crypto narrative reality check

The problem

Crypto markets often trade on hype and social sentiment rather than technical or economic utility. Developers and investors struggle to distinguish between a sustainable growth narrative and a momentum-driven bubble before committing capital or building on a protocol.

What it does

• Evaluates narrative momentum against on-chain metrics like active addresses, TVL, and fee generation.
• Maps imminent and speculative catalysts, categorizing them by impact and time horizon.
• Analyzes tokenomics to identify extractive vs. incentive-aligned supply schedules and utility.
• Defines specific invalidation factors and quantitative thresholds that break the investment thesis.
• Generates a Reality Check Score to rank projects based on fundamental-narrative alignment.

Why this beats prompting it yourself

General LLMs often repeat popular sentiment or outdated news found in their training data. This skill enforces a systematic audit that demands verifiable evidence for every claim, preventing the AI from hallucinating bullish bias and forcing a focus on liquidity risks and supply overhangs.

Use cases

• Perform due diligence on a trending DeFi protocol before integrating its smart contracts.
• Compare competing L1/L2 ecosystems based on developer activity and actual usage.
• Identify early warning signs of narrative exhaustion by monitoring invalidation triggers.
• Audit token distribution and vesting cliffs for upcoming project launches.

Known limitations

Analysis depends on the availability of public on-chain data and official documentation. Private seed round details or non-public regulatory investigations cannot be surfaced.
