Five Incredible Altcoins to Watch out for in 2020 and 2021

Wayne Jones • Jul 23, 2020

Since the inception of Bitcoin in 2008, there has been a spike in the hype surrounding cryptocurrencies and blockchain. Though Bitcoin took dominance in the market up to now, more cryptocurrencies come into the market every day, with now over 5750 digital currencies circulating the crypto world.


A new era is in play for safer, sustainable, and profitable solutions for financial and investment spheres. More cryptocurrencies mean more options for multitudes fascinated by this dimension, which proves the typical notion that only big players can trade in crypto wrong.


In such a surplus, it is vital to note which cryptos are worth tracking and those that could end up as a lousy selection. This article will shed light on some of the coins foretelling avid capabilities and their key features, so stay tuned.


Apollo Currency (APL)

Apollo currency was launched in November 2017. It runs through Hermes blockchain technology with fast transaction speeds at 1-2 seconds. It is a viable competitor in the market, integrating the tech of top cryptocurrencies. Currently, it has a market cap of $14,191,638.


Several exchanges have listed Apollo, including, HitBTC, Bitmart, DigiFinex, Exrates, Netcoins, Altilly, and Sistemcoin, to name a few. Furthermore, it contains a variety of wallets incorporating the IOS wallet, Android wallet, OSX wallet, Bitfi hardware wallet, Windows wallet, and Linux wallet.


Anonymity is a crucial aspect of the Apollo currency as users can trade and send coins amongst each other hence deploying a sense of confidentiality. Apollo contains a unique feature (Olympus Protocol) that hides a user’s IP encouraging privacy. Apollo allows users to send private transactions to a specific address. The transactions are broken down into several parts and sent to an end-user later on without leaving any traces.


Apollo frames its system as ever-growing in size and speed with more users joining the network thanks to technologies such as sharding (Apollo Currency was the first to develop and implement database level sharding, completely eliminating blockchain bloat), node time synchronization, and adaptive forging. It goes against most that slow down with increased traffic. 


DIVI

DIVI is a Proof of Stake project launched in September 2018 with a current market cap of $122,139,403. DIVI has a slogan of “Crypto Made Easy,” focusing on offering users a user-friendly environment with minimal errors.


Its blockchain feature records every transaction information and opens up opportunities for accessing usernames together with user’s photos. Other features that catch the eye include the utilization of atomic swapsmulti-coin wallet, and an advanced governance system.


The system contains a lottery rewards system that randomly selects winners after the productions of new blocks. It also runs through a multi-layered masternode network with a straightforward set up using its MOCCI system. Nodes run through the system over time, and users get payments for continuously doing that.


Users can further earn staking rewards through PoS algorithms. However, to get this income, users have to deposit at least 10,000 Divi, have sound internet connectivity, and leave their wallets open. The platform is listed in various exchanges, including Bitrue, Bithumb Global, Stex, Crex24, and Altilly, while trading against BTC, USDT, and XRP.


Kava

Kava is a DeFi lending system that seeks to collateralize a user’s assets for different digital currencies. The project under Kava labs supporting cross-chain CDP has a market cap of $78,559,890, trading at above $2.000.


The platform uses two servicing criteria; Kava tokens used for voting and ownerships, and a USDX stable coin meant for digital assets collateral.


Based on governance, Kava owners get exclusive rights to vote on the criteria for changing the blockchain protocol. Through Kava, users can move assets and currencies to different blockchains through a swap feature.


Kava powers its system by the Proof of Stake protocol that allows users to stake their tokens and act as block validators. Kava listings are on a few exchanges, including Binance, Kraken, Gate.io, and Bilaxy trading against BNB, BTC, and USDT. Besides, it has great support from other major players, including Ripple and Cosmos.


Flits Coin (FLS)

FLS is Proof of Stake coin powering the Flits app, a Blockworks company production, currently trading at a market price of around $0.8000. It is known for its DeFi features proving to be the next big step in DeFi. The coin combines decentralized masternodes hosting and cold staking to provide users with the ultimate passive earning experience. Its market cap sits at $1,800,933.


