In a market where the major cryptos have largely matured, many investors are turning their focus to the next wave of breakout projects. The search for the next crypto to explode is centred on early-stage tokens that combine:
A low current price and small market cap (offering leverage for upside)
A clear use-case and ecosystem building (not just hype)
Early traction and token-omics are designed to reward early entry
In that light, a project like Tapzi is drawing attention. Reports show it’s positioning itself within the “skill-to-earn” GameFi niche, an area many believe could be one of crypto’s next growth frontiers.
How we selected the list
To create this list of potential “exploders”, we applied the following criteria:
Token price is still very low (giving the possibility of large percentage gains)
A working product or proof of concept (avoiding purely speculative tokens)
Tokenomics with meaningful allocation and vesting (so upside isn’t purely hype)
A trending narrative that is picked up by the crypto media and community
With those in mind, Tapzi leads the list, followed by four other projects that also meet many of the criteria (though none, in our view, match Tapzi’s combination of factors).
#1 Tapzi (TAPZI) – The top pick
What is Tapzi?
Tapzi is a Web3 gaming platform built around skill-based competition, players stake TAPZI tokens in games where performance (not just luck) determines rewards.
According to the official site:
Smart contracts audited (by Coinsult, SolidProof) with KYC’d team.
Token price at presale approx. $0.0035.
Total supply: 5 billion TAPZI; presale allocation ~20%.
Why Tapzi stands out
Low entry point: At ~$0.0035, it requires modest investment to secure a meaningful number of tokens.
Skill-to-earn narrative: Rather than “play-to-earn” where rewards degrade over time, Tapzi focuses on skill competition, which gives it more sustainability.
Accessibility: The platform emphasises mobile + web access, fewer friction points for mainstream gamers.
Tokenomics & scarcity: With a fixed supply and presale stage unlocked, it offers an early-mover advantage.
Catalysts imminent: With the presale active and market attention increasing, the listing/launch could trigger the next leg.
Upside scenario
If Tapzi lists at $0.01 (as some sources suggest) from the current ~$0.0035 presale price, that implies ~3× potential before any broader adoption. Some bullish commentary even suggests much larger moves if the user base scales significantly.
Key risks
Execution risk: Gaming platforms live or die by user adoption. Even a good idea still needs a strong community.
Market risk: Crypto remains volatile; early-stage tokens often fall if the broader market sells off.
Competition: GameFi is crowded. Tapzi will need to differentiate and deliver.
Presale dilution/listing risk: Token unlocks, listing timing, or poor liquidity could dampen hype.
Other projects to watch
Here are four additional projects worth monitoring (all carry higher risk than Tapzi but may offer complementary exposure):
#2 DeepSnitch AI (DSNT) – Focused on AI-driven crypto market monitoring tools. Good narrative, early stage.
#3 BlockDAG (BDAG) – DAG + EVM-compatible Layer-1 with large raise. Big upside but higher execution risk.
