Messari Hero Series #3

Crypto has improved leaps and bounds throughout 2021.

A lot of that credit is due 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 11/15

@katie_haun

Being a former federal prosecutor, @Coinbase board member, and now General Partner at @a16z’s mammoth crypto fund, Katie Haun is a powerful individual who may be key to a breakthrough to DC in crypto regulation.

Messari Hero Series 13/15

@HesterPierce

Commander of Crypto’s Night’s Watch. Her voice is a welcome source of self-awareness, competence, and restraint emanating from DC. It’s the voice of someone who’s done her homework, and works to find solutions.

@_tessr

After leading the engineering team at @Interchain_io, Tess recently switched over to @Twitter to lead their newly formed crypto team. There are few in this space with more innovative and creative minds.

@arcalinea

Decentralization is the future, and that includes social media. With the brain power that @twitter has assembled with Jay leading BlueSky, we expect a big shift in social media in 2022.

A big thank you to all of our Heroes for making this year as great as it was, and we're excited to see what you all do in 2022!

DePIN continues to grow 🌐

With fundraising volume up 296% year over year, the total market cap grew 400% to $20 billion.

It’s Time for a #DePIN Sector Update 🧵⬇️
1/ Since our last Sector Map, we’ve added four DePIN sub-sectors:

• Decentralized Gaming Infrastructure (DeGIN) - Compute Network
• AI Data Layer - Bandwidth Network
• Robotics - Mobility Network
• Manufacturing - Mobility Network Image
2/ Seven of the top eight DePIN protocols by market cap are Digital Resources Networks (DRNs), worth a combined $12.2 billion.

@Helium is the only Physical Resource Network (PRN) that made the top 8. Image

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?

1/ The crypto space's evolution has necessitated stronger server infrastructure to meet the increasing performance requirements of blockchains and their applications.

@Old_Samster dives into why advanced physical infrastructure is crucial.👇🧵
@Old_Samster @Filecoin @sphere_labs @akashnet_ 2/ Newer chains like @avax and @Solana demand significantly higher processing power compared to @Ethereum.

This has driven validators towards being hosted in data centers, given their increased demand for processing power, low latency, and high uptime.
3/ Decentralized storage networks (DSNs) and compute networks face similar challenges.

Ordinary people contributing idle storage space isn't enough for commercializing DSNs. Data centers become indispensable for low latency and exceptional uptime.

1/ Scalability is a key factor in the crypto space, with the modular approach gaining popularity. However, @Solana has taken a contrarian stance.

@kelxyz_ explains how @jump_firedancer, a validator client developed by @jump_ aims to enhance Solana's monolithic approach.🧵 Image
2/ @jump_firedancer's first milestone, "fd_quic," demonstrated impressive transaction propagation throughput of 1M transactions per second (TPS) in initial performance tests.

But there's more work to be done to achieve the full potential of Firedancer.
3/ If successful, @jump_firedancer could unlock blue ocean markets for the @Solana ecosystem by offering unprecedented throughput, composability, and low costs.

However, challenges in execution, timing, and competition pose risks to its adoption and success. Image

1/ In a bear market, it's crucial to focus on long-term market developments and product announcements to understand what may support or drive new waves of app development.

@Saypien_, @Old_Samster, & @chasedevens dive into this week's key developments and product announcements.🧵 Image
2/ Aligned, a high-performance compute provider, predicts the zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) market to reach $10B by 2030.

ZKPs verify computations and ensure privacy in transactions. #Ethereum is expected to capture 66% of the market. Image
3/ @LensProtocol, a decentralized social graph protocol, introduced Momoka to decrease transaction costs and improve stability.

Lens has seen a 75% decrease in transaction costs, making consumer applications more viable. Momoka is a game-changer for building foundational layers. Image
