As the cryptocurrency industry experiences a boom by 2025, this article provides 50 project ideas with high potential for developers of different skill levels, aiming to inspire more people to create meaningful products in this industry.
AI Agent Applications
This is an optimized ChatGPT wrapper, designed to mimic the characteristics of real people and support user customization to create any type of agent. With the rise of virtual characters, ai16z, and zerebro technologies, these types of agents are becoming increasingly popular.
Club Penguin Metaverse Game
A recreation of the classic multiplayer online game "Club Penguin", a simple game that many people love, which becomes a beloved platform through simple mini-games, item accumulation, and relationship building.
RuneScape Metaverse Game
Based on the classic multiplayer online game RuneScape, the game revolves around leveling up and acquiring coins (the digital currency that supports its economic system). Although the concept is simple, the execution is nearly impossible.
More Creative Crypto Gambling Methods
Most current crypto casinos only offer traditional casino games, while allowing users to use the casino's native tokens for gameplay. There is room to create entirely new casino games that can only be realized through cryptocurrencies.
Giving NFTs "Life"
The biggest difference between cryptocurrencies and NFTs is the emotional connection based on identity. Although they are considered "real", most are still static. Any technology that can make NFTs more dynamic and realistic has huge potential.
Learn-to-Earn
Disruptively revolutionize the traditional education system by using incentive mechanisms to encourage learning behavior.
___ to Earn
Any daily activity can be incentivized, and while most projects may fail, some successful ones may fundamentally change the world.
Front-end Aggregation Tools
Develop front-end tools based on on-chain liquidity, generating profits by charging users small fees. As more liquidity migrates to the chain, this opportunity will only continue to grow.
Permissionless Launchpad Platforms
2025 will be a breakthrough year for Launchpad platforms, but not in the traditional mode. Some hit applications (like pumpdotfun and virtuals) have made Launchpad platforms permissionless, allowing anyone to use them, thereby transferring value from the "inner circle" to the public, proving their strong potential.
NFT Minting Games
Currently, almost all NFT minting processes are the same, making the process relatively monotonous. In the future, gamifying the NFT minting process can increase user engagement, but the key is to avoid exploitative designs (such as Dutch auctions).
Redeemable NFTs
Redeemable NFTs are a type of NFT that can be minted using a token on the issuing chain and can always be redeemed for that token. This makes the NFT essentially a token function. This concept may have potential, but has not yet been fully proven.
On-chain Reputation Rating Tools
Many teams face the challenge of distributing tokens to the right people. If a method could be developed to score or rank by on-chain address, it would be extremely valuable.
NFT Rarity Trading Platforms
If users could easily exchange a rare NFT for a larger quantity of non-rare NFTs, that would be an innovative feature. Intent declarations can be used to let users express the value they see in rare NFTs, and a matching engine can create a market.
AI Wrapper for Everything
An AI Wrapper can be used for almost anything, just create a front-end interface for any task, and the backend is completed by an AI agent.
Clicker Games
Simple and addictive games that can be launched on a new chain to help boost user numbers for that chain. The brand may be further developed through network effects.
Games with AI Agents
Introducing AI agents into any multiplayer game, so that users can interact with AI from their first experience, forming a rich game ecosystem.
Customizable Pump.fun
Develop a launch platform similar to Pump.fun, but with more customization options. The advantage of Pump.fun is its simplicity and ease of use, limiting customization options to ensure users understand what they are buying. Slightly increasing customization features may attract more users.
Order Book Dependent Applications
The order book is a major breakthrough for high-performance chains, relying on market makers to provide liquidity. Market makers need high TPS (transactions per second) and low fees to effectively provide liquidity. This is one of the main reasons new chains (like Monad) are highly anticipated.
NFT Collections
An NFT collection does not need to have a grand plan from the start, but can gradually evolve over time. The most successful collections often evolve from a simple concept to a complex ecosystem.
Whitelist Trading Platforms
Establish a platform that allows users to trade or monetize their upcoming NFT whitelist spots. In the NFT market recovery of 2025, this platform may become a trend.
Telegram Mini-Games
Through viral spread and appropriate distribution strategies, these types of games can quickly become popular. Existing games (like Flappy Bird) can be replicated and embedded with token systems for experimentation.
Airdrop Distribution Platforms
Design a tool focused on helping projects conduct airdrops. The platform can aggregate on-chain and off-chain (such as social data) information to help teams distribute tokens more efficiently.
On-chain Analytics Tool Rankings
The best resource currently on the market is Artemis' chain comparison feature, but the functionality is still limited. More comprehensive comparison tools can be developed to help users understand the usage and applications of different chains.
On-chain Decentralization Measurement Tools
Although the degree of decentralization of chains is subjective, there are currently only a few resources (such as L2beat) providing this information. A platform that compares L2 and mainstream L1 (such as Solana and Sui) can increase transparency.
