The crypto space has now evolved into many clear directions (tracks/categories), each with different projects and tokens. 1. Layer 1

The underlying public chains fundamentally support the entire ecosystem, constructing the core value layer where assets, smart contracts, states, and consensus reside.

2. Layer 2 / Layer 0

Providing scalability, speed enhancements, and low fees for the underlying chains is key to ecological scalability.

3. Decentralized Finance (DeFi)

DeFi signifies the on-chain provision of financial services and is one of the core application directions in the crypto space.

4. Stablecoins

Pegged to fiat currencies and maintaining stable value, they are the cornerstone of on-chain payments and contract settlements.

5. NFTs and Digital Collectibles

Representing digital ownership and the creative economy, they were among the first waves to attract the public in Web3.

6. On-chain Data, Indexing, and Middleware

This direction addresses the issue of "how on-chain data can be used and accessed."

7. Decentralized Storage and Physical Infrastructure (DePIN)

8. Oracle Layer

A key bridge for bringing real-world data on-chain. Without oracles, many DeFi applications cannot operate.

9. Quantum Resistance, Security, and Cryptographic Infrastructure

Security solutions against future quantum computing threats, representing a long-term foundational security direction.

10. Data Computation, AI, and On-chain Agents

A direction integrating blockchain and artificial intelligence, one of the hot trends for 2025.

11. Social / Web3 Communication

On-chain social protocols, identity protocols, and decentralized social economic systems.

12. GameFi / Metaverse

The direction of on-chain gaming economies and the assetization of virtual worlds. Example directions: virtual real estate, on-chain gaming economic systems, and tokenization of digital world assets.

13. RWA (Real World Assets On-chain)

This direction tokenizes real-world assets, such as real estate, stocks, and bonds. It is currently trending towards becoming a frontier for institutions and compliance.

14. Meme Coins & Community Tokens

A category driven purely by emotion, including meme culture, rebellious tokens, etc. #币的类型
