a16z dropped State of Crypto 2025 — and it’s not a report.
It’s a blueprint for the next financial era.
We’re past the debate of whether adoption will happen.
The question now is: through which interface will it reach the next billion users?
📊 Key takeaways from a16z:
716M people now own crypto.
181M active on-chain addresses
40–70M monthly active users — up +10M this year
Blockchains now process 3,400 TPS — a 100x jump since 2020, approaching NASDAQ scale
$30B of real-world assets already tokenized (corporate bonds, treasuries, equities)
Stablecoins hold $150B+ in U.S. Treasuries, ranking among the top 20 global holders
Moving $1 via stablecoins costs < $0.01 and takes < 1 second
For the first time, regulation enables tokens to complete the economic loop — where value accrues directly to holders, not intermediaries
This isn’t a speculative playground anymore.
It’s a functioning, revenue-generating economy.
//
And that changes the entry point for everyone.
The next wave of adoption won’t come through CEXes.
It’ll come through wallets — the new front door to the internet of value.
📱 @TrustWallet is already positioned at that front door.
Its success was built on a simple but powerful promise:
freedom, security, and ownership in your hands.
And over the years, it has quietly executed:
#1 self-custody wallet, 35% market share in downloads and active users.
210M+ installs, growing through every market cycle
4x YoY revenue increase (2023 → 2024).
$30B+ in user balances secured.
$1B+ average monthly swap volume
$750M+ TVL in Earn (staking) products
ISO/IEC 27001 & 27701 certified — first wallet globally to achieve security + privacy accreditation
100+ currencies supported, serving both developed and underbanked regions
100+ blockchains integrated — true cross-chain leadership with bridging, swaps, and the new FlexGas (EIP-7702) feature
Established interoperability standards: ERC-7779 & ERC-6900
A global Trust Squad community across Asia, Africa, North America, and Europe.
Trust Wallet isn’t just a product.
It’s the user layer of Web3 adoption.
When crypto transitions from speculation to utility — from traders to citizens — this is where the world will log in.
When you control the wallet, you control the on-ramp to the on-chain economy.
And that’s why $TWT isn’t just a token — it’s the key to the next financial operating system.
$TWT CODED - 10b$ cap just for start.

DeepSeek @deepseek_ai is now live on Heurist.
Open source AI just reached new heights.
Access DeepSeek-R1 and DeepSeek-V3 for smarter inference at a fraction of cost.
Try it via Heurist API or explore on Pondera.
If you were to queue up lending protocol users, they would line up to cover about 60% of California's length.
In contrast, queueing up all Web3 wallet users would encircle Earth's circumference 1.3 times over.
The potential for wallet native Credit is magnitudes larger. ⚙️🧰
Massive news. The @ElizaOS_ai whitepaper has dropped, showcasing how Heurist's infrastructure powers the future of decentralized AI.
Our Technical Director Frank @gpt3_eth worked alongside researchers from @MIT_CSAIL, @GoPlusSecurity, @AIMEProtocol, @ton_blockchain, @StoryProtocol and @0G_labs to lay out the blueprint for web3-native AI infrastructure.
Shoutout to @shawmakesmagic and @samuel_ys92, for leading this groundbreaking initiative and bringing the ecosystem together.
⚡This is production code running live, not theoretical research.
What we've built:
- Enterprise-grade AI infrastructure
- True serverless deployment
- Production-ready inference endpoints
- Full blockchain integration
This infrastructure already powers:
- @ElizaOS_ai Framework
- Hundreds of AI Agent projects in the trench
- Billions of inference requests processed
The future of AI demands robust, decentralized infrastructure. We've shipped it, scaled it, and are expanding it with the best in the space.

The infrastructure for web3's AI is here. And it runs on Heurist.
AI Agents, AIFi, DeFAI - Heurist has supported numerous developers building towards this new future
...and soon we'll be launching our own 💪
Let's start this 2025 with some ∆⛓️
21 days without liquidation at @GearboxProtocol and counting...🕰️
While the market faced chaos and cascading liquidations, Gearbox stood strong.
→ Correlated debt
→ Reserve oracles
→ High LTVs
This fabric is building something big and we always want the best for our collaborators ⚙️💪
Heurist x @ai16zdao: The decentralized AI journey continues
We're proud to be powering the Eliza ecosystem through:
> Serverless AI integration - zero GPU/CUDA headaches
> Free API credits & technical & BD support
> Academic research collaboration

One sixth of the world uses credit cards. Not even one 50th of onchain users use lending protocols...
But they all use wallets. DeFi grows when credit comes natively to everyone's wallets. ⚙️🧰
