As a hair-pulling party, if you want to have a good year, the focus in the second half of the year should lean towards the TON ecosystem and the BTC ecosystem, especially the BTC ecosystem, which is a pure land with no major projects emerging yet, so there are many more opportunities.
Today we share another project in the BTC ecosystem: Side Protocol, which has currently received $1.5 million in seed round financing from Hashkey, Coinbase Capital, and other companies. The core of the project is the sidechain, which is a Bitcoin sidechain guaranteed by BTC, serving as a settlement layer aggregated within a modular stack.
Many people participated in the first phase of Side Protocol, but less than 200,000 in the second phase; niche markets are opportunities.

Side Protocol can be treated as a long-term project to brush. Airdrops on the testnet usually don’t yield much, with the main gains on the mainnet. However, if you just want to earn without investment, during the testnet phase, you should open multiple accounts, nurturing 20–50 high-quality accounts, as wallets in the BTC ecosystem are worth nurturing.
