## Loopring (LRC) คืออะไร?

LRC เป็นสัญลักษณ์ของ Loopring ซึ่งเป็นโทเค็นคริปโตเคอร์เรนซีที่ขึ้นอยู่กับ [Ethereum](https://coinmarketcap.com/th/currencies/ethereum/) โดยมีโปรโตคอลแบบเปิดที่ได้รับการออกแบบมาสำหรับตัวกลางการแลกเปลี่ยนคริปโตแบบกระจายอำนาจ

ในปี 2020 ปริมาณการซื้อขายเฉลี่ยต่อวันของตลาดคริปโตเคอร์เรนซีทั้งหมดผันผวนอยู่ในช่วงประมาณ 50-200 ล้านดอลลาร์ การซื้อขายส่วนใหญ่ดำเนินการในตัวกลางการแลกเปลี่ยนคริปโตเคอร์เรนซีแบบรวมศูนย์ — แพลตฟอร์มออนไลน์ที่ดำเนินการโดยบริษัทเอกชนที่เก็บเงินของผู้ใช้และอำนวยความสะดวกในการจับคู่คำสั่งซื้อและขาย

แพลตฟอร์มดังกล่าวมีข้อเสียหลายประการร่วมกัน ดังนั้นในการแลกเปลี่ยนรูปแบบใหม่ที่มีการ — กระจายอำนาจ — ได้ปรากฏขึ้นเพื่อพยายามลดข้อเสียเหล่านี้ แต่อย่างไรก็ตาม ตัวกลางการแลกเปลี่ยนแบบกระจายอำนาจอย่างสมบูรณ์นั้นก็ไม่ได้ปราศจากข้อบกพร่องไปซะทุกอย่าง

เป้าหมายของ Loopring คือการรวบรวมคำสั่งในการจับคู่จากส่วนกลางเข้ากับการจัดการคำสั่งบนบล็อคเชนแบบกระจายศูนย์ ให้เป็นผลิตภัณฑ์แบบไฮบริดซึ่งจะให้ผลลัพธ์ที่ดีที่สุดของการแลกเปลี่ยนทั้งแบบรวมศูนย์และแบบกระจายอำนาจ

โทเค็น LRC เปิดให้ประชาชนทั่วไปได้ใช้ในระหว่าง initial coin offering ([ICO](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/initial-coin-offering-ico)) ในเดือนสิงหาคม 2017 ในขณะที่โปรโตคอล Loopring ถูกปรับใช้ครั้งแรกบนเครือข่ายหลักของ Ethereum ในเดือนธันวาคม 2019

### ใครคือผู้ก่อตั้ง Loopring?

ผู้ก่อตั้งและ CEO คนปัจจุบันของ Loopring Foundation ซึ่งให้การบริการในจัดการการพัฒนาโปรโตคอล Loopring คือ Daniel Wang วิศวกรซอฟต์แวร์และผู้ประกอบการที่อยู่ในเซี่ยงไฮ้ ประเทศจีน

Wang สำเร็จการศึกษาระดับปริญญาตรีด้านวิทยาการคอมพิวเตอร์จากมหาวิทยาลัยวิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยีแห่งประเทศจีน และปริญญาโทในสาขาเดียวกันจากมหาวิทยาลัยแห่งรัฐแอริโซนา

ก่อนที่จะเริ่มทำงานกับ Loopring นั้น Wang ดำรงตำแหน่งผู้บริหารในบริษัทเทคโนโลยีรายใหญ่หลายแห่ง: เขาเป็นวิศวกรซอฟต์แวร์ชั้นนำของบริษัทผู้ผลิตอุปกรณ์ทางการแพทย์อย่าง Boston Scientific และยังเป็นผู้อำนวยการอาวุโสด้านวิศวกรรม, ระบบค้นหา, ระบบการแนะนำและโฆษณาที่ Chinese e ซึ่งเป็นยักษ์ใหญ่ด้านการค้าของ JD.com รวมถึงหัวหน้าฝ่ายเทคโนโลยีและวิศวกรซอฟต์แวร์อาวุโสที่ Google

Wang ยังได้ร่วมก่อตั้งบริษัทหลายแห่ง: Yunrang (Beijing) Information Technology Ltd. และบริษัทที่ให้บริการในด้านคริปโตเคอร์เรนซีที่ชื่อ Coinport Technology Ltd.

