You’re not a serious researcher if your main tools are Dexscreener and Coingecko!
That’s why you’ve been catching strays when others are banking profits.
DeFi has evolved. Things are faster and more competitive now. If you want to be or remain profitable, your research toolkit also has to evolve.
Here are the research tools you should be using right now👇🏽

> How To Use These Tools
Most of these tools are easy to use everyday so you shouldn’t have any issues integrating them into your workflow.
For the TG bots, create a group on Telegram and yourself and all the tools to it. This will ensure that you have easy access to everything in one place.
I recommend spending your weekends diving into the research articles and newsletter recommendations.
If you plan on shorting token unlocks, it only makes sense to research with the unlock tools over the weekend and plan yourself ahead.
I hope this helps.
