ThunderCore’s 2022 Recap

Validated Project

As 2023 kicks off another exciting but possibly turbulent year in the crypto space, ThunderCore would like to extend our warmest greetings to all our community members and ecosystem partners.

Looking back at 2022, we’re proud of the progress we’ve made in advancing our mission to bring about blockchain mass adoption with an entertainment-focused approach. We’ve seen massive on-chain growth in all areas of Web3, from non-fungible tokens (NFT) and decentralized finance (DeFi) to GameFi and the metaverse. Moreover, we’ve onboarded numerous Web2 companies using the ThunderGene API tool, which enables seamless integration of Web3 features into Web2 apps.

Beyond our commitment to on-chain development, we’ve prioritized strengthening our ecosystem retention strategy. We consistently notch over 400,000 monthly active users, lining up even more partnerships to drive user acquisition.

Looking ahead to the new year, we’re excited to share our roadmap with you and continue working towards our goal of driving the mass adoption of blockchain technology.

ThunderCore 2022 in review

ThunderCore rebrands — April 2022

  • New visual identity: Rebranded in April 2022 to visualize our progress in bringing the world of Web2 to Web3, especially in mobile entertainment with our GameFi, SocialFi, and metaverse innovations.
  • TT Wallet revamped: Transformed what had been formerly called ThunderCore Hub into the one-stop-shop storage solution TT Wallet. Improving the function and design of TT Wallet is an ongoing project for us. As new ideas emerge, we continue to add features like NFT displays and dedicated sections for events like the World Cup.
  • Developer funds launched: Introduced the Developer Growth Program and our $100M Web3 Fund to boost great projects in our GameFi, metaverse, SocialFi, and NFT ecosystems.

ThunderGene API Tool

The ThunderGene API tool is an ambitious tool we’ve introduced to deploy Web3 features like NFTs, fungible tokens, and more in any Web2 app. It makes it simple by outsourcing to us the most cumbersome and stressful parts of crypto development.

It has already been used in a variety of projects:

  • GameFi platform Zero Sum Gambit.
  • Educational platform Hei Jiajia Go Classroom for an NFT royalty program.
  • NFT tickets and gaming events with our partner FICO:
  • The Neha and Tony Kakkar’s Metaverse concert: NFT ticketing developed via ThunderGene.
  • Fantastic Football World Cup 2022 Campaign: Released a range of gaming events related to the World Cup, developed via ThunderGene.
  • NFT Taipei Dream Pass for attendees of NFT Taipei, developed via ThunderGene.

Blockchain developments

Last year had no shortage of advances for our blockchain, and we hit many milestones that supercharged our ecosystem.

Here are some highlights:

  • Marked a significant landmark in our blockchain’s development by reaching a block height of 100M blocks.
  • Integrated Co-Mint with Multichain, which opens the door for multiple bridges to mint the same asset, enhancing our cross-chain compatibility.
  • Introduced our first Launchpad, OlympiaPad, which allows developers to build on our blockchain faster and with greater ease.
  • Opened up our chain to PoS staking and welcomed new trusted validators, Huobi and MyCointainer, to secure the network and incentivize our user base with TT rewards.
  • Gave our on-chain developers access to extremely useful cloud-computing credits with AWS.
  • Introduced GraphQL to make querying data much easier for developers.
  • Introduced TT Mining V5 together with the TT Wallet Referral Program to attract new users with incentives and enhance our ecosystem.
  • Completed our ThunderCore 2.0 hard fork, further decentralizing and securing our blockchain while making it more equitable for all users.

Cross-chain bridge

  • Partnered with Multichain to offer our users near-total interoperability in the wider blockchain world. We began the partnership with ThunderCore support for DAI, AVAX, and APE, and are expanding this to more tokens.

DeFi

We anchored many new DeFi projects in our ecosystem:

  • LaserSwap: Uses an automated market maker (AMM) to trade digital assets.
  • CEXISWAP: Supports multi-chain ecosystem assets and breaks the barriers between centralized and decentralized exchanges.
  • PointSwap: Uses an AMM to determine the value of loyalty points relative to one another and then lets users exchange them.
  • SWFT: A payment network and one-stop cross-chain entity that focuses on both centralized and decentralized exchanges as well as NFTs.
  • XY Finance: A cryptocurrency exchange aggregator for DeFi and the metaverse.
  • TT Farm: Supports TT, TT-USDT, TT-USDC, TT-HUSD, and TT-BUSD circulation, setting a precedent for cross-chain gaming.

Exchange listings

  • Listed our native token, TT, on KuCoin.

Fiat-on-ramps

Last year, we introduced many new fiat-on-ramps services to our ecosystem, making it easier for users to transfer funds between our blockchain and the traditional financial system.

