The FOMOEgg egg in the studio, illustrating: How do I check a CTO token before joining?
Short answer

Look at who controls the contract, liquidity status, holder spread and whether claims match what you see on-chain.

How to check it yourself

  1. Check who controls the contract and any fee or admin roles.
  2. Confirm liquidity status and holder spread on the explorer.
  3. Match every claim the team makes against what you can see on-chain.
