Top 7 Unreleased Crypto Tokens With 100x Potential In Upcoming Bull Run Don't Miss💥A couple of exciting headlines that followed several months of bad news have generated fresh interest in $BTC and the crypto markets.If BlackRock’s filing for the first-ever spot Bitcoin ETF in the US is successful, this would open #bitcoin trading to the masses and potentially ignite a new Bitcoin rally.A clean close above the 31.500 level would make even the most ardent bears turn bullish and the price of BTC would likely skyrocket to at least 40k.Once Bitcoin settles, and money starts pouring towards altcoins, we could witness a major altcoin season. But where will money pour into (besides Ethereum)?I firmly believe that many of the most successful tokens of the next altcoin rally haven’t even been released yet. The crypto winter was the perfect time to develop some exceptional crypto-related technologies.Let’s look at the top 7 projects whose innovative solutions have attracted the impressive backing of major VCs and whose tokens could explode during the next surge. 1. LayerZero ($ZRO)Layerzero is an interoperability protocol - an omnichain - designed to connect different blockchains.Sending crypto funds between different networks can be a hassle and transferring assets via bridges requires a separate interface for each pair of chains.Layer Zero wants to create a base interoperability layer for the entire blockchain ecosystem, so a true omnichain solution.By using an Oracle and a Relayer, Layer Zero lets you easily transfer assets across multiple chains much more effectively than a bridge. It’s also more secure and cost-effective.Several established projects, such as SushiSwap, PancakeSwap, Uniswap, Trader Joe, Radiant Capital, and Hashflow, have already implemented Layer Zero as their blockchain interoperability solution.The Layer Zero team has raised $263 million from top VC funds, including Sequoia Capital, a16z, Binance Labs, Coinbase, Tiger Global, Polygon, and many others.The $ZRO token is mentioned in LayerZero’s code, so we know the token will one day exist. Although the team has not confirmed an airdrop, LayerZero airdrop is one of the most anticipated in crypto history and will likely be huge.2. zkSync ($ZKS)ZkSync is a Layer 2 protocol enabling unlimited Ethereum scaling by using zero-knowledge rollups. Its aim is to support general-purpose applications without costly gas fees and performance barriers.ZK-rollups bundle transactions into batches and execute them off-chain. They store only the minimum amount of data on-chain, making the process faster and cheaper.Finding solutions for Ethereum’s inherent scaling issues is of absolute necessity and ZK-rollups are regarded as one of the most promising technologies ready to tackle this problem.zkSync has raised $458 million from Blockchain Capital, DragonFly Capital, a15z, and numerous other funds.Once zkSync becomes fully decentralized, the blockchain will have a native token as a reward mechanism for rollup operators and staking.Just like LayerZero, ZkSync Airdrop is expected to be one of the biggest in crypto history.  3. Aztec ($AZTEC)Aztec is a layer 2 zk-rollup solution for Ethereum, focused on privacy.Aztec is an encrypted  that uses Blockchain zk-rollup proofs to enable confidential transactions out of the box.Its goal is to ultimately allow developers to build fully programable, privacy-preserving smart contracts using a programming language called Noir.As Aztec’s focus on privacy is incompatible with the EVM architecture and Solidity’s semantics, the team has no plans for EVM compatibility or to support Solidity.Aztec has raised $119 million from ConsenSys, Paradigm, a16z, and other top VCs. It currently does not have a token, but a future airdrop is probable.Aztec announced the discontinuation of zk.money which enabled fully private ZK transactions, as well as Aztec Connect, the infrastructure that powered it.The team’s focus will now shift toward the development of its next-generation decentralized general-use encrypted zkRollup, and Noir — the universal language to write programs in zero knowledge. 4. CelestiaCelestia presents itself as “the first modular blockchain network, built to enable anyone to easily deploy their blockchain with minimal overhead.”It is a minimal blockchain meaning it only orders and publishes transactions but does not execute them.By separating consensus from execution, Celestia wants to enable anyone to easily deploy their blockchain without the hassle of bootstrapping a new consensus network.Celestia Labs has raised $55 million in rounds led by #Binance , Bain Capital Crypto, and Polychain Capital.The team will likely airdrop a token in the near future although this hasn’t been confirmed. To qualify you would need to learn how to set up and run a node on the Celestia network. 5. ScrollScroll is a general-purpose #zk-rollup project building a zkEVM (Zero Knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine).A zkEVM is a technology that can execute smart contracts compatible with zero-knowledge-proof computations and existing Ethereum infrastructure. This makes it very powerful.#zkEVM preserve the security of the Ethereum network while drastically reducing the cost and improving the speed of transactions.Most early zk-rollups projects are application specific, restricted to specific crypto use-case. Scroll, on the other hand, wants to provide compatibility with any Ethereum app.Scroll has raised $80 million from Polychain Capital and other funds.Scroll Alpha Testnet is live since February. You can connect your wallet and then send your Goerli tokens between Ethereum and Scroll using the Scroll Bridge.Scroll doesn’t have a token yet, but is expected to release one later this year at the launch of its mainnet. 