FLS has seen listings on exchanges such as Oodlebit, Stex, Crex24 and Birake, trading against BTC or USDT. FLS goes against all the odds remaining with a steady market value since its inception, unlike most cryptos, which are massively volatile. FLS stakeholders are faithful to putting trust in the Flits ecosystem, proving as a significant step to its success.


Flits is enthusiastic about the security of its customers’ assets. The Flits app takes your wallet everywhere you go giving users full control over their coins with the team having no access to funds and keys. FLS has a swap feature facilitating exchange with other coins on the network according to customers’ choices. Furthermore, you can spend the currency to buy goods and services wherever you go.


ChainLink (LINK)

The DeFi-based coin has received a lot of hype in the news lately, holding a place among the top ten cryptocurrencies. Trading at $7.60 at the time of writing, LINK has a market cap of $2,659,980,734. The coin working under the ChainLink decentralized oracle network aims to join smart contracts with real-world data for increased efficiency.


Nodes in the system get rewards for data they provide while earning themselves larger contracts for legit information and losing tokens for inaccurate information. The smart contracts get support from the Ethereum blockchain; hence, oracles connected to the network.


LINK listings are on over 50 exchanges globally, including Binance, Kraken, OKEx, Coinbase pro, Bitmax, Bithumb, Bilaxy, and DigiFinex, mention but a few. The coin trades against some coins, including BTC, ETH, BNB, USD, USDT, BUSD, and BCH. Safe to say, the future is bright for the currency in the coming days.


Conclusion

These are a few of the coins on the same track with a rise in cryptocurrency innovations and adoptions. Increasing demand in crypto trade invokes a simultaneous increase in the number of coins entering the market. Though some are disappointing and linked to major Ponzi schemes, others show the need to have cryptos in our daily lives.



Although some of the coins mentioned earlier are not the top trader’s choice, they show great potential in the market for days to come. All of them hold a high percentage of ROI, a nearly limitless supply of their coins, liquidity, and sustainability. Time will tell where they fall in the coming trades as far as cryptocurrencies are concerned.

MAOCAT , the first cat-themed memecoin on Ethereum, has started its presale, offering over 60% of the $MAO token supply. In a rare feat, the project has already raised more than $300,000, earning the memecoin a standout reputation before its much-anticipated launch.  MAOCAT is an up-and-coming project seeking to reshape the DeFi space and redefine NFT collecting. The self-proclaimed "first cat memecoin on Ethereum" is at its forefront as a disruptive force in a sector dominated by dog-themed and frog-themed projects. However, MAOCAT is more than a memecoin. The project has ambitious plans to develop an entire ecosystem, including staking functions, NFTs, an NFT marketplace, and various decentralized applications (dApps). Its growing list of future DeFi functions and applications will be available in the emerging Web3 landscape, offering users numerous opportunities at the dawn of the "era of cats." The ongoing presale for $MAO coins runs across 10 phases, allowing interested investors to purchase the token at a lower cost than its post-launch price. The latter may increase substantially, considering the project has already attracted considerable interest from memecoin enthusiasts and casual coin collectors. The team has put up for sale 60% of the 5 billion MAOCAT token supply spread across the 10 phases. The 1st Phase has already sold 66.27% of the 1,300,000 $MAO (+ 20% bonus), raising nearly 115 ETH. Crypto enthusiasts can easily purchase the token by connecting their wallets and paying with ETH for the desired amount of $MAO. Holding $MAO tokens gives users multiple benefits within the rapidly developing MAOCAT ecosystem. Firstly, they don’t have to pay Buy or Sell taxes on transactions. The only fees they will have to pay go toward marketing (3%), the liquidity pool (3%), and development (2%). Moreover, they can access rewards from staking, participate in the governance structure, and receive NFT token compensation. The presale for $MAO tokens ends in a little over 47 days, with the project burning any remaining unsold tokens. Early adopters have the chance to support an innovative project that has built a robust and loyal following from the beginning. About MAOCAT MAOCAT is an Ethereum-based, cat-themed memecoin aiming to make the feline a leading memecoin in a dog and frog-dominated memecoin landscape. The cat is probably the internet’s cult character, especially considering it is among the top-trending keywords in animal searches on Google. The MAOCAT project seeks to combine its popularity with a growing DeFi ecosystem full of lucrative opportunities for its users. MAOCAT plans to expand shortly, incorporating an exclusive collection of 10,000 MAOCAT NFTs tradeable in the in-house MAOCAT NFT Marketplace. Other features include a farming platform (MAOCAT SWAP) and play-to-earn MAOCAT games. The project will announce new features and developments within its ambitious roadmap soon. Currently, the team is focusing on the ongoing presale off to a successful start and quickly building a significant following.

