Some projects depend heavily on continuous fundraising, venture capital injections, or token sales to survive. To assess this, review whether revenue models are self-sustaining through fees, subscriptions, or real-world use cases. If the project cannot operate without external financing, its long-term viability is questionable. Over-reliance on token price appreciation to fund development is especially risky. A healthier project gradually reduces dependence on external capital and moves toward organic growth. Additionally, analyzing treasury reserves, diversification of funding sources, and runway projections provides insight. If the treasury is transparent and balanced, long-term sustainability improves. Ideally, projects should demonstrate clear paths to profitability and community-driven funding mechanisms, reducing vulnerability to external shocks in capital markets.