6. Fuel ($FUEL)Fuel network, developed by Fuel Labs, defines itself as the fastest execution layer for modular blockchains.Fuel addresses Ethereum scalability problems with a concept called modularity. This means the execution layer is separate from the data availability and consensus layer.Fuel’s goal is to provide the highest security and flexible throughput on Ethereum. To achieve this, it relies on Parallel Transaction Execution, Fuel Virtual Machine (FuelVM), and the Sway programming language.Fuel Network has raised $81 million from Blockchain Capital, Stratos Technologies, Coin Fund, and other firms. For now, the team has not confirmed the release of a token, but it’s likely to airdrop a token ahead of the launch of its mainnet.Fuel is currently in the Beta 3 testnet phase. To try the testnet, you need to install Fuel wallet and request some test ETH from the faucet. You can then try out different dApps from Fuel’s rich ecosystem. 7. ShardeumShardeum is a scalable L1 blockchain network that increases transactions per second by adding more nodes.It uses a technology called sharding to split the blockchain network into smaller networks called Shards. This distributes the computational workload to individual Shards making the network faster, more scalable, and energy efficient.Shardeum’s native utility token SHM is confirmed. It will have a maximum supply of 508 million. The Token Generation Event (TGE) is expected in Q3/Q4 of 2023.SHM will be used to pay gas fees, execute transfers, reward miners, and for other activities.The team raised over $18 million from the Spartan Group and other VCs. Zooming OutThe above projects have huge potential for the next bull run but don’t have tokens yet. This means you’re early to the party!You can try to gain free tokens by participating in tasks required for the airdrop, you can participate in a potential presale or an ICO, or you can simply wait for the tokens to become publicly available for trading.Just keep in mind that when a token is listed on an exchange after an airdrop or an ICO, its price almost always tumbles. Early investors or airdrop recipients will take profits upon listing, so don’t jump in the first day.

about the current "crypto projects building"? "Why so many infrastructure projects?" "Why no consumer apps?" "Why so much ZK random stuff?" "Where are the users?" "Who are we building for?" "When does the trend reverse?"... IT'S ALL VERY SIMPLE 🥸 1️⃣ Main rule: consumer apps are not valued at 100x, just accept that as a fact. Everyone wants big stories, big air castles, big fat-layer-thesis-shit... and that hasn't changed since 2017 and even before that. As a result, nobody builds consumer-facing apps. Why? You get less valuation premium -> less fundraising and have to do real work -> EW 🤮 💡 "Nobody likes companies with revenues: it's never enough." Well, apart from some Asian countries like Korea that love building consumer facing apps. I am not versed in their market dynamics much, but it probably does contribute to crypto usage growth for some actual use cases. Or LATAM adoption of USDT transfers. That's not air castles! Back to the topic... 2️⃣ Over-infra focus becomes an echochamber, no new users or buyers come in, and devs just sell shovels to each other. It's an easier and more pleasant business. No hard KPIs, very vague stories, big multiples... lovely, ha? We did this before 2016, then in 2018-19, and doing for the past year again. There is 0 new DeFi, 0 new #NFTs . It's all shovels! And it's clear why: "show me the incentives and I show you the outcome". The markets then reprice all these multiples and even infra gets hit. And that's when everyone really starts to cry. We are not there yet. So... what do?! 3️⃣ Some realize the problem, bite the lip, and actually build usable stuff. A killer use case gets found, the narratives form, and we are off to new highs. Hopefully. Thanks ♥️ Like & Follow Us For More $BTC $ETH #ETH #crypto2023

RWA Report by #RedStone and Chaos Labs: The Deep Dive into 2023 Market Key takeaways: 1) Institutions such as JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, and Hamilton Lane are exploring real world asset tokenization. #MakerDAO incorporates RWA in DAI collateral, Centrifuge leads in RWA lending, while Ondo Finance and Matrixdock play the first fiddle in tokenizing exposure to short-term U.S. Treasuries 2) Gold is the second most tokenized asset regarding market capitalization in crypto, following #USD, , which is the leader. The debt market takes the third place 3) Tokenization technology has the capability to transfer tangible and intangible assets on-chain. Apart from established classes such as real estate, precious metals, and financial products, RWA tokenization extends to intangible assets like intellectual property, expanding the possibilities for creators and innovators 4) Oracles are important cogs in the RWA tokenization mechanism. They provide data feeds, which are utilized to price RWA backed tokens on various platforms and dApps. Secondly, they ensure accurate collateral valuation for CDPs and internal redemption mechanisms of RWA protocols, which ensures fair trading 5) Collaboration between traditional finance and decentralized projects is at levels never seen before.

