š What Makes These Projects Stand Out
- Realāworld utility & compute: from drone flight data to scientific research.
- Decentralized participation: AI training, microcomputing, or robotic coordination is open to token holders.
- Innovation frontier: Many are backed by top VCs (Paradigm), academic teams, or pioneering quantum/AI labs.
- Token incentives: Incentivizing contributorsāwhether they run nodes, train models, or mine data.
