If you are a top trader or project team that can control the market from the opening, the following content may not be useful to you. But if you are an ordinary player on the chain, this set of tools can directly help you avoid many pitfalls.
Honestly, most people's first question is often unclear, and losses are almost guaranteed. So we need to start from the beginning.
**Level 1: Understand the Narrative Before Acting**
Many narratives of SOL chain projects are highly localized, and beginners simply can't grasp them. You need to learn how to quickly understand these things.
The first step is to ask AI or search directly. Don't be afraid to look foolish—just ask, "What does this term mean? I need a Chinese explanation." AI will give you the most straightforward answer.
The second step is to dissect the information sources. See how the community discusses it, search for the project's CA, and translate English materials directly. The key is not to pretend to understand but to truly grasp what this thing is about.
The third step is to compare with the day's hot topics. Does this project's narrative align with the main story on the chain today? Is it a new gameplay extending from the main storyline?
Most importantly: there are daily themes on the chain. Participate along the theme, and your chances of winning naturally increase. If you don't understand the narrative of a project, skip it. Don't waste time pondering questions like "If I study it thoroughly, will it fly away?" Truly top-performing projects are rare, and your luck hasn't reached that level yet.
**Level 2: If the Narrative is Right, the Market Must Also Be Correct**
Understanding the narrative correctly doesn't mean it's worth buying. You also need to confirm these points:
Is there already an OG project under this narrative? Who are the most aggressive projects right now? Are the number of holders and market cap within reasonable ranges? Are there obvious issues with pool depth, holding structure, or token parameters?
Simply put: if the narrative is correct but the market structure is poor, it's just free money.
**Level 3: Good Projects Also Need Timing**
Don't chase highs or blindly FOMO. Don't get overly excited just because you fear missing out. Truly good projects will give you a chance to get on board, not just create emotional hype. When the market cap isn't right, it's better to miss out once than to force your way in.
**Level 4: Essential Risk Management for Beginners**
If your judgment of market cap space and emotional cycles isn't mature enough, remember this iron law: double your investment only after recovering your principal. Use profits from subsequent plays to gamble; this is key for beginners to survive.
**In summary**
Playing this game isn't about who has the biggest guts, but about who truly understands the narrative, can see the market clearly, and can stick to discipline. Master these three, and your chances of survival will be much higher.