#### อะไรทำให้ Loopring มีเอกลักษณ์ที่เฉพาะตัว?

แนวคิดหลักที่อยู่เบื้องหลังของ Loopring คือการรวมองค์ประกอบของการแลกเปลี่ยนคริปโตเคอร์เรนซีแบบรวมศูนย์และแบบกระจายอำนาจเข้าด้วยกัน เพื่อสร้างโปรโตคอลที่มีข้อได้เปรียบที่เป็นเอกลักษณ์และขจัดความไร้ประสิทธิภาพออกไป

ปัจจุบันการแลกเปลี่ยนแบบรวมศูนย์เป็นโหมดหลักของการดำเนินการสำหรับบริการซื้อขายคริปโตเคอร์เรนซี แม้ว่าการแลกเปลี่ยนแบบรวมศูนย์จะได้รับความนิยมและสะดวกอย่างมาก แต่การใช้การแลกเปลี่ยนแบบรวมศูนย์นั้นมีความเสี่ยงหลายประการ เนื่องจากการแลกเปลี่ยนเหล่านี้ถือเงินทุนของผู้ใช้ไว้ระหว่างจุดฝากและถอนเงิน จึงมีความเสี่ยงที่จะสูญเสียเงินทุนเหล่านี้ไปบางส่วนหรือทั้งหมดหากเกิดการโจมตีของแฮ็กเกอร์ หรือผู้กระทำผิดภายในการแลกเปลี่ยนหรือการแทรกแซงด้านกฎระเบียบ

ปัญหาสำคัญอีกประการสำหรับการแลกเปลี่ยนแบบรวมศูนย์คือการขาดความโปร่งใส: ความจริงที่ว่าการซื้อขายไม่ได้ถูกตัดสินบนบล็อคเชน แต่เก็บไว้ในบันทึกภายในของตัวกลางการแลกเปลี่ยนทำให้อาจเกิดการแลกเปลี่ยนราคาเป็นไปไม่ได้ได้และอนุญาตให้ใช้เงินทุนของผู้ใช้งานเพื่อวัตถุประสงค์ที่ไม่ได้รับอนุญาตในขณะที่มีการดูแลเงินทุนนั้น ๆ

เพื่อขจัดปัญหาเหล่านี้ บริการซื้อขายรูปแบบใหม่ได้เกิดขึ้นในช่วงไม่กี่ปีที่ผ่านมา: การแลกเปลี่ยนคริปโตแบบกระจายอำนาจ ([DEX](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/decentralized-exchange-dex)) แทนที่จะเก็บเงินทุนของผู้ใช้งานไว้ในการดูแลและประมวลผลภายใน แต่มันกลับช่วยให้คำสั่งซื้อและขายสามารถเชื่อมต่อกันโดยตรงและยังสามารถชำระเงินในการซื้อขายบนบล็อกเชนสาธารณะได้อีกด้วย

ในขณะที่ขจัดความเสี่ยงจากการดูแลและความโปร่งใส DEX จะแนะนำข้อเสียของตนเอง: ซึ่งโดยหลักแล้วมีประสิทธิภาพต่ำกว่า (เมื่อเทียบกับทางเลือกแบบรวมศูนย์) ที่เกี่ยวข้องกับความสามารถที่จำกัดของบล็อคเชนและ [สภาพคล่องที่กระจัดกระจาย](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/liquidity)

