Since the inception of $NOT and its eventual trading on major exchanges, we’ve seen countless projects burst onto the scene, each claiming to be the next Notcoin.

But how many of these so-called next-Notcoin projects have actually lived up to their promises, hype, and expectations?

Well, apart from $DOGS, There has been hardly any. And worse thing is that we are now seeing more wolves in sheep’s clothing take advantage of Notcoin’s success.

They do this by over-promising the community members and ultimately dumping the project on them.

So today, I want to walk you the 6 easy to spot red flags that will help you spot fake scam tap-to-earn projects, so you don’t waste your time on them anymore.

Let’s get it going!

1. Earning in-game millions/billions.

One of the easy way to spot a scam tap-to-earn projects from the very start is how they make it easy for you to earn millions of in-game tokens/earning during the early days.

When you see this, be rest assured that you're dealing with a project that has the potential to turn out to be a scam.

Scam potential 7/10

2. They Ask You to Pay Upfront

One of the most reliable markers of a scam is when a project asks you to pay something upfront. Genuine projects like $NOT and $DOGS never required payment, not for once.

Therefore, if you are asked to invest at any point during or after the mining phase, just know that the odds are stacked against you.

That's because, Only those who pay stand a chance at benefiting—if anyone does at all.

Scam potential: 8.9/10.

3. Suspicious "Season 2" Rollouts

Ever notice how some projects launch a "Season 2" before even listing their token? $Hmstr, $CATS, and X Empire have all pulled this trick, using the guise of a new season to squeeze more money and attention out of their communities.

This tactic is more about profit for the team and less about adding real value for the users.

Scam potential: 9/10.

4. Too Many Daily Tasks

Some projects try to gamify your participation by bombarding you with daily tasks. While it may seem like you’re accumulating value, the reality is you’re simply being milked for your time and effort.

Genuine projects, like $NOT and $DOGS, didn’t rely on excessive tasks to engage users. Compare that to $Hmstr, $Cati, or X Empire, and you’ll see the difference.

Scam potential: 8/10.

5. Excessive Token Supply

If a project has an unusually large token supply, it's likely designed to devalue your earnings. The more tokens that flood the market, the less your hard-earned coins are worth.

Be wary of projects promising limitless tokens—you’ll likely end up with nothing of real value.

Scam potential: 6.5/10.

6. Vesting

Vesting can sound like a legitimate way to lock in your tokens for future use, but it often ends up being a strategy to withhold your rewards indefinitely.

If a project is holding your allocation hostage under the guise of "vesting," be on high alert, because it's a TRAP.

We've seen this in projects such as Pixelverse, HMSTR, and $CAT.

Scam potential: 8/10.

By now, you might be thinking: “What’s left to trust?”

The truth is, not all tap-to-earn projects are scams, but the moment you spot at least three of these above listed RED FLAGS, then RUN!!!

Don’t let scammers waste your precious time and efforts.
