ICOs & Top Coins to Watch FRAG, TAIX & PENGU, SEI, ARB, SYRUP – week’s trends are liquid restaking, AI-focused solutions, DeFi infrastructure, and meme coins. Upcoming IDOs include Fragmetric on July 1 and TAIX AI on July 7, while last week’s top performers were led by PENGU +55.3%, followed by SEI +49.7%, ARB +28.6%, and SYRUP +26.6%.

FRAG by Fragmetric
The list begins with a traditionally infrastructure-focused DeFi solution – Fragmetric. This liquid restaking protocol deployed on Solana is designed to create “restaking-based security finance” within the LRT ecosystem. The project enables native Solana staking assets to be used as derivatives in various DeFi products, remaining within a single network.
A key distinction from Ethereum-based solutions is Fragmetric’s emphasis on high throughput and low transaction costs enabled by Solana. Core components of the platform include the FRAG token, integration with DePIN, and custom validation mechanisms through an architecture called LRT Kernel. Fragmetric also emphasizes that it is a modular platform capable of supporting independent staking systems and consensus mechanisms within a shared security layer.

TAIX by TAIX AI
Things get even more interesting with the next project, which appears to tap into several major trends at once. Specifically, it combines AI integration with blockchain-based content distribution and DeFi mechanics.
By the way, AI is already deeply integrated with blockchain and crypto. If you aren’t aware, I highly recommend our guide on AI in Cryptocurrency Trading: Technical Review & Market Capabilities.
More precisely, TAIX AI is an AI infrastructure designed for the real-time generation and distribution of streaming content. At the core of the architecture is the TAIX Agent – a module deployed on top of streaming platforms that can:
- Analyze live gameplay
- Generate voice and text commentary
- Display contextual information
- Trigger in-game interactions
The agent uses pre-trained models customized for specific game genres and audience behavior patterns, and it also accesses verified off-chain information via API integration.
Another key component of the infrastructure is TOY Wallet, the native wallet in the TAIX ecosystem, designed for:
- Instant microtransaction processing
- Token distribution
- Reward delivery (watch-to-earn, participate-to-earn)
All transactions within the ecosystem are conducted using the TAIX Token, which functions as a gas token, subscription mechanism, agent customization tool, and governance utility in the user economy.
Also, its architecture includes notable features. TAIX is built as an EVM-compatible solution, allowing easy integration of both the token and the agent into many DeFi platforms. A separate layer handles NFT modules, enabling customization of the agent’s appearance and voice, as well as integration of in-game collectibles. Altogether, TAIX presents a highly ambitious, promising, and timely concept – a modular social-AI platform designed to scale within Web3 and expand through DAO governance, custom scripts, and API-based extensions.

Top Tokens of the Week
Over the past week, market activity was distributed across several directions, from meme coins to ecosystem and infrastructure-level solutions.
The most notable spike occurred in meme-oriented and socially viral tokens, where especially PENGU, but also FARTCOIN, SPX6900, and WIF.
At the same time, demand remains stable for high-performance L1s, reflecting interest in scalability, alternative VMs, and fast transaction execution. These are represented by SEI, built for order books and trading, and Aptos, which uses a Move-based architecture with parallel processing.
L2 solutions also showed growth, reflecting interest in reducing fees and expanding Ethereum’s throughput. This is shown by the growth of ARB (Arbitrum), whose ecosystem remains one of the most mature in the optimistic rollups.
DeFi infrastructure solutions also hold their position, driven by interest in liquidity routing and institutional lending. This is shown by Jupiter (JUP), which provides swap aggregation on Solana, and SYRUP, which represents the structured lending segment.
Finally, cross-chain architectures and reliable market data via oracle systems show growth as seen in the case of PYTH.
- PENGU +55.3%, $0.01349, volume $653.6M
- SEI +49.7%, $0.3012, volume $370.0M
- ARB +28.6%, $0.3561, volume $887.5M
- SYRUP +26.6%, $0.5714, volume $84.8M
- JUP +24.9%, $0.4507, volume $58.1M
- FARTCOIN +21.4%, $1.13, volume $143.5M
- SPX6900 +20.3%, $1.29, volume $55.4M
- APT +18.5%, $4.81, volume $162.7M
- PYTH +17.9%, $0.1048, volume $85.9M
- WIF +17.2%, $0.8366, volume $303.7M

Conclusion
As we can see Web3 ecosystem and DeFi infrastructure projects regularly offer new solutions, and their tokens take their place among the top performers. Gaming projects and meme coins also almost always occupy a certain place and take their share of popularity, but sometimes turn out to be far from the forefront. And AI projects and tokens sometimes take the top positions, promising something impactful, and sometimes don’t appear in the top at all.
I would say that from week to week, we continue to observe how the market becomes more mature and strives for greater efficiency and seamlessness of operations and infrastructure. Stay tuned to receive the latest updates on key events and opportunities in crypto, blockchain, and DeFi.
