In the Year of the Dragon, the "dragon concept" is being speculated. Besides SILLY, what other dragon sons, grandsons, and eggs are there?

2024 is destined to be an extraordinary year for the cryptocurrency industry. There will be major updates or upgrades in the presidential election, halving, and multiple public chains. For Asians, 2024 is also a special year - the Year of the Dragon, the only mythical creature among the twelve zodiac animals. This is precisely the attribute that the cryptocurrency community, which favors cultural symbols, loves the most.

BlockBeats will list the dragon-related concept targets that have appeared in the market for readers' reference. In addition, BlockBeats reminds readers that investing in cryptographic assets based solely on concepts carries high investment risks, and readers should be cautious.
