Blockchain Crypto Assets âŹď¸Â
Digital Store of Value Layer
The Store of value layer of crypto is the most decentralized, censorship-resistant blockchain, enabling wealth to be stored or locked into the future without losing value to inflation or outright confiscation. Bitcoin retains the best store of value properties, often referred to as digital gold or the â pristine collateralâ layer of crypto.
- - BTC
Web 3 Layer
Web 3.0 is the protocol layer of the world wide web that enables decentralized applications the way Web 2.0 uses the âTCP IPâ protocol to support centralized applications like Netflix, Amazon, Facebook ext. In Web 2.0 applications the users are the product while they own, store and manage your private data. Web 3.0 applications or âSmart contractsâ, are basically codified tamper-proof digital agreements that prove definitive truth while remaining decentralized and users own and monetize their data. Smart contracts enabled the decentralization of the entire global economy, providing users the right to monetize everything of value including global finance, data monetization, the tokenization of assets, stable currency, interoperability, and the Metaverse marketplace.Â

- - ADA
- - DOT
DeFi Layer
The Decentralized Finance layer of Crypto is about building alternative finance, banking, and global trade activities through decentralized applications. Application activities include flash loans, yield farming, decentralized exchanges, lending and borrowing, all cheaper, faster, smarter, and open to anyone with a digital wallet.Â

Big Data LayerÂ
Big Data Interoperable layers of crypto are tools and pipelines that interconnect blockchains, smart contracts, and real-world data in order to orchestrate the entire decentralized applications ecosystem. This ecosystem includes data retrieval, data verification, data indexing, data storage, oracle mechanisms, and other services further the blockchain ecosystem.

NFT Layer
Non-Fungible Tokens are Individual tokens attached to physical or digital assets and recorded on a blockchain to prove ownership. For example, Digital Art, Music, or a bottle of wine can be tokenized on the blockchain to prove ownership. The NFT layer enables the monetization of anything of value in a decentralized provable ecosystem.

Metaverse Layer
The metaverse is an entire crypto-based virtual world that replicates the physical world in a decentralized digital ecosystem. The Metaverse offers economic resources such as real estate, education, music, art, finance etc.Â

âPotential Monopolies âŹď¸Â
Ethereum | ETH
Web 3
Ethereum is a decentralized application supercomputer producing utility at the protocol layer of Web 3. The platform enables the monetization of everything of value through smart contract applications built on the Ethereum Blockchain. Ethereumâs network enables the decentralization of global finance and global trade in an ecosystem where the data is owned by the users and the rules are completely transparent. Smart contracts have also enabled the monetization of everything of value through tokenizing physical and digital assets where ownership can be proven on a tamper-proof list or records. A virtual ecosystem called âThe Metaverseâ is also being developed on the Ethereum network where virtual economies of scale can exist, owned by its users. The Ethereum network also provides Stable-coinâs or decentralized stable currencies. Stable coins are pegged to the U.S Dollar as a stable currency with "instant settlement," cheaper fees, and offer a yield. If Ethereum's ecosystem is adopted the network will gain hundreds of trillions in value in the next decade.

Bitcoin | BTC
The Ultimate Store of Value
Bitcoin is the largest computing network in the world in the form of a deflationary monetary system. It's like a bank in cyberspace whose supply is completely fixed at 21million coins and remains resistant to inflation. Bitcoin is also censorship-resistant, unhackable, and resistant to confiscation. Bitcoin is often referred to as âDigital Goldâ or âPristine Collateralâ for its unique properties of preserving value into the future. Its superior âstore of valueâ features are disrupting traditional store-of-value mechanisms (Gold, Treasury Bonds, Equities, Fiat Currencies) and may very well be on its way to becoming the world's reserve collateral by the end of the decade.

Next Generation Engineering Platforms
Tesla is an engineering technology company innovating platforms for global energy, artificial intelligence, and transportation. Teslaâs battery technology paired with artificial intelligence is enabling fully autonomous electric vehicles across the entire transport industry along with transforming the entire energy market by capturing and storing solar energy. On a global scale, Tesla is the most disruptive force to legacy transport and energy industries and should capture tens of trillions of dollars in value in the next decade.

The Graph | GRT
The Google of Crypto
The Graph is an indexing protocol for querying data on the Web3 ecosystem the way Google indexes and queries data on web2. The Graphâs utility helps developers to build blockchain and smart contract applications from a reliable decentralized public infrastructure.
Before The Graph (GRT) existed, developers who wanted to create decentralized apps needed to index all of Ethereum's data manually, a task which could take multiple developers months-years minimum to complete. The Graph indexes the previously unorganized blockchain data and makes it organized and easier for developers to create applications with.
Every time a user is using a dApp (eg, Uniswap) to trade or view data, the dApp has to query The Graph for data. The Graph recently received up to 800 million daily queries in May 2021, with a 20% monthly growth rate since launch in 2020.
Uniswap, Aave, Compound, Balancer, USDC, Synthetix, Sushiswap, MakerDAO, Yearn, Curve, or basically any of the popular dApps all functionally rely upon The Graph. A good representation of what The Graph is is when you use info.uniswap.org - all of this data comes from The Graph. Every time you refresh, that's a query that Uniswap has to make to The Graph in order to provide you with up to data price data.
For the past 8+ months, dApps were getting this data for free, but soon they will migrate their subgraphs to the decentralized mainnet and be charged micro fees per query. The query fees will be paid out amongst indexers (those who actually organize the data into subgraphs) and curators/delegators (those who stake/participants in the network). We are talking roughly $0.0001 or $0.00001 per query, so hundreds of millions of monthly capital flows through The Graph and its participants.
Currently, there are 10-15 layer 1 blockchain networks (Ethereum, Avalanche, Solana, Polygon, and others) and hundreds of popular dApps (those listed above, and more) using The Graph. Several, like Solana, asked The Graph to index their chain - they approached The Graph, not the other way around. However, in the future, there will be thousands of blockchain networks indexed by The Graph, millions of dApps/subgraphs, and trillions of daily queries. Imagine everyone using their phone to transact, refresh, and interact with media/applications that require data from The Graph.
The Graph is like a combination of decentralized versions of Google, banking, all of social media, all other service providers, and other industries, all in one.
When GRT launched, it was released on Kraken, Coinbase, and Binance on day 1 - no other coin in history has had this red carpet rollout, and there is good reason for it. All of these exchanges had info pages written for The Graph, where they referred to it as the "Google of blockchain".
There are literally zero competitors. The proposed competitors (Covalent, Parsiq) do not even have a working product, do not have the speed, do not have the users, and most importantly, do not have the developers. Everyone who is relevant in the space is already using The Graph
For reference, Google (which has been active since September 1998), was processing 5.6 billion searches per day in February 2019. The Graph, which has only been around for less than 3 years, is already processing 800 million queries per day.
