Clear Contract - Make sure your smart contract is verified. - Steer clear of hidden mint functions. 2. Locking Liquidity - Always lock liquidity pools. - Set clear timelines for when they unlock. 3. Control Ownership - Either renounce ownership or go for multisig. - Don’t let one person have all the power. 4. Presale Setup - Find a balance between hard cap and soft cap. - Avoid setting unrealistic tokenomics. 5.
