🤫 What is IDO?

Raising capital in the crypto industry is an important mechanism for the development of any project. What is the essence of an initial decentralized exchange offering (IDO)? Let’s break it down.

IDO – the process of initially offering tokens before they are listed on exchanges. In simple terms, it’s an opportunity for projects to raise funding directly from users.

The methodology is similar to initial public offerings (IPOs) in the stock market.

· IDOs allow projects to quickly launch into the market and raise funds for further development.

· Users can buy tokens at a low price and become early investors.

How it works:

1. A project announces its IDO and offers a certain number of tokens at a fixed price.

2. Depending on the platform, users fulfill specific conditions and participate. This could involve token staking or completing social tasks.

3. Distribution occurs after the token is listed on exchanges, according to the vesting schedule (token distribution plan among participants).



To participate in IDOs, you need to have a wallet (e.g Tonkeeper) and a certain amount of assets. Other conditions depend on the platform.

🧐 Tracking Your Crypto Portfolio

Imagine you store cryptocurrencies on multiple platforms: NOT on Binance, TON in Wallet, and ANON in Tonkeeper. Tracking these coins becomes difficult and requires a lot of extra steps.

It is important to learn how to effectively manage your crypto portfolio to see the big picture and make informed decisions.

We have compiled a list of trackers to help you organize your assets.

1. CoinStats – Automatically tracks all wallets, including TON-based ones, and assets from centralized exchanges (Binance, OKX, etc.). It also allows users to enter cryptocurrencies and transactions manually.

2. CoinMarketCap – One of the most popular platforms for tracking cryptocurrencies. It supports EVM wallets and centralized exchanges.

3. Excel – Suitable for deep analysis and accounting of all investments. Many processes can be automated, but knowledge of the program is required.

Regularly monitor your assets to have an up-to-date understanding of your portfolio’s status.

😵‍💫 Crypto Fear & Greed Index

When should you sell and buy crypto? Today, we’ll examine this question through the lens of the Crypto Fear & Greed Index.

The Fear & Greed Index analyzes the sentiment in the cryptocurrency market. The value ranges from 0 to 100 and is based on coin volatility, trends, trading volume, and search queries.

The indicator was created for the stock market but is actively used for cryptocurrencies as well.

How does it work?

– 0-24: Extreme Fear
– 25-49: Fear
– 50-74: Greed
– 75-100: Extreme Greed

Why is this important?

– Understanding sentiments helps predict market behavior.
– When the index shows "fear", it's a good time to buy, but if it shows "greed", it's a good time to sell.
– The indicator helps identify periods when the market is oversold or overbought.

Examples of use:

– Buying in a period of "fear". By early September 2023, the index started moving into the zone of "extreme fear". Further, more buyers entered the market, and BTC gradually rose from $25,000 to $73,000 at its peak.

– Buying in a period of "greed". Over the last month, the index remained in the "greed" zone, indicating a possible correction. As a result, BTC dropped to $59,000.

In any case, one should not rely solely on Crypto Fear & Greed. To make informed decisions, it's important to combine the index with other tools.

🤓 What is a DEX? Differences between DEXs and CEXs

Today, we will delve into one of the key topics in Web3 and determine which trading platforms are better to use.

DEX (decentralized exchange) – platforms for cryptocurrency exchange that operate on blockchains and do not require the involvement of a third party to conduct transactions.

CEXs (centralized exchanges) were discussed in this post

Examples of DEXs:

STON.fi, DeDust (on the TON blockchain)
Uniswap, SushiSwap (on Ethereum, BSC, and others)

Differences between DEXs and CEXs:

1. Centralization vs. decentralization
– CEX: Controlled by a single organization that oversees all operations and holds users’ funds.
– DEX: Operates based on smart contracts that automatically execute operations without intermediaries.

2. Privacy and anonymity

– CEX: Require Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures (identity verification).
– DEX: Typically, does not require KYC, allowing for anonymity.

3. Asset control
– CEX: Users entrust their funds to the exchange, which is risky. There have been cases of hacks and bankruptcies—e.g., the former major exchange FTX.
– DEX: Users hold funds in their own wallets, trade directly, and maintain full control.

4. Fees and speed
– CEX: Lower fees and high transaction speeds due to centralized infrastructure.
– DEX: Fees are usually higher (depending on the blockchain); transaction speed depends on network capacity.

5. Tokens
– CEX: Strict listing procedures limit the tokens available for trading.
– DEX: Ability to trade any tokens available on the blockchain.

Conclusions

DEXs provide more freedom and asset control, reducing the risks associated with centralized structures; however, they have their drawbacks: high fees and sometimes slower transaction speeds.

It all depends on your needs and preferences. We recommend combining DEX and CEX platforms.

🔎 Crypto evaluation

New tokens appear every day. What should you trust, and what should you avoid? We will provide you with the tools to evaluate projects on your own.

It is important to be able to analyze crypto and identify risks. Only a competent combination of knowledge and tools will help you preserve and even increase your assets.

Basic tools

The first step is to use crypto aggregators.

They provide all the important market data (e.g., market capitalization, price, trading volumes, and trends).

· CoinMarketCap
· CoinGecko

For more in-depth analysis, you can use the following resources:

· Santiment – social context analysis.
· BubbleMaps – data visualization of token movements.
· DexScreener – tracking new trading pairs, trading.
· TokenUnlocks – dashboard for token unlock data.
· TokenSniffer – checking new tokens for scams.
· Dune Analytics – creating analytical dashboards.
· Coinglass – derivatives exchange aggregator.

Sound judgment and observation are everything

Cryptocurrency analysis is not just about numbers and charts.

It is important to understand the technology and be able to identify promising teams.

Often, a single message on social media from a founder can tell you more than dozens of charts.

Follow the Twitter and Telegram accounts of projects you find interesting – it's a crucial part of the analysis.

Conclusions

Mastering the tools is important; however, successful analysis requires a comprehensive approach.

Continuous practice and adaptation to new market conditions are your keys to developing the necessary skills.
