In general I guess Bitcoin (and early forks such as Litecoin, Dodgecoin or Bitcoin Cash) can be the things I'm looking for. Maybe Ethereum is also counting as one. But I am looking for pretty much every legit project which was built in public. New chain, smart contract platform, NFT project, token, tool, etc.
Curious to know.

Solana likely fits the description as well. Uniswap also comes to mind as a frontrunner among DEX protocols, spawning thousands of community forks.

I'm not sure how exactly you define "Build in Public," but there are literally thousands upon thousands of projects that are completely open source and have public commits. It's not that complicated to figure out which of them are the "most successful."

Many have been made through Ethereums smart contract and I think one of the most successful there is BnB and from the name itself, Build aNd Build.

Solana and Ethereum.

Toly on Solana is super active on socials and he ha been very vocal about all things solana. Vitalik on the other hand doesn't engage much but whenever he does, he often shares his thoughts about where ethereum is now and where it's heading to. I like hyperLiquid but I think Jeff and his team falls short in that regard.

Somehow I can say all of them are greatest projects I've ever seen. Specially Solana.

In general I guess Bitcoin (and early forks such as Litecoin, Dodgecoin or Bitcoin Cash) can be the things I'm looking for.

Sorry, I was thinking of the car "DODGE" while typing it.
And BNB, it's a corporate backed project but yes, most of it is being built in public.

Solana and Ethereum.

Toly on Solana is super active on socials and he ha been very vocal about all things solana.

I like hyperLiquid but I think Jeff and his team falls short in that regard.

I'm following Toly on X. He's really dedicated to being active on social and I also could talk to him through X mentions sometimes. So it is one of the best examples of what I was looking for.

What do you mean "build in public"? Like open source code or what? Or do you mean "fair launch" coins or tokens, that are either mineable or claimable without presale, like ico or something like that?

Most of them are open source so in my eyes, they are all build in public. Legitimacy of them however is in the eye of beholder, because that's just an adjective, and personally i wouldn't give that description to something like Bitcoin Cash or Dogecoin.

Dodge challenger? I like that car too.

And BNB, it's a corporate backed project but yes, most of it is being built in public.
And for the projects that have been built inside it, I can't recall of what had been the ones that became popular. All of them have the beginning and helped them with their head start.

Well Build in Public is not necessarily open source. Although software/crypto projects using this term are mostly open source. I can say what levels.io (Pieter Levels) does is building in public. He's not making his projects open source but he posts the prgress on X.

Not Dodgecoin but Dogecoin. It might be pronounced as dodgecoin but that's not the correct name of the coin.

Yeah, Challenger. Actually watching a youtube video about it at the same time and this made me type the name of the coin incorrectly.

BNB projects as far as I know, are mostly ETH projects which wanted to be done quicker and cheaper. This is what they have done the best in my opinion.
