When you're unsure what to look at, you can actually start from the big picture and go down to the smaller details.

Starting with Polygon @0xPolygon, the leading L2 project, temporarily focus your attention here. It is said that big trees provide shade, and these three projects are all jokingly called Polygon @0xPolygon's "children" or "mainline," now all eager to move forward on the TGE path, ready to burst out. Let's see who will be the first to stand out.

Sentient @SentientAGI, Miden @0xMiden, Billions @billions_ntwk all rely on the Polygon @0xPolygon ecosystem. Although their directions differ, they are all working hard.

『 Billions: The "Pass" for On-Chain Identity Moments 』

Billions @billions_ntwk has finally separated from Polygon Labs and is fully betting on ZK privacy verification.
The lineup behind the 35 million USD funding is impressive, with Polychain and Coinbase's involvement indicating capital's focus on the PoU track.

The current core is data accumulation. The moat built by Billions @billions_ntwk's 2.3 million real users and over 900 partners has taken shape.
Although the first snapshot of Earn Power is set, during the final window before Q1 TGE, the continuous operation of the points system remains the best way for ordinary users to obtain their share of the 10 billion token supply.

『 Sentient: Community Breakthrough in Open AGI 』

Sentient @SentientAGI raised 85 million USD, with a16z leading the investment. Sentient @SentientAGI's ambition is clearly more than just an AI project; it aims to build community-owned AGI infrastructure.
Recently, SERA-Crypto beat proprietary models in financial benchmarking, demonstrating the practical value of open-source stacks combined with distributed computing power.

@SentientAGI's approach of bringing model fingerprint robustness into IEEE-level academic halls is very hardcore.
The Q1 lock-in for TGE and an expected FDV of over 1.5 billion USD are not low, but under the high-frequency narrative of "AI+Crypto," the landing of GRID network and .agent stack may support the vision of a "decentralized OpenAI."

『 0xMiden: The Final Piece of Programmable Privacy 』

Also originating from Polygon's mainline, Miden @0xMiden takes a "geek route," integrating local computation with STARK proofs.
The hybrid architecture cleverly resolves the contradiction between privacy and concurrency, leaving only verification on-chain.

Currently, @0xMiden's focus is on the Q1 mainnet sprint. The reward announcement on January 6 (refer to the official tweet from @0xMiden) will be a key information point, clearly telling the market how to navigate this last three-month activity window.
In the context of increasingly important compliant stablecoins and private assets, Miden @0xMiden offers not just technology but also the core shield for the 2026 crypto defense battle. To seize the privacy infrastructure dividends, keep a close eye on the upcoming developments.
