1) What does Fortuna do?
Fortuna provides data-driven token validation for presales and related token pages. It aggregates public signals and presents structured score, risk and context indicators.
FAQs
Frequently asked questions about Fortuna, presales, tokenomics, liquidity pools and core crypto risk metrics.
Platform and Product
2) Is Fortuna a trading platform?
No. Fortuna does not execute trades and does not custody funds. It is an informational validation platform.
3) Does Fortuna provide investment advice?
No. Fortuna does not provide financial, legal, tax, or investment advice. You should perform independent research before acting.
4) How often is token data refreshed?
Refresh frequency depends on data source and pipeline timing. Some indicators update frequently, while others depend on source availability and chain activity.
5) Why can a token score change after I first viewed it?
Scores can change when contract state, liquidity, ownership, distribution, sale status, or social signals change.
6) What should I check first on a token page?
Start with status, Trust Score, and Risk Tags. Then review contract checks, presale details, liquidity context, and distribution data.
7) Can I rely on one metric alone?
No. Use multiple signals together. A single metric can be misleading without technical and market context.
8) Why is a token listed if it has high risk tags?
Listing does not imply endorsement. Fortuna lists tokens for transparency and analysis, including those with elevated risk indicators.
9) How do I report incorrect data?
Contact support with the token name, chain, contract address and a clear description of the issue so it can be reviewed.
10) Which users is Fortuna designed for?
Fortuna is useful for explorers, researchers, communities, and builders who need a structured way to review presale token risk.
Presales and Tokenomics
11) What is a crypto presale?
A presale is an early token sale phase before broader market availability, usually with defined caps, timelines and participation rules.
12) What is the difference between soft cap and hard cap?
Soft cap is the minimum intended raise; hard cap is the maximum. Both affect sale structure and risk expectations.
13) Why do vesting schedules matter?
Vesting controls when tokens unlock. Poor vesting design can create sell pressure and short-term volatility.
14) What does holder concentration tell me?
High concentration means fewer wallets control more supply, which can increase manipulation, governance and dump risk.
15) What is token inflation risk?
Inflation risk is the possibility that increasing supply reduces price support or changes token economics over time.
16) What is FDV and why is it important?
FDV (Fully Diluted Valuation) estimates valuation using total supply. A very high FDV versus circulating value can indicate future dilution pressure.
17) What does circulating supply mean?
It is the amount of tokens currently available in the market, excluding locked or unreleased allocations.
18) Can token burns reduce risk?
Burns can affect supply dynamics, but they do not automatically make a token safe. Contract controls and ownership still matter.
19) What are allocation red flags in tokenomics?
Very large team allocations, unclear treasury rules, and short vesting cliffs are common warning patterns.
20) Why compare tokenomics with contract permissions?
Because tokenomics claims can conflict with contract reality. Permissions may allow behaviour not reflected in public narratives.
Liquidity and Market Metrics
21) What is a liquidity pool (LP)?
A liquidity pool is a smart-contract pool of paired assets used for decentralised trading and market making.
22) What is liquidity lock and why does it matter?
Liquidity lock restricts LP token movement for a set period. It can reduce immediate liquidity-removal risk, though it is not a full safety guarantee.
23) What is slippage?
Slippage is the difference between expected and executed trade price. It is often higher in low-liquidity or highly volatile pools.
24) What does market capitalisation represent?
Market capitalisation is token price multiplied by circulating supply. It gives a broad size estimate, not intrinsic value.
25) What is TVL?
TVL (Total Value Locked) is the value of assets locked in a protocol or contract ecosystem and is often used as a participation signal.
26) Can high liquidity still be risky?
Yes. Liquidity depth alone is insufficient; ownership permissions, mint controls and concentration risk can still be severe.
27) Why does volume not always indicate legitimacy?
Volume can be inflated by speculative cycles or artificial activity. It should be interpreted alongside contract and distribution checks.
28) What is price impact?
Price impact is the expected movement caused by your own trade size relative to available liquidity.
Security and Risk Concepts
29) What is a rug pull?
A rug pull is an abusive exit pattern where operators remove value or control in ways that leave participants exposed.
30) What does renounced ownership mean?
It generally means direct owner privileges were relinquished, but interpretation depends on full contract architecture and any alternate control paths.
31) Why is contract verification important?
Verification allows independent review of source code against deployed bytecode, improving transparency and auditability.
32) Is social hype a reliable safety indicator?
No. Strong social activity can coexist with weak technical safeguards. Treat hype as context, not proof.
33) What is the safest way to use Fortuna outputs?
Use Fortuna for structured screening, then verify key points independently across official project sources, blockchain explorers and trusted technical references.
34) What if signals conflict with each other?
Prioritise hard-risk indicators first (ownership, mint/admin controls, verification, liquidity structure), then evaluate softer social and narrative signals.
