4⃣ Mutant Garden Seeder

4⃣ Mutant Garden Seeder
Creator: harmvddorpel

Current Floor: 1.07 ETH

Why It's Undervalued: In my opinion, one of the most exceptional art series to come out of NFTs in 2021 was Mutant Garden Seeder by artist Harm van den Dorpel. In short, each of the 512 pieces in the collection dynamically evolve over time per Ethereum block hashes, making it a really compelling exploration of living art and digital organisms.

All that said, I believe a floor of ~1 ETH is just too low for a collection of this caliber, and I wouldn't be surprised to see these pieces trading around 4 ETH again within a few years as new collectors wise up to Harm's works.

🚨 The SEC reportedly returned Form S-1 to potential Spot Ethereum ETF issuers with only a few comments.

Issuers will need to process these comments and resubmit them by July 8.

This means that at least one additional round of deposits will be required before the ETF finally begins trading.

Crypto in 2024: Mid-Year Reflections

4 takeaways 👇

Crypto moves fast – like blink-and-you-missed-it fast.

The first half of this year has been no different, with new chains and applications emerging daily and the crypto industry gaining mainstream acceptance in the financial world.

Amid the Twitter echo chambers and the frenzy of bull market price action, it's easy to lose sight of the bigger picture. So, let's zoom out and focus on the signal amid the noise.

TL;DR Crypto is just getting started; don't get shaken out.

Today, we’ll take a step back to reflect on the key developments of H1 2024, exploring the significant events and trends that highlight the progress we've made this year. 👇

1️⃣ Crypto is now mainstream
Remember the days when crypto was a niche plaything for cypherpunks? Those days are well over.

In the first half of 2024, crypto broke through to the mainstream with a vengeance.

The turning point was the long-awaited approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in January. Suddenly, Wall Street had a comfortable on-ramp to crypto, and they took it in a big way. Eleven ETFs launched in one day, and volumes broke records.

And it didn’t stop at Bitcoin. The SEC finally greenlit eight spot ETH ETFs in May, further validating the entire crypto ecosystem, and opening the door for even broader institutional adoption.

2️⃣ Crypto Adoption Accelerating
Crypto adoption is accelerating at a remarkable pace. The number of active users across blockchains is up big time, hitting an all-time high of 42.92 million active addresses in April.

Another factor is the resurgence of DeFi. DeFi activity and mindshare are on the rise again, signaling a renewed interest and activity onchain, one that's moving beyond simple speculation to perhaps some real-world utility, like in the form of stablecoins for payments and asset tokenization for RWAs such as government securities.

The momentum is clear: more people are coming onchain, and they're finding more reasons to stay.

3️⃣ Ethereum Still Dominant, But Solana Rising
Ethereum remains the dominant force in crypto. Over 60% of the total value locked in DeFi sits on Ethereum, a testament to the lindy ecosystem, which acts as a foundation for countless applications and chains.

This dominance is not just a matter of capital but also technological progress on the roadmap. Ethereum is scaling through L2s like Base who have seen robust adoption this year, and thanks to the most recent Dencun upgrade, offer users significantly lowered gas fees.

Moreover, Solana’s innovation engine is running hot. Tech advancements like zk-compression and user-friendly features like Blinks are setting the stage for broader adoption, and we can see that Solana’s network effects are taking root in real time.

Make no mistake: Ethereum isn't going anywhere. Its established network effects and vast developer community ensure its continued importance in crypto. But Solana's impressive strides can't be ignored. Both ecosystems are thriving, each in its unique way. This parallel adoption is a win for crypto users, as it accelerates innovations and drives the entire industry forward.

4️⃣ More Chop Ahead, Then Up-Only
Bitcoin broke its all-time high in March, briefly breaching the $70 ,000 mark. While that party seemed to end pretty abruptly, let's not get carried away. This bull market is far from over.

The long-awaited ETH ETFs are nearly here, interest rate cuts are likely on the way, and crypto will likely continue to earn a place on the national stage during the U.S. elections with potential positive policy shifts in play.

💭 Closing Thoughts
So, has the first half of 2024 been all smooth sailing for crypto? Not quite.

The bull market must go

Him, on the other hand, makes me want to LONG so badly!

The location, its resistance against #Bitcoin   and the news concerning a launch of ETH SPOT ETFs at any moment, make me bullish!!

But it's impossible for me to LONG with my negative bias on BTC. So I prefer to wait a little longer.

Many will call me a little pussy and I will respond: "It's impossible to buy the perfect bottom and sell the perfect top."

Blast's airdrop is tomorrow

And the stakes couldn't be higher...

Here's what you need to know before tomorrow's drop 👇

It's almost... finally... just about here.

Ethereum’s Blast_L2 has been one of the more innovative protocols when it comes to incentive models for bootstrapping deposits and user activity.

