Users will be able to use ANY chain with just ONE wallet.

As part of @ilblackdragon's Chain Abstraction thesis, @NEARProtocol is launching Chain Signatures.

The kicker? They are hitting NEAR's mainnet very soon.

Deep dive ↓ Chain signatures allow NEAR accounts, including smart contracts, to sign and execute transactions across multiple blockchain protocols.

This advancement enhances blockchain interoperability, granting every NEAR account ownership of diverse assets, cross-chain accounts, and data.

Dark Pools: The Invisible Side of Money Flows

Think privacy systems hinder Web3 adoption? It's the opposite — institutions need dark pools.

Key insights from @Delphi_Digital's "Diving into Dark Pools" research ↓ For both TradFi and crypto-native institutions, making large financial moves publicly has significant consequences.

The fact that @ArkhamIntel identified the spot BTC ETF addresses of all 10 institutions underscores the need for additional privacy layers to integrate into DeFi.

The airdrop meta in 2024: Users frustrated, protocol fundamentals declining.

Key insights from @Delphi_Digital's "Do Airdrops Hurt More Than Help" report.

Essential for users and a must-read for founders ↓ Even four years after the @Uniswap airdrop, which marked a pivotal moment in the Web3 market, it remains the largest airdrop ever, worth an astounding $6.4B at its peak.

Since then, the industry has evolved significantly, giving rise to sybils and airdrop farmers.

Why is @AethirCloud the flagship GPU-as-a-service of Web3?

Deep dive ↓ Decentralized computing is one of the strongest Web3 use cases for global businesses.

In 2023, the DePIN sector saw explosive growth with more than 755 projects and a market cap exceeding $32B.

The sector's utilization rates are 40-70%, generating $27.5M in annual revenue.

DYOR: The ultimate guide to essential Web3 research tools. The flywheel of Web3 research consists of two key steps:

1. Identifying promising protocols within a vast array of opportunities.
2. Researching these protocols to inform investment decisions.

Historically, memecoin seasons signal the end of bull cycles.

According to @MessariCrypto's Memecoin Investing research, it's now time to take profits.

Key insights ↓ The chart below deserves most attention.
It compares the correlation between Ethereum and Memecoin market cap and discovers an interesting pattern:

Infra pumps → Memes pump → Memes Dump → Broader downswings.

Avail's mainnet launch is just around the corner.
Optimism, Arbitrum, zkSync, Polygon, and more plan to integrate @AvailProject's DA.

The best thing you can do with your $AVAIL?
Probably, staking.

Comparing $AVAIL staking to infra plays like $TIA and $DYM ↓ Avail is a unification layer of Web3.

Think of it as @CelestiaOrg, @wormhole, and @eigenlayer under one roof, supercharged by $AVAIL.

• Avail DA (vs. Celestia, NEAR DA, Eigen DA)
• Avail Nexus (vs. Wormhole, chain abstraction)
• Avail Fusion (vs. Eigenlayer, restaking)

The future of Web3 is chain-agnostic.

Earlier this week, Connext rebranded to @EverclearOrg, set to become the first and only Clearing Layer of Web3.

This is the last missing piece needed to complete the Chain Abstraction puzzle.

Here's my ELI5 ↓ With hundreds of rollups and appchains now in existence, the problem of capital fragmentation and the operational costs associated with managing funds cross-chain are becoming more pronounced.

Chain abstraction offers a solution to this issue.

10 powerful visuals about Web3 ↓ When convinced, be patient.

A few weeks back, @1kxnetwork released an insightful research report on the history of memecoins, current trends, and potential opportunities.

Is there a 2024 playbook for memes?
Let's delve into it ↓

+ Bonus: A list of must-read studies on memecoins. The first PoW memes emerged from the depths of Bitcointalk (OGs remember). They aimed to attract miners, but their actual value was limited, and only @litecoin has stood the test of time.

Then came the era of Reddit and 4Chan, with @dogecoin leading the way as a flagship meme.

Eigen DA, Celestia, Avail, NEAR DA:
Who wins the Data Availability race... if any?

Full review of the DA narrative, its key players, and grey eminences ↓ While Layer 2 solutions have been gaining momentum, a critical bottleneck in achieving their full scalability has been identified in the data availability layer.

Historically, between 70% to 90% of rollup transaction fees can be traced back to these data posting costs.

Could it be that AI, Bitcoin DeFi, DePIN, and Infrastructure narratives converge in a single product developed by one of the most reputable teams in Web3?

Yesterday, @ankr announced @Neura_io, instantly adding $100M+ to $ANKR's fair valuation.

Let's explore ↓ Undoubtedly, @ankr is among the most renowned Web3 developers leading the DePIN, RaaS, and Liquid Staking movements.

Ankr boosts Polygon’s ecosystem with top-notch node hosting, contibutes to the BNB Chain infra, and is one of the pioneering RPC providers on Mantle.
