There are a lot of crypto projects of dubious merit. Here are a few of the current crypto-related projects that I think are doing something novel / useful. Which projects are you excited about?\
\
1hive - DAO that supports interesting community / governance mechanisms (conviction voting, BrightID)\
monero - private, fungible cryptocurrency. Monero is what newbs think they\'re buying when they buy Bitcoin\
haveno - decentralized fiat / crypto exchange (fork of bisq with monero as base currency)\
haven - private stablecoin (based on Monero)\
zcash - another privacy first cryptocurrency\
tari - private NFT\'s\
sia - decentralized file storage\
handshake - decentralized DNS\
scrt network - private smart contract\
mobhaza - decentralized marketplace for physical goods (fork of openbazaar)\
bisq - decentralilzed fiat / crypto exchange (BTC maximalists though)\
btcpayserver - self hosted crypto payment management\
cake wallet - Monero-first mobile wallet with built in BTC/LTC exchange\
chia - crypto that uses a novel, energy efficient new consensus mechanism based on disk storage (Proof of Space and Time )\
althea.network - P2P incentivized mesh network for rural ISP\'s\
memo.cash - incentivized link sharing network\
start9 - plug and play personal server\
mobilecoin - fast, private payments integrated into the Signal private messaging app\
