2/ On January 5, $BONK hit an all-time high of $0.00000487, resulting in a gain of 3,649% and a market cap of $204,964,399.
This success can be attributed to @bonk_inu's airdrop strategy, where 50% of its total supply was distributed to a wide base of @Solana users.
3/ This differs greatly from the $SHIB token airdrop in August 2020, where the anonymous creator, Ryoshi first locked 50% of the tokens in @Uniswap and sent the rest to Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin's wallet.
4/ Bonk's growth has also had a positive impact on @Solana, with its native token $SOL seeing a 63.5% price increase from $9.97 on January 2 to $16.30 on January 10, 2023.
5/ Methodology: This study examines the percentage price returns of $BONK, $DOGE and $SHIB in USD, from January 1, 2021 to January 10, 2023.

1/ We're excited to announce the our Trust Score 3.0 update, which incorporates #ProofofReserves (PoR) data for centralized #crypto exchanges to improve industry accountability.
A thread on what's new and what's to come 🧵
2/ With recent events highlighting the importance of accountability from CEXs, we've incorporated PoR data into our Trust Score, for centralized crypto exchanges.
3/ Trust Score 3.0 is being implemented in 2 phases.
Phase 1, which is already completed, assigns scores to exchanges based on the availability of PoR data:
Unavailable = 0 points
Audited, but no assets = 0.5 points
Available = 1 points
Available and Audited = 1 points
2/ In comparison, the last #crypto winter saw an even steeper drop in funding, with companies raising only $4.48B in 2019, a 72.3% decrease from 2018.
Funding remained low in 2020, at $4.40B.
3/ The relatively better funding performance in 2022 points to the industry’s growth over the last 5 years, with more projects securing financial backing and increasing interest from institutional investors.

• 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.”
