20 ChatGPT prompts for coin research, portfolio analysis, DeFi strategies, risk management, tax compliance, and the on-chain thinking that separates informed investors from gamblers.
In short: This page contains 15 copy-paste ready prompts, organized into 4 categories with a description and pro tip for each. The first 5 prompts are free instantly, no signup needed. Hand-curated and tested by the AI Academy team.
Research + Due Diligence
4 promptsToken Deep-Dive Research
1/15✨ What it does
Deep-dives a crypto token with tokenomics, team, traction, and red flags.
Research [token name/ticker]. Include: problem solved + market size, tokenomics (supply, distribution, vesting schedules, inflation), team background + track record, competitors + moat, traction (TVL, users, revenue, partnerships), red flags (rugs, hacks, lawsuits, insider selling). Conclude: bull case, bear case, verdict.
Pro tip: Most tokens = vaporware with decent websites. Tokenomics + real users + revenue filter 95% of garbage. If you can't articulate problem solved in one sentence, skip.
Whitepaper Summary
2/15✨ What it does
Summarizes whitepapers with legitimacy verdict.
Summarize this whitepaper: [paste or link]. Extract: problem statement, proposed solution, technical approach (consensus, scalability, privacy), tokenomics, team, roadmap, risks highlighted by team, realistic vs. hyped claims, verdict on legitimacy.
Pro tip: Whitepapers = marketing documents written to attract money. Treat claims as hypotheses, not facts. Unique tech can still fail at execution.
Competitor Analysis
3/15✨ What it does
Compares crypto projects with scenario analysis.
Compare [Token A] vs [Token B] in [category — L1s, DeFi protocols, oracles, etc]. Include: tech differentiation, TVL/users comparison, moat analysis, tokenomics differences, team/funding, ecosystem growth, price performance 1yr/3yr, winner scenario, sharing scenario, both-lose scenario.
Pro tip: Category winners often take 80%+ of value. Early-stage = multiple can coexist. Mature markets = winner-take-most. Know which stage you're investing in.
Narrative Analysis
4/15✨ What it does
Analyzes crypto narratives with lifecycle and timing.
Analyze crypto narrative: [AI tokens, RWAs, restaking, gaming, etc]. Include: why narrative emerging, top 5 projects in narrative, likely winners vs losers, realistic market size, narrative lifespan (hype, growth, maturity), entry timing risk, exit signals.
Pro tip: Narratives drive 70% of crypto returns. First-movers into narrative (early believers) capture most. Late movers buy tops. Narrative rotation = skill.

Portfolio + Allocation
4 promptsCrypto Portfolio Construction
5/15✨ What it does
Builds crypto portfolio with risk-based allocation.
Build crypto portfolio from scratch. Budget: [amount]. Risk tolerance: [low/mid/high]. Time horizon: [years]. Include: % allocation to BTC/ETH (60-80% for conservative), L1 alts (10-20%), DeFi blue chips (5-15%), smaller caps (0-10% speculative). Rebalancing schedule, max single position size.
Pro tip: Most crypto portfolios fail by overweighting smaller caps. 80% BTC/ETH + 20% selective alts outperforms shotgun approach long-term. Concentration ≠ diversification.
Portfolio Review
6/15✨ What it does
Reviews crypto portfolios for concentration, correlation, and rebalancing.
Review my crypto portfolio. Holdings: [list]. Include: concentration risk analysis, narrative overexposure, correlation issues (many alts move together), missing sectors, hero-stock risks, rebalancing recommendations, tax-optimized selling order.
Pro tip: Crypto correlations spike in bear markets — your 20-coin "diversified" portfolio drops 90% together. True diversification includes stables + uncorrelated non-crypto assets.
DCA (Dollar-Cost Average) Plan
7/15✨ What it does
Builds DCA plans with schedule, execution, and adjustment rules.
Build DCA plan. Monthly budget: [amount]. Duration: [months/years]. Target allocation: [describe]. Include: weekly vs monthly schedule, exchange selection, fee minimization, auto-buy setup, when to increase DCA (50%+ drawdown), stopping triggers, long-term expected outcome.
Pro tip: DCA removes timing anxiety. Weekly small buys beat monthly large buys for dollar-cost efficiency. Consistent DCA beats 90% of active traders over multi-year cycles.
Profit-Taking Strategy
8/15✨ What it does
Builds tiered profit-taking plans with targets and rebalancing.
