Messari Hero Series

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.

🦸🏾‍♂️🦸🏻‍♀️👇
Messari Hero Series 1/15

@twobitidiot

Who else to start with but our Fearless Leader?

2021 has been a massive year for Ryan, nearly tripling the size of Messari while leading the charge of crypto advocacy in DC.

Messari Hero Series 2/15

@dfinzer

@opensea has been the talk of the town since 2021 began. NFTs have reshaped crypto and in turn, OpenSea has reshaped the way we trade and view art.

Messari Hero Series 3/15

@emiliemc

@coinbase has topped the app store multiple times this year, and for many investors it is their first introduction to crypto. Behind the scenes, Emilie has been leading the powerhouse exchange to glory.

Messari Hero Series 4/15

@stablekwon

When the SEC came knocking, Do Kwon knocked right back. Innovator, leader, creator, builder, the list goes on. Name a better face for DeFi.

Messari Hero Series 5/15

@cmsholdings

Nobody in crypto has more fun than the penguins, and they tend to go big with...everything. CMS and team may be the fastest and most responsive investors in crypto.

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. The Market History of NFTs
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. while the total market continues to rise, Art Blocks now dom
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. Total NFT secondary sales surpass $15 billion

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. Notional Finance Historic 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. Diagram for interactions through Notional Finance
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 liquid supply curve for NOTE tokens

1/ It took 6 months for @dydxprotocol's L2 offering to eclipse @coinbase in daily trading volumes.

dYdX recently shut down its L1 offering and is doubling down on perpetuals by expanding beyond its current 28 markets.

It is also one of the most liquid exchanges in crypto. Image
2/ Powered by @StarkWareLtd's StarkEx platform, @dydxprotocol is an app-specific rollup.

The code is customized to the needs of dYdX, and optimized to the extent that is possible.

What does this performance give you?

Everything you expect from the best CEXs, yet non-custodial. features dydx can offer non...
3/ In the last few weeks, daily volumes on @dydxprotocol alone are almost reaching $5B.

dYdX is quickly climbing the leaderboard in terms of open interest and is the only DEX to do so.

The relative open interest compared to other exchanges is indicative of its rising position. cumulative and daily volume...

1/ Liquid tokens have thousands of buyers and sellers, but NFT transactions requires a single buyer/seller––pointing to lower liquidity.

To solve this issue, projects focused on the financialization of NFTs are attempting to make NFTs as fungible (and liquid) as possible. NFT Financialization Stack
2/ The top four NFT liquidity protocols - @NFTX_, @NiftyMuseum, @uniclyNFT, and @fractional_art hold nearly $80M in combined TVL.

Unicly currently possesses the greatest market share with 43% of the total value locked.

NFTX leads NFT20 among liquidity pool protocols. The NFT Market Liquidity In...
3/ While both protocols have been live for over a year, @NFTX_'s V2 upgrade has already shown to be quite successful in accruing NFTs.

Conversely, @NiftyMuseum possesses more NFTs in its liquidity pools, however, these NFTs on average tend to be less valuable. NFTX Continues to gain more...
