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.

6 hot takes for 2025 🧵
Hyperliquid's Outperformance May Be Over - @AvgJoesCrypto

On Dec. 30, 2023: 1 BTC = 396 SOL. A year later, 1 BTC = 493 SOL. Despite the 2024 buzz, SOL lagged BTC.

At $27B FDV, HYPE is:
- 1/4 of SOL's FDV.
- 1/2 of $COIN's MC.
- Equal to $FTT's peak FDV.

Hyperliquid will be a dominant narrative in 2025, but the market might have anticipated it in Q4.Image
VIRTUAL FDV to flip TAO FDV within three months - @0xSynthesis1

TAO has ~ $3.3M in emissions daily and will probably stay flattish in USD until dTAO fixes constant supply pressure.

Meanwhile more and more VIRTUAL continues to be locked in agent LPs and spent on inference.

The market has identified a new AI proxy and will re-rate accordingly.Image

$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2️⃣ Integrating decentralized energy resources into an outdated grid.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

Bear or Bull, Solana is accelerating.

But keeping up can feel "impossible", even for Toly or Raj.

Introducing solana.messari.io

All the answers you need - all in one link - no login required ⬇️ x.com/aeyakovenko/st…
Let's start with the table stakes - key network metrics:

- Transaction Fees
- Daily Transactions
- Active Addresses
- TVL, etc.

Those are must-haves. But alone they don't tell the whole story.

To make better decisions, the best analysts go beyond the numbers ⬇️
The Solana Portal's key updates offer a vetted and expertly curated history of Solana, along with ongoing developments, all in one place.

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.
