This has been a long time coming... 🏗️⏰

Introducing: The blocmates Lifetime Access to Research Pass (LARP) NFT!

With our new site on the horizon, we wanted a way for our community to be able to gain access to all areas of our research and tools... Given we will have wallet sign-in we will be releasing a limited mint of LARP NFTs which do exactly what they say on the tin.

Some of the most promising projects of this year aren't even released yet.

Here is a list of the ones I am paying attention to in 2023, why I am paying attention to them and what you need to do to get exposure to them.

Yes, you peasants... there will be airdrops 🪂👇 Structure:

TLDR: The basic premise of the project
WEN?: When is it expected to go live?
Why?: Why is this interesting?
How?: How to gain exposure

p.s. sorry to whoever I stole the meme from it was too good not to take. Should have made it an NFT kekekekekekeke

30 Projects under $50m market cap that have a strong narrative or upcoming catalysts... let's go 👇

Or If you are busy bookmark for later... Disclaimers: 1) I probably hold 1 or 2 of these 2) I am literally [Redacted] so if you don’t DYOR expect to be flipping burgers soon. 3) Repeat point 2

I am neither bullish or bearish just simply commenting.

1) Do you listen to crypto/DeFi podcast? Where do you like to listen to these podcasts?

There are enough projects in the depths of hell right now with ridiculously low market caps that make it possible to do very well in 2023...

On the flip side, there are numerous unreleased projects with zero-to-one innovation that will also come online.

So, here is my list... There have been many predictions about what projects, areas and narratives will outperform in 2023.

This is not another one, yet the areas where I will place my chips and why…

This space moves very quickly and I am happy to flip my bias if new info presents itself, as usual.

So, you aren't exploring @arbitrum anon? Well, it is about time you became a bridgoooor and got over to this ecosystem...

Here is a rundown of the projects and opportunities over there right now...

I'll even throw some unreleased gems in the thread for you busy folk. Enjoy👇 The @arbitrum ecosystem is about to get a whole lot better in a number of ways. Protocols that are built/being built over there are going to be huge benefactors and so will you anon, the opportunities are endless...

I sat down last week and created a calculator to try and work out a fair price for @HxroNetwork & the $HXRO token based on projected volumes, staking, supply, etc.

These figures are pretty insane, to say the least. A true sleeping giant. Apes gonna ape.

blocmates.com/blogmates/what… I'm gonna do a few more of these as I think they are super useful for conviction and long-term capital allocatoooooors... Enjoy and let me know what you think and what other projects could benefit from this kind of analysis.

If you are hearing a lot of talk about @sudoswap and are still wondering what it is and how to use it take a look at this THREAD below. People are making great returns on NFTs which are actually trading like alts, I think this is just the beginning... I have been experimenting with Sudo Swap for the past few weeks and think it is really interesting. I have mentioned that $XMON (one of my largest holdings) is effectively the proxy exposure to Sudo Swap and the incoming $SUDO token.

Save yourself some time digging into the @MetisDAO ecosystem with this thread below. I think with the L2 narrative in full swing and also the HUGE $100m $METIS ecosystem fund plus the all-important @chainlink integration, everything seems primed and ready... Quick disclaimer because I know some folks can get quite angry at times. Do not buy anything I have mentioned because of this thread. I am an idiot and do not know what I am talking about.

more below...

1) I'm not just saying this (well, I kind of am but...) Our newsletter is something I am really happy with.

@byChadManDan is living up to his name and creating consistently great content. Despite it being early days I already think it is up there with the best on the market... 2) The consistently good picks from the team with regards to projects to look out for, up-to-date news, stupid memes and of course the Shill Your Pets Friday is certainly worth the 3-5 minutes ready (each) day.

We got a partnership/sponsor too!

1) An incomplete thread on the $HXRO Token - Key points taken from our recently released article on @HxroNetwork.

Enjoy below [insert cringe pointy emoji and thread emoji] @HxroNetwork 2) Projects that overlook tokenomics, revenue structures, and overall user incentives will not make it out of this leg of the cycle alive.

It appears everyone is now on the hunt for non-dilutive yields. Which took everyone a while to figure out, but we got there in the end...

We have just released A Complete Guide to Radix on the newly vamped site!

We cover:
How Radix is built for DeFi
Current smart contract issues
Cross-shard consensus
How many tps?!?!
Scrypto
$XRD potential

It's a dissertation, apologies...