They've been very successful thus far, enabling the network to accumulate over $2B in total value locked (TVL) and become the second-largest L2!

While Blast has transformed into a Goliath among L2s, the imminence of its airdrop – scheduled for tomorrow, June 26 – raises undeniable concerns about the network’s future in the aftermath of this much-anticipated event.

Today, we’re digging into what we know about the airdrop and unpacking the dilemma Blast faces in the post-drop battle to retain existing users and their capital! 👇

What's Happening with Blast?
Many early Blast depositors were shocked when they received a points multiplier instead of liquid tokens at mainnet launched in February, and despite promises to conduct a drop sometime in May, this date was subsequently delayed to June 26 (tomorrow!) for unknown reasons.

Although Blast had not provided complete tokenomics until today, it had committed to setting aside half of the nebulous initial airdrop allocation to recipients of “Points” and the other half to holders of “Gold.”

Further, Blast introduced “Jackpots” to distribute Gold to users; wallets could enter a “deck” of up to eight Blast-native tokens or NFTs into these randomly occurring events to receive Gold if one of their selected items is chosen as the Jackpot winner.

Needless to say, it's been a long, winding road filled with a lot of leaderboards and incentive charades. But now, after all this time, the team finally has to deliver on its airdrop.

$BLAST launches tomorrow at 10AM EST.

Who's Getting Blast's Airdrop?
Blast’s success has primarily hinged on users’ perceptions that interacting with the network will position them to receive lucrative token rewards, making it imperative for Blast to conduct a well-received airdrop to maintain its market dominance.

Although a monster initial airdrop allocation would certainly make users feel valued for their past activities, it would diminish the value of future airdrop incentives and dilute the potency of this airdrop farm. Alternatively, too small of an initial drop risks aggravating users and unraveling the belief that unclear BLAST allocation schemes are worth chasing.

In total, Blast reserved 50% of the total 100B BLAST supply for the community, with 17B of these tokens – roughly one-third of the total community allocation – set to be distributed through the initial, or Phase 1, airdrop.

The top 0.1% of airdrop recipients, about 1k addresses, will have to vest a portion of their airdrop linearly over 6 months and will be subject to minimum monthly Points thresholds based on their Phase 1 activity to fully vest their allocation – a clear effort to keep whales and their capital involved in the network's future.

An additional 8B BLAST subject to a 4-year linear unlock was granted to the recently established Blast Foundation, an organization intended to help the community realize the “Blast Vision,” further details of which are scheduled to be unveiled tomorrow alongside the airdrop.

On the other hand, a successful initial drop would build an outsized aura around the network and likely attract an increased amount of users and capital seeking to farm future incentives to Blast, turbocharging onchain metrics, bolstering the valuation of BLAST, and increasing the attractiveness of this opportunity!

Which future awaits Blast? We'll have a good idea in a few hours!

The Open Network has been a rare rocket ship during choppy markets 🚀

Here's how you can get started with the chain 👇

It's been hard to miss the rise of $TON over the past few months

Thanks to its integration with Telegram
& persistent price action The Open Network ecosystem continues to gain traction rapidly

These are the most active areas in the ton_blockchain
:

🎮 Telegram-Based P2E Games

Gaming has become a stand-out feature for TON, first with Notcoin and now with other games like CatizenAI and Hamster Kombat.

In summary, gaming on TON, whether through Catizen or Hamster Kombat, offers some (very) simple entertainment and real-world rewards, making it an attractive option for early speculators.

🔒 Liquid-Stake your TON for additional rewards

Like most PoS ecosystems, liquid staking with Tonstakers or Bemo Finance lets you use your TON to earn additional rewards.

- bemo_finance is another non-custodial liquid staking protocol on TON. It allows users to stake TON tokens and receive $stTON tokens in return that can be freely used in DeFi and increase in value as staking rewards are earned.

Both Tonstakers and Bemo Finance offer excellent opportunities for users to earn rewards through staking, making them valuable tools for maximizing your TON holdings.

🫳 Swap tokens on DEXs

DEXs lie at the center of TON’s DeFi ecosystem to drive the network forward, particularly http://STON.fi and DeDust.

💰 Lend through money markets

Lending platforms on TON offer additional ways to leverage your assets and turn a profit.

- evaaprotocol is a lending platform on the TON network that allows users to lend and borrow assets like TON, stTON, $tsTON , and $USDT directly from Telegram.

With double-digit interest rates for TON and USDT, the platform stands out as a competitive option for participating in DeFi and earning additional yield on your TON — way higher than with staking! The protocol currently has an XP points program, which can be later burned in exchange for the $EVAA token when it launches.

-
daolama_ton offers NFT lending for TON, currently supporting over 35 collections. On the platform, users can choose an NFT they’d like to rent out in exchange for TON, create a proposal, and then, when confirmed, receive TON based on the proposal's guidelines. Additionally, DAOLama’s marketplace offers a Buy Now, Pay Later feature for NFTs, allowing you to purchase NFTs like Anonymous Telegram Numbers 👀 for 41 TON instead of 113 TON.

