1995: Amazon is just an online shop for books.

2005: Netflix is just a DVD-in--mail service.

2021: NFT is just jpeg you can right click & save.

It's amazing how many smart people can get the facts very right & yet still comprehend nothing.

Excited to announce that I have officially resigned from Tradfi and will be joining the Web 3 revolution.

Thought I would make a thread introducing myself and my journey.

My DMs are open now so feel free to message me - would be great to make some new friends🧵.

[Ben Liu @beanz_io]

once you understand the custody landscape & TAM, it will make sense why strategic partnerships / integrations are so key

this is how $QRDO will compete with (& service) current MPC (Fireblocks, Copper) and traditional (Anchorage, Onchain) custody sols

5/7 Qredo’s investor pool also includes a broad range of strategic partners including @Coinbase, @NexoFinance, @Figment_io, @CelsiusNetwork, @DeribitExchange, @wintermute_t , @cmsholdings, @ledger_prime, @GSR_io and @3commas

[Ben Liu @beanz_io]

its also important to comp $QRDO vs the custody solutions landscape / TAM...

I understand the confusion re: L1/L2 comps - given there are currently no other tokenized (& decentralized) custody sols at scale in the market

https://t.co/rENvFM3t34

[Ben Liu @beanz_io]

@F_Z_F_Z_F @QredoNetwork Appeal to mainstream usership is only 1/2 the story bc qrdo is B2B2C. Custody solution for institutions - whales, banks, hedge funds, CEXs = billions of txn vol

For mainstream usership, it’s not just qrdo wallets, its CEX integrations. A CEX could custody on Qredo = more txn vol

@JoshGoodbody @jonathanjchang @0xPolygon @QredoNetwork @bspector @sandeepnailwal @0xsachi @0xsachin love to see it ⛓️🚀

[Ben Liu @beanz_io]

@F_Z_F_Z_F @QredoNetwork Fireblocks doesnt have a token, but they've just 3.3x'd their customers (150 - 500) and ~5x'd their ARR in 2021. They've settled over 1tn txn since launch (1.5y) = hence potential adoption in magnitude of trillions

https://t.co/IcjSCZ4NOb

[Ben Liu @beanz_io]

1/7 @QredoNetwork could be the next trillion dollar solution tackling blockchain interoperability whilst enabling institutional adoption. $QRDO.

Everything checks out, but there has been concern re: tokenomics. I wrote this piece to address that:

https://t.co/CnXdQIt1hB

[Ben Liu @beanz_io]

@F_Z_F_Z_F @QredoNetwork Yes, they are not the perfect comps bc there are currently no other custody solutions w a token at scale - comparison to L1 (sol,avax) and L2 (polygon) protocols only applies re: tokenomics + huge TAM

A better comp product-wise would be Fireblocks (centralized MPC custody)

[Ben Liu @beanz_io]

@Sherwoodcapita1 @QredoNetwork Appreciate it 🙏🏻

[Ben Liu @beanz_io]

@cryptomaggs @AyushDua17 Thanks for the catch 🙏🏻

[Ben Liu @beanz_io]

7/7 $QRDO's amazing TAM, tech, team, and near-term catalysts give the protocol huge potential - it would be a shame to miss out on something this revolutionary

In the meantime, we should pay close attention to how the tokenomics shake out, and size accordingly #DYOR

[Ben Liu @beanz_io]

6/7 This deep dive into Qredo’s comps and investors does not give us all the answers to our tokenomics concerns, but it provides us with a more complete view of the potential mitigants and what may be next to come for the protocol
