Polkadot is strengthening its reputation as a highly scalable and interoperable blockchain network by providing a strong foundation for cross-chain innovations.
With the expansion of its parachain ecosystem, a variety of promising low-cap tokens are emerging, delivering real-world utility. These range from privacy-focused infrastructure and simulation-testing environments to decentralized trading platforms, along with networks for physical infrastructure.
The new tokens developing within the Polkadot ecosystem present early investment opportunities for those looking to engage with the upcoming wave of interoperable Web3 solutions. Here are several noteworthy projects that are currently under the radar.
Polkadex (PDEX)
Polkadex is a non-custodial, orderbook-based decentralized exchange that combines the speed of centralized exchanges with the security and interoperability of decentralized exchanges.
Polkadex is pioneering the future of decentralized trading. Its orderbook combines the efficiency and ease of centralized exchanges while maintaining the transparency and security that decentralized finance (DeFi) offers.
- Price: $0.075
- Market Cap: ~$635K
- 24h Volume: ~$97K
Exchanges: Available on Gate (PDEX/USDT), AscendEX, and other Polkadex-supported DEX trading pairs.
Integritee Network (TEER)
Integritee Network utilizes confidential computing and off-chain execution environments to enhance privacy and scalability for dApps on Polkadot.
When using Incognitee for crypto transactions, privacy-enhanced AI messaging, and vouchers, you’ll experience a level of security that is far superior to that of public blockchains.
What distinguishes Incognitee from other Web3 projects is its strong emphasis on privacy, addressing not just crypto transactions but also providing other essential tools.
- Price: ~$0.14
- Market Cap: ~$566k
- 24h Volume: ~$158k
Exchanges: Traded on Gate (TEER/USDT), Kraken, and Uniswap V4.
Krest Network (KREST)
Krest Network aims to enhance decentralization and governance within the Polkadot ecosystem, focusing on cross-chain infrastructure and community-driven protocols.
At its core, Krest Network employs simulation, a widely used technique across industries to digitally model processes, thus reducing the costs and complexities of real-world execution. This method proves beneficial for manufacturing testing and startups refining their market fit. Krest takes this concept further by integrating it with the Internet of Things (IoT), enabling real-world testing of projects built on the peaq platform.
- Price: ~$0.0093
- Market Cap: $460k
- 24h Volume: ~$216K
Exchanges: Available on MEXC (KREST/USDT).
Nodle (NODL)
The NODL token is the native utility token within the Nodle network and its ecosystem.
The Nodle Network stands as the largest Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) on zkSync, comprising over 1 million nodes and 200,000 daily active users. By using the Nodle app, anyone with a smartphone can participate and earn rewards, available for download on iOS and Android.
The Nodle community recently approved NGP002: Tokenomics v3.1 with overwhelming support, having zero votes against and over 550 million in favor!
This upgrade shifts to a disinflationary model: the supply of NODL will decrease over time, enhancing its scarcity and sustainability. Additionally, a portion of NODL will be burned during network interactions, directly linking the token’s value to its actual use.
- Price: $0.0001203
- Market Cap: $642.52K
- 24h Volume: $85.12k
Exchanges: Available on MexC, Gate, and Kraken.
