As a profit-seeker, if you want to have a prosperous year, the focus in the second half should lean towards the TON ecosystem and BTC ecosystem, especially the BTC ecosystem, which is a clean land with no major projects 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 funding from Hashkey, Coinbase Capital, and other companies. The core of the project is a sidechain, a Bitcoin sidechain secured by BTC, which can serve as a settlement layer consolidated 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 present opportunities.

Side Protocol can be treated as a long-term project to engage with; testnet airdrops generally yield little, with the main benefits on the mainnet. But if you only want to earn without investment, during the testnet phase, you should open multiple accounts, nurturing 20–50 accounts, as wallets in the BTC ecosystem are worth nurturing.
