ETH is set to drive the Ethereum ecosystem's altcoins into a trending market
To summarize the Ethereum ecosystem's altcoins
There are too many coins, so let's pick a few that are valuable
Everyone can prepare for them
ETH layer2 :
ARB, OP, ZK, STRK, METIS, IMX
As ETH aims to become the global computer, Layer2's responsibility is to support the prosperity of the ETH ecosystem with high TPS and low GAS. ARB, OP, and STRK are three of the four major players, all with FDV exceeding 10 billion USD.
ETH staking/re-staking:
LDO, SSV, ETHFI, EIGEN
LSD protocols mainly emerged after the ETH Shanghai upgrade, transitioning from POW to POS, providing staking services related to nodes. LDO is the largest service provider, with the highest TVL in the network and a circulating market value of 800 million. SSV is a relatively important infrastructure.
ETH established DEFI:
UNI, SUSHI, AAVE, COMP, CRV, MKR,
DEFI should be the most familiar to everyone. As the biggest innovative sector in the last bull market, DeFi applications have spread to all aspects of daily on-chain activities. Due to the maturity of DeFi, this cycle is mostly based on previous upgrades, lacking in innovation.
ETH meme:
PEPE, NEIRO
Meme is a very strong sector in this bull market, holding a small amount is not a problem.
Others:
PENDLE
Pendle separates tokens into principal and interest for trading future earnings. Pendle has also recently benefited from the dual rise of TVL and coin price, making it a relatively innovative ETH DEFI project.
