This week brings several major token generation events (TGEs) across diverse sectors, including decentralized finance (DeFi), gaming, liquidity marketplaces, and decentralized exchanges (DEXs).

A TGE marks a significant milestone for cryptocurrency projects, involving the creation and distribution of tokens to investors, users, or the public. It often follows fundraising and product development, serving as a crucial step in launching a new token. Here’s an overview of the top TGEs to watch this week.

Ink Finance (QUILL)

Ink Finance, a DeFi engine designed for protocols, DAOs, and real-world assets (RWAs), has already made a strong impact. Following a $5 million private fundraising round, the public token offering raised $3.3 million, backed by Republic Capital, Draper Dragon, and Revere VC, among others.

“We’re unlocking the next chapter of collaborative DeFi,” said Ink Finance.

Meanwhile, before the TGE, the project said it collaborated with Ape Terminal, a launchpad known for its strong security and transparency, to ensure a seamless and safe Initial DEX Offering (IDO). Amid the TGE frenzy, also, the team has also cautioned users against counterfeit QUILL tokens, a common challenge in hyped markets.
