DeFi nyder en produktiv start på 2023: DappRadar-rapport

Decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols experienced a boom in total value locked across different staking pools in January 2023. The market hit $74.6 billion worth of staked assets, increasing by 26% from December.

I sin seneste månedsrapport skitserede DappRadar væksten i DeFi-sektoren sammen med foryngede nonfungible token-markeder (NFT), der også har haft stigninger i handelsvolumen og salg.

Optimism emerges as the top DeFi performer, seeing a 57.44$ increase in total value locked (TVL) at $808 million. Blockchain Analyst Sara Gherghelas told Cointelegraph that Optimism’s transaction volumes were likely driven by a “learn-to-earn” incentives program that ended midway through January.

A sudden drop in daily transactions on Jan. 17 suggests that educational incentive programs might play a role in driving DeFi adoption and onboarding as Gherghelas explained:

"Ved at give en praktisk læringsoplevelse kan disse incitamenter hjælpe brugerne med at få en dybere forståelse af DeFi-teknologier og de potentielle fordele, de tilbyder, og derved fremme en større adoption og brug af DeFi-produkter og -tjenester."

Solana saw a 57% increase in its TVL to reach $548 million, driven by Marinade Finance’s introduction of a token incentive scheme rewarding SOL depositors with liquid staking derivative mSOL. The protocol reached $152 million TVL between December 2022 and January 2023.

It’s not all positive for the Solana ecosystem, with platform Everlend annoncere its closure on Feb. 1, citing a lack of liquidity for shutting down its service.

Ethereum’s upcoming Shanghai upgrade is also driving staking in DeFi due to the expected opening of withdrawals from Ethereum staking contracts. Lido Finance flipped Maker DAO as the largest DeFi protocol in January, driven by popularity of liquid staking derivative protocols.

Ifølge Gherghelas har Lidos flydende indsatsløsninger vist sig at være et stort trækplaster for brugere, der ønsker at maksimere indsatsafkastet.

"Det, der adskiller Lido fra andre DeFi-protokoller, er dens innovative staking-løsning, som giver brugerne adgang til flydende Ether-staking uden at forpligte sig til det traditionelle minimum på 32 ETH."

Lido oplevede over 8 milliarder dollars i værdi satset på sin platform, en stigning på over 36 % siden december 2022. Gherghelas fremhævede det seneste opsving på kryptovalutamarkederne, der bidrager til stigningen i DeFis TVL:

"Kryptomarkedet har været bullish, hvilket har ført til en stigning i investorernes tillid og en tilstrømning af kapital til DeFi-området."

NFT'er har også haft en genopstået start på året. Handelsvolumen nåede $946 millioner, hvilket er en stigning på 38 % måned for måned og det højeste handelsvolumen set siden juni 2022.

Ethereum dominerer stadig NFT-markedet og tegner sig for 78.5% af det samlede handelsvolumen til en værdi af $659 millioner i januar. Yuga Labs havde en god måned med $324 millioner i handelsvolumen fra deres eksklusive samlinger.

NFT collections DeGods and Monkey Kingdom helped drive a 23% increase in Solana’s NFT trading volume. Meanwhile, Polygon saw a significant 124% jump in its NFT trading volume and a total of 4.5 million NFT sales, driven in part by the Collect Donald Trump Cards.

Som Cointelegraph udforsket at the end of 2022, unique active wallet data (UAW) comparing 2022 to 2021 showed a 50% increase, with DeFi, NFTs and blockchain gaming-driven activity and trading volumes.
