Today, we’re excited to share the 2023 State of Crypto Report and introduce the State of Crypto Index. Our 2023 report aims to address the imbalance between the noise of fleeting price movements and the data that tracks the signals that matter, and the durable progress of web3 technology. Overall, the report reflects a healthier industry than market prices may indicate, and a steady cycle of development, product launches, and innovation. The State of Crypto Index is an interactive tool to track the health of the crypto industry from a technological, rather than financial, perspective. To offer a more accurate and nuanced measure of the state of crypto, the index represents the weighted average monthly growth of 14 industry metrics – from the number of verified smart contracts to the number of transacting wallets and more. In other words, the index displays, in a single chart, the rate of innovation and adoption of web3. The tool is also interactive, so you can tweak the parameters to form your own views. Report here: https://lnkd.in/gx5MCDrN One of the key insights that you’ll find from the report is that blockchains have more active users, and more ways to engage than ever before. We’re seeing more monthly active addresses – unique addresses sending on-chain transactions each month – than ever. Last month we saw 15 million addresses, more than twice as many as two years ago when prices were still elevated. One explanation: there are increasingly more ways to engage with blockchains and web3 applications. From DeFi to web3 games – more than 700 of which launched last year – a variety of new applications create addresses for their users to interact with, without having to download or connect a wallet. Check out a few more of the takeaways from the report here: https://lnkd.in/gx5MCDrN Lastly, we encourage you to explore the State of Crypto index yourself. We made the tool interactive, allowing you to tweak the parameters and create different views of the industry. We plan to update the data on an ongoing basis so that it is as accurate as possible over time. If you uncover an interesting insight, please share your thoughts with us!

In this special series of posts continuing our Token Launch Playbook, we cover token "do's and don'ts"; the ins and outs of tokens as part of overall compensation; a new cash flow model for web3 application tokens; and the art of tokencraft. We also share more on how to prepare for token launches, and how to structure deals involving token rights and restrictions — including how to avoid predatory term sheets. See also the first part of this series below, which covers what you need to know before you launch a token, as well as an operational readiness checklist from token creation to custody; rules for token launches and strategies for managing risk; and more.

Our latest podcast episode is all about regional innovation — at both a systems and people level. We cover what does and doesn’t work in making certain places become hubs of innovation and economic growth (aka “innovation ecosystems”). Our special guest — in conversation with editor in chief Sonal Chokshi, is Matt Clifford, who’s played an important role in the London entrepreneurial and tech ecosystem. Matt is the Chair of Entrepreneur First; and is also the Chair of the UK’s Advanced Research and Invention Agency (or @ARIA). Fittingly, this episode was recorded live from Andreessen Horowitz’s first international office, in London. Tune in here: https://lnkd.in/gfMz2YcS
