Beyond the Bear Market: A Comprehensive Overview of Upcoming Popular Public Chain Ecosystem Projects Ready for TGE

Last night, Berachain was listed on a major trading platform, with the price briefly exceeding $15. Bulls and bears fiercely fought, and in less than 24 hours, the trading volume surpassed $2.2 billion. However, the price has since retraced 50% from its peak, leaving many lamenting that this was once again a whale's feast.

According to Kaito's Mindshare ranking, today's top-ranked crypto projects include MegaETH, Monad, Story, Abstract, and others. These well-known projects have not yet had their Token Generation Event (TGE). BlockBeats has compiled a list of hot projects in their ecosystems for readers' reference.

MegaETH

MegaETH has just announced the launch of a new NFT series, The Fluffle, with a total supply of 10,000. The whitelist price is set at 1 ETH, and holders are entitled to 5% of future token distributions. However, the community criticized the high pricing as an early liquidity grab, and the fact that it has not yet launched on the testnet has raised doubts about its ability to deliver. Nevertheless, the ecosystem projects have received increasing attention from the community recently. Below are some of the popular projects in the MegaETH ecosystem.

GTE

Global Token Exchange (GTE) is the flagship exchange platform in the MegaETH ecosystem. On January 17, GTE announced that it had raised $10 million in three rounds of funding. This includes $1.5 million in pre-seed funding, $6.942 million in seed funding, and $2.5 million in community funding, the latter of which was conducted on the platform Echo founded by crypto trader Jordan Fish (aka Cobie).

Through features like asset aggregation, spot, and leverage trading, GTE enables users to trade at the best prices. The platform also offers a fair Launchpad and Takeoff service for token issuance, ensuring that users always have control of their funds, enjoy centralized exchange-like speed and liquidity, while maintaining decentralized security and transparency.

CAP Labs

CAP is a stablecoin engine that provides on-chain yield through external revenue sources such as arbitrage, MEV, and RWAs. Unlike traditional endogenous model-based designs, CAP offers a flexible yield strategy where users only need to choose the stablecoin denomination they wish to hold, behind which a continuously accruing yield is dynamically managed. CAP's stablecoins are redeemable on demand and fully decentralized, ensuring users retain control of their assets while avoiding the high risks and opacities of traditional finance. According to MegaETH team member Jin, CAP has completed a $1.9 million pre-seed funding round.

Euphoria

Euphoria is a derivatives trading platform that aims to redesign the derivatives trading experience, transforming the traditional complex and serious trading process into a casual, social, and fun interactive form. Through its mobile-first Tap Trading platform, Euphoria enables users to engage with the market in a more intuitive, gamified manner without worrying about complex technical details.

Founders Nathan and Casey have deep-rooted backgrounds in the crypto industry. Nathan previously founded LocalCoinSwap and gained extensive trading and product development experience in the crypto space, later founding DeFi Cartel and ultimately launching Euphoria. Casey, an educator and business development expert in the crypto industry, dedicated himself fully to DeFi upon discovery and exited his crypto education company in 2024.

Noise

Noise is an innovative project within the MegaETH ecosystem, striving to establish a new trading paradigm in the crypto market called "Mindshare" trading. The platform separates the implicit influence factors of "Mindshare" from traditional market analysis into a tradable asset class. Users can trade not only the tokens themselves but also the market's attention on a particular token or sector.

This mechanism provides a new dimension of analysis for the market, allowing traders to trade based on market sentiment fluctuations and changes in attention, thereby creating new investment strategies. Through this innovation, Noise may alter the traditional market price discovery mechanism, shifting trading focus from solely around asset prices to expanding into a game of "market psyche," bringing a more efficient and transparent pricing system to the market.

Monad

On February 4th, the parallel EVM network Monad hinted that the testnet will launch sometime within this month. Below are some of the current popular projects in its ecosystem.

aPriori

aPriori is a MEV-driven native liquidity staking platform in the Monad ecosystem aimed at optimizing Monad's network performance and user experience through the development of a new MEV and liquidity staking architecture. The total funding for aPriori currently stands at $10.7 million, with team members from high-frequency trading backgrounds having experience in top companies like Jump Crypto, Flow Traders, and Coinbase.

aPriori has proposed a new MEVA design paradigm: probabilistic valuation. This approach utilizes partial block auctions, allowing builders to construct the top of a block from the bundles submitted by searchers, while validators attach the remaining transactions from the public mempool. This method significantly reduces latency, aligning closely with Monad's performance.

Kuru

Kuru is a fully on-chain order book platform that completed a $2 million seed round funding in July last year with support from the Monad blockchain. Kuru has achieved high throughput and low transaction costs, enabling market makers to frequently update quotes without the burden of high fees and slow block times, offering better prices and lower slippage. Kuru's design optimizes the EVM environment, allowing users to create and cancel limit orders at a lower fixed gas cost, thus enhancing market liquidity and spread.

Kintsu

Kintsu is Monad's native liquidity staking protocol, aiming to address the liquidity issue in traditional PoS staking, providing users with a more flexible and valuable staking method, allowing users to securely lock their funds while fully utilizing their assets. It completed a $4 million seed funding round in July last year.

NFT Series

The Monad ecosystem places great emphasis on NFT culture. The following are some of the community's favorite NFT series:

Lil Chogstar

Monadverse

Story

On February 4th, Story released its whitepaper titled The Story, with the mainnet launch imminent. It also kicked off a new round of incentives on Binance, showcasing popular projects in the Story ecosystem.

PiperX

PiperX is the native DEX of the Story ecosystem.

Spotlight Protocol

Spotlight is a platform that combines AI, Crypto, and meme culture, aiming to transform "stories" into an economy. Through Story, Spotlight makes intellectual property (IP) a tradable, stakable, and self-protecting asset, addressing core issues faced by traditional meme coins, such as a lack of branding and creator benefits.

As a decentralized IP validation and liquidity layer, Spotlight not only provides a new economic incentive system for IP creators, Token creators, and the community but also builds a unique IP governance mechanism through market trust weighting. In this way, Spotlight truly transforms Meme culture into a valuable economic engine, driving the comprehensive development of IP on the blockchain.

Benjamin

Benjamin is the first AI Agent in the Story ecosystem dedicated to DeFAI, supported by Story's IP management and lending market, Unleash Protocol.

Abstract
