Why It Matters: DART Inu describes itself as a Metaverse token on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) that was inspired by NASA’s double asteroid redirection test program with Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk-led SpaceX.

 The project behind the token says it will run a Metaverse world, Play to Earn (P2E) game known as Doge Asteroid Redirection Test.

Witcher Inu, which describes itself as the “Inu Slayer,” says it will bring a decentralized version of Gwent (Witcher Card Game) to the Ethereum Blockchain.

Flokifam describes itself as a Floki “meme token with a suite of infinite decentralized finance (DeFi) services.” The coin is built on the BSC.

Baby Floki Billionaire is a token launched on BSC that describes itself as the son of cryptocurrency Floki Inu (CRYPTO: FLOKI).
