Momentum on Buildpad (6 PM, October 27)

MMT is the native token of Momentum Finance, a DEX built on Sui, conducting a community sale via Buildpad with a target raise of $4.5 million. The sale runs from 6:00 PM on October 27 to October 28, 2025. KYC must be completed by October 25. BNB and SUI are supported. TGE is set for October 31, with full unlock at launch. Tier-1 participants (minimum $3,000 LP) have a target FDV of $250 million; Tier-2 targets $350 million. Refunds available on October 31 at 6:00 PM.

In 2023, Momentum raised $5 million in a seed round led by Jump. In March 2025, it secured $10 million in funding led by Varys Capital, with participation from the Sui Foundation. Despite increasingly cautious VCs, Momentum closed a strategic round at a $100 million valuation in June 2025, led by OKX Ventures, with Coinbase Ventures among others participating.

zkPass on Kaito (8 PM, October 27)

zkPass is building the Verifiable Internet—a decentralized oracle network based on zero-knowledge Transport Layer Security (zkTLS)—enabling users to generate cryptographic proofs from their private web data. It allows any application to securely verify facts from HTTPS sources without exposing personal information or modifying existing systems. The project launches via KaitoAI Capital Launchpad from 8:00 PM on October 27 to November 3, targeting a $2 million raise and a $100 million FDV. Participants must connect wallets, complete zkTLS proof, and stake KAITO to increase allocation, with 30% of tokens reserved for verified community members. 50% unlocks at TGE, the remaining 50% after three months. Minimum/maximum contribution: $1,000–$250,000.

In August 2023, zkPass raised $2.5 million in a seed round backed by Binance Labs, Sequoia China, and OKX Ventures. In October 2024, it raised $12.5 million in a Series A round at a $100 million valuation, with investors including dao5, Animoca Brands, and Flow Traders.

MegaETH on Sonar (9 PM, October 27)

MegaETH is a Layer 2 protocol launching a public sale via Sonar (through Echo), with a total supply of 10 billion tokens—500 million (5%) offered publicly. Payments accepted in USDT, with a per-person cap of $186,282 and a minimum purchase of $2,650. Starting price: $0.0001 (equivalent to a $1 million FDV); maximum price cap: $0.0999 ($999 million FDV).

In June 2024, MegaETH developer MegaLabs announced a $20 million seed round led by Dragonfly. In December that year, MegaETH raised another $10 million through the Echo platform.

FightFight on Holo (10 PM, October 27)

FIGHT is the official IP token for combat sports, built on BNB Chain and partnered with UFC. The sale begins at 10:00 PM on October 27, 2025, targeting $750,000 but already oversubscribed—raising over $15 million (2,099% of target). FDV stands at $150 million. TGE will occur after fundraising concludes; KYC is required for claiming. (Link: https://launch.holoworld.com/ico/fight)

The highlight is fan engagement: users claim Fight ID to earn Fighting Points through predictions, merchandise, and community rewards. As a "sports" token, it turns fans into on-chain owners, offers over-refund protection, and plans migration to Solana—ideal for sports-crypto enthusiasts focused on viral adoption and real-world integration.

LegionLegion on useTria is a merit-based crypto fundraising platform compliant with MiCA regulations, integrated with useTria for launch, expected to begin in November 2025 (exact date TBC). Raised $5 million in a seed round, reviving ICO transparency with emphasis on investor accountability and distribution via Kraken. Key features: on-chain merit scoring for allocations, empowering sustainable projects. For launch veterans, it's a regulated gateway to early deals, minimizing rug pulls through vetting—positioned as a leader in the 2025 ICO revival, ideal for compliant, high-yield farming.

Infinex on Sonar (November)

Infinex is a "new type of crypto app designed for humans," operating closer to "chain abstraction." Throughout the user experience, complex concepts like wallet addresses, cross-chain bridges, mnemonics, and gas fees are abstracted away—users can access DeFi-like applications seamlessly, just as they would CeFi products, without needing to understand underlying mechanics.

Founded by Synthetix creator Kain Warwick, Infinex raised $67.7 million in September 2024 through an NFT sale. Public buyers include Wintermute, Solana Ventures, Solana founder Anatoly Yakovenko, and Aave founder Stani Kulechov.

Potential launch via Sonar, expected to begin in November 2025 (exact date TBC). Kain revealed TGE is expected between late December and early January, with a Sonar pre-sale launching prior to TGE.

Beamable Network on Metaplex (November 6)

Beamable Network is a DePIN layer providing on-chain gaming infrastructure for Solana, aiming to transform how game backend infrastructures are built and operated. The project launch will happen via Metaplex with a scheduled pre-sale on November 6, 2025. It expands decentralized tools for developers, featuring Genesis revenue sharing and NFT integration.

In February 2025, Beamable closed a $13.5 million Series A round led by Bitkraft Ventures.