โปรโตคอล Loopring พยายามที่จะรักษาข้อดีของการแลกเปลี่ยนแบบกระจายอำนาจ ในขณะที่ลดหรือขจัดความไร้ประสิทธิภาพผ่านโซลูชันไฮบริดที่เป็นนวัตกรรมใหม่ ผ่านการจัดการคำสั่งแบบรวมศูนย์ แต่จัดการการซื้อขายบนบล็อคเชน และรวมคำสั่งมากถึง 16 คำสั่งให้ไปเป็นการซื้อขายแบบหมุนเวียน แทนที่จะยอมให้ยึดติดกับแบบเดียว หนึ่งคู่การซื้อขายของ Loopring ที่คาดว่าจะเพิ่มประสิทธิภาพของการดำเนินการตามคำสั่งรวมทั้งเพิ่มสภาพคล่องของ DEX

#### มีเหรียญ Loopring (LRC) หมุนเวียนอยู่กี่เหรียญ?

การออกโทเค็น LRC ถูกควบคุมโดย smart contracts ที่ประกอบด้วย Loopring Protocol

วิธีการหลักในการขอรับ LRC คือการทำ ring mining: : เพื่อการปรับปรุงสภาพคล่องของเครือข่าย Loopring คำสั่งจะไม่ถูกจับคู่โดยจำกัดแค่เพียงคริปโตเคอร์เรนซี 2 สกุลเท่านั้น โปรโตคอลสามารถผสมและจับคู่คำสั่งได้ถึง 16 รายการสำหรับคริปโตเคอร์เรนซีที่แตกต่างกันในการซื้อขายแบบหมุนเวียน ที่เรียกว่า order ring

เครือข่าย Loopring จะได้รับรางวัลเป็นโทเค็น LRC สำหรับการรวมคำสั่งซื้อแต่ละรายการเป็น order ring, การรักษาหนังสือคำสั่งสาธารณะและประวัติการค้า และในการกระจายคำสั่งไปยังรีเลย์อื่น ๆ

### เครือ Loopring มีความปลอดภัยอย่างไร?

Loopring สามารถทำงานได้บนบล็อกเชนของ Ethereum และ [Neo](https://coinmarketcap.com/th/currencies/neo/) โดยมีแผนจะเพิ่มการรองรับบล็อกเชน [Qtum](https://coinmarketcap.com/th/currencies/qtum/) แต่ละเครือข่ายเหล่านี้มีโทเค็นของตัวเอง: LRC และ LRN สำหรับ Ethereum และ Neo ตามลำดับ เมื่อเปิดตัวโทเค็นเครือข่าย Qtum จะเรียกว่า LRQ

โทเค็นเหล่านี้มีความปลอดภัยเนื่องจากฟังก์ชันแฮชของแพลตฟอร์มบล็อกเชนพื้นฐาน: LRC โดย Ethash ของ Ethereum, LRN โดย SHA256 ของ Neo และ RIPEMD160 และ LRQ โดยอัลกอริทึม PoSv3 ที่ใช้การ proof-of-stake ของ Qtum

### คุณสามารถซื้อ Loopring (LRC) ได้จากที่ไหน?

0x is an infrastructure protocol that allows users to easily trade ERC20 tokens and other assets on the many different blockchains (including Ethereum) without relying on centralized intermediaries. It is a protocol for decentralized exchange.

0x achieves this decentralized exchange functionality using a collection of open-source, publicly auditable smart contracts that work together to produce a flexible, low-friction trading protocol that developers can easily weave into their products.

The protocol is used by companies building web3 apps such as wallets, DEXes, portfolio trackes, and others. It is a used by hundreds of developers for their projects. The protocol has facilitates over $200B in trading volume since its inception. One can track its usage in its dedicated https://explorer.0x.org/.

The protocol is powered by an ERC20 governance token known as ZRX. ZRX holders can participate in protocol governance, having direct power over protocol changes and its community treasury.

