Thread337 words42 likes
Argues Union, a ZK-powered interop layer scaling IBC beyond Cosmos, will be a major player and that the official NFT collection likely gets a UNO airdrop. Benchmarks against interop FDVs and notes Berachain and Movement partnerships.
Key claims
Interop FDV benchmarks: ZRO $4.5B, W $2.2B, OMNI $890M, AXL $650M
Mainnet and TGE expected Q4/24 or Q1/25
Partnerships with Berachain and Movement
🪂 Union 0_______0 Alpha 🪂
The Wandering Whale Sharks are the official @union_build NFT collection.
Pretty sure they will get a $UNO airdrop and this could be a big one.
Let me give you the TL;DR ⤵️
Union is the sovereign and permissionless interop layer of the modular stack, powered by cutting-edge ZK tech that allows Union to scale IBC beyond the @cosmos ecosystem.
This will be a major player in the interop game and a leader on the ZK front.
For reference, let's have a look at the FDV of other leading interop solutions:
➤ $ZRO at $4.5B FDV
➤ $W at $2.2B FDV
➤ $OMNI at $890M FDV
➤ $AXL at $650M FDV
Waiting on more information on the @WhaleSharkNFTs collection and details around the mint, but considering the expected FDV range for Union, the airdrop per NFT will likely be more than just dust.
Again, this is the official Union NFT.
Testnet has been live for some time (very successfully) and I expect mainnet and TGE within the next months (either Q4/24 or Q1/25).
With modular season heating up again, @union_build is generally a play you should have on your watchlist. Don't fade the testnet.
Union has partnerships with @berachain, @movementlabsxyz, has a strong foothold among rollups/L2s in the Ethereum and @CelestiaOrg ecosystems, and could quickly reach some meaningful adoption in many of these emerging on-chain economies.
With protocols like @elys_network or @Flutonio (among others), there is already projects emerging that are building with @union_build's tech, while other (major) integrations are yet to be publicly announced (both on chain and app level).
🪂 Bonus Alpha: The @CelestineSloths are a very active element of the @union_build community and both team and main account engage a lot with the sloths. CTO @corcoder and @0x_Robbie (team) both have sloth pfps already too.
NFA but DYOR anon.
