welcome back everybody to altcoin daily smash the like button if you appreciate us coming at you and
in today's video i want to put five six seven different cryptocurrency projects on your radar
and tell you why i think they're gearing up to have a massive 2022 it's either building
integration development because of what these projects are doing in the space we'll recap some
of their 2021s because some of these projects have built great momentum in 2021 but more than that
we'll talk about what these projects are doing in 2022. if there is a coin that you wish us to cover
on this channel going forward in 2022 comment that cryptocurrency below like the video again if you
appreciate us you know it takes two seconds it truly does help out our channel with that being
said let's get into it solana has seen so much success in the past 9 to 12 months i suspect in
2022 over the next nine to 12 months that momentum will continue now how do we define success in this
case i'm talking about monthly active users and amount of solana staked and people who are using
some of their most popular interfaces so let's talk about their success their momentum and talk
about why this will continue in 2022 solana's phantom wallet perhaps their most popular hot
wallet i suspect even solana fans in our audience probably i would suspect a lot of you probably
haven't even used their most popular wallet and that's why i think there's opportunity for growth
phantom wallet sees record growth over 1.8 million monthly active users in nine months this is a huge
number yet it's a drop in the bucket when we're talking about addressable markets so if you're
unfamiliar solana is one of the most popular blockchain platforms in the world right now
it's highly regarded in the blockchain community because of its speed and security since it uses
proof of history it's also eco-friendly solana has become a very attractive cryptocurrency in 2021
as its value soared by more than 5000 in a mere eight months phantom the wallet is undoubtedly
amongst the fastest growing wallets within this ecosystem it incorporates staking it offers
support for ledger nano x devices hardware wallets it gives access to nfts and digital collectibles
good ux good ui now drilling down on active users and staking phantom was undergoing beta testing
in april 2021 and saw a four thousand four hundred percent increase from forty thousand users in july
to one point eight million users in december the team tweeted in just nine months we have grown to
over 1.8 million monthly active users with no signs of slowing down this looks like awesome
growth now when it comes to staking solana runs through the proof of stake consensus hence its
users secure the network by staking their soul so more people staking would be a good thing now
phantom their most popular wallet platform has over 1 million in saul staked so it's had such
a good 2021 why am i so bullish on this because it just got out of beta in 2021 and in 2022 there's
really no signs of slowing down the trend is your friend the momentum is still continuing despite
enormous growth the desktop browser-based crypto wallet has no plans to slow down in addition to
expanding to over 10 million users the company is working on finishing up its mobile applications
for ios and android so in 2022 you'll be able to download this mobilely and i suspect they're
monthly active users the amount staked all of this stuff will continue as nfts become more popular
solana is secure it's cheap it's differentiating itself from ethereum and for that reason i think
solana is gearing up for a great 2022. next coin i think is going to have a big 2022 it's had major
accomplishments in 2021 in 2022 i think that will continue i'm talking about polka dots so
let's talk about where they are polka dots ongoing parachain rollout so polka dot within this last
year has just started rolling out parachains if you're still unsure what this does for polka dot
i'm going to explain but polka dots ongoing pair of chains rollout represents the final launch
phase for its multi-chain sharded architecture following rigorous testing optimization auditing
initially carried out on test nets like rococo and canary network kusama so unlike a year ago from
today when pair chains weren't rolled out over the last few months pair of chains have rolled out and
if you don't know what a big deal this is for polka dots ecosystem let me explain this to you
so auctions and crowd loans on polka dot differ drastically from things like icos
ieos ideos since holders are not compelled to transfer control of their dot in exchange for
the project's tokens big differentiator in fact dot is actually returned if projects lose an
auction bid slot holders meanwhile reimburse supporters when their lease expires so that's
a key differentiator project teams cannot use dot at their discretion or sell it on the market
instead they benefit from access to scarce network slots fee generation opportunities and pair chain
token launches so assuming this trend continues assuming companies try to get on polka dots pair
chains which i think they will by the end of the first batch of auctions somewhere between
4 and 4.5 billion worth of dot is likely to be locked up for nearly two years reducing potential
cell pressure and circulating supply on the market not only does this demonstrate faith in polka dot
and dot over that period but it incentivizes hundreds of thousands of supporters to become
active users in the ecosystem as it's in their best interest so you can see why dot is gearing up
for a big 2022 speaking of projects which continue to build which continue to implement which
continue to keep going despite the haters cardano needs to be mentioned they've done big things in
2021 and they're gearing up for a big 2022 so take a look leaders in total development activity in
2021 cardano is at the top of the list if you want to know more about cardano's bowl case in 2022
check out this interview we did with crypto jeb he explains a lot of the value prop in 2022
and again i just encourage you guys to look into it things are a lot different now than they were
