Original Article Author: Stacy Muur, Crypto Researcher
Original Article Translation: Deep Tide TechFlow
I hope to discover these protocols before they become hot topics and share them with everyone, which is a very interesting thing to do.
In my early "Be Early" (Early Project Preview) series of articles, I have introduced projects such as @TopHat_One, @Duck_Chain, @Cortex_Protocol, @Infinit_Labs, and others to everyone.
These insights mainly come from @getmoni_io's Moni Discover tool, which is an intelligent platform that helps users discover early-stage protocols.
So, what new discoveries are on my January watchlist? Let's take a look together!