5 questions to Justin, Co-Founder of Safary Platform 1) Alex: What is Safary Platform? Justin: Safary is a community-first company rebuilding the marketing stack in #web3 starting with attribution. Web3 teams use our platform to understand their marketing CAC, channel ROI, and customer LTV. Safary works best for websites with web3 onboarding flows (connect wallet). In terms of analytics, we show you: - Funnel: Visitors, Sign ups (wallet connections), on-chain purchases - Campaign performance: ad spend, cost per wallet acquired, etc. - Sources: wallets acquired by marketing channel, by geography, paid vs organic, and wallet provider (metamask, Coinbase, etc) We’ve also partnered with the top 3 web3 ad networks (HypeLab, Slise, Blockchain-Ads) who give our users $1500+ in free ad credit. You can already view the results of these campaigns directly in Safary, and soon you’ll be able to launch campaigns to their network directly from our platform too. 2) Alex: How is Safary different from other analytics platforms? Justin: Two big differences between Safary and other web3 analytics platforms: - Partner Network: Being the leading brand in web3 growth gives us unique advantages. We have partnerships with the leading web3 user acquisition networks (ad networks, quests, etc) who provide thousands in free ad credit to our users. That means our customers acquire users for less through us than on their own. - Privacy: We’re the only cookie-less web3 tracking platform, offering critical insights on your funnel and site performance without infringing on your users’ privacy. That means no consent banners are required. We don’t store personal data or IP addresses, nor do we use fingerprinting or cross-website tracking. Privacy isn't just a buzz word for us. Our engineering team has years of privacy experience: our lead engineer Ricardo has a PHD in data privacy and our technical advisor Italo is among the world’s leading experts on decentralized identity and privacy, having spent 6 years as tech lead at Consensys.

What Is Maximal Extractable Value (MEV)? The popularity of smart contract-based applications opens loopholes for generating additional revenue due to market inefficiencies, the peculiarities of #Ethereum and other blockchain architectures, and the automatic market maker mechanism prevalent in DeFi with its inherent slippages and volatile losses. One such loophole is MEV. MEV refers to the maximum amount of value a blockchain miner or validator can make by including, excluding, or changing the order of transactions during the block production process. MEV occurs when the block producers in a blockchain (e.g. miners, validators) are able to extract value by arbitrarily reordering, including, or excluding transactions within a block, often to the harm of users. How Does MEV Work? Since each block in blockchain can only contain a limited number of transactions, block producers have full autonomy in selecting which pending transactions in the mempool—the location block producers store unconfirmed transactions off-chain—they will include in their block. Block producers can extract additional value by taking advantage of their ability to arbitrarily reorder transactions, creating what is known as maximal-extractable value (MEV). MEV Example (Frontrunning and Sandwich Attacks) For example, if a large trade is spotted, a frontrunning bot can copy the user’s trade and create a transaction bundle where their transaction is processed first before the user’s trade. This moves the market price of the asset being traded, causing the user’s trade to incur a larger amount of slippage—the difference between the expected price of a trade and the actual price. As a result, the user’s trade is executed at a suboptimal exchange rate, increasing the costs of using decentralized exchanges in the form of an “invisible fee” where fewer tokens than initially expected are received.