0x Protocol

Storj, pronounced as “storage,” is an open-source cloud storage platform. Basically, it uses a decentralized network of nodes to host user data. The platform also secures hosted data using advanced encryption.

In a white paper published in December,2014, Storj was first introduced to the world as a concept. It was to be a decentralized peer-to-peer encrypted cloud storage platform.

Two years later, an updated white paper was published. Here, a decentralized network  — connecting users who need cloud storage space with those who have hard drive space to sell — was described. The platform was launched in late 2018.

People with hard drive space and good internet connectivity can participate in the network. They become a unit in the network, called a node. Space providers are rewarded by Storj tokens.

Storj

Decentraland (MANA) defines itself as a virtual reality platform powered by the Ethereum blockchain that allows users to create, experience, and monetize content and applications.

In this virtual world, users purchase plots of land that they can later navigate, build upon and monetize.

Decentraland was launched following a $24 million initial coin offering (ICO) that was conducted in 2017. The virtual world launched its closed beta in 2019 and opened to the public in February 2020. Since then, users have created a wide range of experiences on their parcels of LAND, including interactive games, sprawling 3D scenes and a variety of other interactive experiences.

Decentraland uses two tokens: MANA and LAND. MANA is an ERC-20 token that must be burned to acquire non-fungible ERC-721 LAND tokens. MANA tokens can also be used to pay for a range of avatars, wearables, names, and more on the Decentraland marketplace.

Decentraland (MANA) is a decentralized virtual world platform with software based on the Ethereum blockchain, where users create, test and monetize content. In short: users buy virtual plots of land as NFTs with MANA tokens on the Decentraland platform. Progress in the game depends only on players themselves, their efforts and their imagination.

The digital platform is completely owned by its users. Within the Decentraland metaverse, participants can explore the virtual world, purchase plots of land that can be monetized, create works of art, own non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and take part in a decentralized autonomous organization of the platform Decentraland DAO. Due to the DAO, the community influences the development vector of the project.

In addition, users have access to interactive applications, in-world payments and peer-to-peer communication. The 3D world resonates with many participants as Decentraland has many applications, both entertainment for gamers and business for investors.

Two types of tokens called MANA and LAND govern operations in Decentraland. They also allow users to interact with the platform.

MANA is the official currency of Decentraland. It’s an ERC-20 standard token that powers the Decentraland platform. With MANA, users can purchase plots of LAND, as well as pay for in-game items and services.

MANA gives its holders the right to vote in Decentraland DAO. MANA can be purchased on a cryptocurrency exchange or by selling collectibles on Decentraland Marketplace. The owner of tokens converts them to wrapped MANA, or wMANA, and then commits them to the DAO. One wMANA equals one vote. MANA can be exchanged for fiat currency and other digital assets.

As for LAND, it’s a non-fungible token (NFT) based on Ethereum (ETH). It is used to track ownership of land parcels aka digital real estate. Like MANA, LAND is part of the protocol and confers voting rights, but LAND does not need to be fixed in the DAO. One LAND is equal to two thousand votes.

Players choose what to do with their land. Owners store tokens in crypto wallets and buy necessities with MANA tokens on the Decentraland Marketplace. Moreover, on the marketplace, participants can manage or exchange LAND tokens (priced in MANA). Holders use the marketplace to transact or transfer in-game items. All transactions are conducted, regulated and registered via the Ethereum blockchain.

Decentraland combines an online gaming space and blockchain technology. All control over the rules is given to the players, and token holders vote on in-game and organizational policies. The original goal was to form a decentralized virtual reality, but in practice, Decentraland has turned into a massive NFT market.

A special role in Decentraland is assigned to NFTs, such as collectibles, virtual equipment and real estate (LAND). However, for new players who want to join the universe and seize NFTs, the entry barrier will be high.

