Are New Solana Tokens Safe?
Risk assessment and safety considerations for new token investments.
# Are New Solana Tokens Safe?
The short answer: **New tokens are inherently risky**, but some safety measures can help.
The Reality of New Tokens
New tokens carry significant risks: - High volatility - Low liquidity (price moves easily) - Potential for scams - Possible project abandonment - Regulatory uncertainty
However...
With proper evaluation, you can identify LOWER-RISK opportunities:
**Lower Risk Indicators:** - Locked liquidity (prevents immediate rug pulls) - Experienced team with history - Active, engaged community - Clear use case and roadmap - Audited contracts
**Higher Risk Indicators:** - Unlocked liquidity - Anonymous team - Dead social media - Unrealistic promises - No clear purpose
Risk Management Strategies
1. **Size Your Positions** - Never risk more than 1-5% of portfolio per token - Assume 90% of positions will fail
2. **Diversify** - Spread across 10+ tokens to increase odds
3. **Take Profits** - Don't get greedy; lock in gains at 2-5x
4. **Set Stop Losses** - Protect against catastrophic losses
5. **Do Your Own Research** - Check team, contract, community independently
