To research the evolution trends of current Crypto projects, we need some currently active but not yet TGE projects as research subjects. Therefore, we analyzed based on Pre-TGE projects on the InfoFi platform @KaitoAI.
From 43 Pre-TGE projects, we discovered some interesting data and roughly saw the mainstream direction and evolution trends of current Crypto projects. Finally, we organized 8 small trends, which will be introduced one by one. The basic information of 43 Pre-TGE projects is attached at the end of the article.
