I've stumbled across some fascinating startups over the past few weeks. Some brand new, some more established. Here are 10 companies I think are worth watching closely, and why I find them interesting👇

After a very red June...it's nice to see some green in July. 🇬🇳

Which tokens have performed best & worst over the past 30 days? 👀

Live Developer Activity now at ✨gokustats.xyz/developers✨ Quickly grok the number of weekly commits and active developers by ecosystem 🚀

Binance Smart Chain $BSC is now the most used smart contract platform in the world 🤯 Source: GokuStats

SO COMPOSABILITY IS REALLY IMPORTANT CONCEPT IN CRYPTO SO OPEN SOURCE PROJECTS ARE REALLY IMPORTANT WHICH MEANS IT ALL DEPENDS ON IF ECOSYSTEMS HAVE GOOD DEVS AND WHERE DEVS ARE GOING BUT YOU ALSO HAVE TO WATCH OUT BECAUSE NOT ALL DEV ACTIVITY IS THE SAME

Everyone's favorite leading indicator--> Where are the devs building? 1st: #ETH (2xs the nearest competitor) 2nd: #Polkadot (what am I missing here?) 3rd/4th: #Solana and #Cosmos (no surprises) via GokuStats

Congrats to Sweatcoin! With 120m installs and 13m accounts already on-chain and continue quickly growing they just enabled transfers/staking. This is coming to be the biggest app in #web3 right now

Finally, a key key stat for future growth of apps is dev share. Ethereum has almost as much active dev share than the next four top protocols. 👉 follow @Artemis GokuStats

How can Eth get all the BSC users on it? Even with L2 users counted Eth has less users than BNB. Main hurdle is Binance being people’s main on-ramp and BNB being the default on Nance.

5. Unique contracts deployed DIY: GokuStats Here's why: - Developer activity is a leading indicator for application building and ultimately mainstream user adoption Zooming in: - $ETH $BSC and $MATIC lead the pack - Deployments are an order of mag lower on non-EVM chains

7. Twitter followers DIY: GokuStats Here's why: - Follower count has actually proven to be a solid proxy for community strength historically, even tho #'s can be gamed! - Also an indicator of distribution/ability to reach end-users Zooming in: - The power of CZ 🔶 BNB 👀

Additional future catalysts: • Hey Arbitrum, wen Odyssey 👀 ? Arbitrum is already huge share gainer amongst L2s, and this will drive spike in awareness/volume GokuStats • Multi-chain expansion. Polygon | POL guys are trying to woo GMX 🫐 Who's next? /21

We've evolved 📈
