How to use GitHub, Discord, and X to find hidden crypto gems early

Hype moves fast, but real crypto innovation is quieter. Use GitHub, Discord and X to spot legitimate projects before they moon or rug.
Real crypto projects show consistent GitHub activity, open development and active contributors, not abandoned repos or marketing fluff.
Discord can reveal a project’s true momentum through developer interaction, roadmap updates and community-led feedback.
X offers direct access to protocol founders and devs; follow conversations, not influencers, to catch real signals early.
