The bull run is a marathon, not a sprint. The big winners of 2025 could still be under the radar.
Here are 5 upcoming projects I'm watching closely (🧵👇)
Project 1 - Nillion:
Nillion is creating the base layer for private data on the internet.
It integrates 8+ Privacy Enhancing Technologies to build a secure network.
Created by former Uber and Google experts, it's set to revolutionize AI with its blind compute tech.
Valued recently at $400M, the NIL token is set to launch in Q3 2024.

(i) How Does Nillion Work?
Nillion uses cutting-edge privacy tech like MPC and Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) to handle encrypted data securely.
How It Works:
Pre-Processing: Data is masked and wrapped to ensure privacy.
Computation: Masked data is sent to nodes for processing, keeping the original information hidden.

Project 2 - Grass Network:
Grass is the world’s first Layer 2 Data Rollup.
It leverages the bandwidth of over 2 millionusers to enhance AI training on the Solana blockchain.
With over 4x growth YTD and a potential token launch ahead, Grass aims to become the AI data backbone.

(i) Navigating The AI Data Boom:
As AI advances, the demand for data grows.
Training AI like GPT-5 demands an estimated 80 trillion data tokens—a 6x jump from the GPT-4 model
With rising costs, tech giants like Google are making huge data bids, such as $60 million for Reddit's data.
In this climate, Grass Network aims to keep data access fair and open.

Project 4 - Allora Network:
Allora is a self-improving decentralized AI network that recently raised $35M.
It aims to democratize advanced AI, offering context-aware intelligence to communities worldwide.
Allora operates on topics like asset price prediction, social sentiment analysis, and natural language generation.
Here’s an overview of its key features:

(i) ALLO Token Model:
The ALLO token uses a Pay-What-You-Want (PWYW) model, letting holders set their own fee for inferences.
Without a fee, no rewards are given, which reduces the topic's weight and redistributes emissions.
This flexible approach allows for price discovery through market dynamics. Token release dates are yet to be announced.

Project 5 - Peaq Network:
Peaq Network is an L1 blockchain designed specifically for DePINs.
It’s the largest and fastest-growing DePIN ecosystem, with over 750k devices and 30+ DePIN networks.
PEAQ launched on Coinlist in Q2 2024 and is currently in the final pre-launch stages, not yet publicly tradable.
