According to past experience, a complete bull market will inevitably involve the outbreak of public chains such as ETH. Now is a good time to make a layout. Before the next bull market comes, you should learn about the top 5 public chains and their ecosystems in market value in addition to BTC in advance, so as to gain something in the bull market.

Ethereum

Currently, Ethereum is still firmly in the top spot in the public chain track and is one of the projects that investors and practitioners pay the most attention to. Countless projects emerge every day to build the Ethereum ecosystem. This section will list the currently active projects:

Sandbox

The Sandbox is a virtual world where players can build, own, and monetize their gaming experiences on the Ethereum blockchain. The Sandbox is best known for its two hit mobile games, The Sandbox (2011) and The Sandbox Evolution (2016), which have a combined 40 million downloads across iOS and Android. In 2018, developer/publisher Pixowl decided to bring this successful user-generated content gaming IP and large community of creators from mobile to the blockchain ecosystem.

Current market value $1101M.

WorldCoin

Worldcoin is a crypto project created by OpenAI founder Sam Altman. Since most people in the world cannot verify their identities digitally, Worldcoin's vision is to build the world's largest and fair digital identity and currency system to help everyone enter the global financial system.

Current market value $337M.

Arkham

Arkham is a crypto intelligence platform that aims to draw valuable conclusions and insights through analysis and on-chain transaction data. The platform uses AI algorithms to connect on-chain addresses with real-world entities to provide users with a complete behavioral picture. It will be launched on Binance's Launchpad in July 2023.

Current market value $92M.

BSC

IoTex

IoTeX is an EVM-compatible Layer1 blockchain that focuses on providing secure interactions between humans and machines, and aims to support the Internet of Trusted Things. By creating a trusted IoT platform, IoTeX powers a decentralized network of dapps (Cyclone, Mimo), smart devices (UCam, Pebble), services (ioay, ioTube), and digital assets, providing better value to end users.

Current market value $460M.

Sleek

Sleek was launched in April 2023. It is a platform that uses Web3 technology to facilitate people to build connections in diverse social occasions. In mid-November 2023, Sleek completed a $5 million seed round of financing, with Binance Labs and others participating. Its co-founder Chase Guo was formerly the investment director of Binance Labs.

No coins have been issued yet.

UXLINK

UXLINK is a groundbreaking Web3 social system designed for mass adoption, allowing users to build social assets and trade cryptocurrencies. It consists of a series of highly modular Dapps, from onboarding to graph formation, group tools to socialized trading, all seamlessly integrated in Telegram.

According to CoinTelegraph, the founding team has received support from top investors such as Sequoia Capital and ZhenFund. Recently, it has been active in the project and strived to expand its influence in the market. It has worked closely with TaskOn, a Web3 task cooperation platform, to jointly launch marketing activities. Since its launch in April, UXLINK has more than 1 million registered users.

Solana

Helium

Helium is a decentralized wireless hotspot network that provides public, long-range wireless coverage for LoRaWAN-enabled IoT devices. Hotspots are generated and compensated through the Helium blockchain's native cryptocurrency, HNT. Today, the Helium blockchain and its hundreds of thousands of hotspots provide access to the LoRaWAN network.

Just in the past December, the explosion of Solana ecology is inseparable from Helium. Helium's token Mobile soared 25 times in half a month, directly bringing fire to the DePIN track. I believe that in the coming bull market, Helium can still show amazing potential.

Current market value: $273M.

SolMash

Solmash is a LaunchPad platform built on the Solana ecosystem, which aims to connect BRC-20 and Solana ecosystem projects. A few days ago, Solmash announced the first LaunchPad project, SMASH, and holders of SoBit tokens SOBB will have the opportunity to directly enter the SMASH Launch whitelist.

Wormhole

Wormhole is a decentralized universal messaging protocol that enables developers and users of cross-chain applications to leverage the strengths of multiple ecosystems.

In 2022, Wormhole suffered a hacker attack, resulting in losses of US$326 million. However, in February 2023, with the cooperation of other teams, it successfully recovered the stolen funds, and in November, it completed a financing of US$225 million, led by Coinbase ventures.

Cardano

Compared with other top-ranked public chain ecosystems, Cardano's ecosystem has developed slowly. As of now, the number of Dapps has not exceeded 100, so we will not recommend the project here.

Avalanche

SHRAPNEL

SHRAPNEL is a AAA FPS game where skill-based competition, creative modeling tools, and true digital ownership are all powered by blockchain technology. As a competitive multiplayer first-person shooter, SHRAPNEL comes bundled with a rich set of player creation tools that combine combat, creation, management, and connection into a community where players own the platform and decide its future.

Founder Mark Long is a veteran in the gaming industry with 27 years of experience. He has produced 32 games on various platforms from SEGA Genesis to Oculus Rift.

SHRAPNEL completed a $20 million financing in October 2023 and its current market value is $68M.

Supra combines real-world data with public and private blockchains to create interoperable smart contracts to protect future financial markets. It also provides developers with a range of tools for creating, deploying, and maintaining faster, more agile, and more resilient data applications.
