Want to play with Dogecoin but afraid of getting scammed? Here are some practical risk identification tips.

First, check the permission settings. Projects that give full liquidity pool permissions to exchanges at least show a certain level of transparency from the founding team. Conversely, if permissions are vague or even hidden, it's likely a scheme aimed at quick profit and exit.

Second, keep an eye on the ownership structure. Among the top ten holding addresses, the second to tenth addresses together hold over 20%, and in some cases up to 90%. This means the whales hold enough chips to dump the price. In such cases, the risk of the project being wiped out increases significantly.

The last signal is the Alpha leaderboard. If a coin has many holder addresses but never makes it onto the Alpha list, there are often hidden critical issues behind its obscurity.

All three conditions are essential. Missing one means caution; only projects that meet all three may show that the whales are genuinely committed to long-term development.

Hiding permissions is basically a rug signal; they all do this before running away. The position structure can reveal whether the market maker is genuinely building or just cutting losses; data doesn't lie. Coins that can't even make it onto the alpha list? Forget it, I'd rather miss out than touch them.

Direct pass for permission hiding, I've seen too many of these tricks.

Haha, really, I’ve been using this theory for a long time, and I’ve learned the hard way from many pitfalls. If the permissions are unclear, I just run away—that’s just blatant "I want to liquidate you," no need to say more. The most important thing is the position structure. I’ve seen those with ridiculously concentrated top ten holdings, just waiting to be dumped.

It's another lesson in the typical "cutting leeks" scheme, but honestly, these three points are indeed useful. I really don't touch any coins that haven't made it onto the Alpha list—it's a painful lesson.

The permission to hide is a rug pull, that's true. Talking about the position structure again? I've seen it all before... That signal on the Alpha leaderboard is good, I learned from it.

Permission one hidden directly pass, nothing more to say Market makers' chips exceed 90%? Then just wait to be smashed Alpha leaderboard can't even make it? Cold as dead coins, I don't touch them

ngl, the liquidity lock thing is cute but you're fundamentally missing the actual bytecode analysis layer here
