I have selected 10 early-stage protocols from the AI-driven social analysis platform Moni, 100% worth your attention:
1. Burve
Category: DeFi Yield Aggregator based on Berachain
Introduction: Maximize Berachain on-chain yields through multi-token swaps, liquidity pool leverage, and de-pegging insurance mechanisms.
Airdrop Potential: Medium to High (project in extremely early stage, few followers, no token issued, classic airdrop model)
Token: Not issued
Highlights: Building ecosystem around liquidity provider optimization + risk management tools (insurance, leverage). Expected to launch liquidity mining phase subsequently.
2. Multipli.fi
Classification: DeFi Yield Aggregation
Introduction: Democratize yields for native assets, stablecoins, and real-world tokenized assets
Airdrop Potential: High (ORB rewards obtainable in both testnet and mainnet stages; token issuance confirmed)
Token: Not yet issued
Highlights: ORB (on-chain reward bonds) can be obtained through testnet and mainnet staking, to be exchanged during TGE
3. ambient.xyz
Classification: Web3 + AI Infrastructure
Introduction: A Proof of Work (PoW) blockchain that transforms AI model training into secure, rewardable on-chain activities
Airdrop Potential: No official airdrop plan announced
Token: Not yet issued
Highlights: Currently no point mining or airdrop mechanism. Supported by investments from a16z, Delphi Ventures, and Amber Group.
4. Cline
Category: AI Developer Tools, Autonomous Programming Agent
Introduction: An open-source AI programming agent supporting collaborative writing, debugging, and full-stack code delivery
Airdrop Potential: Low (no token model, focused on SaaS and open-source direction, no reward mechanism announced)
Token: None (no plans or indications of issuing native tokens)
Highlights: Over 1.3 million installations, community fans exceeding 31,000, active developer ecosystem; high GitHub popularity (over 40,000 stars), positioned more towards open-source infrastructure than on-chain protocols
5. Optimex
Classification: BTCFi
Introduction: Non-custodial DeFi protocol layer for native Bitcoin, supporting flash exchanges, lending, and margin trading
Airdrop Potential: Medium (no official plan, but early application users and alpha testers might be eligible)
Token: Not yet launched (no public information about TGE or token economic model)
Highlights: No point system, no token. Project team might be constructing retrospective reward mechanism (future rewards based on early contributions)
6. Converge
Category: Institutional DeFi Protocol, Asset Tokenization Settlement Layer
Introduction: EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain integrating traditional finance and decentralized finance, achieving compliant asset tokenization and stablecoin settlement
Airdrop Expectation: Low (no airdrop announced; focusing on institutional adoption and compliance)
Token: No native token; using USDe and $ENA for settlement
Highlights: Supported by Ethena and Securitize. Design considers both institutional and permissionless application scenarios. Early partners include AAVE, Pendle, Morpho, and Maple Finance.
7. Hubble Protocol
Category: DeFi, Yield Strategy Fork
Introduction: Evolution of Tomb Finance, reimagined on Sonic, aiming to optimize DeFi yield strategies.
Airdrop Potential: Medium (early stage with unconfirmed token, but user guidance mechanism hints at potential future incentives)
Token: Not yet launched
Highlights: Project claims origin from Tomb Finance, possibly constructing elastic supply or algorithmic yield structure.
8. Monadic DNA
Classification: Decentralized Science, Privacy-Preserving Genomics
Introduction: Obtain health and lifestyle insights from DNA without surrendering data control
Airdrop Potential: Medium (waitlist soon to open, good early development momentum, no token announced but might adopt typical DeSci incentive model)
Token: Not yet launched (token or governance mechanism unconfirmed)
Highlights: Positioned as an alternative to 23andMe's user ownership, winner of ETHGlobal 2024
9. Splenium
Classification: Decentralized Artificial Intelligence (DeAI)
Introduction: A chat-interface AI co-pilot tool supporting real-time Non-Fungible Token trading, asset management, and market tracking across EVM chains
Airdrop Potential: Medium (13,000 user scale, early growth stage, high interaction frequency suggests potential future reward mechanism)
Token: Not yet issued (token plan unconfirmed)
Highlights: Potential to develop into personal DeFi application layer or integrate into existing wallet ecosystem, needs to build long-term growth flywheel through token economics or protocol layer
10. Metadrip
• Category: AI Agent, DeFi User Experience Layer
• Introduction: One-stop platform for cryptocurrency trading, staking, tracking, and token issuance through conversational AI assistant
• Airdrop Potential: High (staking mechanism, DAO governance, and DRIP token design suggest future rewards or early user incentives)
• Token: Planned (DRIP token will be used for voting governance)
• Highlights: Focusing on retail users, creating an "All-in-One" DeFi assistant experience, interface integrating multiple Web3 functions
Time always rewards those who rise early.
This list is not a prophecy, but a snapshot. Please use your discretion and utilize it wisely.
Not every early-stage project will become a breakthrough, but every breakthrough follows the same growth trajectory.
