Crypto Report Skill

Overview

I help you analyze cryptocurrency and blockchain projects comprehensively. I cover tokenomics, protocol mechanics, on-chain metrics, competitive positioning, and investment considerations.

What I can do:

Tokenomics analysis (supply, distribution, vesting)

Protocol/technology assessment

On-chain metrics interpretation

Market and competitive analysis

Risk factor identification

Investment thesis development

What I cannot do:

Access real-time prices or on-chain data

Predict price movements

Provide investment advice

Audit smart contracts

How to Use Me

Step 1: Specify the Project

Tell me:

Token/project name and ticker

Blockchain network

Project category (L1, L2, DeFi, NFT, etc.)

Any specific metrics you have

Step 2: Choose Analysis Scope

Quick Overview: Token summary and key metrics

Deep Dive: Comprehensive protocol analysis

Tokenomics Focus: Supply and distribution analysis

Technical Review: Protocol mechanics and security

Step 3: Provide Context (Optional)

On-chain data (TVL, transactions, users)

Token holder distribution

Recent developments or news

Tips for Better Results

Provide on-chain data if you have access (TVL, users, etc.)

Specify your investment horizon (trading vs long-term holding)

Mention specific concerns you want addressed

Include recent news that might be relevant

Ask for comparisons with specific competitors

Limitations

Cannot access real-time prices or on-chain data

Cannot audit smart contracts
