Research

We believe Filecoin is at an inflection point, as product-oriented founders are building on Filecoin with a keen focus on the feature-rich enterprise apps, tooling, and importantly, the bottom line. Unlike most crypto ecosystems, whose fundamentals are highly circular and correlated to the crypto industry, storage and cloud services are stable, sticky, and uncorrelated with crypto markets. The historical lack of capital on Filecoin, coupled with potentially relatively stable fundamentals versus crypto peers, makes the Filecoin ecosystem an attractive opportunity.

Starknet: Scaling Bitcoin

Blockworks Research

Bitcoin is entering its L2 scaling era, with several significant developments on the horizon. The proposed reintroduction of OP_CAT could enable advanced functionality like permissionless bridges and validity rollups. Starknet's STARK-based infrastructure and Shinigami offer promising scaling improvements and faster syncing capabilities. Additionally, Adamantium presents an innovative solution for data availability by introducing Power Users who maintain trustless custody while preserving scaling benefits. While these developments show great promise, implementation faces challenges due to Bitcoin's characteristically cautious approach to protocol changes.
