Honestly, with the number of scam projects flooding the market, it was hard for the community to trust new projects because most of the assumptions based on their experience as well, are mostly scams. If you think OP that your project will easily get the trust of the community, that is uncertain unless your team and the project have the following things;
- use case
- transparency
- consistency
But just like others said, trust builds gradually but also it fails when the community never sees any potential in the project.
Be patient, as long as your intention is good and will help the crypto community grow, the time will come.
It's a pity that genuine new projects can get affected by this. But it's best to not judge a new project easily and before we do that, make sure first to make a research. There are still old projects that are not performing well and can remain like this, despite being legit. So, we should not be bias and blame only one side of the coin.
Even if all the positive criteria are met up, it is indeed that trust won't still be attained easily because how many times we witnessed a project that start really well and turned bad later on? Some don't have the intention to scam at the beginning but money changes everything or everyone as they say.
