Gate Research: This week, four projects — Recall, GPUnet, Superform Labs, and Soul Labs — are offering users opportunities to engage with the Web3 ecosystem. Recall, a decentralized intelligence network, is incentivizing users with points to help build its AI knowledge-sharing platform in its early stages. GPUnet is developing a decentralized GPU compute network, and its "Road to TGE" campaign rewards users for contributing computing power and participating in community building. Superform Labs aims to create a cross-chain yield marketplace, allowing users to earn points through deposits and referrals. Soul Labs, as a cross-chain liquidity layer, is running an incentivized testnet to encourage users to explore its cross-chain lending features and earn future tokens. These projects represent some of the most promising directions in Web3 and, being in their early phases, present potential airdrop opportunities for early participants.
