Being the first on "hot" events is the easiest way to make good and sudden money!
1. Withdraw funds from ETH
Update Ethereum Shanghai (March) will finally allow withdraw funds from ETH staking. This “de-risk” event will eventually lead to more ether participation in staking and improved competition between liquid staking protocols.
⚡Pay attention:
Lido Finance $LDO
Rocket_Pool $RPL
fraxfinance $FXS
stakewise_io $SWISE
2.EIP-4844
EIP-4844 (Proto-Danksharding) - this is Ethereum update, which will allow reduce the rollup fee by 10-100 times.
This level of scalability opens up many new use cases and deprives Ethereum killers of their low price.
🔅Planned launch date: Q3.
Rollup activity can grow at a tremendous pace.
⚡Pay attention:
Arbitrum
optimismFND $OP
MetisDAO $METIS
🔅Arbitrum is gaining the attention of users and developers. It thrives on activity and innovation. There is a good chance that the next bluechip projects will be built here.
3. EigenLayer
EigenLayer's re-staking solution allows you to use the same ETH not only to protect the Ethereum network, but also other applications and services.
🔅A win-win:
— ETH stakers receive additional income
- infrastructure gets higher and cheaper security
⚡There is no information about the $EIGEN token yet, but we know that almost every project will have its own token sooner or later, so stay tuned.
🔅The main beneficiary of EigenLayer technology is $ETH. The rebuild gives it even more utility and makes the Ethereum ecosystem more valuable.
4.zkEVM
zkEVM stands for Ethereum Virtual Machine based on proof of zero knowledge technology.
zkEVM are rollups similar to optimistic rollups, but with fewer security assumptions due to cryptomagic zkProofs.
🔅They are Holy Grail ethereum scaling.
⚡Pay attention:
0xpolygon $MATIC
Scroll_ZKP
taikoxyz
zksync
⚡Attracted investments, so the airdrops can be significant!
Participate in testnets, be active on Discords, leave feedback!
5.Layer 3s
L3 are chains created on the basis of L2.
If L2 gets a 100x cost reduction over L1, then L3 gets 10,000x over L1 while still being protected by L1.
L3 can be customized for specific purposes, which makes them a serious competitor to Cosmos.
⚡Layer 3 features
Many companies will develop technologies for custom L3. Time will tell which one will attract the most applications.
6.Account Abstraction
AA turns every account into a smart contract with its own logic.
🔅This opens up many use cases that weren't possible before, such as social recovery, 2FA or batching txs.
🔅AA will attract a new wave of blockchain users by improving the user interface.
⚡Advantages:
- Improved UX
- Increased security
- Great flexibility
⚡Pay attention:
Stark Ware Ltd - zkRollup with native AA
zkSync - zkEVM with native AA
argentHQ - wallet based on zkSync
There are no tokens, we are waiting for airdrops!
7. Modular Blockchains
L1 blockchains now do everything: calculations, execution, and data availability. They are of monolithic construction and are thus subject to the blockchain trilemma.
Modular architecture separates layers to achieve scalewithout sacrificing decentralization.
🔅 Blockchain modular architecture is created by several teams.
⚡Pay attention:
0xPolygonAvail $MATIC - modular data availability
CelestiaOrg - modular blockchain network
fuellabs - modular runlevel
We are also preparing for potential airdrops.
8. Omnichain
Bridges and wrapped assets proved to be very vulnerable.
The future belongs to the omnichain. Thanks to LayerZero technology assets can be moved between chains without bridges.
🔅Advantages:
- Increased security
- Great compatibility
— New DeFi use cases
❗LayerZero technology is used by many protocols.
⚡Pay attention:
stargate finance $STG - transport liquidity
Tapioca_DAO - leveraged money market
InterSwap_io — AMM with unified liquidity
There is still no $ZRO token, but…
9. New DeFi Primitives
2021 has been full of ponzis and few innovations.
⚡Real technologies are created in bear markets:
sentimentxyz - secured borrowing
GammaSwapLabs — non-permanent hedging of losses from
VendorFi - borrowing without liquidation
10. NFTFi
A new asset class requires its own financial ecosystem.
⚡DeFi for NFTs (NFTFi) is already being created:
nftperp - perpetual futures
insrtfinance - fractional impact on NFTs
JPEGd_69 , NFTfi , BendDAO — NFT as collateral for a loan
💲BONUS: Artificial intelligence
AI is a hot trend, which will become even hotter in 2023.
Many cryptocurrency projects will position themselves as AI-friendly. Most of them are greed.
⚡But perhaps there are a few real AI gems in cryptocurrency that are waiting in the wings.
🔥Many innovative solutions have now been created.
But we are still in a bear market, so prices may not reflect this for a long time.
🔥Be patient, don't get distractedand you won't miss the next big thing when the bull market returns.
Save and share!
