How can anyone know which projects in crypto will succeed?
Maybe you follow price action? Maybe you follow the narrative? Maybe you follow the advice of an influencer?
To help us all find the most promising projects in crypto, Coinage is excited to bring back our Crypto Project of the Year — the first-ever series highlighting the top projects in crypto as determined by our Web3 community. Over weeks of interviews and discussions with leaders and founders from the best projects in crypto, the Coinage community will once again come to consensus to crown our Project of the Year.
Last year, many of the projects we featured outperformed the broader market — with a few of our featured projects more than doubling the performance of Bitcoin. This year, new challengers have emerged — and they await your support as voting is set to open.
Together, we will explore a top field of 16 to crown Coinage's Crypto Project of the Year.
How Coinage Crowns Crypto's Project of the Year
Coinage is an award-winning, community-owned media DAO steered and supported by our more than 7,000 holders and counting (including the co-founder of Netflix.) Over the next few weeks, Coinage will be hosting on-chain votes to see which projects our community finds most promising. A field of 16 top projects nominated by our community will be whittled down before our Project of the Year is named via Snapshot votes. As with all Coinage votes, influence is determined by voting tier. To be eligible to vote, you'll need to hold $COINAGE, or a Coinage Caucus or Network NFT, or Basic Attention Token from Brave Browser.

During the ensuing weeks, Coinage will host discussions with leaders from our field of the top projects in crypto. After a round of voting, 16 projects will be narrowed to eight. A second round of voting will determine our final four projects remaining, before a semi-final in early January and a final round of voting determines which project wins the right to be named Coinage's Crypto Project of the Year.
As always, Coinage NFT holders are encouraged to participate by adding interview questions or research in our token-gated Discord channels.
