Cool Shit I Found This Week #1
Damn, it’s been a while.
For once I’m not hungover on a Sunday and found some free time. So why not revive this old thing.
This might be a weekly series, or it might not, don’t want to make promises, but I’m trying to get back into the flow of posting on here again. Is it just to get clout points so I can dump on unsuspecting newcomers in the future? ofc not anon, who would do such a heinous thing.
Anyway, as the very well-thought-out and innovative title suggests, I’m just going to be summarizing all the cool shit that has come on my radar for the week and sharing it here.
Hopefully it helps some of yall. Let’s get into it.
#1 Architex
Twitter - https://x.com/Architex_ai?s=20
The AI narrative is super hot right now. While I know nothing about the technical side of AI, I know it’s going to be a super strong narrative going into the future. Just left-curve it, long AI.
With Architex, there isn’t much to go off. They have 1.5k Twitter followers and have a working website, which btw is pretty dope.
According to their website, they are looking to create an overlap between AI and mining. With their decentralized ASIC & GPU infrastructure, they aim to revolutionize mining operations and AI training. Whatever the fuck that means.
We’ll probably know more once the docs are out, but they have mentioned that their operations will work on Bitcoin, Bittensor, and Morpheus. Additionally, they’ve partnered with Inscribe for their project ‘reveal’. Pretty positive signs.

So, according to my bulletproof due diligence, the project seems decent enough. Worth keeping an eye on over the coming weeks.
#2 Nesa
Twitter - https://x.com/nesaorg?s=20
Sticking on the AI theme, we have another project that is set to release fairly soon.
Nesa is an AI-focused blockchain built on Cosmos WASM. Now, I’m trying to keep these brief, so if you want the whole technical spiel, read their docs, but the general premise is this.
ChatGPT and other inference platforms right now are, of course, centralized. This means that there is no privacy on your data and results, nor is there any accountability or visibility into their output on your critical transactions.
They essentially aim to be a decentralized alternative with their own AIVM, integrated mining network, and ZKML for privacy.
They will be having an NES token, so probably worth keeping your eye on this.
#3 Levante
Twitter - https://x.com/levante_ai?s=20
Okay, I’m sorry, this is the last AI one, I promise.
This is SUPER early stage. Only 34 followers lmao.
They are basically making some type of ring that uses AI. I have no idea what the purpose of the ring will be and how it relates to crypto, but it looks cool. Plus the dev in discord is pretty chill.
He also said the first 100 in there get OG role, so no harm in joining in and keeping up with what's going on here.
#4 Tatsu
Twitter - https://x.com/TatsuEcosystem?s=20
Lol, get baited. But fr, this is the last one.
This project, of course, has many more layers, but if I was to sum up tatsu really quick for you guys, it would be this.
They are building on top of Bittensor. Using the collective intelligence of a distributed system like Bittensor, they aim to create an ecosystem of AI-powered applications on top of the network.
Potentially something. Maybe nothing. Idk.
#5 NAV Finance
Twitter - https://x.com/NAVFinance_?s=20
Ewww DeFi, who tf cares about DeFi anymore. I know I know, I’m sorry, but this one looked pretty cool.
They’re basically bringing SIPs to DeFi. They basically have gigabrain quant and AI guys who make different strategies for you to simply put your money into and use. I have no idea how they make money, probably fees, but the products look cool.
They have airdrop farming SIPs, funding arbitrage SIPs, and basic DeFi investment SIPs. So if your normie friend is asking how to get started on DeFi, you can shill them this instead of the next on-chain shitcoin that’s getting hitler’d by your favourite influenza.
Something more topical is that they will have a Blast chain SIP and Berachain SIP. So, your new chain experience could become a lot easier.
Worth keeping an eye on.
#6 Bazaar
Twitter - https://x.com/hiBazaar?s=20
On this one, there is almost no info, so I can't really tell you what it does.
But it’s followed by a decent number of big accounts. I’d assume they all got seed in it so this will probably be heavily shilled on the TL over the coming weeks and is one worth keeping an eye on if you can get early discord roles or stuff along those lines.
#7 Uncharted
Twitter - https://x.com/gguncharted?s=20
This looks like a pretty interesting gaming play, which should also be a pretty hot narrative this cycle.
Their team is led by two smart crypto native dudes. Xdereklau & 0xConfucian. There aren’t too many details of how exactly everything will work, but I believe the general premise behind their games is to gamify the core loops of crypto to make a game that will appeal to crypto degens but also be easy for newer/web 2 people to get.
Their first game is Gangster Arena, which looks pretty cool, but then again, its just trailers. Everything looks good there.
Nonetheless, worth keeping an eye on. If it’s good then you found a decent early gaming play, if it’s shit then we ignore I ever mentioned this and move on.
#8 Blast Projects
Blast is just around the corner, so here are some cool projects I have my eye on.
BlonkFi
Twitter - https://x.com/BlonkFi?s=20
Money markets always pump on new ecos and this is one of them. While I don’t know much about the team and their credibility, the technical side of the project seems sound. Check this thread
https://x.com/BlonkFi/status/1760142160303935947?s=20
Core Markets
Twitter - https://x.com/Core_Markets?s=20
Perps are now a mainstay in all new ecos.
IntentX has been killing it on Base with their intents-based architecture, and Core Markets is bringing a similar product to Blast. Should do well.
Yolo Games
Twitter - https://x.com/YOLO_Blast?s=20
This is a gaming play on Blast. Again don’t know much about the game, but they will be giving 100% of their protocol rewards back to YOLO stakers. So should give a good ponzi pump at the minimum.
Agent Fi
Twitter - https://x.com/Agent_Fi?s=20
I mean AI on Blast. Hot narrative on new shiny chain, need I say more.
But basically, they are building AI agents which you can use to simplify your on-chain experience. It’ll help you make the most out of your shitcoining on Blast.
#9 DEX’s
Left the most boring one till the end because most of you probably didn’t make it this far. But I found two pretty cool DEXs.
MEVswap
Twitter - https://x.com/Mev_Swap?s=20
It’s built by Moenta Labs who are absolutely gigabrains.
Essentially, I’m tired of getting fucked by Jared and the gang on-chain, and this project may help. They will use MEV to benefit us. They essentially extract the most value possible from block production, like any other MEV searcher, but they give that value back to their users through cashbacks.
I’m a fan.
Staple
Twitter - https://x.com/Staple_Exchange?s=20
This is some big-brain shit. I just skimmed over their docs and didn’t understand half of it. So if any of you understand it, then please explain it to me.
What I did manage to gather was that they have come up with a new way of providing liquidity so that DEXs don’t suffer from liquidity fragmentation across pools, and also, that pesky impermanent loss is gone.
Now, we’ve heard this story a million times before, and it hasn’t worked, so I too am skeptical, but no harm in keeping tabs on it and giving it a shot.
If it actually turns out to be true, then great, we’ve found an absolute hidden gem.
Alright, that’s all from me. I hope this helped. If you liked it, then please let me know, I’ll try and do them more frequently.
Ciao
