The Arweave (AR) SWOT Analysis

The State of the Market: Today the total cryptocurrency market capitalization fell to a new 2018 low of $188.6 billion. This means that $642 billion has left the market since the cryptocurrency market hit an all-time-high of $830 billion in December 2017. Earlier this week Ethereum dropped to its lowest price in a year, and today Litecoin dipped below $50 for the first time in 2018. Fortunately, there is a bit of positive news. Canada’s Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) will allow First Block Capital Inc. to provide the first regulated Bitcoin Trust in the country. The fund permits investors to invest in Bitcoin through their retirement savings plan and tax-free savings accounts. Currently the cryptocurrency market capitalization stands at $188.6 billion.

Are you a <a href="https://hackernoon.com/tagged/blockchain" target="_blank">blockchain</a> startup looking to raise funds for your project or to launch an <a href="https://hackernoon.com/tagged/ico" target="_blank">ICO</a>. One of the best strategies to seek initial funding for your crypto project is to reach out to VCs that are already looking for promising startups and great teams to invest in.

Today, one of the biggest problems plaguing the blockchain industry from moving forward is its inability to scale. This is no secret, so there has been some notable scalability projects like: the Lighting Network, Plasma, Side-chains, Mimblewimble, etc, but the most interesting one to me is the concept of sharding. Ever since Vitalik introduced a sharding proof of concept for Ethereum there has been a tremendous amount of chatter about this technology. One particular project that takes a novel approach to sharding is Zilliqa. This project goes beyond splitting the entire state of the network into a bunch of partitions called shards. Zilliqa can actually separate the state and the transaction history of the blockchain. Meaning, every single node in their network will have a copy of the current state but the transaction history will be split into pieces across different nodes. I feel that with their aggressive road map, impressive team, funding, go to market strategy, and innovative approach to sharding this may be a top ten coin in 12 months.

Zilliqa the Holy Grail of Scalability?

Earlier this year, Singapore played host to the World Digital Assets Summit an event that was largely successful prompting the need for a similar summit before the year comes to an end. The next version of the event will be hosted in the United States.

As everyone knows, cryptocurrencies had a fantastic year in 2017. As more tokens, investors, and startups joined the space, scalability emerged as a serious issue. Blockchain scalability is a key element for mass adoption and further growth of the industry. We all know the CryptoKitties example which caused the Ethereum network to slow down due to an enormous backlog of transactions. Since then, awareness increased for more scalable solutions.

With the creation of the <a href="https://www.howeycoins.com/index.html#testimonials" target="_blank">HoweyCoins website</a>, the SEC proved both that they have a sense of humor AND that they understand many of the issues surrounding crypto-asset issuance. Now comes the hard part, however, which will be to provide companies and/or distributed projects with clarity on how they can issue crypto-assets to the public. The SEC has provided a clear example of what NOT to do, so now it is time for them to clarify what issuers SHOULD do, when raising money via a coin offering. This is necessary to avoid disadvantaging US investors and entrepreneurs in the global marketplace for an important new technology.