Build profit-taking strategy. Current holdings: [list with cost basis]. Targets: [goals — house, retirement, lifestyle]. Include: tiered sell orders (20% at 2x, 30% at 5x, etc), rebalancing thresholds, emergency cash need, never-sell core positions, tax considerations.
Pro tip: Most crypto holders never sell until bear market. Tiered selling at targets locks in gains + maintains upside. "I'll sell at top" = you won't. System > willpower.
DeFi + On-Chain
3 promptsDeFi Protocol Evaluation
9/15✨ What it does
Evaluates DeFi protocols for fundamentals and risks.
Evaluate DeFi protocol: [name]. Include: TVL trend, revenue + fees, token utility (vs speculation), smart contract audit history, governance structure, team + team token allocation, risks (exploits, depegs, impermanent loss), realistic APY sustainability.
Pro tip: DeFi APY: high = risky or unsustainable. Sustainable yield = 3-8% on blue chips. 50%+ APY = ponzinomics, rug risk, or temporary. Ask: where does yield come from?
Yield Farming Strategy
10/15✨ What it does
Builds yield farming strategies across risk buckets.
Build yield farming strategy. Capital: [amount]. Risk tolerance: [describe]. Include: stablecoin strategies (lower risk, 3-8%), blue-chip LPs (medium risk, impermanent loss), exotic farms (high risk, token farming), capital allocation per bucket, monitoring requirements, exit signals.
Pro tip: Yield farming = active management, not passive. If not checking daily, stick to set-and-forget stables. Exotic farms require 5+ hours/week monitoring to avoid exploits/rugs.
On-Chain Analytics Interpretation
11/15✨ What it does
Interprets on-chain metrics in market context.
Interpret on-chain data. Metric: [describe — exchange flows, whale movements, active addresses]. Context: [bull/bear/sideways]. Include: what metric signals, historical parallels, contrarian vs confirming signal, action implications, noise vs signal filtering.
Pro tip: On-chain = evidence, not prophecy. Exchange outflows + stable coins + whale accumulation = bullish alignment. Single metric alone = noise. Layered signals = signal.

Risk + Tax + Security
4 promptsCrypto Security Audit
12/15✨ What it does
Audits crypto security with single-point-of-failure analysis.
Audit my crypto security setup. Current: [hardware wallet, hot wallet, exchange holdings, seed storage]. Include: single-point failures, seed phrase security (metal storage, geographic separation), 2FA enhancement, phishing resistance, transaction verification workflow, beneficiary access plan.
Pro tip: Top risks: seed exposure, SIM swap, malicious transaction approval. Hardware wallet + metal seed + no phone 2FA = 99% of retail attacks stopped. Most self-custody done poorly.
Rug Pull / Scam Checker
13/15✨ What it does
Checks projects against rug pull and scam indicators.
Analyze [token/project] for red flags. Check: token contract (mint function, transfer fees, honeypot), liquidity locked?, team doxxed?, code audit?, Twitter account age, Discord activity quality, website copy originality, roadmap realistic?, unrealistic APY promises.
Pro tip: New tokens: 90%+ rug or fail. Red flags: anon teams with unrealistic promises, short token age, insider-heavy distribution, copy-paste whitepapers. Default no; exceptions win.
Crypto Tax Strategy
14/15✨ What it does
Builds crypto tax strategies across cost basis, harvesting, and holding.
Build crypto tax strategy (general — not legal advice). Transactions this year: [summary]. Include: cost basis tracking methods (FIFO vs LIFO vs HIFO), tax-loss harvesting opportunities, long-term vs short-term split, unrealized positions to realize strategically, holding period planning for 2027.
Pro tip: Crypto tax = every swap, every bridge, every LP = taxable event. Track with Koinly/CoinTracker from day 1. Retroactive reconstruction = painful + expensive.
Drawdown Response Plan
15/15✨ What it does
Builds drawdown response plans with emotional and tactical steps.
My portfolio dropped [X%]. Response plan. Include: emotional steps (don't check hourly, no panic selling), rebalancing opportunity analysis, DCA accelerator trigger, tax-loss harvesting, position evaluation (which coins to cut, which to hold), historical context (BTC had X% drawdowns Y times).
Pro tip: Bear market = accumulation phase. BTC history: 80%+ drawdowns every cycle; higher highs each cycle. Panic sellers at bottom = 90% of retail losses. Systematic buyers = generational wealth.
