Most teams are building in the dark. Because they're working hard? Nobody shed the light on them? Simply support by the word? No - nobody's giving them the feedback, that they deserve. Most organizations collect opinions from multiple counterparties and stakeholders, only to arrive at a vague, often contradictory conclusion with no clear path forward. IRT changes that by providing feedback that actually matters - insights that come from people who've already seen the market, watched hundreds of projects rise and break and know what actually holds up before key milestones. You can't fix what you can't see. And the hardest thing in Web3 isn't building - it's knowing if what you built survives outside your own echo chamber. That's what the Inspira Research Table is for. 3 selected projects. 5 experts who review for a living across Security, Product, Token Flow, Growth, and Tech. Each one tells these teams exactly what's strong, what's missing and what to watch. Public. Independent. Real. Read Round 1, Article 1 here below Projects evaluated: @rasterfinance · @DeCharge · @ZNSConnect Experts on the table: - Andrew Kim (@andrewkim5913), Head of Ecosystem at @Galxe - Leonarda Rajeckyte (@LRajeckyte), Lead of Business Development at Atlas Oracle (@CoinMarketCap) - Sahil Teekay (@SahilTeekay) Token Design Lead at @GSR_io - Kamron Usmanov (@kkama0011), Cybersecurity Solution Specialist at @Hashlock_ - Sahil Sen (@sensahil) , Senior Developer Advocate at @Quicknode Supported by @cmclabsofficial Round 2 applications will be opening soon.

@hafagonia For sure @hafagonia, do you have any recommendations for $ONDO utility and projections on the impact?

@SahilTeekay It's massively lagged because of this.

@FearsomeLamb789 This isn't universally applicable, but agree with you that it's true in a lot of cases. B&B works especially great to capture value in a system that uses tokens to incentivize the supply side and distributes in exchange for stable on the demand side.

4/ Compound, don't destroy Buy time and optimize for survival Treat revenue as strategic ammo Don't burn as an admission that you have run out of ideas

1/ Token burns look good on dashboards, but they waste cash flow Buyback-and-burn feels proactive, but burning revenue bleeds funds that eventually keep the protocol alive Rational is that which optimizes for survival

Web3 is going to eat the esports industry alive. While esports giants struggle to find sustainable revenue models, @PirateNationFDN is quietly yielding $600,000+ in a SINGLE MONTH of gameplay at current value. If we annualize that, it's close to $8million USD. This would be in the top 15 purse sizes for esports events, with only 3 games having larger earning pools: Dota 2, Fortnite and Arena of Valor. The difference, and what makes this an outlier, is that this prize pool is regenerative. This prize pool is put up by a startup experimenting with tokenomics, not a multi-billion dollar company burning cash for market share. Web3's token economics create self-sustaining prize pools that grow with community participation. No more begging sponsors for tournament funding or hoping for viewership to justify costs. Tokens serve as in-game and tournament sinks that naturally increase the reward pool. @PirateNation isn't an outlier. @Axie_Infinity distributed over $1B to players. @StepnOfficial rewarded millions for physical activity. Web3 games are becoming legitimate income sources, not just entertainment. While this tournament is simply an experiment with distribution mechanics and fair play, I would have loved to have tools like this at my disposal during my time at @riotgames. The economic alignment between players, developers, and investors is revolutionary. What's remarkable about @PirateNation's approach is that this PVP Tournament has remained largely free of the bot farming that plagues typical web3 airdrop campaigns. High skill players have naturally eliminated most farming attempts through competitive gameplay. By forcing players to compete directly rather than just grind, the tournament creates a dynamic meta where players must constantly innovate to stay competitive. This is genuine skill based competition, exactly what esports should be. Web3 gaming isn't just competing with traditional esports, it's reinventing it from the ground up. $600K tournaments with sustainable economics are just the beginning. The next generation of competitive gaming belongs to player-owned economies. Watch this space.

/arc_angels arc is teaming up with @AbstractChain — an innovative l2 in crypto focusing on consumer apps to bring evm compatibility to rig — our rust-based ai agent framework. together, we’ll foster new devs building ai-powered apps on abstract. stay tuned for a new era of on-chain ai. we build rig, rig builds us

HLV is excited to announce its partnership with @OverworldPlay by @XterioGames, one of the most successful NFT launches of 2023. We’re looking forward to expanding Overworld's ecosystem via our high-caliber advisory practice. More news to come...

The framework is based on the 8 core drives of human motivation - 1) The belief that you are doing something greater than yourself 2) The drive to make progress and overcome challenges 3) A creative empowerment to figure things out 3/n

This framework is super useful for designing incentives and mechanisms. It was built by carefully analyzing the systems that games use to keep players motivated and entertained. 2/n

As a thumb rule, it is better to design your tokenomics to bring the final round price as close to (but below) $1 in keeping with the unit bias Although most investors are getting savvy and use the market cap, you can still expect to raise slightly more with a larger supply 5/n

1) Based on your fundraising goals, you arrive at a price for the final round. This price needs to be low enough to remove the barrier to entry. But also not too low ($0.00X), which makes the project seem 'scammy' 4/n

Step 2 - Understand the current/ target users A few ways to do this include creating customer journey maps, conducting surveys, or looking at how customers have behaved in similar situations and similar projects in the past. 5/n

Step 1 - Define the goals of the incentives Create a vision for the desired state and set your goals accordingly. This will largely be shaped on the value proposition of the start-up and the launch strategy. 4/n

5/n Scenario 2/4 A trader opens a leveraged long ETH perp position worth $80K, leaving the net exposure of the GLP pool to be $20K worth of ETH. If ETH goes up by 10%, the trader’s $80K ETH position gains $8K. LPs gain $8K, to what should have been $10K

4/n Scenario 1/4 A trader opens a leveraged long ETH perp position worth $80K, leaving the net exposure of the GLP pool to be $20K worth of ETH. If ETH declines by 10%, the trader’s $80K ETH position loses $8K. LPs lose $2K, to what should have been $10K.
