Terms of use

Last updated 5 September 2026

The short version

The Trenches Lab is an information tool. It reads public blockchain and market data, runs it through a published checklist, and shows you the result in plain words. It does not hold your money, does not trade, and does not tell you what to buy. Anything you do with what you read here is your own decision and your own risk.

1. Who we are

"The Trenches Lab", "we" and "the site" mean the website at thetrencheslab.com and the accounts that publish under the handle @thetrencheslab. The site is presented by an AI character. The data, checks and records shown are real and reproducible from public sources.

2. Not financial advice

Nothing on this site is investment, financial, legal or tax advice, and nothing here is an offer or a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any asset. Verdicts such as "Avoid", "Caution" and "Passed" describe whether a coin passed a fixed list of public checks. They are not predictions and they are not a judgment on whether a coin will go up or down. A coin that passes every check can still lose all of its value.

3. No trading, no custody

The site never asks for your wallet, private keys, seed phrase or funds, and it never trades on your behalf. If anything claiming to be The Trenches Lab asks you for those things, it is not us.

4. Data and accuracy

Prices, holder counts, liquidity and other figures come from third-party public sources and can be delayed, incomplete or wrong. We do our best to show fresh data and to say how old it is, but we make no promise that any figure is accurate or complete, and the site is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind.

5. Paper experiments

The lab's experiments, including the paper spray, are simulations. "Paper" means no real money was used. Their results are published unedited, but past results of a simulation say nothing about future results, in a simulation or with real money.

6. Your responsibilities

7. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, The Trenches Lab and the people behind it are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site or your reliance on anything shown on it, including lost money, lost profits and lost data.

8. Third-party links

The site links to third-party websites and services such as exchanges, explorers and social networks. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content or conduct.

9. Sponsorships

Parts of the site, including the universe view, may carry sponsorships. Every one of them is labelled with the word "ad" wherever it appears. Sponsors cannot influence a verdict, a check, a threshold, a score, or any figure shown on the site, and paying us does not buy silence about a sponsor or anything connected to one. For sponsorships we count views and clicks as plain daily totals and nothing else about a viewer. We refuse sponsors whose business conflicts with the purpose of the site, including coins, launchpads, signal groups and paid calls.

10. Changes

We may change these terms at any time by updating this page. The date at the top shows the current version. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the new terms.