The Decentraland protocol is built on three levels using Ethereum smart contracts. On the consensus layer, the ownership of LAND is tracked and managed. The land content layer displays the content of the Decentraland virtual world. Finally, on the real-time layer, participants interact with each other.

The platform was co-founded by two blockchain experts, Ari Meilich and Esteban Ordano, in 2015. Officially it was launched a year later and became available only in February 2020, gradually turning from a 2D experiment into a full-fledged 3D world.

To sum up, Decentraland is a decentralized game and a 3D virtual reality platform where players own lands and create limitlessly. Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) software is at the core, and governance is in the hands of the community. Through the native token MANA, players participate in any proposals for managing and improving the ecosystem, the auction system, and the in-game policy.

Decentraland

Orchid (OXT) is the native token of Orchid, a cryptocurrency-powered virtual private network (VPN).

Launched in December 2019, Orchid describes itself as the world’s first incentivized, peer-to-peer privacy network.

Its aim is to overcome internet freedom limitations by using cryptocurrency payments to allow anyone to purchase bandwidth from any participating provider. This is done using so-called probabilistic nanopayments, which occur using OXT, an ERC-20 standard token on Ethereum.

Regular payments to providers occur off-chain, allowing Orchid to avoid problems with congestion and gas fees on the Ethereum network.

The service is pay-per-use, meaning that users only have to contribute funds when they actually connect, instead of paying monthly or annual fees.

Orchid

Yearn.finance is an aggregator service for decentralized finance (DeFi) investors, using automation to allow them to maximize profits from yield farming.

Its goal is to simplify the ever-expanding DeFi space for investors who are not technically minded or who wish to interact in a less committal manner than serious traders.

Launched in February 2020, the service, formerly known as iEarn, has seen huge growth in recent months as new products debuted and developers released in-house token YFI.

NKN (NKN), or New Kind of Network, is a network that focuses on creating a decentralized and open-source network protocol for public blockchain-based peer-to-peer (P2P) networks to share network bandwidth and internet connectivity. Its main objective is to address the challenges faced by today's internet, such as centralization, scalability issues and security concerns.

Moonbeam is an Ethereum-compatible smart contract parachain on Polkadot. Moonbeam makes it easy to use popular Ethereum developer tools to build or redeploy Solidity projects in a Substrate-based environment.

MultiversX is a blockchain protocol that offers true horizontal scalability by using all aspects of sharding (Network, Transaction & State). The project describes itself as a technology ecosystem for the new internet, which includes decentralized finance, real world assets and the Metaverse. Its smart contracts execution platform is reportedly capable of up to 100,000 transactions per second, 6-second latency and a $0.002 transaction cost.

MultiversX is governed and secured through the EGLD token. EGLD, or Electronic Gold, is MultiversX's native token. It acts as a store of value currency to pay for network usage. The coin also serves as a medium of exchange between platform users and validators. Users pay transaction fees in EGLD and validators participate in the consensus process.

EGLD allows developers to deploy smart contracts, protocols, and dApps on the platform. It empowers participants to perform any network action. Through staking and validation rewards, as well as transaction fees, EGLD manages the MultiversX network. Plus, EGLD is endowed with the functionality of a governance token, so its holders can vote on network decisions.

MultiversX

Enjin Coin is a project of Enjin, a company that provides an ecosystem of interconnected, blockchain-based gaming products. Enjin's flagship offering is the Enjin Network, a social gaming platform through which users can create websites and clans, chat, and host virtual item stores.

Enjin allows game developers to tokenize in-game items on the Ethereum blockchain. It uses Enjin Coin, an ERC-20 token, to back the digital assets issued using its platform, meaning that items can be bought, sold and traded with real-world value.

Enjin Coin was first announced in July 2017, and it launched on the Ethereum mainnet in June 2018.

