- Smart contracts obtain secure off-chain data access through Chainlink via decentralized oracle services.
- Filecoin creates a decentralized storage system through blockchain technology and its token issuance mechanism which serves developers and end users.
- IoT device connectivity through Helium occurs through its Hotspots network where Hotspot operators receive payment in HNT tokens.
Theta Network presents video stream and AI workload and content distribution solutions through its decentralized infrastructure system. The network operates using two tokens: THETA serves for governance functions together with stake functions whereas TFUEL fulfills transaction needs. The Video API together with EdgeCloud operates as decentralized computing infrastructure and the Edge Network enables video delivery for developers and media companies to access cost-effective solutions.
Chainlink(LINK): Powering Smart Contracts with Real-World Data
Current price:$12.48
Market cap:$8.2B
The Chainlink network functions as a decentralized oracle system to merge smart contracts with data from real-world sources and APIs as well as payment platforms. The protocol started operations in 2017 with the goal to offer tamper-proof and precise data services which blockchain applications require across different networks. Several independent node operators and developers within the Chainlink network protect essential data feeds needed by smart contracts to operate decentralized transactions.
Filecoin(FIL): Decentralized Storage for the Web3 Era
Current price:$0.8831
Market cap:$883.83M
The Filecoin platform operates as an open-source network which delivers decentralized cloud storage functions. Inside its role as an incentive system for IPFS Filecoin enables peer-to-peer trading of storage capacities across a marketplace. The blockchain-based platform uses proof-of-replication together with proof-of-spacetime to function. FIL stands as the token which fuels all transactions together with service operations within the Filecoin network.
Helium(HNT): Wireless Network for IoT Devices
Current price:$2.90
Market cap:$521.4M
Helium supports low-power IoT devices through a decentralized wireless infrastructure. Using Hotspots—devices combining blockchain mining and wireless capabilities—users contribute to the network and earn HNT tokens. The project addresses limitations in traditional IoT infrastructure, promoting global device connectivity.
Theta Network(THETA): Web3 Media and AI Infrastructure
Current price:$0.7340
Market cap:$734.04M
Theta Network offers decentralized infrastructure for video streaming, AI workloads, and content distribution. It includes a dual-token system: THETA for staking and governance, and TFUEL for transactions. The Edge Network and upcoming EdgeCloud enable decentralized computing and video delivery, while the Video API provides cost-efficient solutions for developers and media firms.
