Rating (Crypto Project Evaluation System)

1) How CryptoTotem Rates Their Projects

Our rating system evaluates qualitative and quantitative factors to estimate the level of interest in a crypto project’s token during its token sale (ICO/IDO/IEO/TGE) and the short-term post-launch period. The “Interest lvl” rating is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute financial, legal, or investment advice. Please review our Disclaimer for important risk disclosures.

Each project undergoes independent research and analysis. We aim to provide objective, data-driven insights into market interest, community engagement, tokenomics, and funding structure. We also evaluate key sale parameters, including hard cap, token distribution, vesting/unlock schedules, token utility, valuation metrics, security audits, and other relevant indicators. Crypto projects are inherently high-risk, and we do not guarantee accuracy or future performance.
