JuChain, a high-performance public blockchain, has steadily advanced based on three core strategies: “low cost, high compatibility, and strong ecosystem.” Amid fierce multi-chain competition, JuChain has attracted a wide range of early-stage projects with compelling narratives and strong technical foundations through multi-dimensional support programs and incubation platforms. These projects span frontier sectors such as DePIN, AI infrastructure, Launchpad, and on-chain gaming. To uncover early investment opportunities, we are launching the JuChain Early-Stage Potential Projects Discovery Series. In this edition, we spotlight Butterfly, DI (Decentralized Intelligence), YoloPad, and WOW EARN.
1. Butterfly
Project Overview
Butterfly is the first native protocol on JuChain. Leveraging JuChain’s extensive resources, Butterfly achieved explosive popularity, selling out 3,000 nodes within just 18 minutes during its node sales event — rivaling the meme craze on Solana. Notably, Thai royalty and generals personally attended the launch event, lending both political and public trust to the project.
Butterfly focuses on decentralized edge computing as a DePIN project, aiming to break the centralized bottlenecks of traditional AI and cloud infrastructure. It represents a new chapter in the JuChain ecosystem, combining top-tier narratives including DeFi, GameFi, and NFTs.
Key Highlights
Deep Integration with JuChain: Utilizes JuChain’s ultra-low fees to make edge computing economically viable. Seamlessly integrates with native applications for plug-and-play real-world scenarios.
Optimized Architecture: Features a geographical scheduling algorithm (Morgan algorithm) to reduce latency, supports GPU/FPGA/CPU for heterogeneous computing tasks, and optimizes bandwidth through local task distribution.
Sustainable Economic Model: A dual-sided conservation protocol dynamically balances supply and demand. Incentives adjust based on network performance to avoid inflation, while long-term participation is encouraged over short-term mining and selling.
Current Stage
Butterfly holds a structural advantage over traditional centralized solutions by utilizing idle social resources without the need for expensive data centers. Its geo-distributed architecture reaches areas conventional cloud providers cannot, and its community-driven growth model (“use equals build”) ensures scalability and long-term potential.
With royal backing, the project’s node pre-sale drew huge market attention. The token was officially launched on May 17 with the contract address: 0xe0c2e23400b1D46e4dd6396e451EFA219B5995d1. Users can also mine tokens through the Butterfly app using $JU to purchase computing power (currently 4.948 T/H). Participation at this early stage offers a first-mover advantage.
Investment Logic
As the first native JuChain protocol, Butterfly combines DePIN, AI, GameFi narratives with royal endorsement and platform benefits. It builds a decentralized edge computing market to overcome centralized cloud limitations. Now at the token launch and mining pool start phase, it offers early entry opportunities backed by a community-driven model and flexible incentives — ideal for high-growth, high-elasticity mid-to-early-stage investments.
2. DI (Decentralized Intelligence)
Project Overview
DI is a decentralized AI computing network that integrates distributed computing, storage, native encrypted models, and AI models to deliver cost-effective, censorship-resistant AI solutions for developers, enterprises, and researchers globally.
Key Highlights
Strong Team Background:
- DI Foundation — the core governance body — features prominent members:
- William Entriken: Creator of ERC-721 (NFTs), member of Ethereum core devs.
- Jeff Ren: OKX Ventures partner, OKLink CEO.
- Victor Chen: Ex-CTO of Tsinghua Unigroup, Western Digital, IBM China.
- Zhicong Liu: ERC-7585 author, CYFS protocol creator, ex-Xunlei chief engineer.
- MICHILL: Core BAYC/Azuki TW member, COO of DI Foundation.
Vast Ecosystem:
The DI ecosystem includes 4 series — launched ones are DI-A (AI models), dolphinx, DI-C (Compute), provide; DI-S (Storage) and DI-X (AI Agent) are upcoming. OKX Ventures also follows DI’s official X account.
Current Stage
Still early-stage, DI held a whitelist airdrop with Bitget Wallet in April. Users can now join a points system for future airdrops. Uniquely, DI’s AI model allocates points based on users’ Web3 social influence — ideal for top KOLs. Points are automatically calculated upon binding wallets. As of now, 37.5 million points have been distributed to nearly 10,000 users.
Investment Logic
With a powerhouse team, DI remains early-stage. Its mainnet is live, though the token is yet to launch. The points system cold-starts the user base with viral Web3 social incentive mechanisms. As more modules launch, DI is poised to become a foundational AI infrastructure in Web3, offering future token value capture and strong network effects.
3. YoloPad
Project Overview
YoloPad is a novel token launch protocol. Through dynamic tokenomics, liquidity returns, burn incentives, leaderboard challenges, lotteries, and viral referral mechanisms, YoloPad makes each launch fairer, more fun, and sustainable.
Targeting savvy “Degens” rather than FOMO-driven traders, YoloPad rewards smart strategy: precise minting, clever burns, and signal-based arbitrage. Each on-chain action feeds into game-like incentives — victory belongs to those who understand the rules and take bold risks.
Key Highlights
- Two-Stage Minting: Fair fixed-price fundraising followed by bonding-curve pricing reflecting real demand.
- Burn Leaderboards: Top burners share 80% of BNB prize pools.
- LP Return Mechanism: Instead of burning LP tokens, users/creators can stake and unlock them later.
- Custom Tools: Creators can set token name, supply, price, rewards — also extract 5% of total funds raised as profit.
Current Stage
In testnet phase. Early users may qualify for airdrops. Supports BNB Chain and Sonic. Early launch projects include MSC, Ys, derp, and DRD.
Investment Logic
YoloPad redefines launch mechanisms for strategic players. Its gamified incentives and tools on popular chains (BNB, Sonic) make it a strong candidate as the next-gen token launch platform — especially while still early-stage.
4. WOW EARN
Project Overview
WOW EARN is an integrated Web3 app combining DeFi, SocialFi, trading, and mining. Based on “Proof of Engagement,” WOW is the platform’s core utility/governance/reward token. Available on App Store, Google Play, and Android, it boasts over 3 million users.
Key Highlights
All-in-One Gateway: Combines wallet, DeFi, SocialFi, task rewards, and DApp exploration into a seamless interface.
Engagement-Based Mining: No hardware needed — users mine simply by participating. Smart contracts and oracles ensure fair, precise rewards distribution.
Global Infrastructure: Cross-chain, fiat, L2 support; 300k+ users and 150k DAU; DAO-based governance and modular tech stack enable global adoption.
Current Stage
Utilizes multi-round presale with ascending pricing and structured community expansion. Already raised $638,680 in round 7. Supports ETH and BSC. Wallet connection is all it takes to participate.
Investment Logic
WOW EARN offers a low-barrier gateway to Web3 with a retention-growth flywheel through its app-based, engage-to-earn model. Its structured presale strategy filters loyal users while stabilizing token value and distribution. Overall, it has high mid-to-long-term investment appeal as a potential Web3 infrastructure entry point.
Conclusion
JuChain, with its low fees and high performance, is rapidly building a native app matrix. From DePIN (Butterfly) to Launchpads (YoloPad) and integrated Web3 apps (WOW EARN), it forms a diverse ecosystem foundation.
Butterfly stands out in DePIN with royal backing; DI builds decentralized AI infrastructure; YoloPad innovates launch dynamics; WOW EARN integrates finance and social. These projects showcase JuChain’s ability to empower developers and seize trends — offering investors multiple promising entry points.