  • Partnered with Transak to allow the purchase of BUSD with Euro (EUR)-denominated credit cards through TT Wallet, in addition to TT.
  • Integrated Coinbase Pay to simplify the purchase of any Coinbase-supported tokens. At the same time, we integrated with Coinbase’s Rosetta API.
  • Integrated Binance Connect to access the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange and link our ecosystem with that community.

SocialFi

The dawn of SocialFi is fast approaching, and we have been busy readying ourselves.

  • Worked with the cross-chain Metaverse and SocialFi platform MomentX to let users display their NFT collections in virtual reality (VR) showrooms.
  • About to welcome a new SocialFi Alphagram, which lets users send crypto back and forth through messaging.

Additional efforts and IRL events

  • Launched the Creator Accelerator Program and NFT Trading Competition with NFTmall.
  • Celebrated Bitcoin Pizza Day with OurSong and MomentX.
  • ThunderCore founder Chris Wang attended as a silver sponsor on behalf of ThunderCore at TOKEN2049.
  • Co-hosted NFT Taipei and showcased our achievements in a keynote address by Chris.

Heading into 2023 with wisdom, persistence, and style

ThunderCore now consistently clocks over 400,000 monthly active users on DappRadar, which we’ve achieved through our powerful user-retention capabilities. With new Web2.5 partnerships coming in almost faster than we can process them, we will be onboarding familiar brands with large existing user bases onto ThunderCore.

As a Web3 influencer, our founder Chris Wang will continue to bring to our ecosystem his special touch, which he has developed over a storied career, and help us shepherd users from the old internet into this exciting new space. His theory that user acquisition plus retention will take us to blockchain mass adoption has become our guiding philosophy.

As an entertainment-focused blockchain that believes the next billion blockchain users will get here via mobile entertainment, we will be paying particular attention to the GameFi, SocialFi, NFT, and metaverse spaces in the year ahead. At the same time, we will be doing our best to further develop the decentralization, security, and raw technical power that make ThunderCore the pillar of such a dynamic ecosystem.

Thanks for reading, and we’re excited for you to join us on our journey into 2023!

  • Vitalik: Ethereum Foundation is Not the Central Manager of the ETH Ecosystem, Future Development Will Shift to 'Small and Long-term' Approach

    On May 25, Ethereum founder Vitalik shared his views on the future development direction of the Ethereum Foundation in a post on the X platform. He emphasized that this is just his personal opinion. The board does not consist solely of him, and he does not have more special powers than other board members. Aya Miyaguchi is leading most of the execution work for this transformation, while his own involvement is more focused on technical issues. The board is currently expanding, and his influence within the organization will continue to decline in the future, which, frankly, is what he hopes to see. By 2025, the Ethereum Foundation has made significant improvements in its execution capabilities. Many issues have been resolved, and the foundation continues to benefit from greater efficiency and a stronger focus on specific goals. However, as these issues were addressed, he began to care more about another concern: he often sees people saying, 'Vitalik has always talked about Ethereum needing to be decentralized, having privacy, and becoming a shelter technology, but why do the actions of the Ethereum Foundation not reflect these ideals?' Of course, there are those who hold completely different views. Some do not feel there is a crisis at all, but rather believe that the Ethereum Foundation has finally begun to take execution and business development seriously, and the next focus should be to continue along this path faster and stronger. Vitalik believes that this difference essentially reflects varying sensitivities to different types of criticism, and he is more easily hurt by criticisms regarding deviations from values. Vitalik stated that the Ethereum Foundation should not be 'the center of Ethereum,' but rather 'a node with clear responsibilities, existing alongside other nodes.' In the past, they have always said this, but many people in the ecosystem, including some within the foundation, hoped the foundation would become a true center. Now, they are taking concrete actions to ensure the foundation becomes the latter. This is particularly important because the Ethereum Foundation is essentially a resource-limited and organizationally limited entity. The foundation currently holds only about 0.16% of all ETH, which is even lower than many large ETH holders; whereas many other blockchain projects' 'central foundations' typically control 10%-50% of their tokens. The current Ethereum Foundation has decided to use its remaining resources to pursue 'long-term viability' rather than continuous expansion (which also means they will sell less ETH). The foundation will focus on those things that are crucial for Ethereum to become a censorship-resistant, control-resistant, open, private, and secure system, but that no one else would do if the foundation does not. This means they must make difficult choices. Some projects and individuals they highly respect may no longer belong to the foundation's system in the future. In fact, if they want important tasks to attract external capital, it may be necessary to keep some talented individuals, influential public figures, and those who share the mission and CROPS philosophy outside the foundation. This also means that the Ethereum Foundation will take a clearer and more principled stance on a cultural level.
