1/ I would like to share the DeFi Map creation story and why my @HorizontalHQ team have decided to categorize more than 500 protocols

2/ Going forward, this is the second version of our DeFi Map and some of the protocols we've announced in the last couple of weeks are missing as well

3/ For the first time I hit a problem to keep track of the protocols I was interested in. This all led me to the point where I started working on categorization. In the first version of the DeFi Map, about a 100 protocols on the Ethereum ecosystem was superficially touched upon

4/ Eventually, I decided to share this work on Reddit and test my hypothesis of not being the only one who finds it difficult to work with protocols without categorization into sectors

5/ And to my great surprise, many people liked the first version of the DeFi Map, but here a great credit goes to my co-worker @TalgatNurdinov, who develops the @HorizontalHQ products designs. I consider Talgat one of the best designers in the blockchain industry

6/ He is also an incredibly humble and sincere person. His design of the first version of the DeFi Map is clear and concise. As a result, our work together was highly praised by the @ethereum community on reddit

7/ In the second version of the DeFi Map, we studied over 350 protocols and decided that our categorization would perfectly complement the market feature that was released in the 0.19 versions of Unstoppable Wallet

8/ I would like to mention that with each release we will add more protocols to our categorization and maybe we will do a blockchain split in the near future

9/ As an example, it would be interesting to see an overall picture of the @Polkadot & @avalancheavax ecosystem and get a closer look at each protocol on their blockchains

10/ The DeFi market is changing extremely fast, with a bunch of game-changing protocols popping up every week. And if you want to keep up with the market and stay up to date, download the @UnstoppableByHS, subscribe to our social networks and tell your friends about us!
