Introduction
The flips on Solana I started exactly a month ago. During this month, I saw such a lot of X on the platform MagicEden , that I did not understand why such confident growth. So with such collections of my acquaintances have earned a large bank.
I was very interested to learn and get into this movement. I began to ask questions and I was told simply banal things which lead to success. People just do not make it own research and skip.
With the right reserch you can earn enough money on mints.
Founders and Team
When your friend send link to the project, you went to the discord server and start looking. The first thing we will certainly be interested in the team and the project’s founder, who is he? What did he do before? Or even he is an unknown person?
Here begins the most difficult part, we are looking for Twitter founder, and we see if he was involved in any major projects before, or his former collections (if any) became rug pull and rekt. How clean he is for fake follower, how attached he is to his project.
Now look at his asset in Discord, conventionally at least every founder should have a level 15 in his build project and not sit with 0 posts.
So, if he is a famous person, shares his life in real life, it’s certainly good, but what if nothing is known about the man? You don’t have to immediately dismiss the project and think that everything is bad. Anonymous also did a lot of cool projects, but it is still worth the same analysis with them, there are fewer guarantees.
The command (moderators, collab managers, head mods, trial mods and helpers )
Now let’s move on to the team. We all love our dear moderators, community managers, collab managers, people who give us WL, FCFS spots in other projects. But how did they get there? Where did they come from and what’s the connection between them and the founder?
I’ll start with an easy one: moderators like collab managers are recruited on request. At them, the least attention, for they are the usual workers with a portfolio, they liked the project, they applied and took job. Let’s move on to the harder part: the head mods and the team itself. Head mods are also understandable, it’s either a person with too huge portfolio, or he’s been working here a long time, or he’s in the team, but just under such a tick.
Go to his tweets, look also his portfolio (where he worked, who, what successes, whether he left after a mint from that project).
With the team, everything is much more complicated, there are two possible outcomes:
1. Uknown people who came to build with their energy.
2. A star team, holders of many blue chips, ready to make X’s for you.
If with the second option everything is clear, with the 1st it’s more complicated. You need to see who does what in the project, what his position and so on.
If each of them is engaged in their business-that’s fine, if they appear in the network once every 5 days, not very good. Don’t forget to check social networks in both options!
Utility
We have understood the team, we liked everything, now we read the roadmap and think, what will interest us?
We all know that NFT is a token in the blockchain, for which we should get perks. The perks are divided into two types: exclusive and DeFi.
The exclusive usually consists of:
- Type ( Exclusive ).
Closed Community (DAO). For example:
>Applications.
Passes to various hangouts and parties with holders.
2.TYPE (DEFi).Stacking, distribution of tokens for hold, raffles and the like.
All this is already a bit boring and has every project, if we want to find a project that will feed us, then look at new ideas, innovations, that is what we need.
But about the projects with staking and merchandise is not worth postponing to a distant corner, because there is support from above. There’s been a lot of hype lately for projects with Trust Labs. These are the daos that have millions of money, with their own launchpad and are willing to support artificially floor, collections that mint under their help.
Sorted out the utilities, all beautifully told, block by block, what’s where and when it’s going to be.
Community
Now we go to the chat room and see with whom we communicate to get our white list.
But before that, of course, we look at the twitter of the project, check for tweets, because normal people will not engage in tweets on their project. We look at the attraction of the audience (likes, retweets) on live posts.
We see that there is an activity, it’s good, back into the discord, look at the activity in discord on the number of memebers there, there will be proportions can be seen online, if the figure is decent and large, then it’s great, but if all bad, then we are not very happy. Most importantly, look feedback on the announcements and sneak peaks in the form of reactions.
Now the main nuances. Not always hype = gem, most often hype projects rekt because people with zero, always need to dior organic audience, even in small discord nice people and mods that are loaded to work.
Below I attach all the links you need for analysis:
> https://botometer.osome.iu.edu/ (presence of bot tweets – if higher than 2.5 , then the tweet is tweaked )
> https://hugo.moe/discord/discord-id-creation-date.html ( checks the creation of the discord channel , if the discord server is too old – it can be changed from another project )
> https://twitterscan.com/view/nft ( shows how many whales are subscribed to this project )

Art
This is one of the main aspects that can affect the price of a particular collection.
The art has to be aesthetically pleasing, beautiful, so that we feel good about putting it on the PFP too, not just flip it.
And isn’t the art stolen? Because if the art is stolen, then the delist from the sites or filing a lawsuit do not have to wait long for the author. There is a big plus! In the team can be a well-known artist, which is also a huge plus in the piggy bank. It works for us.
Example how to analyse the selected collection
Let’s try to analyze one of the projects.
Let’s try with the project C1/Rifters. We have successfully accepted the appeal, came in and see that on the top of the web is sort of a reaction, but the first thing we look to the right and the table of the team.
We see the nickname Chief Magistrate and Prisoner 999:
We go to their social networks and start exploring. We see that both have a reputation and experience:
We learned that both are members of the team Communi3, it’s a huge collection, which everyone has heard about, we are happy to understand that the team builds there, and here does not forget. And if anything will be able to get the project out on their own. Definitely strong!
We go to the roadmap or faq-read about what the project. And we understand that this is p2e game, which is already ready, it can be played. And the main purpose is that you played the game and earn money. Read more above, we understand that the collection will be cross-chain (there will be a mint on 4-th blockchain), an interesting idea with such a team has a huge chance to shoot. There is no default stacking and raffles with casinos, a plus in the piggy bank.
We go to Twitter and we see that there is almost no cheating:
which is definitely a plus, there is limitedness in the tweets, which is also good. Now we go to the general, write hello and see that people are happy to see us. As wrote the founders themselves, that the excitement to the project more than Communi3, before the minutes.
This also only brings a smile and pluses to the piggy bank. We find in the sneak peek, we see a lot of factions, nice art, with its own concept and style, they tried to create an adequate to the eye style and combination with factions. Definitely came out!
After all this, we see that the project pleases us, brings a smile and the understanding that it can give us X’s, we can safely fly in!
Remember that 98% of all collections will lie at the bottom of the OpenC and ME, and only 2% will give us the wealth, so more carefully and carefully pay attention to these points, maybe the project where you are sitting now will become the new BAYC or DeGods.