In conclusion, Evaa Protocol and DAOLama TON offer unique and user-friendly lending solutions, providing even more avenues for earning yield on TON.

🤑 Trade crypto derivatives

For fans of derivatives trading, TON comes ready for platforms for trading crypto assets on up to 50x leverage.

storm_trade_ton is a decentralized derivatives trading platform built on TON and directly integrated with Telegram. Accessible via a web app and Telegram bot, Storm Trade provides trading features like leverage up to x50, instant price updates, and trading pairs with collateral in TON and USDT.

In addition, Storm Trade offers opportunities to earn through tournaments or by providing liquidity. In their daily tournaments, users compete for Storm Trade NFTs, which will whitelist them for the exchange’s token at launch. In their vaults, users can provide liquidity to act as a counterparty to traders on the platform and earn 70% of protocol fees. This can all be done directly from Telegram, making trading available on the go.

Is OP_CAT the missing piece for BTC L2s?

This opcode has everyone talking; what does it do?

A beginner's guide 👇

Bitcoin L2s are the talk of the town, but not much of their promise has been realized yet.

What are Bitcoin's builders waiting for?

One significant proposal could help mature the Bitcoin L2 landscape: the reintroduction of OP_CAT. This opcode, which was disabled early in Bitcoin's history, could unlock new capabilities and pave the way for more sophisticated and trustless Bitcoin L2 solutions.

Let's dig into why this opcode could be so transformative for BTC 👇

What is OP_CAT?
Okay, so why is this seemingly random opcode so controversial? OP_CAT, or "Operation Concatenate" is an opcode in Bitcoin's scripting language that allows for the concatenation of two data elements.

Initially proposed by Satoshi Nakamoto, OP_CAT was disabled in 2010 due to security concerns related to its original implementation, specifically potential denial-of-service (DoS) attacks caused by unbounded memory usage.

The introduction of the Taproot upgrade in 2021 has mitigated these original concerns. Taproot enforces a maximum stack element size of 520 bytes, addressing the memory usage issue that led to OP_CAT's deactivation. With this security improvement and resurgent Bitcoin development interest, thanks to Ordinals and Runes, a movement to reintroduce OP_CAT to enhance Bitcoin's scripting capabilities is gaining steam, aiming to put more complex transaction capabilities in reach.

Are Covenants and Smart Contracts Different?
One reason why OP_CAT is so compelling is because it can actualize covenants, i.e. spending conditions, on Bitcoin. Covenants and smart contracts are both mechanisms for controlling the flow of funds in a blockchain network, but they operate in distinct ways.

Covenants:
Purpose: Restrict how funds can be spent in future transactions.
Functionality: Implement specific spending constraints, such as limiting addresses or setting conditions on fund transfers.
Complexity: Generally involves simpler, deterministic logic without loops or complex computations.
Implementation: Can be implemented using Bitcoin Script with enhancements like OP_CAT.

Smart Contracts:
Purpose: Automate a wide range of processes and transactions.
Functionality: Handle complex tasks such as decentralized exchanges, token issuance, and multi-party agreements.
Complexity: Support complex conditional logic, including loops and intricate computations.
Implementation: Commonly implemented on platforms like Ethereum using high-level programming languages.

Why Does OP_CAT Matter for Bitcoin L2s?
OP_CAT would prove crucial for advancing Bitcoin L2 solutions because it enhances the scripting capabilities needed for more complex and trustless Bitcoin infra. First, OP_CAT allows for covenants, enabling the construction of more complex scripts. This is essential for creating advanced transaction conditions and functionalities required for L2 solutions.

Additionally, if OP_CAT is activated, projects like StarkWareLtdare on standby to develop atop it. StarkWare has plans to leverage OP_CAT for bringing zero-knowledge (ZK) scaling to #Bitcoin to enable advanced financial instruments and apps on the network. StarkWare’s involvement here underscores the broader ecosystem's readiness to capitalize on the enhanced capabilities that OP_CAT would introduce.

As such, as the community continues to explore and test the possibilities around this proposal, the future of Bitcoin L2s looks promising and ripe with potential. At this point, reactivating OP_CAT seems like a matter of when not if!

The bane since last Wednesday during the last FOMC!

And yes, the FED has really hampered our plans.

For the moment cryptos are under great bearish pressure from the FOMC. But the S&P500 and NASDAQ are holding up. But be careful because if they start to correct it, we'll pay twice as much.

Afterwards, we can decorrelate this summer thanks to the ETH SPOT ETF but not sure...

So yes I am Bullish in the medium and long term as explained in previous tweets but in the short term I don't like it at all.

So do you think you'll see a Bull or Bear summer?
