According to Kaitos Mindshare ranking, the top crypto projects today include MegaETH, Monad, Story, Abstract, etc. The above well-known projects have not yet had TGE. BlockBeats has compiled and summarized the popular projects in their ecosystem for readers reference.
MegaETH
MegaETH has just announced the launch of a new NFT series, The Fluffle, with a total of 10,000 units and a whitelist price of 1 ETH. The rights and interests of holders include a 5% token allocation in the future. However, due to the high price, the community accused it of harvesting liquidity in advance, and the fact that it has not yet been launched on the test network has also caused people to question its delivery capabilities. However, its ecological projects have received more and more attention from the community recently. The following are the popular projects in the MegaETH ecosystem.
GTE
Global Token Exchange (GTE) is the leading trading platform of the MegaETH ecosystem. On January 17, GTE announced that it had raised $10 million in three rounds of financing. This included a $1.5 million pre-seed round of financing, a $6.942 million seed round of financing, and a $2.5 million community round of financing, the latter of which was conducted on Echo, a platform founded by crypto trader Jordan Fish (also known as Cobie).
GTE enables users to trade at the best price by integrating asset creation, spot and leveraged trading. The platform also provides fair Launchpad and Takeoff services for token issuance, while ensuring that users always control their funds and enjoy the speed and liquidity of centralized exchanges while maintaining decentralized security and transparency.
CAP Labs
CAP is a stablecoin engine that provides on-chain income by adopting external income sources such as arbitrage, MEV and RWAs. Unlike traditional designs based on endogenous models, CAP provides a flexible income strategy. Users only need to choose the stablecoin denomination they want to hold, and the dynamic adjustment strategy behind it will continue to generate income. CAPs stablecoins can be redeemed on demand and are fully decentralized, ensuring that users always have control over their assets while avoiding the high risks and opacity in traditional finance. According to Jin , a member of the MegaETH team, CAP has completed a pre-seed round of financing of US$1.9 million.
Euphoria
Euphoria is a derivatives trading platform that is committed to rebuilding the derivatives trading experience, transforming the traditional complex and serious trading process into a relaxed, social and fun interactive form. Through its mobile-first Tap Trading platform, Euphoria allows users to participate in the market in a more intuitive and gamified way without having to worry about complex technical details.
Founders Nathan and Casey have deep backgrounds in the crypto industry. Nathan founded LocalCoinSwap and has extensive trading and product development experience in the crypto space, then founded DeFi Cartel and eventually Euphoria. Casey is an educator and business development expert in the crypto industry. After discovering DeFi, he devoted himself to it and exited his crypto education company in 2024.
Noise
Noise is an innovative project in the MegaETH ecosystem, dedicated to building a new trading paradigm in the crypto market - Mindshare trading. The platform separates Mindshare, an implicit influencing factor in traditional market analysis, and makes it a tradable asset class. Users can not only trade the tokens themselves, but also trade the market attention of a token or track.
This mechanism provides a new analytical dimension for the market, allowing traders to trade based on market sentiment fluctuations and changes in attention, thereby creating new investment strategies. Through this innovation, Noise may change the price discovery mechanism of the traditional market, so that transactions are no longer just centered around asset prices, but extend to the game of market mind, bringing a more efficient and transparent pricing system to the market.
Monad
On February 4, the parallel EVM network Monad hinted that the testnet may be launched within this month. The following are the current popular projects in its ecosystem.
aPriori
aPriori is a MEV-driven liquidity staking platform native to the Monad ecosystem. It aims to optimize Monads network performance and user experience by developing a new MEV and liquidity staking architecture. aPriori has currently raised a total of US$10.7 million. Its team members come from the field of high-frequency trading and have experience in top companies such as Jump Crypto, Flow Traders and Coinbase.
aPriori proposed a new MEVA design paradigm: probabilistic valuation. The scheme uses partial block auctions, allowing builders to build the top of the block from the packages submitted by searchers, while validators append the remaining transactions from the public memory pool. This approach greatly reduces latency and maximizes the performance of Monad.
Kuru
Kuru is a fully on-chain order book platform that completed a $2 million seed round last July. With the support of the Monad blockchain, Kuru achieves high throughput and low transaction costs, allowing market makers to frequently update quotes without the trouble of high fees and slow block times, thereby providing better prices and lower slippage. Kurus design optimizes the EVM environment, supporting users to create and cancel limit orders at a low constant gas fee, thereby enhancing market liquidity and spreads.
Kintsu
Kintsu is Monads native liquidity staking protocol, which attempts to solve the liquidity problem in traditional PoS staking and provide users with a more flexible and valuable staking method, allowing users to fully utilize their assets while ensuring the safety of their funds. It completed a $4 million seed round of financing in July last year.

Spotlight Protocol
Spotlight is a platform that combines AI, Crypto and meme culture, and is committed to transforming stories into an economy.
