Quick Take

  • In this bi-weekly series, we look into some of the most interesting data and developments across the various sharded blockchains
  • Near and Aurora remains the largest shard chain by TVL, with a relatively robust ecosystem that is still active
  • Elrond appears to have fallen off in terms of TVL, but user metrics indicate that Elrond’s ecosystem is still growing at a steady pace
  • Harmony has lost a significant amount of TVL prior to the Horizon bridge hack, but the TVL has stayed low post-hack, indicating that liquidity is unlikely to return to the ecosystem
  • Zilliqa has made bold moves venturing into the metaverse and gaming space, though it remains to be seen if these are the right solutions to tackle Zilliqa’s lackluster adoption
