2021 is proving to be another massive year for the blockchain space. Total Value Locked (TVL) in DeFi protocols has hit $45 billion with NFTs raking in over $200 million in sales in the past 30 days. As March gets into gear, there are several major blockchain launches scheduled that you definitely won’t want to miss and a few recent launches to keep on your radar.
From protocols to NFT platforms, the following projects represent some of the most promising teams, product-market fits, and communities. Many have launched or will be launching public sale rounds on various launchpads to offer an opportunity for public participants to support the projects. This means a chance to participate if you were too late to the private sale.
Here is the list (in no particular order) if the most promising blockchain launches this month.
DAFI Token Launch

DAFI’s protocol has been in development since 2018, and now its initial token launch is set for March 2021. The primary purpose of the project is to bring sustainability and inflation control to DeFi. Many DeFi protocols have struggled to manage hyperinflation via excess supply as they have sought to reward early adopters.
DAFI will link user adoption to a synthetic token called DFY, which gets released whenever DAFI is staked to a particular protocol. These synthetic tokens can be burned in exchange for DAFI. The number of synthetic units available is directly proportional to the expansion of the protocol using them. What this does is tie adoption incentives to the long-term growth of a project. DAFI is the first universal solution that enables inflation in blockchains to be tied to the demand for a token (via the synthetic DFY) rather than the supply.
DAFI will be launching their SHO (strong holder offering) on DAO Maker on March 17th with an initial price of $0.00333.

After completing its whitelist campaign with 10,000 sign-ups, Splyt is set to launch its MVP in March 2021. Splyt is a new protocol focused on decentralized e-commerce with a sustainable edge. The project employs smart contracts and tokens to offer database and search engine functionality for decentralized e-commerce retail.
Splyt enables asset listings to be tokenized, which in turn means that sellers can offer bounties to affiliates and other parties that help facilitate trade or transactions. Splyt is designed to replace rent-seeking intermediaries and bridge the gap between consumers and online retailers.
The dApp is scheduled for its mainnet launch in March 202. The minting of its native token, called SHOP, will also happen in March with a final IDO to be held on Paid Ignition.
