2021 was a wild ride for the BlueZilla family and for the cryptocurrency industry as a whole. In this year, the industry experienced periods of staggering growth, as well as months of declines. Nonetheless, one thing was made clear in 2021 — BlueZilla is a force to be reckoned with.
Throughout 2021, BlueZilla set up an incredibly strong presence across multiple blockchains and began operating at the intersection of promising new projects and the users/investors that want to help these projects flourish and share in their success.
In line with this, BlueZilla has delivered dozens of highly sought-after projects to our rapidly growing community, democratizing access to some of the most lucrative opportunities of 2021 while helping to kickstart more than a few burgeoning new crypto ecosystems and verticals.
Today, we take a look back at the incredible year that was 2021, and finish up with a quick look at our plans for the next year!
Let’s dive in!
A Year of Impressive ATHs
If there is one thing that BlueZilla has become known for in recent months, it’s the impressive performance of the projects we host throughout our ecosystem of launchpads.
In 2021 alone, more than a dozen of our launches achieved an ATH multiplier of more than 100x, while several projects went much much further.
The top 10 best-performers alone (shown below) achieved an average all-time high of more than 300x compared to the IDO price, and all are still trading substantially above IDO price to this day.
To put this into perspective, MetaVPad, PulsePad, ADAPad, and WagyuSwap all count among the top 10 best performing IDOs of ALL TIME. Not just in the BlueZilla ecosystem, but across any and all launchpads.
BSCPad became one of the first truly accessible project launchpads in 2021, giving users a way to access promising projects building on Binance Smart Chain and other closely related ecosystems through a single platform. This platform solidified BlueZilla’s role in the blockchain startup space by placing a major emphasis on quality, sustainability, and most importantly — results!
The reasons behind our consistently strong performance largely boil down to the strength of our community, partnership network, and due diligence process. By working with only the best, and carefully working with projects to fine-tune their tokenomics, internal processes, and roadmaps, we ensure they can achieve long-lasting success while providing incredible opportunities to our supporters.
Having built arguably the most well-informed community in the blockchain space, we are proud to say that none of this success would have been made possible without you — our loyal users and partners.
Community Growth
In 2021, BlueZilla witnessed what can only be described as meteoric growth in its community, with all major socials and channels multiplying in size since they launched.
Our social media coverage now exceeds more than 1.6 million followers across all BlueZilla ecosystem projects, with an extremely diverse and widespread community. Similarly, impressive metrics are also seen on Telegram, where our announcement channels frequently top 50,000 unique participants, giving us significant reach and our projects major exposure.
We can now be considered one of, if not the largest communities in the blockchain space — largely thanks to our shared vision to democratize access to sought-after opportunities across the most popular blockchain platforms and niches.
Many BlueZilla ecosystem tokens now have upwards of 15,000 unique holders and are growing by the day, indicating the long-term steady growth of our holder base. Moreover, many BlueZilla launchpads count among the most widely distributed tokens on their respective blockchains — positioning BlueZilla as the dominant ecosystem for promising new blockchains projects and opportunities.
Establishing the Best Performing Launchpad
BSCPad now stands as the most profitable launchpad in current operation by current return on investment (ROI). The average BSCPad project currently stands at a whopping 1800% ROI, while the average ATH is a staggering 6400%.
To put this into perspective, the average BSCPad project achieves a staggering 24% higher returns than the closest competitor, with almost all launches generating an impressive ROI for participants.
This is largely down to the success of our recent expansion efforts, which has seen our launchpads capture some of the hottest projects launching on alternative blockchains and in up-and-coming niches — including play-to-earn gaming, the metaverse, and digital collectibles.
As BlueZilla continues to ramp up its expansion and grows in both influence and prestige, we will continue to select and democratize access to the most promising projects — giving our community access to opportunities that are simply not available anywhere else.
Changing Trends
It’s no secret that the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry moves fast. So fast, in fact, that in just over a decade it has grown to rival the traditional payments industry and is arguably on the cusp of displacing traditional banks and financial institutions.
While this blistering growth presents a huge number of opportunities for those in the know, the industry is becoming increasingly convoluted and difficult to navigate. Moreover, it is becoming increasingly difficult for individuals to stay on top of the latest trends — which typically results in missed opportunities (whether knowingly or not).
