#ProjectCrypto Some cryptocurrency projects started as… jokes — Dogecoin was created as a meme and now has billions in market capitalization. There is even a Toilet Paper Token, created as a satire during the pandemic. Ethereum introduced "smart contracts" that execute themselves, and one of them — The DAO — led to a serious hard fork in 2016. In 2020, the Yearn Finance project launched without tokens reserved for the founder — everything went to the community. The famous ICP project from Dfinity raised 100 million dollars before most people understood what it was. Some NFTs were sold for more than works by Picasso. And projects like Helium pay users for sharing their internet connection.
