Five Things Splendor Does Better Than Tokens Ranked 200 Spots Higher
Splendor (SPLD) ranks #1114 on CoinGecko with a market capitalization of just over $10.9 million. But what happens on the backend doesn't reflect the story told by its price. There are 5 measurable vectors where SPLD and its flagship Splendor Plus outperform a majority of coins ranked hundreds of places higher. $0.37 tells you nothing of Splendor's 2.3 million TPS capability.

Metal Blockchain Price Disconnected from Developer Growth by 300%
Metal Blockchain has over 750 credit unions. They have FedNow certification and outright purchased a fintech CUSO. And yet Metal Blockchain price is $0.142. Market cap $72 million. Ranking #359 on CoinGecko. A valuation not seeming to fully appreciate just how much big-money adoption this project has experienced over the past 18 months. Is METAL being undervalued? Or are these institutional partnership metrics not as good as they seem?

Pyth Token Holders Control Nothing and That Might Be the Point
Here's one popular thesis about crypto governance tokens: without meaningful vote over how the protocol makes decisions, there's no intrinsic value to holding the token. PYTH holders have no vote on oracle parameters. They can't shift incentives for data publishers. They can't decide what fee schedule the protocol will honor. Any pyth token price prediction model that incorporates traditional governance expectations should reach one conclusion: this project is doomed. But what if PYTH works best as a non-governance token?

LCX Exchange Quietly Built What Coinbase Should Have
At press time, LCX token price is $0.041, down 92.5% from all-time highs. With total market capitalization below $40 million, Liechtenstein-based exchange LCX seems like little more than rounding error to most crypto traders. What they aren't seeing: while Coinbase spent years litigating with the SEC, LCX spent those years building out the compliance-first infrastructure MiCA now requires of every exchange operating in the EU.

Sahara AI Just Solved the Wrangler Problem Nobody Saw Coming
There's a sales pitch that every decentralized AI project tries to use. "Open data." "Open compute." "Open models." What they never discuss is who handles all the mess that happens between. Sahara AI, trading at $0.026 with a $76 million market cap, has been quietly building what it describes as a "wrangler framework" for autonomous agents since long before it was cool to do so.

SKY Governance Token Holders Control $8B in Assets Nobody Talks About
Sky Protocol voters voted this week to slash the protocol's daily token buyback program by 87%. Sky lowered their buyback from $300,000 USD per day to $37,600 on March 13.

A March 13 vote just changed $78 million of annualized capital allocation by the approval of a couple thousand voters.

Theta Wallet Just Got Smarter Than Most Crypto Apps
Most theta buyers view the theta wallet as nothing more than a token storage application. Desktop users click "Stakes" and the majority end their browsing there. This DeFi primer will explore the on-chain nuances, working mechanisms, and unsung features that distinguish passive holders of theta coins from active participants in the theta ecosystem.

Decentraland Isn't Dead and the Virtual Land Data Proves It
"Is Decentraland dead?" If you spend any time on Crypto Twitter, doom-scrolling Reddit threads, or ogling bearish YouTube thumbnails, you'll see this question at least once a day. MANA has languished around #155 by market cap, far beneath last year's peaks, and anyone with something to say about the failure of the metaverse will reflexively trot out that "ghost town" rhetoric. It's a catchy claim until you bother to look at the facts.
