@MetisDAO: A Diamond in the Rough of #ethereum L2s

🧵 #Metis / $Metis
1/ @MetisDAO is an extremely ambitious project that seeks to build a $ETH L2 with EVM Equivalence and higher decentralization than other L2s
2/ @MetisDAO started as a hard fork of @optimismPBC

Andromeda, the L2 mainnet, was implemented in Mid November, and is very impressive relative to other L2s by using parallel sequencers that allow for infinite scalability (theortically) unlike other optimistic roll ups
3/ $METIS has a <1 second transaction finality compared to Optimism which is much longer

I have yet to experience as near instant transactions as Andromeda across all alt L1 and L2 chains
4/ Transaction costs are $2-5, currently

Even better, the launch of IPFS technology which will drive transaction cost to a few cents

Once storage layer is implemented with partners @memo_labs and @myelnet
5/ Optimistic Rollups have a 7-day withdrawal to L1

Metis has a 7-minute withdrawal period using the @CelerNetwork Andromeda-Ethereum bridge

@zhusu mentioned this issue on the Uncommon Core podcast that sending 3k ETH on Arbitrum took a week
6/ @MetisDAO has a strong value proposition over other L2 solutions and the market has responded skyrocketing $METIS to 5th in TVL

Even almost having more TVL than its parent @optimismPBC
7/ $METIS has a long way to grow to reach @0xPolygon

$MATIC trades at 3x TVL while $METIS is 1x
8/ The ecosystem is growing everyday
9/ $METIS DeFi is growing quickly. @netswapofficial has $189mm TVL with ~100% 7d% since the $NETT farm fair launch
10/ @MetisDAO is building NO-CODE integration via smart contract templates known as the Polis platform

This helps developers with zero blockchain knowledge launch smart contracts, resulting in fast development of contracts built securely and efficiently
11/ And to help grow the ecosystem even more on top of NO-CODE integration, @MetisDAO has a $100mm ecosystem fund
thedefiant.io/metis-latest-o…
12/ Let's not forget decentralization, a key focus of the @MetisDAO team

The team is building Decentralized Autonomous Company (DAC) infrastructure, "enabling anyone to build decentralized businesses on-chain, with all the real-world functions of a real-world company"
13/ Early investors are limited to 20% of the supply

While half of the lifetime supply is reserved for community mining purposes over 10 years

And the Builder's program has 30% of all gas fees rewarded to each DApps contribution to the ecosystem

metisdao.medium.com/decentralizati…
14/ The team was founded by @ElenaCryptoChic and @Natalia_Ameline

Oh, and @VitalikButerin 's mother is a tech researcher for @MetisDAO...

@ElenaCryptoChic knows Vitalik and his family since he was a child
15/ Early investors include @AutonomyCapitaI, @7oClockCapital, @master_ventures, @InnMindcom, the Ignition and Apollo-X launchpads, and Ignition China
16/ In the past week, @MetisDAO breached 30k wallets among many other updates
19/ As the scalability war heats up between alt L1s and ETH L2s, @MetisDAO has high potential to compete with the likes of $SOL, $AVAX, and $MATIC, meanwhile it only has a mkt cap of ~$400mm and trades at 1x TVL
20/ Oh and did I forget to mention that while $BTC is down ~40% the past 2 months, $METIS is up 100%+

Don't fade @MetisDAO

1/ All Things Crypto

A thread
2/ TLDR

1) #Crypto is growing rapidly with mass adoption through #NFTs and the market is rewarding L1s with this functionality

2) $BTC is driving the crypto market and continuing the 4 year cycle

3) We should watch out for L1s decoupling from BTC cycles as adoption accelerates
3/ Today, I want to cover all things crypto that I am seeing in the market. These are broken down in the following sections:

1) Macro
2) $BTC
3) NFTs
4) $ETH
5) $SOL
6) Layer 1s ( $AVAX, $DOT, $ADA, etc)
7) Super Cycle Theory
8) 30k Foot View of #crypto
9) Final Thoughts

1/ The Super Cycle Theory

Many of been hearing the idea of the #supercycle for #cryptocurrencies and I want to give my take on this idea
2/ But first, let me define what the super cycle means to me

It is when #cryptocurrencies including $BTC break away from the historic #bitcoin cycles corresponding to the #bitcoin halvings

They start to go up or down based on their own fundamentals
3/ It is abundantly clear these cryptocurrencies such as $ETH, $SOL, and $ADA have yet to hit escape velocity

For example, when #bitcoin crashed in May 2021, all other #cryptocurrencies still crashed and crashed way further than bitcoin

1/ There are other layer 1s being adopted. Some layers 1s include:

1) @avalancheavax

2) @Polkadot

3) @Cardano

And so many more that are in development or early stages
2/ @avalancheavax

Another smart contract platform, $AVAX has gone from 0 to ~$4bn in TVL in 6 months

3/ $AVAX continued

Let's not forget those NFTs

1/ Adoption of #Solana is hitting critical mass. A popular #Solana wallet, @phantom, has been live 6 months and already has 400k weekly active users
2/ And the entire $SOL ecosystem. The point is that there is a lot in this picture

Source: @solanians_
3/ Total Value Locked in #DeFi protocols on #Solana are nearing ~$9bn as of this writing. Exponential growth anyone?

1/ $ETH is easily the most compelling cryptocurrency broadly among the crypto community

We can see this in how rapidly the number of #Ethereum active wallets is growing
2/ Total value locked in DeFi protocols on #Ethereum hit all time highs recently. Currently at $124bn

Source: @DefiLlama
3/ The number of daily transactions on #Ethereum broke 700k recently (30 average)

1/ #NFTs are showing the power of an idea and movement among a group of people with a similar ideology or passion. And #NFTs becoming a symbol by which these groups identify themselves in the digital world
2/ It may be hard to see the value here but imagine being buying digital memorabilia of your favorite sports team vs a team you have never heard of. I doubt you would be as price sensitive for something that you identify with.
3/ And these #NFT communities are lively! Most notably is the @BoredApeYC. They have a roadmap and currently the floor price is ~39 ETH minimum (~$120k). To be a part of this, you need to own a Bored Ape NFT
