At @alliancedao , we receive around 3,000 applications per year to join our crypto startup accelerator. We collect data such as the blockchain they use, product type, and geographic location. Because of the large sample size and our neutrality to these factors, we are able to gain unique insights into how the industry is trending.
ブロックチェーン
Layer 1
Ethereum remains the dominant ecosystem. However, Solana is recovering after bottoming out in the second half of 2022, which may be related to the collapse of FTX in the same period. Bitcoin is experiencing a resurgence amid the craze for ordinarys, runes, and Bitcoin L2 technology.

Ethereum Layer 2
Focus on Ethereum L2 (and sidechains). Over the past 3 years, Optimistic rollups have gradually gained more attention. Notably, in the first half of 2024, Base accounted for more than a quarter of startups built on Ethereum L2.

Product Trends
An increasing number of startups are focusing on infrastructure, DeFi, payments, and the combination of AI and cryptocurrencies, often at the expense of NFTs. In these areas, the development of infrastructure and AI is consistent with the trend of public discussion. However, the rise of DeFi and payments may surprise many people because there is hardly much public attention on them. Coincidentally, we believe that these two areas are also one of the few verticals in which cryptocurrencies have found clear product-market fit (PMF).

Note that this is an imperfect way to categorize products, as these categories are not mutually exclusive. For example, a startup may operate in both the gaming and NFT space, in which case we would assign a weight of 0.5 to both gaming and NFT.
Geographical distribution
In the first half of 2024, we see a record low percentage of startups from the US and Canada, and a record high percentage of startups from Asia and Africa. This is likely due to 1) increased regulatory uncertainty in the US, and 2) increased real-world adoption of cryptocurrencies in emerging markets.
Overall, North America, Europe and Asia remain the three major regions, each contributing 1/4 to 1/3 of all startups.

What starts here may be more appealing to founders and VCs. If you are one of them, keep reading.
Founder Background
Big Tech
The percentage of founders with a Big Tech background peaked in 2021 and is currently at 30%. We define Big Tech as the tech companies in the SP 500. The exact definition is not important; what matters is the trend over time.

Top universities
Likewise, the percentage of founders graduating from top universities peaked in 2021. We define top universities as the QS world鈥檚 top 100 universities.

Repeat founder
About 1 in 10 founders had previously founded a startup.

Team Composition
Team size
More than half of startups have a team size between 2 and 5 people. We believe this is the optimal size for pre-market fit (PMF) startups.
Team size
Number of co-founders
Less than 40% of startups are founded by a single founder. For reference, various studies show that 20-30% of unicorns were founded by a single founder.
Number of founders
Equity Distribution
Among startups with two or more co-founders, about half split the equity equally, while the other half do not.
Equity Distribution
Remote work
Nearly three-quarters of startups adopt a completely remote work model.

Original source: TechFlow What is coming will eventually come. Pump.fun, a meme park that can post thousands of memes a day, announced on its official Twitter account today that its platform now supports live streaming. First, the Kardashian family released Jenners drama, and then American celebrity Iggy released the celebrity currency Mother. Under the influence of the traffic economy, a live broadcast room that can issue coins and have conversations at the same time can obviously meet the needs of the majority of leeks. The live streaming sales method that is popular in China has finally reached the cryptocurrency world. Instead of rewarding beautiful women and watching celebrities promote products, it is better to reward developers and buy some memes for appreciation. Once Pump.funs live broadcast function is launched, it…
