Not sure if underrated, but I really enjoy "The Morning Paper" https://blog.acolyer.org/

Reviews CS papers and explains them in a way that is surprisingly easy to understand

I like 'This week in blockchain research' by ZKCapital. I've found some nice papers and the abstracts show where cryptocurrency research is going.
