A crypto investor that wants to buy an AI cryptocurrency or any other token should do their due diligence and analyze all aspects of a desired coin inside and out. Here we outlined the most basic yet crucial steps to follow when conducting a project’s analysis:  Study the product. The first thing you want to kick off your research with should be the review of the project’s whitepaper and roadmap. This information will help you grasp the overall concept of a project, its purpose, unique value proposition and viability.  Investigate the team. One of the most important steps in this list is getting to know the team behind the project as well as the background of its members. The bare minimum qualities a team should have include good reputation and experience developing crypto projects or similar products from other industries. It is a common practice for scammers to make up the team by using artificial intelligence, so make sure to google a few key team members to avoid investing into a fraud.  Explore the community. A community is an integral part of any blockchain-based project - its exceptional power is a driving force of a token’s success and overall crypto adoption. A big and active community is a positive sign, indicating a project’s hype and level of interest, that will become a strong foundation for a token’s initial buying power after a token sale event ends and the token is listed on a crypto exchange. Research how real the community is - compare the number of subscribers to reactions, comments, likes etc. Analyze the tokenomics. It is vital to learn the distribution of tokens, what the vesting schedule is, whether there is a coin buyback, what the currency's market capitalization is, and so on. Another sign of a solid tokenomics enterprise is the presence of reliable partners and major (Tier 1 & 2) investors.
