Shoutout to Cointelegraph for an insightful panel about VC! Here are Monolith’s top 5 takeaways 👇 1. VCs Are Still Looking: Despite fewer funds actively deploying capital, they’re on the hunt for new projects, especially in infrastructure, TON blockchain, and SUI network. So, don’t hesitate to reach out—VCs want to back strong projects. 2. Tougher Crypto Markets: Returns aren’t what they used to be. A few cycles ago, VCs could expect 20-30x, and now it's more like 3-4x. Competition is fiercer, and it’s getting harder to hit big wins for VCs. 3. Funds Keep Raising: VCs are still gathering capital from Limited Partners (LPs) to fuel future investments. The market remains active, and there’s plenty of capital waiting for the right opportunities. 4. Unique Projects Win: VCs are focusing on projects with standout teams, strong GTM strategies, solid tokenomics, and clear plans pre- and post-TGE. The bold and innovative will rise to the top. 5. Selling Tokens Is Normal: Yes, VCs sell tokens—that's their job. Retail sells too. The key is timing. Everyone is in the market to make money, so selling is part of the game. Don’t whine, strategize. Big thanks to speakers, such as Animoca Ventures, NewTribe Capital, ArkStream Capital, Foresight Ventures, Comma3 Ventures, and C² Ventures for the insights! We’re aligned on this one 🤝

DeFi has been one of the biggest crypto narratives in 2024. However, it is not perfect yet. Here are 4 major challenges it needs to overcome ⤵️🧵 To set the context, the first onchain liquidity ever recorded was on July 1st 2018. That makes it only 6 years of seeing this data, meaning we're still incredibly early in the DeFi journey. 1. Fragmentation 🧩 According to @DefiLlama, there are: - 3000+ protocols - 246+ blockchain networks - 10,000+ yield-generating pools And that's just what DeFi trackers show—estimates suggest they only capture about 1/5 of the actual DeFi ecosystem. The information overload is real. Everyone is familiar with protocols that require users to manage multiple browser tabs, Telegram channels & Twitter feeds just to stay informed. This fragmented experience can easily discourage newcomers to the space. 2. Blurred lines of risk ⚠️ While users understand crypto is high-risk, the problem comes when they actually don't understand the potential risks with new projects. We need a TradFi-inspired solution: clear, consistent & easily accessible information about the potential risks of every project they are looking to invest in. This would help users make better decisions and discourage bad actors. 3. Un-user friendly 🖥️ Despite improvements since 2020 & having some of the most talented individuals as part of the DeFi family, many interfaces are still overwhelming. We need to learn from challenger banks & prioritize simplicity. Imagine DeFi so seamless that users don't even realize they're using it. That's the future we should aim for. 4. Too many chains ⛓️ Cross-chain functionality is still a pain point. Managing assets across chains is like ordering each course from a different restaurant – impractical & time consuming. It can also create laziness which ultimately is a recipe for disaster. One day you may find a fantastic yield opportunity on @solana & the next day you might uncover an even better opportunity on @avax. Fragmentation creates barriers for users exploring opportunities outside their home network & challenges for new protocols trying to attract users. Future of DeFi 🔮 In the next 15 years, we expect hundreds of millions of new users in DeFi. As traditional assets get tokenized, we could see over $100T managed onchain. We envision a DeFi space that balances innovation with user-friendly standards. A place where users can interact across chains smoothly & easily. At Meezan, we're committed to educating & guiding the space in this direction through our incubator program. Check us out at: https://bit.ly/3N5Ifgy

I started thinking: why is it so complex and fragmented for startups and investors to connect? That’s where the idea for Connector came from—a platform aiming to simplify this world of venture opportunities. This isn't just a project; it’s a vision to make the venture world a bit more accessible, especially for those just beginning their journey. My goal is to create a space where investors can find deals that genuinely match their interests—quickly and cost-effectively. For startups, it’s about making it easy to reach the right investors, learn from top executives, and grow their businesses. And, of course, partners—companies and individuals always on the lookout for new opportunities—can expand alongside us here. These are just the first steps. Connector is growing, and the next phase is building an app on the Solana blockchain, where the process will be even more transparent and efficient. I’m excited to see where this journey leads, but one thing’s clear—it’s already reshaping the game. KEY PARTNERS: Solana Foundation - Recipient of the "Renaissance" Solana Hackathon 2024 insta Grant.

