How I Dodged Rugs and Learned to Trade Onchain Like a pro.

Onchain trading has opened up a whole new world in crypto, fast moving markets, new tokens launching daily, and sometimes wild gains. But with that freedom comes a lot of noise and risk, especially for those new to it. I’ve made my fair share of mistakes trying to chase the next 10x gem, and I want to share a bit of what I’ve learned to help others avoid the same traps.

One of my early mistakes was jumping into tokens just because they were trending. No research, no contract checks, just pure FOMO. That’s how I ended up with rugs and tokens I couldn’t sell. Since then, I’ve been more careful. Now, before I trade any new token, especially meme coins, i go through a basic safety routine.

I check for verified contracts, review the tokenomics, and make sure there’s enough liquidity to enter and exit. For tokens like $FARTLESS, I limit my exposure, and avoid using all my capital in one go. It’s easy to get caught up in the hype, but the goal is to stay in the game long enough to actually win.
There’s also a lot of activity right now because Bitget’s Onchain Trading Competition 29 is ongoing, which naturally brings more attention to these tokens. So it’s even more important to be cautious, not every pump is real, and not every dip is an opportunity.
If you’re diving into onchain trades, treat every move with care. It’s not just about chasing the next big one, it’s about surviving the cycles and learning along the way.
