Underrated

Digital currencies are quite well known for massive price boosts that often seemingly come from nowhere. The reason why this happens is the fact that a lot of coins and tokens tend to remain undervalued for a certain period of time, as for some reason, their value does not match their potential. Then, when the value starts catching up, there is a seemingly random price surge that investors tend to jump on.

The key advice here is to try to find good investments before this happens, which can be difficult, given the pure size of the crypto market and the difficulty of assessing which projects offer good quality — before that quality becomes apparent to all. This is why we have decided to comb the market for projects that have real, deep potential, which is currently still unnoticed. The result of our search is the following list. We cannot claim that all of them will blow up or even that any of them will, but we do believe that the projects we are about to discuss have more to them than meets the eye.

1. pNetwork

The first on our list is pNetwork — an open-source multi-chain routing protocol that provides interoperability across a variety of independent blockchains. The functionalities enable the release of pTokens — wrapped tokens that rely on maintaining the peg between the native blockchain and a host blockchain.

For example, they would be used for bringing Bitcoin to Ethereum’s network in the form of wrapped Bitcoin, and they would maintain the peg, thus enabling one form of interoperability. Furthermore, PNT also serves as a governance token within its own network and acts as a staking currency and a reward currency.

2. Gitcoin

Moving on, we have Gitcoin — a community of builders, creators, and protocols that have banded together to create the future of the open internet. Inspired by Github, Gitcoin aims to create a community that would support infrastructure for Web3, including tools, networks, technologies, and more, all for the purpose of the development of the open-source sphere.

Its token, GTC, acts primarily as a governance token, and it was launched in May 2021 as a necessary component for the creation of funding of the Gitcoin DAO. Its vision of the future includes a digital ecosystem with digital democracy and an emphasis on community building known as Quadratic Lands.

3. Gods Unchained

Next, we have Gods Unchained, which is a free-to-play tactical card game that aims to bring back the ownership of in-game items — primarily cards — to their owners. Of course, card games are nothing new in the gaming industry. However, the players’ ownership of them has changed. Back in the day, when players used physical cards to play these games, they were the actual owners of the cards. Once the games went digital, players could still buy the cards, but just like any in-game asset, they can still be taken away from them with a push of a button.

Gods Unchained plans to change this by using NFTs to give users actual ownership of their cards once more. At the same time, it is also a very fun and addicting game where strategy and good cards are all that you need to win.

4. Alien Worlds

Alien Worlds is a decentralized, NFT-based metaverse where players compete for a rare resource known as Trillium (TLM). The game features a stimulated economy centered around planetary worlds, and because of this, the game also has a DeFi element to it.

Players can advance in the game through TLM staking, and it can also be used to vote in Platet DAOs. Players can explore the metaverse and engage in mining in order to get more TLM or NFT packs, and they can stake TLM to boost the rewards that they get or even battle others in order to win NFTs. It is a very fun and unique concept that is based on rivalry, strategy, exploration, and the sense of community that we have found quite interesting.

5. Rarible

In the fifth place, we have Rarible — a creator-centric NFT marketplace that also serves as an issuance platform. The platform uses the RARI token to provide users with the ability to interact with the protocol. The users can easily create new NFTs for unique digital items, such as game items, artwork, and alike.

Anyone can access the Rarible marketplace and use it to create and post NFTs for sale. Meanwhile, the RARI token is the fundamental pillar of the entire platform, and it is used to reward activity and participation in the protocol’s governance.

6. Ethereum Name Service

One of the most underrated projects on this list is Ethereum Name Service, which is a distributed, open, and extensible naming system based on Ethereum’s network. The project’s goal is to convert Ethereum addresses that humans can read into the machine-readable alphanumeric codes that users know from crypto wallets.

Obviously, it is impossible for humans to remember long and complicated wallet addresses that consist of seemingly random numbers and letters. While these addresses are telling the systems everything they need to know about where to send the money, people cannot remember them, and even entering them manually can easily lead to a mistake. This is why using ENS to create simple addresses like “john.eth” is much easier to manage and use for people.

7. Qredo

Then, there is Qredo — rearchitecting digital asset ownership and blockchain connectivity project. It aims to bring a new approach to liquidity and capital efficiency to the blockchain economy by offering the first-ever decentralized, trustless, multi-party computation custodial network.

Simply put, it can offer decentralized custody, cross-platform liquidity access, and native cross-chain swaps. While the project is more on the technical side, it has great potential to advance the usability of blockchain technology and make it more user-friendly for everyone.

