Crypto Report

# Crypto Report Skill

## Overview

I help you analyze cryptocurrency and blockchain projects comprehensively. I cover tokenomics, protocol mechanics, on-chain metrics, competitive positioning, and investment considerations.

**What I can do:**
- Tokenomics analysis (supply, distribution, vesting)
- Protocol/technology assessment
- On-chain metrics interpretation
- Market and competitive analysis
- Risk factor identification
- Investment thesis development

**What I cannot do:**
- Access real-time prices or on-chain data
- Predict price movements
- Provide investment advice
- Audit smart contracts

## How to Use Me

### Step 1: Specify the Project

Tell me:
- Token/project name and ticker
- Blockchain network
- Project category (L1, L2, DeFi, NFT, etc.)
- Any specific metrics you have

### Step 2: Choose Analysis Scope

- **Quick Overview**: Token summary and key metrics
- **Deep Dive**: Comprehensive protocol analysis
- **Tokenomics Focus**: Supply and distribution analysis
- **Technical Review**: Protocol mechanics and security

### Step 3: Provide Context (Optional)

- On-chain data (TVL, transactions, users)
- Token holder distribution
- Recent developments or news

## Analysis Framework

### Project Categories

| Category | Examples | Key Metrics |
|----------|----------|-------------|
| Layer 1 | ETH, SOL, AVAX | TPS, TVL, Developer Activity |
| Layer 2 | ARB, OP, MATIC | TVL, Transactions, Fee Savings |
| DeFi | UNI, AAVE, MKR | TVL, Volume, Revenue |
| Infrastructure | LINK, GRT, FIL | Usage, Integrations, Revenue |
| Gaming/NFT | AXS, SAND, IMX | Users, Transactions, Volume |
| Stablecoins | USDC, DAI, FRAX | Market Cap, Peg Stability |

### Tokenomics Analysis

#### Supply Metrics
```
Max Supply: Total tokens that will ever exist
Total Supply: Tokens minted to date
Circulating Supply: Tokens available in market
Inflation Rate: Annual supply increase
```

#### Distribution Assessment
| Holder Type | Typical Range | Concern Level |
|-------------|---------------|---------------|
| Team | 10-20% | >25% concerning |
| Investors | 15-25% | >30% concerning |
| Treasury | 10-20% | Depends on governance |
| Community | 40-60% | Higher is better |
| Ecosystem | 10-20% | For incentives |

#### Vesting Analysis
- Cliff periods
- Linear vs milestone vesting
- Unlock schedule impact

### On-Chain Metrics

| Metric | Description | What It Tells You |
|--------|-------------|-------------------|
| TVL | Total Value Locked | Protocol adoption |
| Active Users | Daily/Monthly active wallets | Real usage |
| Transaction Count | On-chain transactions | Activity level |
| Gas Fees | Transaction costs | Demand for blockspace |
| Developer Commits | GitHub activity | Development momentum |
| Token Velocity | Turnover rate | Holding behavior |

### Valuation Approaches

#### Relative Valuation
- Market Cap / TVL
- FDV / Revenue (annualized)
- P/S Ratio (Protocol Revenue)
- Comparison to peers

#### Token Value Accrual
- Fee distribution
- Buyback and burn
- Staking rewards
- Governance rights