Wellchain , a revolutionary mobile super app that is changing healthcare coordination through artificial intelligence and blockchain technology, designed to simplify care coordination. This software as a service (SaaS) utilizes blockchain technology and offers a number of features such as telemedicine, team communications, remote monitoring, scheduling, alerts, reports, reminders and self-tasking functions.  The app comes in two versions - one for caregivers and one for patients - both of which can be easily integrated on the backend. Among the innovations, I'd note the ability to quantify care by assigning a severity score to a patient and tracking their progress or deterioration with a Change of Condition Index. Wellchain believes that the future lies in decentralization, including a segmented Internet and file storage. The project is backed by one of the industry's leading startup platforms, NFPad.io, and has partnered with Unigrid.io's leading infrastructure engineers. Through the project's features, actionable information can be provided to healthcare providers, helping to improve resource allocation and institutional efficiency. The app is designed for patients, hospitals, and healthcare providers. Wellchain aims to reduce healthcare costs by improving care coordination and incentivizing patient compliance through gamification. Wellchain will save at least 15% of healthcare costs globally (equating to $1.2 trillion annually) and improve patient outcomes by 15%. The value of a Wellchain token is directly related to the production (success) of the company. If a company is successful, 10% of all tokens are burned, resulting in low supply and high demand. Token holders can also vote on important decisions including project funding, token utility expansion, and governance rules. Active membership in the community is rewarded with WELLCHAIN tokens through a giveaway, which is 5% of the tokens. Patients receive attractive incentives (paid by the payer) for adhering to a certain treatment plan, and still incentivizes patient compliance while promoting active community participation. The blockchain uses customized NFTs to easily and efficiently track compliance. NFTs are matched monthly with paper rewards based on the level of compliance. Wellchain has pioneered the use of NFTs as a revolutionary incentive mechanism. On the site, patients can gamify their journey by participating in contests and competitions using NFTs, incentivizing healthy habits and a sense of accomplishment. Patients are rewarded for active participation and adherence to treatment plans. These unique digital assets act as tangible proof of a patient's commitment to their health, which they can exchange for fiat money. By gamifying healthcare with NFT incentives, Wellchain not only motivates patients, but also establishes a direct link between compliance and valuable rewards. The team commits to: continuously improve the functionality and utility of the token, expand the appeal and utility of the token globally, and regularly disclose the progress of funded projects and their overall impact. The WELLCHAIN token is a native token of the Wellchain ecosystem, WELLCHAIN serves a dual purpose in the ecosystem, acting as both a utility token and a management token. This versatility of the WELLCHAIN token contributes to the smooth operation and growth of the Wellchain platform. Oh, and right now you can get a 50% discount before it's too late! This is an exclusive whitelisting bonus. To whitelist, send an email with your government-issued ID to the project. Pre-sale of the WELLCHAIN token has started and runs through the end of May. So with this project you can not only get rewards, but also be healthy to make even more money on the crypto market! With Wellchain you will have iron health and a big bank account!
