Crypto Module Overview

The Crypto Intelligence module provides institutional-grade risk assessment for Web3 projects using a multi-source Trust Score algorithm.

🎯 What It Does

We answer the key question for Web3 investors: "Is this project real? Do they have money to survive? Are they actually shipping code?"

Capability	Description
Trust Score	0-100 rating based on 6 pillars
Real-time Data	5+ APIs aggregated (CoinGecko, GitHub, DefiLlama, Dropstab, ICODrops)
Blue-chip Detection	Smart scoring for mature protocols
Risk Assessment	LOW / MEDIUM / HIGH / CRITICAL ratings