a year ago cardano's ecosystem is growing by leaps and bounds every day attention crypto
holders attention crypto traders do you invest in crypto do you trade crypto
if yes i have a major opportunity that i need to clue you into most people in crypto do not know
that they can take advantage of this you should be investing you should be trading with choice
ira app a retirement account trade invest with choice and you pay zero zero capital gains tax
they offer thousands of traditional assets and tons of crypto assets you can buy crypto
with choice you can trade crypto with choice these guys are a proud sponsor of our channel
you could hold your own keys if you want their fees are low and highly competitive the bottom
line is if you think your bitcoin ethereum and cryptocurrency assets are going to be worth a lot
of money in the long term why not put a portion of your stack in the choice app so you won't have
to pay any capital gains tax your future self will thank you take advantage of this use our
link and receive fifty dollars in free bitcoin when you set up an account take advantage of this
let me know if you did so 2021 was the year of l1s ethereum interoperators and competitors
as you can tell i think a lot of that momentum will continue for a lot of quality l1 projects
however in 2022 i think this will be the beginning of the year of l2s i suspect polygon matic
will continue its momentum in 2022 so let's do a little recap dear polygon fam in 2021 we achieved
a lot 100 million plus wallets three thousand plus apps one billion plus transactions six new scaling
solutions and integrations top web three names like uniswap ave openc all bridging and coming
over to matic big brands like dng nfl macy's happy new year let's keep the magic going i think this
is just the start and i think 2022 will be more of the year of l2s and matic is surely a contender
next coin making our list today is one of the top coins in my portfolio talking about bitcoin of
course a lot of people talk about the flipping i think in 2022 bitcoin will still remain number one
because of metrics just like this bitcoin's hash rate opened 2022 by hitting a new all-time high
the decentralized network has never been more secure bitcoin to me is like a savings account
make tons of great gains in cryptocurrency portion of those i always put back into bitcoin because
bitcoin it's not really a get rich quick scheme it's a don't get poor slowly scheme am i right
so enough with bitcoin enough with l1s enough with l2s let's talk about some other projects in the
space i would be remiss if we didn't mention the ecosystem and different metric growth that chain
link has saw in the past year now it's interesting because price hasn't really achieved an all-time
high anytime soon yet we see so many great metrics like this so i think chain link is certainly
one to watch in this next year but in 2021 it was nothing short of exceptional experiencing
exponential growth to over 75 billion total value secured over 1 000 end of year integrations and
much more so how is chain link going to continue this momentum in 2022 well they have three major
initiatives for chain link in 2022 the release of ccip release of link staking abstraction layer for
enterprises listen to this in the coming year in order to create these new services and these new
categories of activity that will jumpstart entirely new and innovative uses for smart
contracts there are three key initiatives that are being planned for the chain link network and that
are being planned for uh the coming year those key initiatives are the release of ccip the release of
staking and the solidification of chain link as an abstraction layer for enterprise and of course to
me the big one out of those three is the staking staking in the chain link network is set to be
released within this coming year this comes as multiple chain link oracle networks have reached
profitability based on user fees alone listen to this this is something that we are planning to
release or a version of this is planning to be released in this coming year we do plan to see
staking and staking rewards being made possible this coming year and now that we have reached
a certain level of profitability for some of the oracle networks in the chain-link set of networks
um we feel that it's that it's a good time to to do this this is obviously a very complex problem
because just like oracle networks generate a unique form of decentralized computation different
from blockchains the staking that is applied to that unique form of decentralized computation
also needs to be unique and so we have been you know feverishly working on different aspects
of staking and how to make sure that both the security benefits and all of the proper incentives
are in place to generate the maximum pro maximum degree of security so do not count chain link out
they're continuing to upgrade and implement in 2022 do not count d5 blue chip ave out
first announcement of the year ave is building a mobile wallet of course ave is a d5 protocol
originally on eath borrowing and lending in a more permissionless way let's talk about their 2022
ave gearing up to accelerate its growth the defy money market platform ave has revealed plans to
launch a new mobile wallet for users in 2022 it is also set to expand to curve finance and sushi
swap to scale its markets in fact scaling of the ave protocol could boost ave's user base while
pushing on-chain activity on the platform i think that's correct recently the protocol's genesis
team launched a cross-chain governance bridge this will help the protocol be governed across multiple
networks from the mainnet governance in addition to that the ave community is working on enabling
gasless voting and making governance inclusive for users on the network all in all with a set
of targets for the first quarter of next year ave seems to be gaining momentum especially as far as
ecosystem-centric developments are concerned so ave for sure makes our list today again if there
is a cryptocurrency that has big plans in 2022 let us know in the comments below and let us know what
they're doing subscribe to the channel join the team see you tomorrow it's gonna be a great year
