• Honeypot – A scam where users can buy a token but cannot sell it.

• Unlocked Liquidity - means that the liquidity pool of a token is not locked in a smart contract, allowing the developers to remove or manipulate it at any time. This is a major risk because if liquidity is pulled, the token becomes untradeable, leading to a complete price collapse (rugpull). Always check if liquidity is locked before investing in a memecoin.

• Rugpull – When developers suddenly remove liquidity, making the token worthless. Example:

  
• CTO (Community Takeover) – When the original team abandons a project, and the community takes over its development and promotion.

• KOL (Key Opinion Leader) – Influencers who drive narratives and market sentiment.

• Liquidity – The amount of available assets in a trading pair to facilitate buying and selling.

• Node – A computer that helps validate transactions on the blockchain. Node maintenance costs thousands of dollars, and rent costs hundreds of dollars per day.

• MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) – The profit that bots or validators extract by prioritizing or reordering transactions.

• Slippage – price difference between order placement and execution, caused by market volatility and liquidity. A higher slippage tolerance ensures transactions go through but may result in worse prices, while a lower tolerance can cause failed trades.
