Best Practices & Tips

Keep these in mind to get the most out of Cobi’s /sniff and /cobi commands:

Always use a contract address (e.g. 0x…) when possible. Symbols can be ambiguous.
Check Top 10 Holders first — anything above 50 % total could be a red flag.
Mind the Taxes: buy/sell fees > 5 % can trap funds.
Interpret Risk Flags in context: one “❌” may not kill a project, but several together are a bad sign.
Combine with on‑chain explorers (Etherscan/BaseScan/Solscan) for deeper dives: view contract code, token transfers, liquidity pools.

Cool, casual support: ask Cobi for definitions, quick tutorials, chart tips, Base‑chain lore, etc.
Keep it concise: short questions get faster, clearer answers.
Respect the cooldown (5 s) — avoid flooding.
Text with ["what", "who", "when", "where", "how", "why"] will activate Cobi's 'Smart' mode and he will try and reply with the most up to date information he has to date using Google's Gemini API.

Price vs. Market Cap: a low price doesn’t always mean “cheap.” Market Cap = price × circulating supply.
Liquidity tells you how easy it is to buy/sell without slippage. More is better.
FDV (Fully Diluted Valuation): theoretical market cap if all tokens minted — watch for huge gaps vs. current MC.

Never chase “hot” memecoins— let others test the waters first.
Verify owner renouncement and contract audit status before big buys.
Beware zero‑tax “honeypots”; a token that blocks sales will look risk‑flagged.
Don’t ignore small warning signs (e.g. “Can Mint” or “Proxy Contract”) — they can cascade into bigger issues.

Use groups & watchlists: add Cobi to your TG group and pin /sniff usage.
Automate alerts: schedule periodic /sniff on new launches or top picks.
Document findings: screenshot or copy your /sniff output into a journal for later reference.

🎯 Remember: tools like Cobi help speed your research, but always DYOR and cross‑check before committing real funds!
