$XEN has been in the top gas guzzlers on @etherscan since its launch in early October. At its peak, almost 50% of @ethereum's block size was consumed by #XEN.
What is @XEN_Crypto and how does it work? Let's unpack! 🧵
• The $XEN cryptocurrency has no supply limit and leverages the Proof-of-Participation (PoP) consensus mechanism.
• It allows users to utilize Ethereum-based wallets to mint new tokens by paying the applicable Ethereum gas (transaction) fees
• It was created by the Fair Crypto Foundation, backed by ex-Google employee @mrJackLevin.
• Dubbed as a “people’s token”, #XEN is based on principles like “self-custody, trustless consensus, and decentralization.”
• The surge in interest in XEN has caused a dent in ETH emissions, rendering ETH to be deflationary (for now).
• XEN was launched on 8th October, and since then, there’s been a steady downward trend for the supply of ETH.
• At its peak, @etherscan data indicates that XEN minting has accounted for over 40% of all @ethereum transactions and has increased Ethereum gas fees above $1.
(i) Mining requires a small amount of computing power: You can mine XEN crypto by linking your wallets to the XEN dAPP.
(ii) No limit on wallets: XEN allows you to create as many wallets as you want, as long as you’re willing to pay the gas fees.

What #crypto should we tweet about next? Let us know 👇
From examining the #crypto market landscape to analyzing Bitcoin and Ethereum, how DeFi is making a recovery and NFT winter, here are 6 highlights you shouldn't miss! 👇
• Crypto's total market cap rallied up to ~$1.2T in August, before falling again to end the quarter at 6.5% higher than at the end of Q2.
• After Q2’s significant drop of 50% QoQ, the market was mainly in consolidation mode in Q3.
2/ A muted quarter for stablecoins 🤫

• $USDC's market cap fell 16% after OFAC's sanction of Tornado Cash.
• $BUSD grew the most, increasing 18% due to inflows from USDC and @binance's BUSD auto-conversion.
With many anticipating its listing on @coinbase, let's take a closer look to understand what @hedera is, its tokenomics, and potential use cases! 👇
1/ What is #Hedera?
• Hedera is a public crypto network and governing entity for creating decentralized applications (dApps).
• It leverages a unique type of distributed ledger technology (DLT) known as hashgraph.
2/ What's a hashgraph?
It's a patented algorithm that provides the benefits of blockchain technology without the hitch of low transaction speeds.
Comparison of transaction speeds for the following networks:
• #Bitcoin - 5 TPS
• #Ethereum - 15 TPS
• #Hedera - Up to 10,000 TPS
With a TVL of around $930M, #Optimism is one of the most popular scaling solutions for @ethereum!
Let's dive deeper to understand what @optimismFND is, how optimistic rollups work, its tokenomics, and more 🧵👇
1/ What is #Optimism?
• Optimism is a Layer 2 solution for #Ethereum to help end-users access dApps with cheaper transactions and achieve a smoother user experience.
• According to @DefiLlama, Optimism currently ranks #8 for the most popular chains by TVL.
2/ How does #Optimism work?
• It works by using optimistic rollups to bundle multiple off-chain transactions in large batches before sending them to the main #Ethereum network.
• This enables Optimism's Layer 2 blockchain to inherit all the security features from Ethereum.
All eyes are on $SWEAT this week... 👀 What is @SweatEconomy, how does it work, and what are their tokenomics? Let's dive in! 🧵
1/ What is #Sweatcoin?
• Sweatcoin is a free #Move2Earn app that lets users earn a virtual currency known as sweatcoins while walking.

2/ What is @SweatEconomy?
• Sweat Economy is a blockchain ecosystem of the Sweatcoin platform.
• It’s an on-chain crypto ecosystem and mobile app that facilitates the #M2E reward model.
