The story originated from the bottom of the last bear market. A friend once established the Zeroing Fund, which dispersed the funds to buy 50 altcoins with small market capitalization. It was expected that with the mentality of returning to zero, small and big gains could be realized. In the end, I bet on AAVE, LINK and other coins with a small probability of increasing by hundreds or thousands of times, and achieved a huge return of dozens of times in the bull market. This successful investment experience is impressive, but it also reminds us that catching a hundred times the coin involves a lot of luck, and it is more suitable to catch it with probability through the fishing net method.
In view of the fact that the Feds interest rate hike cycle is coming to an end and the time for the market to bottom out is almost ripe, we plan to replicate the successful experience of the Zero Fund and have selected nearly 50 potential projects to focus on. The goal is to seize altcoins that can survive a bear market and rise dozens to hundreds of times.
Main screening criteria (several of them met):
Technical aspect: The high point has fallen by more than 90%, and the market value ranks around 100-1000.
Fundamentals: GITHUB is still updating and the community is still operating.
Chip surface: Full change of hands, chip release completed, major market makers present.
Narrative: If you have new concepts, priority will be given to new coin issuance projects during the bear market.
Liquidity: Binance, Coinbase, OKX and other compliant legal currency exchanges.

9. Public chain
Building a public chain is like building a railway. It requires huge initial investment, but collecting fees from users in the later period will bring sustainable income, and the more prosperous the ecology is, the stronger the innovation force will be. This explains the reason for the high valuation of public chains as the core value carrier of Web3.
44.CANTO: Defi public chain on Cosmos, cooperating with Polygon on ZK technology
45.KAS: The top three POW public chains in terms of mining power, using DAG technology
46.CFX: The only compliant public chain in China, cooperating with domestic mainstream APPs, Hong Kong’s concept leader
Web3 likes to speculate on the new rather than the old. There are still many good new projects that have not yet issued coins and will issue coins in the next 1-2 years, so they deserve our long-term attention. The future bull market will be the time when everyones work during the bear market will be rewarded, especially for those who persevere and keep building. I sincerely hope that we will all get a good profit in the new round of bull market.
Pay attention to unissued currency projects:
