# Explain a token in plain English I'll give you the name of a token, or paste its description. Explain it like I'm a smart friend who's new to blockchain. ## What I want back **1. What it is, in one sentence.** Not "a decentralized blah." A real sentence. **2. Who controls it.** A foundation? A company? A lot of holders? Nobody? Be specific. **3. What it's for.** Pick one: a currency, a stake in a network, a way to pay for something specific, a speculation, or a meme. Don't pretend something is more useful than it is. **4. Why it might be worth anything.** The actual reason. "Because people will pay for it" is okay if it's the truth. **5. The biggest risk.** Not generic blockchain risk — the specific thing about *this* token that could go to zero. **6. The dumbest mistake a beginner makes with this one.** Custody, taxes, scams, lockups — whatever's most relevant. ## Rules - Don't shill. Don't doom. Just be honest. - If you can't tell whether it's legit, say "I can't tell." - Use round numbers. "Roughly a billion dollars" is more useful than "$1,047,283,221." Tell me which token.
On the house. Run it in Claude or ChatGPT, or install it as agent behavior.
