Blockchain macro indexes: DEFI, NFT, DAO, ORACLES, TOKENIZATION, DEFIN

[ppp00]

Hello fine Sers!

I landed to this forum via the great Defiant video about RedTelephoneCrypto / $DEGEN token. I am totally stonk’ed about the idea of crypto-indexes since it’s nearly impossible to follow a 24/7 markets that moves at the speed of light! Plus, historically, indexes beat most of the active traders (in traditional markets) so here we are ready to replicate this in crypto!

In this proposal I’d like to discuss the macro indexes that IMHO we should be looking at, in terms of potential for future growth. In my view they are:

1. DEFI
2. NFT
3. DAO
4. ORACLES
5. TOKENIZATION

1. DEFI

We already got the awesome $DEGEN index idea for high potential small caps:

Application for the DEGEN Index

A great initiative @redphonecrypto …have been (re)reading / (re)listening all of your writing & interviews such that I give full justice to all the hard-work you’ve put in the past few months. Where can I find the discord channel(s) for $DEGEN ?

and I see discussion around creating an even more degen $DEGEN2 index for micro-cap. NICE!

There’s also another proposal here (I am not convinced by this one…), even though it does not really cover the DEFI blue chips:

New Tokens for CC and DEFI Indices

IIP x: CC and DEFI Token Update Vote on Snapshot Authors: pr0 Just an update to the tokens for the CC and DEFI cats as they meet the reqs. The following tokens are proposed. CC Sushi LRC 1Inch DEFI Sushi LRC 1Inch Please leave other tokens you feel should be included as well as a why or why not.

In my view, $DEGENx should cover the DEFI small/micro caps, but we should also think about a broader DEFI blue chips index, something like pieDAO index DEFI+L:

PieDAO

2. NFT

Happy to see there’s already something in discussion:

NFT Focused Index Proposal

As most everyone is likely aware, the NFT market on Ethereum (and elsewhere) is exploding, with many speculating it could rise in popularity similar to DeFi’s recent ascent. Indexed is in a great position to capitalize on the NFT segment, as there are many people who do not want to collect NFTs but do want to speculate on their value. An NFT-focused index could be comprised of multiple asset types: governance tokens tokens used within a project’s ecosystem NFTs themselves Right now I am awa…

3. DAO

Nothing found so far in the forum, I think we should be start looking into this.

4. ORACLES

Yes we have!:

Oracle Top 5 Token Index proposal

To be clear on this point (not directly @'ing you, just whoever reads this): the index will contain the top five at any given point [and at the time of writing, that was the contents of the list that @pr0 wrote]. There’ll be a wider selection of potential candidates to step into the void if they meet the ‘top 5’ criteria at the expense of an token that’s currently in the list. Hence, the proposal is likely to include LINK, UMA, BAND, ORAI and API3 to start, with NEST, DIA, REP, DOS et al as pa…

5. ASSET TOKENIZATION

Lands and physical items are starting to get tokenized, see here for example:

The Sandbox (TheSandboxGame)

We need to create an index for this!

Happy to discuss in this great forum! To the victory!

I also like what Radiantkoin suggested which was DEFINS or insurance sector. NXM, BMI, NSURE, CVR, and others

Makes sense, here the updated list for discussion, then:

1. DEFI
2. NFT
3. DAO
4. ORACLES
5. TOKENIZATION
6. DEFINS

Any other macro area that we should expect expanding/booming in 2021?