Enjin Coin (ENJ) is a digital store of value used to back the value of blockchain assets like non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
Every asset minted with the Enjin Platform contains ENJ, a minting resource which is locked inside NFTs and removed from circulation. Minting blockchain assets with ENJ provides a variety of benefits to creators and users:

Infuses them with a reserve value

Ensures their transparency and scarcity

Gives them instant liquidity

Provides utility in games and apps

Anti-inflationary

Enjin's "melting" functionality allows users to destroy their blockchain assets at any time to retrieve the ENJ value from within.

The Enjin blockchain ecosystem aims to offer software products that make it easy for everyone to develop, trade, monetize, and market with blockchain.

Founded in 2009, Enjin has roots in the gaming industry, with the company’s first product, a gaming community platform called the Enjin Network, growing to 20 million users over the course of a decade.

In 2017 following an ICO, Enjin established itself as a leading blockchain ecosystem developer, building a suite of software products that enable anyone to easily mint, manage, trade, distribute, and integrate blockchain assets.

Enjin’s co-founder Witek Radomski wrote the code for one of the first ever non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and is also the co-author of the ERC-1155 Ethereum token standard.

Built on top of an on-chain infrastructure, the Enjin ecosystem enables game developers and businesses of all sizes to use tokenized digital assets as part of their acquisition, retention, engagement, and monetization strategies. The Enjin ecosystem is fueled by Enjin Coin (ENJ), a cryptocurrency used to back the value of blockchain assets.

Axie Infinity is a blockchain-based trading and battling game that is partially owned and operated by its players.

To learn more about this project, check out our deep dive of Axie Infinity.

Inspired by popular games like Pokémon and Tamagotchi, Axie Infinity allows players to collect, breed, raise, battle and trade token-based creatures known as Axies.

These Axies can take various forms, and there are more than 500 different body parts available, including aquatic, beast, bird, bug, plant and reptile parts. Parts from each type class come in four different rarity scales: common, rare, ultra rare and legendary — and Axies can have any combination of body parts, making them highly variable and often rare and unique.

Each Axie is a non-fungible token (NFT) with different attributes and strengths and can be entered into 3v3 battles, with the winning team earning more experience (exp) points that are used to level up an Axie's stats or evolve their body parts. These Axies can be bred together to produce new and unique offspring, which can be used or sold on the Axie marketplace.

The Axie Infinity ecosystem also has its own unique governance token, known as Axie Infinity Shards (AXS). These are used to participate in key governance votes and will give holders a say in how funds in the Axie Community Treasury are spent.

Axie Infinity

Fantom is a directed acyclic graph (DAG) smart contract platform providing decentralized finance (DeFi) services to developers using its own bespoke consensus algorithm.

Together with its in-house token FTM, Fantom aims to solve problems associated with smart-contract platforms, specifically transaction speed, which developers say they have reduced to under two seconds.

The Fantom Foundation, which oversees the Fantom product offering, was originally created in 2018, with the launch of OPERA, Fantom’s mainnet, coming in December 2019.

Fantom is an open-source decentralized smart contract platform for DApps and digital assets that was created as an alternative to Ethereum. Fantom has the goal of overcoming the limitations of previous generation blockchains and balancing three components: scalability, security and decentralization. The project offers a set of tools to simplify the process of integrating existing DApps, as well as a detailed staking reward system and built-in DeFi instruments.

Fantom is a Layer-1 blockchain that uses a scratch-built consensus mechanism and independent consensus layer, Lachesis, to facilitate DeFi and related services on the basis of smart contracts. Lachesis provides security for other layers as well, including Opera, Fantom's EVM-compatible smart contract chain. The long-playing mission of the project is to “grant compatibility between all transaction bodies around the world.”

One of Fantom's key strengths is its performance and efficient transaction processing, namely thousands of transactions per second, where transactions are settled in 1-2 seconds, and the cost is fractions of a cent per transaction. As a result, Fantom provides higher scalability but at a lower cost.

The ecosystem is based on two main technologies: Lachesis protocol and Opera.

