A problem people bring · solved
My token went to zero
A dead token can still pay you in lessons, tax records and a sharper eye. Check onchain whether the team still ships and liquidity remains, check old approvals for free on Revoke.cash and revoke them for a little gas, and record the loss for tax. Before the next buy, grade callers by receipts with Fomo Resolved and prefer launches that prove they work, like Coinjure. Skip these: any recovery service asking for an upfront fee.

Chapter 1
Who knew?
You can see whether the team is still active by watching their wallets, not their announcements.
Influencers who pushed the token have a public track record you can grade.
In some countries you must actually sell or dispose of a token to record the loss, so a tiny sale for almost nothing can matter for tax.
Approvals you gave the dead token's site can still be used against you, so revoking them is free insurance.
There is a recovery service that can get the money back.
Checking data is free. Recovery services that ask for fees upfront are almost always scams.

Questions
Can my dead token come back?
Rarely; check on an explorer whether the team still ships and whether liquidity remains before hoping.
Should I buy more to average down?
This page cannot advise you on that, and you should never add money you cannot afford to lose to a crashed token.
Can I claim a tax loss on a dead token?
In many countries yes, but the rules differ on whether you must sell first, so check with a tax adviser.
Are crypto recovery services real?
Treat anyone asking for an upfront fee to recover a dead token or stolen funds as a scammer.
If you could see every wallet that sold before you did, which caller would you never follow again?
Some links are referral links; they never change what we recommend.
