Messari Hero Series #2

Crypto has improved leaps and bounds throughout 2021.

A lot of that credit is owed to the community and the anon builders that make up the ecosystem, but along with the release of #theses2022 we want to highlight 15 Crypto Heroes that have led the way.
Messari Hero Series 6/15

@KyleSamani

The man behind @multicoincap - the investment team who bet big on @solana and won. While devs were busy building the ecosystem, Samani was busy spreading the word to anyone who would listen. And boy, did they listen.

$21T is needed to transition the grid to clean energy by 2050 due to CO2 goals & rising demand.

Challenges:
1️⃣ Rapid, cost-effective capacity scaling.
2️⃣ Integrating decentralized energy resources into an outdated grid.

Navigate the DePIN Energy Sector with @dylangbane🧵 Image
Solar is now the world's cheapest energy source.

But, the fossil fuel-based grid isn't ideal for clean, decentralized energy sources like solar, wind, and batteries.

DePIN protocols can help:

⚡ Incentivize DER deployment

⚡ Enhance grid coordination via VPPs/DRPs

⚡ Tokenize DERs/carbon credits for better liquidity and transparencyImage
Global spending on solar now exceeds $500 billion annually, yet it's insufficient.

By 2030:
- Energy capacity spending must double.
- Electrification spending must triple.

We're running out of time, and DePIN is the fastest way to deploy the clean energy infrastructure needed. Image

Liquidity fragmentation across blockchains is one of DeFi's largest challenges, leading to high costs and low capital utilization.

@EverclearOrg introduces the first Clearing Layer to solve liquidity fragmentation. Let's explore what Everclear is and why it matters 🧵 Image
The Problem 🔎

Fragmented liquidity between chains leads to high costs & low capital utilization for solvers, market makers, & CEXs. Rebalancing is complex, costly, and often slow.

As the number of chains grows, so do rebalancing requirements. A better solution is needed.
What is Everclear? 🤔

Everclear (prev. Connext) is the first Clearing Layer - a decentralized network coordinating global liquidity settlement between chains. Through netting, Everclear reduces the cost and complexity of rebalancing liquidity between chains.

Exploring AI x Crypto 🤖

This sector has seen explosive growth, with numerous projects now valued over a billion dollars with $230M invested in July 2024 alone.

Let's dive into the intersection of decentralized AI and blockchain technology.
🧵⬇️
First, let's break down some key components in AI x Crypto:

1. Decentralized Compute Networks: Networks of GPUs for model training and inference.
2. Model Coordination Platforms: Incentivizing model development and specialized inference settings.
(continued)

3. AI Tools and Services: Marketplaces for AI models and services.
4. Apps: Consumer and enterprise products leveraging AI models.

Now that we understand the various components, the question remains: what is really going on at the intersection of AI and Crypto?
