The
worldwide acceptance of cryptocurrencies has resulted in the creation of many
crypto-driven projects. Without a doubt, the most prominent crypto project is
the Bitcoin project. However, many other crypto projects have enjoyed huge
success and attracted a large number
of users.

 

Microcap
projects are crypto projects with a token that has a small market
capitalization, usually under $50 million. These projects often aim to add
value to their users and create services that are needed. The tokens of these
projects also create opportunities for huge returns on investment when you
invest in them. However, they are also very risky investment choices.

 

This
article will review the top five micro cap crypto projects for the year 2021.
The tokens of these projects are among the crypto to
buy in 2021. The top five micro cap crypto projects include
projects like:

 

• Chainlink (LINK)
• Uniswap (UNI)
• Cardano ($ADA)
• Tron ($TRX)
• Ripple ($XRP)

 

Chainlink

Chainlink
is an oracle platform that was created in 2017. This micro-cap project was not
relevant until the company reached an agreement to become partners with Google
in 2019.

This
platform leverages the ethereum network to provide real-life data reports to
aid in the execution of smart contracts. This real-life data includes vital
information that is relevant to the terms and conditions of a smart contract.
Some of this data includes information about weather reports or stock prices.

 

The
token for the chainlink project has this symbol $Link. Since the chainlink
project uses the ethereum platform, their token functions as an ERC-20
crypto token that can be used on the ethereum network. At the
beginning of the year, the $link token increased in value from $11 up to a high
of $36.9. at the time of writing this article, the current price is set at
$31.76.

 

Uniswap

Currently,
Uniswap is one of the hottest decentralized exchanges in the crypto world.
Uniswap makes use of a newly developed trading system called an automated
liquidity protocol. The automated liquidity protocol encourages users of the
exchange to become liquidity providers.

 

In
line with the principles of decentralization, the Uniswap exchange does not
interfere with or control user funds. Instead, this exchange only acts as a
facilitator of trades on their platform.

 

For
most centralized exchanges, a traditional order book system is used to control
the liquidity pools. However, the liquidity of the On the Uniswap exchange, the
liquidity pools that run the coin swapping process are controlled by smart
contracts.

 

The
Uniswap token was released in September 2020. After the release of the token,
4000 UNI tokens were given out to users of the Uniswap token. Currently, the
token is listed on the Uniswap exchange and other exchanges like Bitfinex,
Coinbase Pro, Binance, Kucoin, Gemini, and Huobi. The UNI token reached an
all-time high of $31.50. However, at the time of writing this review, the price
of the UNI token is $28.11.

Cardano

The
Cardano blockchain was released in 2017 by Input Output Hong Kong (IOHK). The
company’s CEO is Charles Hoskinson, a co-founder of the Ethereum platform.

 

Like the Ethereum platform, the Cardano blockchain
is a decentralized blockchain platform. The Cardano
network is made up of two layers. The first layer is called the
Cardano Settlement Layer (CSL). This layer is used to care for transactions
that use the Cardano token (ADA).

 

The
second layer is the Control layer is still under development. The objective of
the Control layer is for creating smart contracts. Similarly, the Cardano
platform can be used as a medium of exchange.

 

At
the core of the Cardano network is the Ouroboros system. The Ouroboros is an
algorithm that makes use of the proof of stake system to mine coins on the
Cardano network. The Ouroboros system has been designed to reduce the rate of
time and energy consumption when mining coins on this network.

Tron

The
Tron foundation is the platform behind the Tron cryptocurrency (TRX). The Tron
network aims to provide cheap digital entertainment that allows users to share
digital content with ease. Similarly, this decentralized platform eliminates
middlemen, creating opportunities for content makers to post content on the
Tron ecosystem.

 

Currently, the Tron ecosystem is hosts more decentralized apps
than the Ethereum platform. Also, the project has partnerships with top
companies like Samsung, Poloniex, Opera, BitTorrent, and Swisscom Blockchain.

Ripple

The Ripple network serves as a digital payment platform for
different types of online transactions. It also has a digital token XRP that
can be used as a means of payment.

The XRP token was created by Ripple Labs to serve as a means
of payment on the network’s decentralized payment system. Instead of using a
blockchain, the ripple network is controlled by a network of validation nodes.
As result, this network can be used for many other purposes.

 

Like the Tron project, the ripple project has received backing
from top companies in the world. These companies include the likes of
Moneygram, JP Morgan, and HSBC.

The ripple token has reached an all-time high of $1.12,
while the all-time low is $0.8694. However, the current price of the token is
$0.9007.
