Crypto has improved leaps and bounds throughout 2021.
A lot of credit is owed to the community and the anon builders that make up the ecosystem, but along with the release of #theses2022 we wanted to highlight 15 Crypto Heroes that have led the way.
1/ While NFTs have existed for a long time, the market historically has been very small.
Early marketplaces like @opensea and @SuperRare grinded through a market that was mostly dominated by @ethereum until new blockchains began appearing.
2/ 2021 will go down perhaps most significantly as the year of the digital renaissance.
As new business models and monetization strategies were born, platforms like @niftygateway and @SuperRare dominated, offering artists a new format for monetizing their work.
3/ The NFT market has officially surpassed $15B in secondary sales combined across a variety of categories including gaming, PFPs (profile pics), virtual worlds, sports, and collectibles.
More importantly, while @ethereum leads, the future is growing more multichain by the day.
1/ @NotionalFinance is an @ethereum-based protocol which enables users to lend and borrow cryptoassets at a fixed rate via on-chain liquidity pools.
Notional recently launched its V2, and as a result protocol activity has exploded over the past week as it nears $1B in total TVL.
2/ Users can interact with the protocol as a borrower, lender, or liquidity provider (LP).
LPs are the most important as they capitalize liquidity pools with cTokens to act as the counterparty to all other lenders and borrowers.
In turn, they are rewarded with liquidity fees.
3/ The $NOTE token is used for operations within the protocol.
The total 100M token supply was allocated:
+ 50% to liquidity incentives
+ 23.6% to the team w/ 3-year vesting schedule
+ 19.78% to early investors w/ 3-year vesting
+ 6.62% to development grants & community building
The Messari Compound Financial Statements Dashboard!
This dashboard is updated in real-time and allows users to dive deeper into the key metrics and data that were used to create our recent quarterly report - the State of Compound Q3 2021.
2/ This dashboard was created by Messari Analyst(s) and commissioned by @compoundfinance, a member of Messari Hub.
It was created to provide deeper insight into the data and visualizations used to assess the micro/macro statuses of the protocol, as well as token parameters.
