Had a little fun with this (sound on).
A quick video of @tradingview powered by Blockworks.
H/T @bread_ and @shaundadevens for the inspiration

Solana appears to be returning to sticky, onchain compute.
Return to permissionless, open liquidity.

NEW: Now covering Exponent Finance
Financials, Yield Markets, Risk Markets & Strategy Vaults.
Exponent is growing beyond its yield derivatives roots, with $69M in TVL across 3 verticals. Its newer Risk Markets and Strategy Vaults already account for 24% of TVL.
ONyc remains its largest asset across all 3 verticals, with ~$36M in TVL.
Loso is a silent killer with high agency.
He came onto the Advisory team in its more formative years and was critical to scaling our IR business.
I gave him a high-level mandate at the end of last year and he ran with it with limited resources, turning Blockworks into the largest (and best) IR service provider in the industry.
He’s going to be missed, but I know he will be successful in his next venture
Last week was my last week at @Blockworks.
I had a great time working alongside the best talent in crypto across data, research, and advisory. Grateful for my time there and for the opportunity to grow.
I still stand by BW having the best onchain data in the industry. There’s a standard carried throughout that looks at networks and applications for what they truly are, and I wish BW continued success in carrying that standard across the industry.
As for me, you’ll still find me in the orderbooks. The world needs an open, transparent, and trustless platform more than ever, recent PA aside.
Stealth mode activated.
Hyperliquid
Great analysis on the accuracy, cost, and speed of leveraging Blockworks’ highly curated data versus varying versions of raw/less-curated data with AI tools.
Blockworks is the market intelligence infrastructure layer for onchain finance.
Sam is exceptionally talented.
He brought a new level of analytical rigor into onchain market structure that very few could.
He’s going to be missed, but I know he will be successful in whatever he decides to do next.

Grateful for the opportunity to work alongside such a talented team, and for everyone who read, challenged and supported my research over the past year. I have a lot of confidence in the direction Blockworks is taking and look forward to seeing what the team achieves.
I remain very bullish on this industry, particularly the themes I’ve been highlighting throughout that time. In my view, we’re still in the infancy of a far better financial system, and I’m eager to play a part in that through research, investing or building.
Excited for what’s next. For those in London, I’ll be around for the next two weeks.
Saw my first R2 IRL. The wife agrees it’s going to become the Soccer Mom SUV of America.
Good job @RJScaringe!

Silvio was a forward deployed legend doing everything from quant work to incentive program design to designing the tokenomics for some huge behemoths.
Great run and you’ll kill it wherever you go next
this was my last week at @Blockworks
Grateful to the company and colleagues.
But also happy to move on to what’s next
I am not exaggerating when I say Silvio is arguably the best full-stack operator I have ever worked with in my career.
A true 0->1 builder.
I’m excited to see what he does next.

Strong agree! @0xMetaLight is an absolute legend and anyone would be lucky to have him.
High agency and cracked
Another legend from the team, responsible for building countless tools.
Type of guy where all you have to do is yap about a product or tool you wish existed, and he messages you the next day that its built.
Excited to see what Nick does next, more great things, surely!

Kunal is an exceptional talent. His ability to identify opportunities across all verticals in this space is unparalleled.
He is going to be sorely missed, but I know he’s going to kill it in whatever he does next
Today’s my last day at @Blockworks.
No regrets looking back. Over the last year, I’ve come to realise that a good research piece is like telling a story, and I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to help numerous protocols tell theirs.
Equally grateful for my time at the company and for being surrounded by some of the sharpest folks I’ve had the chance to learn from.
Let’s see what’s next, but I’m sure this is the start of something exciting.
