Since the U.S. intervened in the Israel-Palestine conflict, BTC briefly dropped below $99,000 this week (returning to the price level of May 8 this year). Although the market has shown a V-shaped recovery, Trump has been flip-flopping on the Israel-Palestine issue. Even for someone like me who is always long, I am reluctant to take aggressive risks. It might be better to avoid this “bomb” named Trump, reduce leverage, maintain positions, and research new projects with better cost-performance ratios.

In this article, Odaily summarizes 7 new projects worth paying attention to and participating in as soon as possible, enjoy~

Pengu Clash

Project Introduction: Pengu Clash is a P2E TG mini-game launched by the Fat Penguin team on TON. Players can earn rewards through PvP, making it one of the most popular TG mini-games recently, with over 2 million registered players.

Participation Opportunity: Users can register on their official website, then connect their TON wallet and make a deposit to start playing. Currently, there are three game modes: Darts, Bomber, and Monster. All three modes are throwing games, very similar to curling competitions.

The Darts mode is similar to traditional dart games, where users can control the speed and direction of the penguin, launching it towards the bullseye on the map, with the goal of landing it on the bullseye. Similarly, your opponent can throw his penguin as well, which can knock your penguin away. Each player has three chances, and the user with the highest score wins the game.

The Bomber mode is a bomb-type game, similar to Minesweeper (user’s buried mine version). After each of the three penguins thrown by the user lands, it will leave a bomb in place. After each round, the bombs explode and leave craters. The goal of the game is to throw the penguins in such a way that they avoid the bombs and craters, but you can also hit your opponent’s penguins to make them collide with bombs or fall into craters. The last surviving penguin is the winner.

Monster mode is the Monster mode, where a monster is on the field. After the first round ends, the penguin closest to the monster will automatically explode. The goal is to make your penguin hit the monster or to knock the monster to the position closest to the opponent’s penguin. The last surviving penguin wins.

In addition, Pengu Clash has recently launched King Mode, and also introduced a penguin skin, which has increased in price by about 4 times since its minting.

In my personal opinion, mini-games are quite interesting, and PvP is always the best way to attract players from the crypto space. The rewards earned after the competition can be withdrawn at any time (PS: I haven’t played yet, just watched the video introduction. My colleague Asher is currently writing a detailed introduction to the gameplay and strategies).

VIBES

Project Introduction: Vibes is a newly launched “mouth-pulling” platform, supported by Vibes AI.

Participation Opportunity: “Zui Lu” has recently become extremely popular. After Kaito, more and more people are starting to turn to the monetization of influence. Reference: 《The Times Have Changed, Retail Investors Turn to “Zui Lu”》。

Vibes, as a new project, suddenly became popular last weekend. The late post was because it previously required an invitation code, but it is now open to all users. You can connect your X account to participate. I won’t provide a guide for mouth-to-mouth recommendations; just feel free to play around. I humbly ask the bosses to click my Vibes link to participate in this project.

Upside

Project Introduction: Upside is a social prediction market on Base, supported by Jason Choi and Arthur Hayes, partners at The Spartan Group.

Participation Opportunity: The Upside invitation code is limited, and the first season has ended. The second season activity is now open. Users can DM their official X account with: “Let me in!” to obtain an invitation code. The specific gameplay is: Upside is somewhat similar to the previous friend.tech, but the difference is that ft is about purchasing individual keys, while Upside is about purchasing content. The content refers to the market, where creators can upload or share links to what they believe is valuable content, which can be articles or videos. Users can purchase your tickets with USDC to participate in predicting your uploaded tweets (whether they will go viral). If your content goes viral, the ticket price increases. In a way, Upside can also be considered an innovative project in UGC.

Prediction form:

• Starting price for content: $0.01 per like;
• Maximum supply: 1 million likes per link;
• Prices rise with increasing demand and can be sold at any time for profit;
• Popular tweets will win USDC prizes, awarded to creators, sharers, and voters.

Reward Type:

• Sharer: Share the hottest links and earn 5% of the prediction pool;
• Voters: Holders of winning thumbs-up votes share 80% of the pool proportionally;
• Traders: Buy low and sell high to earn likes (0 transaction fee);
• Inviter: Receive 50% of the agreement fees from the invitee within 50 days;
• Creator: Good content dissemination can earn 15% of the bonus pool.

Project Introduction: Yieldoor is a DeFi yield platform, currently with a TVL of nearly 1 million USD.

Pango

Participation Opportunity: Join the waitlist on their website, Pango can convert the content (documents, spreadsheets, PPT) that can be used in work into rewards, earning double for one job, which is very suitable for Web3 users. Pango is supported by Chakra Labs, and previously, guests at the Akash Accelerate 2025 event held by Chakra Labs in New York included: Dragonfly founder Haseeb, NEAR Protocol co-founder Illia Polosukhin, among others, making it a star-studded lineup worth following.
