- The AlphaQuest report reveals that Cardano hosts a significant number of “Dead Coins,” with 74% of projects in the ecosystem meeting their demise.
- Despite this, thriving projects like Wanchain highlight the potential for resilience and success within the Cardano network.
In the ever-evolving landscape of cryptocurrencies, survival of the fittest is not just a theory; it’s a stark reality. Recently, a report by AlphaQuest has sent ripples across the crypto sphere, shedding light on the fate of numerous projects born during the 2020-2021 bull run. Among the findings, one standout revelation is Cardano’s position among the top chains hosting what the report terms as “Dead Coins.”
AlphaQuest’s exhaustive analysis delved into over 12,000 crypto projects, unraveling a somber truth – the demise of a significant portion of these ventures. According to the report, a staggering 72% of projects conceived during the bullish frenzy have met their demise, succumbing to the harsh realities of the market.
An insightful breakdown by an Altcoin Buzz host highlighted Cardano and Terra ecosystems among the top 10 categories burdened with the weight of dead coins. The report unveiled a chilling statistic – the average lifespan of most crypto projects is a mere three years.
What defines these “Dead Coins”? AlphaQuest employed four distinct criteria, including low trading volume/liquidity, inactive/deleted X accounts, defunct websites, and delisting from CoinMarketCap. The culmination of these factors paints a bleak picture for many projects.
Diving deeper into the Cardano ecosystem, the report reveals a grim reality – a staggering 74% of projects within the network have met their demise. The average lifespan of these projects barely surpasses two years, with a significant portion failing to see through the first year.
Intriguingly, the report identifies a trend in the sectors most affected by these failures. Video games and music claim a significant chunk, with asset-backed stablecoins following closely. The metaverse, a burgeoning sector, also bears the brunt of this phenomenon.
However, amidst the wreckage, rays of hope emerge. AlphaQuest acknowledges the presence of thriving projects within the Cardano ecosystem. One notable example is Wanchain, a decentralized blockchain interoperability solution garnering acclaim and recognition.
As the crypto landscape continues to evolve, the fate of projects remains uncertain. The AlphaQuest report serves as a stark reminder of the volatility and unpredictability inherent in this space. While some projects thrive, others fade into obscurity, serving as cautionary tales for aspiring ventures.
