In an effort to better inform the crypto ecosystem on ongoing fundamental changes and major developments on Venus, Messari is proposing to write quarterly research reports. This would serve to attract more builders, entrepreneurs, and investors who would then provide value to the overall network once they are more aware of these core project fundamentals.
All reports would live as free resources on Messari and would be distributed through their newsletter (230k subscribers) and various social channels, now also including Thomson Reuter’s Refinitiv in addition to S&P Global and Bloomberg to their redistribution partners which will get the Venus Protocol reports on 3 of the largest TradFi research platforms in the world
Rationale: Currently, there is a high barrier for those within existing project communities and the broader crypto world to stay informed and up to date with all of the major key performance indicators and protocol-level changes. While there are various analytics dashboards, blog posts, and messaging channels, it is still cumbersome to have a strong understanding of all the important happenings going on. This leads to a misallocation of resources, both time and money since there are investors, developers, and users that are not acting with the full breadth of knowledge at their disposal.
To alleviate this problem, many of the largest projects and DAOs are expending additional resources to better surface a lot of this core information. These initiatives are serving to increasingly professionalize this industry, however, what is still missing is the proper contextualization of this data from an independent third party that would allow an outsider to gain better insight into what’s going on.
Venus is proposing the commissioning and payment of Messari's services through it's already existing DAO Operation Fund, at no additional cost to XVS Holders or Venus Treasury.