The Lachesis protocol is the core consensus layer that secures the Fantom network by providing both transaction speed and security.

Lachesis is an aBFT consensus engine that uses a directed acyclic graph (DAG) algorithm. How it works: network data can be processed at different times, and the network filters the participants, allowing only one third, which are allocated due to erroneous or malicious behavior, without compromising network processes.

Fantom's Asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerant (aBFT) Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism maintains the efficiency of the entire network, its design provides security at maximum speed. Fantom developers emphasize that the PoS mechanism is a leaderless phenomenon — there are no leaders of blocks and participants, and anyone can join (or leave) the network of nodes at a convenient moment.

The key qualities of Lachesis are: asynchronous, leaderless, Byzantine fault-tolerant, and near-instant finality.

As for Opera, it's an application development layer or Fantom's mainnet deployment platform, permissionless and open-source hosting DApps. Thanks to EVM integration and support for the Solidity programming language, Fantom has a full set of smart contract capabilities, which allows users to seamlessly interact with Ethereum platforms while maintaining the advantage of Fantom's transaction efficiency.

The Fantom Foundation concluded that removing block leaders improves network security, so Opera uses a PoS model and leaderless validators (validators do not determine which blocks are valid).

In addition to being a fast, secure and cheap payment platform that enables to make fast and secure payments at minimal cost, Fantom also features on-chain governance where users vote with FTM tokens (one token equals one vote). Of the features: users have the right to express the degree of agreement / disagreement on a scale from 0 to 4.

FTM is the native utility in-house PoS token of Fantom that powers the ecosystem and is applied for payments, network fees, staking, and governance. FTM forms the backbone of transactions, and allows fee collection and staking activities, along with the user rewards the latter represents.

Fantom

The Graph is an indexing protocol for querying data for networks like Ethereum and IPFS, powering many applications in both DeFi and the broader Web3 ecosystem. Anyone can build and publish open APIs, called subgraphs, that applications can query using GraphQL to retrieve blockchain data. There is a hosted service in production that makes it easy for developers to get started building on The Graph and the decentralized network will be launching later this year. The Graph currently supports indexing data from Ethereum, IPFS and POA, with more networks coming soon.

To learn more about this project, check out our deep dive of The Graph.

To date, over3,000 subgraphs have been deployed by thousands of developers, for DApps like Uniswap, Synthetix, Aragon, AAVE, Gnosis, Balancer, Livepeer, DAOstack, Decentraland and many others. The Graph usage has been growing at over 50% MoM and hit over 7 billion queries during the month of September 2020.

The Graph has a global community, including over 200 Indexer Nodes in the testnet and more than 2,000 Curators in the Curator Program as of October 2020. To fund network development, The Graph raised funds from community members, strategic VCs and influential individuals in the blockchain community including Coinbase Ventures, DCG, Framework, ParaFi Capital, CoinFund, DTC, Multicoin, Reciprocal Ventures, SPC, Tally Capital and others. The Graph Foundation also successfully completed a public GRT Sale with participation from 99 countries (not including the U.S.). To date as of November 2020, The Graph has raised ~$25M.

Curve is a decentralized exchange for stablecoins that uses an automated market maker (AMM) to manage liquidity.

Launched in January 2020, Curve is now synonymous with the decentralized finance (DeFi) phenomenon, and has seen significant growth in the second half of 2020.

In August, Curve launched a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), with CRV as its in-house token. The DAO uses Ethereum-based creation tool Aragon to connect multiple smart contracts used for users’ deposited liquidity. Issues such as governance, however, differ from Aragon in their weighting and other respects.

Curve DAO Token

Harmony is a blockchain platform designed to facilitate the creation and use of decentralized applications (DApps). The network aims to innovate the way decentralized applications work by focusing on random state sharding, which allows creating blocks in seconds.

According to the project’s website, Harmony is expected to introduce cross-shard contracts and a cross-chain infrastructure by the end of 2021.
