I agree with you mate, many people don't really consider some fundamentals about a project before investing in or maybe they just want to pull early out of the rug pull in order to make insane profits out of the loss of another person. Whatever be the case, many crypto noobs are falling for the traps that are being set in DeFi projects these days. I personally got my feet burnt when I invested into $SUSHI and I did this because it was listed on Binance and this project had a great use case over Uniswap. Well, I learnt my lessons and started doing my own research about projects and some of the things that I look out for is the experience of team members, use case, my time of investing into the project etc.

Having this in mind I happen to come across this project Tagion Project. There is a lot of research going into this project as it has been under development for the past two years. I feel the reason behind this is to learn from the mistakes of all these projects in order to come up with a working solution. Currently, they are under a testnet of their Alpha Network and I think this is a good time to buy into this project as one of the early adopters as it's conducting its private sales at the moment. They have a very interactive community that you can reach out to for more information.
