DeFi Meta Chain — Special Report.
A two-part research report on DeFi architectures, on NFTs as part of a DeFi ecosystem, and on the structural consequences for collectors, artists, and platforms.
The report was published in 2022 and treats DeFi and NFTs as one connected shift. Both PDFs are hosted by our research partner. The text is in German.
Part 1 of 2 — Foundations and architecture
What a "DeFi Meta Chain" is, where NFTs enter as instruments, and what follows for the platform economy.
Part 2 of 2 — NFTs as an ecosystem opportunity
How NFTs move from a stand-alone use case into an integrated DeFi architecture, and what roles artists, collectors, and infrastructure take in that process.
Note: this report is from 2022 and reflects the market understanding of that time. For current digital-art commentary see the journal, for direct exchange the Mastermind.
