Lack of transparency or a history of scams is a red flag.
* **Hidden Fees:** Watch for unexpectedly high transaction fees that could erode your profits.
* **Unequal Token Distribution:** Disproportionate allocation to creators could lead to unfair control.
* **Rug Pull:** If creators suddenly withdraw all liquidity, it prevents investors from selling their tokens.
* **Honey Pot:** Contracts designed to trap investors by preventing token sales.
* **Opaque Token Economics:** Projects with unclear or misleading financial models.
* **Unrelinquished Ownership:** If creators retain control over the contract, it poses risks.
* **Inflatable Supply:** Tokens whose supply can be increased without notice, diluting value.

✅ Always conduct thorough research (DYOR) before investing in any token. Verify the token's contract address, examine its code, and investigate the project's team and roadmap.
