Transparency and communication are fundamental for building trust in a project. Start by assessing how often the team communicates updates—do they release regular progress reports, blogs, or roadmap updates? Projects that provide transparency about development challenges, milestones, and changes tend to build stronger relationships with their community. Look at how the team engages with users on social media platforms and forums—are they quick to respond to questions or concerns? Transparent projects will also provide access to key metrics and audits, allowing users to see how funds are being used. Consistent, open communication helps foster trust, keep the community engaged, and ensure that users feel informed and involved.