Here's a sneak peek at the latest trends shaping the future of crypto and Web3, as uncovered by Dima Foremnyi insightful article! 1. Decentralised Finance Pioneering: DeFi protocols are rewriting the rules of finance, introducing peer-to-peer transactions with transparency and reducing reliance on central entities. 2. Yield Farming Innovations: Yield farming strategies are getting smarter, leveraging multiple protocols simultaneously for higher returns and risk mitigation. Automated optimisation contracts respond to market conditions in real-time, shaping a sustainable approach to asset growth. 3. Automated Market Makers (AMMs): AMMs are transforming liquidity provision in decentralised finance, offering immediate liquidity with minimal slippage. Advances in AMM protocols include multi-token exposure and dynamic fee structures, aiming for a more capital-efficient system. 4. NFT Evolution and Functionality: Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) are expanding beyond digital art, serving as access keys, identity verifiers, and more. The narrative of NFT utility is set to grow, marrying real-world applications with blockchain immutability. 5. Interactive Art and Collectibles: Interactive NFT art is redefining ownership and engagement, offering dynamic visuals, participatory experiences, and utility-driven assets. Token-gated communities deepen the value proposition for NFT holders. 6. DAOs Reshaping Governance: Decentralised Autonomous Organisations (DAOs) are pioneering distributed governance frameworks, empowering stakeholders through democratic decision-making processes. They're dictating the future of corporate governance and prioritizing inclusivity. 7. Open-Source Project Management: Open-source project management tools are enhancing collaboration and transparency in Web3 projects. Decentralised project management aligns with Web3's ethos, fostering innovation and trust among contributors. 8. Participatory Funding Models: Crowdfunding is evolving into sophisticated participatory funding models, democratising investment and blending community governance with financing.

🌐 DAOs are the future of decision-making in businesses! ✨ Discover how decentralized governance is changing the game and empowering communities like never before. In traditional businesses, decision-making often lies in the hands of a few executives or stakeholders. But Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) are revolutionizing how decisions are made, creating transparent, community-driven governance models that are fair, efficient, and scalable. Here’s why DAOs are shaping the future of business: 1️⃣ Power to the Community DAOs allow members to collectively make decisions through voting mechanisms powered by blockchain technology. Instead of centralized authority, everyone has a say based on their contributions or stake, promoting fairness and inclusivity. 2️⃣ Transparent Governance All decisions made in a DAO are recorded on the blockchain, ensuring complete transparency. Every member can view proposals, voting results, and how resources are allocated—eliminating hidden agendas. 3️⃣ Automation and Efficiency DAOs rely on smart contracts to automate processes like fund distribution, voting, and execution of decisions. This reduces bureaucracy, speeds up operations, and minimizes human error. 4️⃣ Global Collaboration DAOs break down geographical barriers, enabling individuals from anywhere in the world to contribute to a common goal. Whether it’s managing a project, raising funds, or launching products, DAOs empower global teams to work seamlessly. 5️⃣ Real-World Use Cases Investment Funds: Communities pool capital and vote on where to invest. Gaming: Players decide the rules and future of a game ecosystem. Content Platforms: Creators and users manage content governance and incentives. Social Impact: DAOs fund and execute initiatives like charity programs or environmental projects. DAOs are redefining governance by decentralizing power and promoting transparency, efficiency, and global collaboration. From startups to major projects, businesses adopting DAO models are unlocking new levels of trust and innovation. How do you see DAOs transforming the future of business?

What an event TOKEN2049 was! The energy was so good, even in a tough market. Here are my major takeaways: - ⚡️ Steady optimism: Despite the challenging market conditions, the atmosphere was buzzing with excitement. #TOKEN2049 was one of the liveliest events I've attended, showcasing the resilience in the crypto space. - ⚡️ Asia as a Web3 hub: The crypto scene in Asia is booming. Singapore and Dubai are becoming prime destinations for crypto projects, builders, and key opinion leaders. - ⚡️ VC landscape evolution: It's getting tougher for startups to raise capital, but Singapore is seeing a surge of new venture capitalists with flexible, multi-sector strategies. I met with funds like DWF Labs, Funders.vc, ASKR Ventures, Croc Capital, AdLunam Inc., V3V Ventures, Exponential Age Asset Management, SBI Ven Capital Pte Ltd, soonami.io GmbH, B1, Good News Ventures, Outlier Ventures, BitGo Ventures, , Nadathur Fareast Family Office, The Global Emerging Markets Group (GEM), Republic, Tensor Ventures, and Beacon Venture Capital. Exciting collaboration possibilities ahead! - ⚡️ Tech momentum: ZK/L1/L2 products are gaining significant traction. Bitcoin DeFi is also on the rise, signaling new opportunities. During the 2-day event, I connected with about 190 individuals, including around 50 from the investment community - VCs, hedge funds, accelerators, and more. As a business angel, it was the perfect place to find the right partners for co-investment, discuss future rounds for my portfolio companies, and explore new opportunities for my clients. TOKEN2049 wasn't just another conference - it was a reaffirmation of resilience of the crypto community. 🌟
