No. 1 Loot vs. No. 4 OlympusDAO

Loot

Could the number 1 seed have been any other project? Dom Hofmann’s innocuous tweet and smart contract deploy quickly became the only thing CT talked about. An experiment of on-chain loot item NFTs, the Loot Project consumed the hearts, minds, and Twitter fingers of nerds, devs, and VCs alike. Hundreds of developers and creators leveraged Loot to visualize the NFT characters, shipped collections that complemented Loot like Realms, forked the idea to create GTA/Mafia/other spin offs, and even created governance structure around Loot, mLoot, and $AGLD.

OlympusDAO

The ponzu that launched a thousand forks. OlympusDAO is a bold experiment that seeks to create a decentralized reserve currency -- backed by a treasury of assets. They coined the term “Protocol-Owned Liquidity”, were the inspiration behind DeFi 2.0, and pioneered the concept of discounted bonds. They also created the (3,3) meme that spawned a million renditions that can be seen in any CT profile right now.
