There is a category of projects in the crypto ecosystem that are worth paying attention to—those that have promised to launch but have yet to do so. Over the past year, projects like Dawn, Gradient, BlockMesh, KRAIN, Xenea, UNICH, KaiSar Nodes, Toggle, Hinkal, SPUR, HUB, ARI, Axie Infinity, CRED, POD, Synthelix, PHAROS, and 3DOS have all been in this category. Some are stuck due to technical issues, some have fallen into funding difficulties, and others may be waiting for regulatory windows. The fate of these projects reflects the current reality of the crypto market—it's easy to make launch promises, but actual implementation faces multiple challenges. Many community members are also tracking the latest developments of these projects to see who can finally launch successfully and who might fall behind completely. Have you heard of any other similar projects?

Damn, how long did it take to put this list together... It feels like every week there's a new project joining the "Missed Deadlines Club."

Here's another list of disappointments. It seems that the projects that were hyped the most at the beginning of the year haven't made any progress. Is Axie Infinity still around? Come on. Tired of hearing about funding difficulties; honestly, it just shows a lack of execution ability. I've long doubted these projects. After waiting so long, they're still a mystery. The projects that were hyped every day a year ago have all dispersed now. How are HUB and POD still alive? I've already forgotten about them. Honestly, it's good enough if these projects can survive this wave. Don't expect any get-rich-quick dreams.

Damn, half of the names on this list have already bored me to death. It was supposed to launch this year, right? --- I already sold off my Dawn and Gradient positions long ago. No time to play these projects' games. --- Honestly, chasing new projects now is just gambling. It's better to hold onto the ones already launched. --- I'm a bit curious whether BlockMesh will eventually go completely silent. It feels like they've almost run out of noise. --- I've heard the excuse of funding difficulties so many times. Honestly, no one truly believes in it anymore. --- Big projects like AXS can still delay, so don't expect much from smaller projects... --- Yeah, most of these promises have turned into nothing but air. It's time for everyone to wake up. --- Wow, no movement for over a year. It should have been delisted long ago. --- Is KaiSar Nodes also on the list? Then my previous expectations were really wasted. --- Honestly, it doesn't matter who can launch anymore. The key is not to get cut.

Wow, there are really quite a few projects that have run into trouble on this list. It feels like everyone is racing against time. It's already 2024, and I'm still waiting for news from Axie. I can't hold it together anymore. Funding difficulties sound nice, but it actually means no one believes they can deliver. I've been waiting eight months for Dawn, and now I just don't care anymore. This is the real crypto market—whitepapers are hyped up to the sky, but launch is still far off. The BlockMesh community group still keeps saying "soon" every day. Haha, I'm honestly exhausted. Bro, if you don't tell me which projects are truly reliable and have launched, I might become more interested. I've heard the "compliance window" phrase too many times; it basically means nothing. It's probably just a broken funding chain. Many of these projects follow the same old套路.

Uh... Half of these names are probably vaporware, honestly. --- Is BlockMesh still around? I thought it was dead long ago. --- Funding difficulties are real, technical issues are just an excuse, right? --- Axie Infinity is also on the list... this is outrageous. --- Who will be the next to fall? Betting 5 bucks. --- It's too difficult; it seems like very few of the promises can actually be delivered. --- Wait, UNICH is also on the list, I still have their token. --- That's why I only look at projects that are live; those with a story are usually a scam. --- Compliance window? Ha, that's the most used excuse.

This list hasn't moved in over a year... indicating that it's either a technical bottleneck or a black hole for funding. No matter how perfect the consensus mechanism is, it can't save execution.

Wow, as soon as this list came out, I laughed. More than half should have given up long ago. --- Another year of missed deadlines. I bet five bucks that Axie’s line will be delayed again. --- Why are there so many funding difficulties? It feels like the entire ecosystem is waiting for the right window... --- Tracking these projects is less effective than following those who are actually doing work. Don’t be brainwashed by promises. --- Honestly, I’ve been following BlockMesh. I’m still waiting for news... Is this the norm in Web3? --- Is it technical issues or funding issues? Anyway, it’s all a bottleneck. Investors should wake up. --- Hinkal also fell behind. I thought it was stable before. --- If none of them are launched, it indicates a problem with this track, not the projects themselves. --- Looking at this list, I realize how poor my choices have been... --- The compliance window is just an excuse. If you really want to do something, no window can stop you.
