Why Are Some of the Best Crypto Projects Still Overlooked? BTCSOLKASEOSEOS 2mon ago by r/cryptomarkets

It’s interesting how some projects seem to be making real progress under the radar while others dominate headlines just off hype. I’ve been looking at different metrics, TVL growth, real adoption, network upgrades, and it’s clear that some ecosystems are quietly getting stronger without making much noise. Take EOS, for example. It had a reputation for years as an "old" project, but if you actually check the numbers, it’s been making serious moves. TVL is near an all-time high, adoption is increasing, and the latest upgrades (like the Antelope Spring update) have improved efficiency and tokenomics. It’s even part of the Coin50 Index, which tracks the strongest smart contract platforms in the market, and it’s currently the second-best performer in that category. But despite all that, it’s not a name you see constantly hyped on CT or Reddit. Maybe it’s just because newer projects steal the spotlight, or people still associate it with the past, but I feel like narratives shift fast in crypto. We’ve seen it before—Solana was “dead” in 2022, and now it’s everywhere again. Another one I’ve been keeping an eye on is Kaspa (KAS). It’s been flying under the radar but has a unique approach with its blockDAG structure, allowing high-speed transactions while maintaining decentralization. Unlike a lot of L1s, it doesn’t rely on gimmicks—it’s pure proof-of-work but with a design that solves a lot of Bitcoin’s scaling issues. The adoption is slow but steady, and if you look at its trajectory, it feels like one of those projects that could explode when the market catches on. What other projects do you guys think are building quietly while the market focuses on the same handful of names? Are there any ecosystems you’re watching that you think will get more attention once the market picks up? submitted by /u/Ok-Western-5799 [link] [comments]
