Mostly are defi projects. There was a recent project but just like OP many investors missed to invest to it because it wasnt hyped so much while its still on the ICO. Name of the project is POOLZ. It might just be what OP is looking for because as holder, you can also stake the token.
Projects today are mostly just listed on Uniswap,mitsmeasy to just do it there and it gives chance for users to earn through liquidity.
Few projects started their journey on uniswap and became fully successful later, just because a project get listed on Uniswap doesn't mean it should be underestimated, I still remember YOUC in 2020, it delivers unexpectedly even when it was listed on very low exchanges including uniswap
dont forget that most defi platforms have no working application in the market. if you will noticed, a lot of them are in beta stage. i dont think they will ever get out of beta. so that's my issue with DeFis, only few platforms have working application. a lot of them are merely manipulated in uniswap. i am sure most of these defi tokens will die very soon. once the hype is over, we will see that one by one, those defi projects will exit from the stage.
wont suggest any project, whether defi or ieo or ico, it is the responsibility of the investor to check the potential of those projects.
