Fast-emerging projects on my radar
5 Things I'm watching
It’s the 59th edition of The Gems Corner. Today, I’ll take a break from our AI series to present a few projects I’ve been watching lately.
As marketing gradually rebounds, it is expedient to look at some projects that are at the bleeding edge of innovation. Some of these projects are new, while others have been in development for a while.
Without further ado, let’s get in!
Alkimiya is frontrunning a new narrative called ‘BlockspaceFi’. It’s a platform where users can speculate, hedge, and trade on the rise and fall of Bitcoin transaction fees.
If you’re expecting a surge in Bitcoin activity and fees, you buy. And if you’re bearish on BTC activity, you sell - it’s that simple.
They recently hit $1M in trading volume, and also have an ongoing trading competition known as ‘Alkimiya 777’. Check it out here.
Built on EigenLayer, eOracle is the first Ethereum-native oracle designed as a modular and programmable data layer secured by Ethereum.
Essentially, they're offering dApps native security with real-world connectivity and off-chain compute, backed by restaked ETH and the decentraized network of Ethereum validators.
So far, eOracle is the second largest AVS by economic security with about 2.6M ETH restaked and 115 total operators.
Fluid is one of the most innovative and leading lending protocol in DeFi. Some of its features include the highest LTV, better rates, lowest liquidation penalties, capital optimization, and more.
Fluid recently launched the weETHs/wstETH vault which users can leverage to get 11.11x Symbiotic, 38.88x Etherfi, and 33.33x Veda points.
Interestingly, they are conducting an NFT campaign with Jumper to enable Jumper Loyalty Pass holders to mint a free NFT mint on Fluid.
Posemesh is innovating through spatial computing DePIN. They’re a decentralized machine perception network for the next 100 billion people, devices, and AI. In simple terms, Posemesh enables the interaction between Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Reality via a universal spatial computing protocol.
Posemesh is exploring an uncharted DePIN territory by building at the intersection of two massive industries (AR & AI), worth over trillions of dollars - excited about this one.
Creator Bid is the hub for the AI Creator Economy, designed to empower creators to scale content creation and social media brands leveraging of highly specialized, interconnected AI Agents.
These autonomous, AI Creator Agents (ACAs) facilitate two core use cases: content creator agents and AI influencer agents.
That’s it. These are the five ones I’m looking at for now, will share the others in the subsequent episodes of my AI Series. Also, most of these projects are still tokenless, so it might be worth engaging with them.
