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.
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.
The voice behind Uncommon Core. Zhu has had quite the year, educating thousands through his podcast, Twitter, and more. With his massive following and 3AC team behind him, 2022 could be his biggest year yet.
Dan was the force behind the @Uniswap v3 automated market maker, among other innovations, and helped to develop the research team behind multi-billion dollar investment fund @paradigm.
Dave joined @paradigm in January and since then has authored/co-authored six impressive papers that could bring larger and more sophisticated investors to DeFi markets. Definitely one to watch for 2022.
@AxieInfinity's success has catapulted an entire new genre (crypto gaming) and subgenre (P2E games) into relevance, and has given millions of bankless users an opportunity to earn a living.
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 🧵
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.
