Web3 Academy: Exploring Utility In NFTs, DAOs, Crypto & The Metaverse
In today's episode, we're joined by Keli Callaghan, early team member at Algorand and now partner at Arrington Capital, to break down the biggest trends shaping crypto markets right now. We dig into the $2.8B surge in crypto VC, the rise of ETH as a treasury asset, and the controversial Pump.fun token launch that some say could signal the end of memecoin mania.~~~~~
Staci Warden is the Algorand Foundation CEO, and Dr. Matthew Brigida is Chief Economist at Algorand Foundation. In June, the Algorand Foundation's tokenomics team released a new study questioning the assumption that TVL is a meaningful investment signal. Despite being widely cited as a proxy for legitimacy, the research found that TVL doesn't correlate with token performance, even when adjusted for known distortions like double-counting. Why you should listen The team analyzed 300+ cryptocurrencies from 2023–2024, simulating weekly long/short strategies based on TVL rankings. The result? No outperformance, no alpha. And no meaningful insight once broader market movements are accounted for. As Pew reported last year, most Americans still don't trust crypto. If TVL continues to be used as a shorthand for credibility, that only adds noise. This paper adds to the growing push for better metrics in DeFi. Algorand's mission is to power a world where information has integrity and innovative ideas can scale. The Algorand Foundation supports Algorand's rapidly growing ecosystem by providing a best-in-class developer environment, supporting key infrastructure and setting technical standards, offering comprehensive support to builders and entrepreneurs, and providing the framework for decentralized governance.

Georgios Vlachos is the co-founder of Axelar Protocol and director at Axelar Foundation. He received his BSc and MS Eng. in computer science at MIT. After graduation, he became part of the Algorand founding team. Axelar is a Web3 interoperability platform, delivering the shortest path to scale: an open stack to connect all blockchains. Why you should listen Axelar is a decentralized network designed to seamlessly connect various blockchain ecosystems, enabling secure cross-chain communication for Web3 applications. By acting as an overlay network, Axelar allows developers to build decentralized applications (dApps) that can interact with assets and functionalities across multiple blockchains, simplifying user experiences and broadening access to decentralized economies. In 2024, Axelar introduced the Mobius Development Stack (MDS), comprising: Interchain Amplifier: A tool that allows for the permissionless connection of new blockchains to the Axelar network, enhancing scalability and flexibility. Interchain Token Service (ITS): Enables the minting and management of tokens across multiple blockchains, maintaining their fungibility and custom functionalities. Axelar Virtual Machine (AVM): Provides a programmable layer for cross-chain logic, allowing developers to deploy smart contracts that operate across different blockchain ecosystems. These innovations aim to establish new interoperability standards, facilitating the development of dApps that can seamlessly operate across various blockchain networks. The native utility token of the Axelar network, AXL, plays a crucial role in maintaining network security through staking, enabling governance participation, and serving as a medium for transaction fees. This tokenomics model incentivizes active participation and ensures the network's robustness and scalability. By providing a comprehensive solution for cross-chain communication, Axelar is contributing to the unification of blockchain ecosystems, promoting greater accessibility, and driving the adoption of decentralized applications across the Web3 landscape.
