| Our Newest Blockchain Investor Scorecard: Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) |
|
| The Internet Computer Protocol aims to establish a decentralized Internet, like the Web, but with the advantages of blockchain.
The native utility token, ICP, powers the platform, allowing users to stake, vote, and run decentralized applications.
But is ICP a good investment?
We've just released our Blockchain Investor Scorecard for Internet Computer Protocol. Premium Members can download it here.

|
| 2024 has seen the intersection of AI and crypto gain momentum. This Grayscale report explores three key areas where AI and crypto overlap: verifying content authenticity, reducing AI model bias, and improving access to AI development.
Investors take note: AI-related crypto assets are still hot. Also, check out the growing utilization of decentralized GPU marketplaces like Akash and Render, which could grow in prominence if the AI/crypto trend keeps growing. |
|
| Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks are also hot. DePIN, a combination of physical and digital resources like wireless networks and data storage, aims to decentralize and improve traditional infrastructures.
Those who believe in the promise of DePIN could consider now an excellent time to invest in the sector in its early days. Helium continues to emerge as a leading use case. |
|
| A recent P2P lending protocol PWN report indicates significant growth in Ethereum's Layer-2 networks, particularly Arbitrum and Optimism, with a 400% fee increase from 2022 to 2023.
We think fees can be considered analogous to sales at traditional companies. Growing fees is a good way of identifying L2s that have found product-market fit and are in a good position to win long-term. (See chart below.) |

Despite all the recent hype about Solana, note that Ethereum is crushing it in terms of fees. Even Layer-2 protocols like Arbitrum and Optimism (OP Mainnet), both built on top of Ethereum, are outperforming Solana. Don't believe the hype. |
