IDEX, the once DEX market leader, has lost the limelight to Kyber and Uniswap, which are constantly vying for the top spot.

The 24h net peak volume of all Ethereum DEX nearly touched the $35M mark, with an approximate trade per unique address of $6,000. The reasonable value of volume per user hints that ETH DEX volume is not wash traded.

Builders at work.
Tesla has released major announcements over 2019, with each leading to a major price action. Interestingly, some led to price plummets.

Seemingly, it wasn't even the viral announcement of the Cybertruck that pushed the stock up. The rally began with Model X receiving the record scores in Europe. This is rationalized by the fact that European countries are adopting electric cars at a faster pace than even the US.

Will TSLA Outperform Bitcoin in 2020?

In its present state, DeFi developments are still nascent platforms, but this has not hindered their ability to attract millions in deposits. This makes exploitations, even non-technical ones, rewarding for abusers.

The greater problem here, though, is bZx team's incompetency at handling disastrous events and absolute disregard for users' funds.

Not only did they get hacked (twice within days), they also used their master key to try and revert some of the losses, making the concept of DeFi moot by showing to the public that their "decentralized" finance protocol is both unsafe and centralized. A key highlight for why developers should avoid self-managing their PR.

It gets better—or worse, rather.
The bZx team admitted to have unaudited contracts on mainnet, then denied, chopped, and delayed payments to those who helped them, and refused to notify users about a problem they were aware of.

Despite competing in technical and business development against coins like EOS and Cardano, Fetch and Elrond have a market cap that is 100x to 200x smaller.

The proportional gap between tech. dev. and mcap eventually flattens, as shown by the market caps of coins like Lisk and Waves.

How Important is Tech Dev to Valuation?

Ever since blockchain graced the tech world with its presence, smart contracts have been its most ground-breaking killer app. In fact, they have rapidly become a must-have innovation for businesses. This amazing piece of technology allows you to conduct transactions, make transparent deals, automate processes, exchange money, property, or anything of value – all without lifting a finger.

The dApp ecosystem is growing at tremendous speed. Decentralized applications are popular because they are open-source, decentralized and incentivized. Ethereum has allowed developers to run their dApps on top of Ethereum's network but unfortunately, the sheer amount of dApps has collapsed Ethereum's network a few times as the ETH blockchain can only handle a few transactions per second.

The need for more scalability and high transaction throughput is definitely growing. www.avalabs.org knows this and focuses on providing a dynamic smart contract platform that removes the need for forks using a community consensus system for upgrades.

AVA is a truly decentralized platform that allows users to vote and impact the network while providing developers with high transaction speed and scalability.

The need for more scalability and high transaction throughput is definitely growing. AVA Labs knows this and focuses on providing a dynamic smart contract platform that removes the need for forks using a community consensus system for upgrades.

AVA (www.avalabs.org) is a truly decentralized platform that allows users to vote and impact the network while providing developers with high transaction speed and scalability.

The Avalanche consensus mechanism was published in mid-2018 and was implemented by AVA labs. This new consensus mechanism aims to create a network without any leader as all nodes have equal status here.

AVA has been able to demonstrate more than 5000 transactions per second with each transaction taking around 1-2 seconds to process and finalize.
