1.《EVM is not online yet, how to evaluate the future of Hyperliquid? 》
fmoulin7, Crypto Kol
Hyperliquid attracts users through low fees and strong incentives, with an estimated first-year incentive of nearly $1 billion and an inflation rate of 11.65%. After the launch of EVM, it may become an important platform for new DeFi protocols to drive the growth of HYPE demand. The platform makes profits through transaction fees and token auctions, and fee allocation is automatically executed to support staking rewards, platform operations and token destruction. Increased capital inflows, especially through Kucoin, will drive HYPE prices if more market funds can be attracted. However, centralization and EVM transition risks may affect user experience, and investors need to be cautious and do research.
2.《From the timestamp of on-chain data, when will this bull market cycle peak? 》
Murphy, on-chain data analyst
There are two core concepts in the on-chain data analysis of BTC, namely "timestamp" and "price stamp". The transparency of the blockchain allows us to observe each on-chain transaction and identify two key details: 1. The time when the chip movement occurs: timestamp; 2. The price when the transaction occurs: price stamp; When we analyze the transition of phased trends, the data used, such as turnover cost, profit realization, demand inflow, and hot supply, are mainly based on "price stamp". If we want to observe and analyze the timeliness of the BTC cycle, we need to use "timestamp" more. Each BTC exists in a UTXO, and the timestamp function of UTXO means that each BTC has an age, which does not refer to the time when it was mined, but the time from the last move to the present.
