Strategy Domain

"Avoid protocols where the liquidity is not 'Locked' for at least 12 months. Locked liquidity prevents the developers from quickly withdrawing funds."

Operations Standard

"Use 'RugDoc' or similar forensic services to scan for 'Backdoors' in smart contract code before committing capital."

Legal & Compliance

"Establish a 'Scam Response' protocol to quickly write off losses and report incidents to cybercrime units."