8. ETH Push Notification Service

Ethereum Push Notification Service, or EPNS, is a project that acts as a notification protocol for wallets. Simply put, it aims to allow wallet addresses to receive notifications and notify users of any major changes in the crypto industry. Any protocol, dApp, or smart contract can use it to send notifications to users in a platform-agnostic way.

There is also a DeFi aspect to the project that allows users to earn crypto in exchange for allowing the system to send them notifications and warnings. We believe that this project has a great future in the Web3 environment, as it can instantly notify the users of important updates, events, actions, and alike, and nothing like this exists as of yet, so the project has basically no competition in the field.

9. Holo

Next up, we have a P2P distributed platform for hosting decentralized apps called Holo. Holo can do this using Holochain, a framework for developing dAPps that doesn’t require actual blockchain technology. The project’s goal is to serve as a ridge between the broader internet and apps built on Holochain.

It can also offer an entire ecosystem and even a marketplace where dApps can be easily accessible and where they are hosted on the internet by Holo network participants.

10. REVV

In the tenth spot, we have REVV, which is a utility token used as an in-game currency in motorsport games created by Animoca Brands. The games are also blockchain-based, and REVV is used to maintain their gaming economy. This includes titles such as REVV Racing, MotoGP Ignition, and F1 Delta Time. All of these projects implemented the P2E model, which also means that players can benefit financially simply from playing the games.

REVV can be obtained as a reward for participating in Grand-Prix tournaments, time-trial races, and through staking of the race cars and collecting dividends from track ownership.

11. Pawtocol

In the 11th spot, we have Pawtocol — a unique project that aims to connect pet owners from all over the world into a single online community using the blockchain. The project also wishes to disrupt the pet industry by using the blockchain to monetize data about pets. This means that users can upload pet data on the blockchain, and monetize it while still keeping it safe and private.

The benefits of this include the improvements in owners’ purchasing experience, but also, this approach to storing data in an easy-to-access, immutable way can also help veterinarians learn the pets’ history, easily go through their files, and deliver better care.

12. PowerPool

Next up, we have PowerPool — a DAO manager of non-custodial structured investments. The project offers a broadly diversified, actively managed, gas-efficient, reward-rich, multi-chain family of thematic pooled investment tokens with hedging options blended by average investors. What this means is that investors will be exposed to bearish, bullish, and even neutral crypto investment strategies by offering different tokens that represent funds that use different strategies.

The protocol’s mission is to curate balanced shortlists of tokens that are capable of mirroring the investment strategies used by hedge funds, and in doing so, investors can hedge their exposure to high-yield products and farming rewards while also enjoying protection against negative price risks.

13. Klever

In the thirteenth spot, we have Klever, which is a crypto wallet ecosystem that offers three major products — Klever App, Klever Swap, and Klever OS. The project’s emerging platforms — Klever Blockchain and Klever Exchange — are live and powered by the project’s native token KLV, which is a utility token that runs everything.

There is also Klever Wallet, which is very simple to use, it features high security, and it enables self-custody, all while supporting the world’s largest blockchains and offering over 500 trading pairs.

14. Celo

Nearing the end of the list, we have Celo — a blockchain ecosystem focusing on pushing crypto adoption among smartphone users. The project uses phone numbers as public keys, making it easy for users to share them, remember them, and confirm their accuracy. The project intends to use this approach to introduce billions of smartphone users to the crypto industry, including those with no banking access.

More than that, the network also allows for the creation of smart contracts, dApps, and other blockchain products. It has plans to use multiple tokens — CELO, which is used for transaction fees, governance, and related activities, as well as multiple stablecoins pegged to USD, EUR, and REAL.

15. Moss Carbon Credit

Finally, the last on our list is Moss Carbon Credit — a project that aims to promote the preservation of the environment through a market solution, which includes the development and democratization of the carbon credit market through MCO2 tokens. The project intends to make this happen by purchasing carbon credits from high-quality environmental projects in the Amazon Rainforest that avoid of capture CO2 emissions into the atmosphere.

Moss can then allow firms and individual users to purchase these credits themselves on its platform, significantly simplifying a process that was historically seen as highly complex.

Conclusion

The crypto market is massive, diverse, and currently sitting at its bottom after ten months of price losses caused by the bear market that has been dominating since November 2021. However, even now, it provides an opportunity — a chance to buy good quality projects while they are at their bottom. Buying cheap and selling once the price goes up is what crypto trading and investing are all about, and so we recommend keeping an eye on the tokens discussed above. And, if your research suggests that they are good investment opportunities, maybe consider approaching them, too.
