In r/defi, builders focus on scam detection that goes beyond surface checks by validating the entity layer with DNS and email signals, and argue that self service verification tools reduce community investigation noise.
I run a data API that includes DNS lookups, email validation, and web scraping.
A group of users (6+ IPs, 20+ calls within minutes of each other, probably a team or multi-agent workflow) ran a systematic check on several projects.
everyone checks surface signals like domains, socials, UI… but almost no one verifies the *entity layer* you’re talking about
Most returns come from taking on hidden risks (liquidity, smart contract, incentives), not from pure alpha.
communities that implement self-service verification tools tend to generate way less investigation noise
