<h4><strong>Today, we continue our four-part article series on Web3 investors and their gems. In particular, we’re looking at Coinbase Ventures. </strong></h4> 
<p>So, what gems does this incredible Venture Capitalist (VC) hide in its <a href="https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/tag/coinbase-ventures/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">treasure chest</a>? Let’s unlock its secrets now!</p> 
<h5><strong>Gem #1 – EigenLayer</strong></h5> 
<p>The first gem which Web3 investors are paying attention to is <a href="https://www.eigenlayer.xyz/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EigenLayer</a>. This project is all about restaking. With its service, you can increase the utility of your staked $ETH. Simply put, you can improve the security of other protocols aside from Ethereum. In return, you get a share of the project’s fees and rewards! Talk about unlocking the value of your $ETH stake.</p>

<p>Aside for restaking, Eigenlayer helps Ethereum validators. In fact, the project helps them to validate other networks. All while keeping additional costs low. Hence, they can validate many networks at the same time. In turn, more networks benefit with better security and decentralization.</p> 
<p>Yes, you read that right. EigenLayer has raised a whopping $64.5 million. Things are looking bright for the project. Moreover, the <a href="https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/defi/how-is-ethereum-liquid-staking-doing-in-2023-coingecko-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">strength of Ethereum liquid staking</a> further fuels its growth.</p>

<h5><strong>Gem #2 – DeBank</strong></h5> 
<p>The next gem on the radar of Web3 investors is <a href="https://debank.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeBank</a>. In simple terms, it enables retail crypto investors to access the DeFi landscape. DeBank has a number of features, such as:</p> 
<ul> 
 <li><strong>DeFi Dashboard.</strong> This provides retail users a bird’s eye view of their portfolio. You won’t lose track of your tokens with this dashboard.</li> 
 <li><strong>DeFi Analytics.</strong> With this, developers gain access to info on users, projects, and tokens. All of which are updated real-time.</li> 
 <li><strong>DeBank Stream.&nbsp;</strong>This provides retail users a Web3 social feed. This is similar to a Facebook feed. On top of that, users earn contribution rewards by using Stream.</li> 
</ul>

<h5><strong>Gem #3 – Nansen</strong></h5> 
<p>Our third gem we’re reviewing today is <a href="https://www.nansen.ai/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nansen</a>. Nansen is a project that specializes in blockchain analytics.

<h5><strong>Gem #5 – DFlow</strong></h5> 
<p>Our second last gem for today is <a href="https://dflow.net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DFlow</a>. With DFlow, your wallet can give you the best rates for swaps. Yet in turn, it can generate more revenue! How is this done?</p> 
<p>Well, DFlow offers three primary products: Reports, Auctions, and Swaps. With these, DFlow assures its consumers that there are no slippage or liquidity costs. Your trades are executed at the best available market price.</p> 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p> 
<p>DFlow has great utility in the DeFi space. It helps both dApps and users save money. What’s not to like about it? Web3 investors realize its potential. Hence, they’ve funded the project with $7.5 million already.</p> 
<h5><strong>Gem #6 – Layer Zero</strong></h5> 
<p>Moving on to our final gem. Here, we’re looking at <a href="https://layerzero.network/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Layer Zero</a>. To summarize, its an omnichain interoperability protocol. It helps you bridge from one blockchain to another. Its core technology relies on 2 on-chain components. Namely, the oracle and the relayer. With both of these, Layer Zero uses message transfers to bridge your assets.</p> 
<p>What else is great about Layer Zero? It’s technology is already working. In fact, it’s the core technology behind many popular bridges today.
