Crypto Deep Diligence

Diligence that reads the whitepaper, the repo, and the contract.

Generic tools give you a price feed. Finode does actual fundamental work: it parses whitepapers, pulls GitHub health, and analyzes verified smart-contract source code to extract real supply, emission, and security parameters.

What it reads

The sources behind every signal.

Project whitepapers

Fetched and parsed — claims extracted and checked

GitHub repositories

Commit cadence, contributors, issue health, activity

Block explorers

Verified contract source from Etherscan and equivalents

On-chain parameters

Emission, supply, burn, staking read from the code itself

How it works

A high-level look at the pipeline.

01

Read the whitepaper

The paper is parsed and its key claims — supply, utility, governance — are extracted for verification.

02

Check the code health

GitHub metrics reveal whether the project is actively built or quietly abandoned.

03

Audit the contract

Verified source is analyzed for security risks and admin controls — mint authority, proxy keys, pausability.

04

Extract the real numbers

Emission, supply, burn, and staking parameters come from the contract, then get checked against what the paper promised.

In practice

What this looks like on a real portfolio.

01

A hidden mint authority

A token's supply is described as fixed — but the contract retains an active mint key. Finode catches the mismatch.

02

Paper vs. reality

The whitepaper claims a 2% emission; the code says 2.1% with a 2027 halving. Finode reconciles the two.

03

A dormant project

GitHub shows no meaningful commits in six months despite an active-development narrative — surfaced before you add size.
