I wrote an article on Medium of a project that i really like named Croc with Knife on the Cronos chain. When looking for a startup that is only hours or days old. You have to literally search in a den of thieves that are looking for a few dollars to exit. Most of these thieves create a plethora of tokens, and every single one of them gets rugged.
In that den of startups, you can actually find super projects if you look for certain essentials that should be very obvious. One is that the LP is burned or locked forever. Scammers do not lock LP for very long because, at some point, they are planning on rugging.
The other essential is that contract ownership is renounced. When the contract is renounced, the dev nor team have any control of the contract, meaning that they can't make changes in their favor.
Below is my medium article on Croc with Knife, which is a 10 day old 12K Market Cap project that has both essentials needed to be a very successful project in this market. It is unruggable (LP has been burned). And it is Community Based (Contract Ownership has been Renounced).
