1/ I'm a big fan of @POKTnetwork and what they are building, so I am pleased to say I have become a brand ambassador & will be creating more content related to $POKT over the coming weeks/months.

To kick off, let's dig in to how $POKT is doing currently.

A thread 🐙🧵👇
2/ Relays are going parabolic and recently hit a new daily ATH.
3/ Pocket Network is doing around 350 million relays each day.
4/ This is amazing growth and occurring across multiple chains.
5/ To put this into perspective, Infura are doing 6.5 billion RPC requests just for Ethereum, so this shows the potential growth for Pocket Network is massive.
6/ The revenue Pocket is pulling in is staggering.

With total network revenue exceeding $56 Million in December, Pocket Network is already comparatively amongst the Top 5 revenue producers for all blockchains and blockchain applications globally.

(data from Token Terminal*)
7/ More and more $POKT continues to be staked.

The amount of staked $POKT has now surpassed non-staked $POKT.
8/ And the number of active validator nodes is now sitting around 22k and growing exponentially.
9/ Buying $POKT has been tricky, as you had to buy OTC, but four exchange listings (@HuobiGlobal , @gate_io , @MEXC_Global & @XTexchange) went live last week. Making it much easier for everyone to purchase any amount of $POKT.

@Okcoin also announced they will list $POKT soon.
10/ How about this for a clue that Coinbase and Binance listings might be on the way?

11/ There has been some talk about the inflation of $POKT being an issue recently.

Staking $POKT is currently very profitable, with nodes being rewarded with around 300% APY. This has led to lot of discussion about the effects of the increase in supply.
12/ In order to create a more predictable inflation schedule, there is a new governance proposal which looks to encourage sustainable inflation, protecting rewards against a decrease in relays and sensibly reducing rewards as Pocket Network grows.

13/ Wrapped Pokt continues to be worked on and the launch doesn't look to be too far away.

More details here: wrapped.pokt.network
14/ The market cap is now showing on Coingecko! And they are displaying it as $1.46B at time of writing.

For context, other middleware projects such as $GRT and $LINK have circulating market caps of $2.8B & $11B, respectively.
15/ The $POKT community has been growing steadily.

The easiest way to see this is by watching @thepoktopus' follower number go brrrrr
16/ Pocket Network are running a competition right now to reward community members with $POKT!

It might be your lucky day, you never know. Just follow the link in the tweet and follow the instructions to enter! Good luck! #Ad

1/ @LooksRareNFT doesn't seem to be going away.

$LOOKS has done more daily volume than OpenSea for 6 days in a row.

A few more observations 🧵👇
2/ The number of users on @LooksRareNFT continues to go north.
3/ OpenSea still completely dominates in daily transactions, but shows how much potential exists for @LooksRareNFT if they can also start to gain in this metric.

1/ #Chainlink makes blockchains inherently more useful.

I want to show you what happens to the demand for L1 tokens when Chainlink oracles are integrated.

Anyone who spotted this trend would have made a significant amount of money in 2020 and 2021.

A thread 🧵👇

$LINK
2/ Looking at the dates when price feeds went live across various different L1s we can see a clear trend.

The price of L1 tokens rise massively once they have integrated @Chainlink price feeds.
3/ Once developers get access to secure, decentralised oracles they are able to build their dApps more quickly; and in many cases, can only then release their dApps because they can trust the security of the Chainlink network.

1/ What next for the crypto markets? And what should you be doing?

Here are some thoughts👇 Image
2/ Let’s first off start by saying: no one fucking knows anything about the short term.
3/ I think you have valid bull and the bear arguments with the crypto markets and broader markets right now, as we are at a point where there is much uncertainty.
