What is the crypto ecosystem?

The crypto ecosystem is a system of many products that connect and support each other within the blockchain, and each blockchain is now like an infrastructure provider, and they will also want to develop a complete ecosystem of their own.

The main parts of a complete crypto ecosystem will be:

  1. Transaction and payment services: The most basic needs of blockchain are transactions and payments. The small blocks inside will include: chips, smart contracts, and wallets.

  2. DeFi: This is the most watched piece of the puzzle today, and most blockchains are trying to fully develop this puzzle. DeFi provides users with trading, lending, savings and other needs without the need for a third party. The main components of DeFi will include stablecoins, DEX, lending, synthetics…

  3. Social and entertainment: The next demand will be social interaction and entertainment. Currently, the main components of this market segment are NFT, games, gambling...

  4. Enterprise Blockchain Solutions: Finally, the application of blockchain in practice, in some fields such as finance, supply chain, healthcare, education...

The most outstanding ecosystem in crypto today

Generally speaking, the current blockchain Chia has three main levels:

  • The first layer: includes Ethereum and BSC, which are currently the two largest ecosystems with fully integrated parts. We will use them as standards to compare other small projects.

  • Top 2: Including Solana, Avalanche, and Polkadot, full of potential ecosystems, but still lacking some fully developed parts.

  • The third layer: very new ecosystems with almost nothing, including Near, Cardano, and Dfinity.

Ethereum Ecosystem

Balanced Scorecard Ecosystem

The Solana Ecosystem: The Missing Piece of the DeFi Lending Puzzle.

Polkadot Ecosystem: While all the pieces are complete, core parts of the infrastructure are not yet complete.

Cardano Ecosystem: There are still many hard problems to be solved, such as stablecoins, lending, synthetics. The number of projects is still small.

Investment opportunities in the ecosystem

CoinViet has often mentioned the word ecosystem recently, because when the game starts to develop into many chains, a strong ecosystem is the weapon for chains to compete with each other.

Only the blockchain that fully develops the necessary parts, fully meets user needs and retains users will be the ultimate winner.

Opportunities also come with a well-established blockchain, and investing in the missing pieces is also a strategy many people are adopting today. #BTC #ETH
