Sun Zu Lab reveals the mapping of the blockchain and crypto universe
Whether we’re talking about Web3 projects building silently during the bear market or emerging protocols at the height of the bull run, the blockchain ecosystem is more abundant than ever.
Undoubtedly, whether we observe this rich environment with the eyes of a newcomer or in the light of a certain experience, it’s becoming complicated to keep a watchful eye on all the projects that are coming out of the ground, or adding to it day after day.
It is precisely to address this issue that Sun Zu Lab, a French company specializing in quantitative analysis, has decided to publish a comprehensive mapping of the Web3 ecosystem, listing over 500 companies and projects present on numerous blockchains, all based on metrics including market capitalization, total locked value (TVL), revenues and adoption.
Sun Zu Lab first presents blockchain infrastructures, divided into 3 distinct parts: programmable blockchains, blockchain services, themselves divided into sub-sections (interoperability with Polkadot, staking with Kiln, scaling with Arbitrum), and utility applications (oracles with Chainlink or Pyth, wallets with MetaMask, developer tools with The Graph, etc.).

Next, Sun Zu Lab offers an overview of the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem, which today boasts 100 billion in total locked value. Leading the way are decentralized exchanges (DEX) Curve and Uniswap, while the Compound and Aave protocols make up the bulk of the lending and borrowing section.
The staking sector is also present, represented by giants Lido ($33 billion in TVL) and EigenLayer ($13 billion in TVL). These are currently the 2 largest DeFi protocols in terms of TVL.

Finally, Sun Zu Lab presents an overview of companies and services from the traditional financial sector that use blockchain technology.
Here, we can find players in real-world asset tokenization (RWA), venture capital firms, or data services, particularly concerning platforms that offer analysis on various metrics relating to cryptocurrencies (centralized exchanges, histories, benchmarks, etc.).
