🚀The wild west of Layer 2 solutions

Ethereum’s scalability journey seems as a never-ending story starting with the rise of crypto-kitties, followed by the breakthrough of DeFi and still being as the forefront challenge for Ethereum’s network.

Layer-2 chains and their plethora of implementations is being offered as a sustainable solution to the scalability issue of Ethereum, being faster, more cost-effective and better suitable for real world decentralized applications.

Currently, more than 30 L2 chains exist in the ecosystem, competing against each other in multiple fronts; user activity, TVL, project launches and many more. Of course, user activity is not mutually exclusive, however liquidity is!

🚰 Liquidity fragmentation across the many L2 chains is being identified as a gap in today’s web3 ecosystem, striving towards world wide adoption by eliminating friction and barriers for the users.

The challenges of liquidity fragmentation:

1️⃣ Potential increases in transaction costs and delays when interacting with multiple bridges
2️⃣ Using multiple cross-chains bridges increases the exposure to potential hacks
3️⃣ Increase complexity of DeFi yield strategies

The vibrant community of web3 with its innovative founders is already tackling the problem of liquidity fragmentation, creating applications that aim to break the isolated pools of liquidity in L2 chains, promoting the seamless exchange of assets with 1-click solutions!

🔥Have a great week ahead, stay safe and don't forget to buckle up!
The cryptoverse is on the rise🔥

How to Choose a Crypto Launchpad?

Launchpads vary in their offerings, providing different benefits to both investors and project owners.

They don't just facilitate fundraising, they also foster community engagement by offering incentives such as free giveaways or exclusive access to token sales, which contribute to the hype and momentum behind new projects.

However, determining which launchpad to use, whether you are a project owner or investor, involves considering a wide range of factors:

🟣Security and Legitimacy
Prioritize platforms with a solid reputation for security and legitimacy. Do your research to ensure the platform you choose is trustworthy.

🟣Project’s Performance
While past performance doesn't guarantee future success, it can be indicative of reliability.
Look for launchpads with a track record of incubating high-quality projects.

🟣Token Support
Consider whether the launchpad supports ICOs, IDOs, IEOs, or a combination. Ensure it aligns with your investment preferences.

🟣Blockchain Compatibility
Check which blockchain(s) the launchpad supports. The success of a project may depend on the underlying blockchain's viability.

🟣Trading Fees
Compare trading fees across different platforms to ensure cost-effectiveness when participating in token sales.

Here you can see all the parameters of the top launchpads based on multiple criteria and make a decision on which one suits you best!

🫢A lot of launchpads attract big communities of retail investors who want to make big gains post-presale and earn X on the launch moment.

However, few of them utilize effective mechanics to ensure that the community not only holds tokens longer but also remains highly interested in supporting the token price for an extended period.

We see this as a problem even with the top launchpads, and we are considering how we can contribute to ensuring that projects from our ecosystem shine not only after closed rounds but also after IDO/ICO.

Do you know any launchpads that meet these criteria?

Circulating Supply in Tokenomics | Low or High?🌋

Driven by a concern regarding inflation, builders in the web3 space frequently focus solely on the dangers associated with an excess of token supply in circulation. ⚠️

However, founders should also consider the converse scenario: the potential drawbacks of having insufficient supply available at the start.

That’s because when a token first launches it generally has:

- The highest trading volume
- High levels of irrational hype
- The lowest circulating supply the token will ever have

The combination of these factors can result in a large amount of FOMO buying, creating an unsustainable pump in price that immediately crashes once token emissions kick in - since that level of concentrated buying demand per unit of available supply simply can not be maintained as hype decreases and/or supply increases.

Instead of aiming to limit the supply only for the sake of keeping it low, the focus should be on aligning user demand with the liquid supply available.

🧑‍💻Practice:

1. You can utilize the Market Cap/TVL parameter to assess whether there is an excess of circulating supply compared to the Total Value Locked.

2. When launching a token, you can use a price discovery mechanism, such as a Dutch Auction or Liquidity Bootstrap Pool, in order to avoid severe imbalances in the initial token demand and supply causing a pump-and-dump.

🔥Find more practical tools and tokenomics strategies can be found in the new Coinstruct Channel (InnMind’s Official Tokenomics Partner).

Crowd or Market Maker is the King in Crypto 🤔

While many think Market Makers are the key to pumping token value, we've learned some important things from working with startups and watching token launches.

▪️Market Makers' main goal is to earn money for the client’s treasury and keep token prices steady.

▪️A good Market Maker knows how to balance selling and maintaining price stability sometimes through the dumping the token.

▪️To judge a Market Maker, ask how much money they've made for their clients.

▪️Market Makers don't artificially pump up token prices, that's always a community's job.

So look for Market Makers who know how to get people excited about a token through community involvement.
Crowd is the King 👑

Over the weekend, the market experienced significant movements🏎️

▪️On-chain analysis tool Lookonchain reported that whales, referring to wealthy traders with the power to influence token prices, acquired millions of dollars worth of meme tokens like cat in a dogs world ($MEW) and slerf ($SLERF), leading to an almost 80% surge in their prices within 24 hours.

▪️Additionally, profit-taking activities occurred ahead of the upcoming halving and amidst macroeconomic uncertainties, causing Bitcoin to decline from last week’s highs of around $70,500 to as low as $62,800.

This decline impacted major tokens, with some experiencing drops of up to 18%.

▪️Consequently, over $2 billion in futures positions were liquidated over the weekend, marking the highest liquidation volume since March.

Data from analysis tool Coinalyze indicates that over $1.5 billion of these positions were speculative bets on higher prices.

💎Real Diamonds Arrive On-Chain

Placing traditional assets onto the innovative world of blockchain is one of the hottest narratives in crypto nowadays, indicative of the strong interested showcased by traditional finance corporations.

Founders are taking advantage of the RWA vertical within web3, building platforms which tokenize real estate assets, US-treasury bonds, art pieces and even precious gemstones.

In Q1 2024 we have seen a huge demand for RWA projects by our active VC community looking to deploy capital. It is essential to recognize the benefits offered by real world assets on-chain and thus understand the investment interest expressed by TradFi and Web3 VCs.

💧 Pool of liquidity to traditionally illiquid assets
Expensive assets are tokenized and thus divided into smaller fractions that are easily tradable and transferred using blockchain technology. The barrier of cost is minimised, expanding the scope of potential owners for assets like real estate.

🔓 Accessibility
RWA tokenization eliminates any barrier involved with geographical limitations. Anyone can access tokenized assets online from anywhere in the world.

🔁 Portfolio Differentiation
Web3 natives, VC firms, angel investors and many other stakeholders of the web3 ecosystem are looking for yield-bearing tokens with lower risk profiles. Tokenized real world assets perfectly fit this market gap by introducing traditional financial instruments on-chain, allowing investors to differentiate their portfolios while keeping all the benefits of DeFi.


‼️ In other news, the US government transferred 30,175 Bitcoins ($2.1B at the time of the transaction) to a Coinbase wallet on Tuesday, sending waves across the blockchain world!

50,000 Bitcoins have been seized by the US from the Silk Road website in late 2022. The transaction caused the value of Bitcoin to drop below the $65,000 mark. It is interesting to point out the reaction of the market to such news as well as the decision of the US Government to transfer the tokens to a centralised exchange.

Such a move may indicate that US believes the demand from the buy side is strong enough to absorb $2B worth of BTC. We are all here to see how this escalates!
