# Understanding Dealbreakers

> Learn which checks always run first and why they matter.

Dealbreakers are conditions that must pass before the rest of your Rules are considered. They are your non-negotiable filters.

If any Dealbreaker fails, MemePerfect stops evaluation and does not send an alert.

## What makes a good Dealbreaker

Use Dealbreakers for conditions that should never be optional, such as:

#### Common use

* Is Honeypot is False
* Sell Tax (%) is less than 25
* Has Minting Authority is False

## When to use them

Start with Dealbreakers when you build a Strategy. They remove obvious bad candidates early and keep the rest of your logic focused on better setups.

<Tip>
  If failing a condition should always disqualify a token, make it a Dealbreaker instead of a normal Rule.
