The value DeFi brings to Ethereum in 4 charts
▪ Gas Usage
▪ ETH Burned
▪ Daily Active Addresses
▪ TVL
Gas Usage
DEX trades are the dominant activity that users are spending gas on. In Jan 2023, DEX trades made up 22% of gas spent on Ethereum. That number has risen to 44% in August 2024.

ETH Burned
DeFi is the primary driver of ETH burn since the merge, contributing to almost half of all ETH burned.
Daily Active Addresses
DeFi has the third-highest number of daily addresses, with an average of 76.4k addresses engaging with DeFi applications daily on Ethereum this year.

TVL
TVL is largely DeFi dominated and Ethereum is unrivaled in that aspect.
Ethereum and its DeFi protocols have strong product-market fit for activities that prioritise stability and security, and the numbers reflect this accordingly.
Over 57% ($46.2B) of all TVL in crypto is on Ethereum.

What if the future of energy isn’t controlled by governments or corporations—but by you?
A new wave of DePIN innovators are decentralising the energy supply chain, turning solar power into a $100B opportunity.
@GlowFND @daylightenergy_ @Powerledger_io @RowanEnergy @plumenetwork @charge_xyz @DeCharge__ @starpowerworld @PyseEarth @combinderio 1/ Solar power has hit a tipping point. It's now the cheapest source of energy across the world.
Since 2010, solar tariffs have plunged by an astonishing 8x, making it more affordable than ever to harvest energy directly from the sun.
2/ And yet, despite over a decade of aggressive solar installations, it accounts for just 5% of global electricity generation.
On Oct 13, 2024, @truth_terminal, an AI agent backed by @pmarca, endorsed $GOAT on Solana. Within weeks, we saw a whole new crypto sector: AI agent coins.
Sentient memes are all the rage, but one in particular has caught our attention.
It sits right at the intersection of finance, social networks & meme assets.
@ai16zdao has built a portfolio that has multiplied in value without ever doing a trade. How does it work? We dug in.
First, the numbers. ai16z launched on @daosdotfun with a little under $100k.
The AUM has since ballooned to $1.9 million as creators send Eliza assets to build their own bots. Why? Because it helps build visibility for the asset itself.
Kind of reminiscent of Snoop Dogg's metaverse buy.
But how does it work?
There are a few parts to it.
ai16z relies on tweets from @pmarca and @DegenSpartan to form its decisions. It then uses a conversational agent (Eliza) with a Twitter client to build a social presence.
