I vote @Delphi_Digital’s “The Year Ahead for Infrastructure 2024” to be the most intellectually rigorous and thought-provoking end-of-year report. Please open-source this one piece for all of CT.

Just read @Delphi_Digital's "The Great Reset" report about #Web3 games in 2023. One of the best pieces this year, so far. Must read.

SOL outperforms ETH

SOL outperforms ETH

"Thanks to SBF, SOL got whacked harder than other tokens and suffered a more severe drawdown. Once the market woke up and realized SOL wasn’t going to literal zero, some reversion to the mean was inevitable."

“Moving forward, we expect the value capture of token bridges to be limited to the long tail assets (e.g. LayerZero OFTs) or exceptional cases like BTC (Bitgo’s WBTC) where the intention is to use the asset on another chain rather than transferring value cross chain.”

We foresaw the emergence of Telegram Crypto Gaming (TON).

“At the time of writing, there are fewer than 100 active blockchain games on the platform. The good news is that gaming is one of TON’s core focuses for 2024, and there is a lot to look forward to in the near future.”

Dec 14, 2023 - The Year Ahead For Gaming

✨ Daily transactions for TON increased throughout 2024 driven by retail demand for games and apps such as NOTcoin and Hamster Kombat.

✨ Lido stETH marketshare dropped from 80% as LRT's ate into marketshare.

LRT’s will weigh on LST market share.

“As liquid restaking cements its role in the market, money markets and CDP protocols stand to benefit from it. Liquid restaked ETH, offering higher yield rewards than traditional staked ETH, positions these protocols advantageously to impose higher borrowing fees.”
