Looking at Nervos $CKB – How Do You Research New Crypto Projects Without Burning Hours?

I’ve been researching Nervos $CKB, and honestly one of the hardest parts is the time spent. CoinMarketCap is fine for the basics — market caps, charts, token details — but once you’re looking for promising small caps, the process gets ridiculous. You check trading volume, read the whitepaper (if there even is one), hop over to Twitter, lurk in Telegram, peek at GitHub… and by the time you’re done with one project, you’ve sunk 2+ hours. Multiply that across a handful of tokens and your night is gone.

Meanwhile, the market moves without you. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched a project start pumping while I’m still buried in tabs, double-checking tokenomics or second-guessing the community hype. I’ve missed solid entries on legit plays because the research bottleneck is so real.

That’s why I wanted to throw this question out there: How are you all streamlining your research these days? I’m not asking for “secret alpha calls” — I’m talking about tools, processes, or even habits that help you filter through the noise faster.

• Do you use any dashboards, data aggregators, or alert tools beyond CMC?
• How do you separate real community traction from bots/fake hype?
• Are there strategies you use to avoid analysis paralysis and just pull the trigger?
• Any paid tools that actually feel worth it, or is it all about building your own system?

Not looking for magic shortcuts — just curious how the community tackles the same time sink I’m running into. Figured if we swap experiences, it could save some people from the same late-night rabbit holes (and maybe missed entries) I’ve been stuck in.