At BlueZilla, we strive to provide our community with access to the cutting edge of what the blockchain landscape has to offer. Practically, this means scrutinizing the market to tease out trends and project where the market will be weeks, months, and potentially years ahead of time.
In 2021, several long-term trends were either elaborated or kicked into a higher gear, including:
- Play to earn and blockchain gaming
- Web3 and the Metaverse
- Non-fungible tokens and yield-bearing assets
- Decentralized finance (DeFi)
- Cross-chain/interoperability
BlueZilla was among the earliest movers on several key trends in 2021, helping our community gain access to highly sought-after opportunities and benefit from our behind-the-scenes analysis of the industry as a whole.
As you may have noticed, many of the projects launched by BlueZilla operate in one or more of these key verticals and were among the first movers.
Cross Chain Ambitions
At BlueZilla, we are firm believers that no single blockchain platform will dominate in the future.
Instead, we are more likely to see a full-fledged cross-chain landscape, where each platform has its own developed ecosystem of products, services, and experiences.
Though there will inevitably be some overlap between blockchains and services, we strongly believe that the strongest examples of each protocol/application will gain significant market share and will be made accessible to users on other blockchains through a system of bridges and more elaborate interoperability technologies (like Polkadot).
In line with this thinking, we have made a conscious decision to expand our horizons to other platforms, helping to democratize access to the new projects developing there, while setting up the infrastructure that builders and creators need to gain funding, users, and the partnerships they need to thrive.
So far, we have helped forge new ground on promising layer-1 blockchains including PulsePad, Velas, and Cardano, where we will help form a crucial intermediary between promising new projects and users through a network of launchpads.
In time, we hope to establish a BlueZilla presents on every major chain, helping to provide a secure source of financing for groundbreaking new projects, while ensuring that the native users and supporters of each blockchain are ones that benefit most from its growth — rather than the whales, insiders, and massive funds.
Thoughts From Our Community
“Had I heard this from anyone else, I wouldn’t have believed them. Yet it happened to me. My initial $100 thousand investment turned into a portfolio worth $4 million at ATH in 2021. Sending my deepest gratitude to the Bluezilla team from a very happy Bluezillionaire!” — Thomas Thomas
“I was lucky enough to get into the BlueZilla launchpads right at the beginning, back in March 2021. Having seen the success of Polkastarter on the Polkadot network, I wondered whether there was anything similar for the Binance Smart Chain. A quick Google brought up BSCPad and I couldn’t believe my luck — the whitelist was just about to open and there were only 200 participants. I made it into the first 1000 which enabled me to eventually become a Blue Diamond and a top tier holder in all the other Bluezilla Launchpads which were subsequently released.
Thanks to Bluezilla, I am now in a position where I can pay off my mortgage and never need to work again if I don’t want to. I spend a lot of my time now trading the different projects which get released and generate a nice passive income through all the generous staking rewards on the various launchpads. BlueZilla really has changed my life!” — Jamie Harvey
“One of the best crypto plays I made in 2021 was immersing myself in the Blue Zilla universe. I started off small but compounded my gains until I reached Blue Diamond level in October.
Barring a couple of exceptions, I am up on every IDO I participated in, and this does not include future further tokens that are currently vested at the time of writing this.
Great work Team BZ, and thank you” — Chris Farrell
Our Plans for 2022
Moving forward, we fully intend to continue tracking the market to identify early-stage opportunities for our community — whether that be by exploring new layer-1 and layer-2 solutions, promising new niches emerging on existing chains, new use cases for existing technologies, or even disruptive innovations that will displace pre-existing projects, protocols, and infrastructure.
Coming up, we will be moving into the Polkadot ecosystem with DotPad — helping to open access to the burgeoning Polkadot/Kusama/Substrate landscape.
We will also be taking on industry streaming titans with Verve, a fully decentralized content creation, streaming, and monetization platform — and that’s just in January.
In the weeks and months ahead, we will unveil several more ambitious projects, including one of the first order book-based DEXs on a prominent layer-1 blockchain, as well as a powerful metaverse-centric project that could disrupt the way users perceive value in the metaverse.
Over the last year, we’re proud to have gathered what can only be described as one of the finest communities in the blockchain space today.
Full of innovators, noise-makers, out-of-the-box thinkers, and more than a few decorated veterans and KOLs, we can’t express how grateful we are to lead such a dedicated, diverse, and downright eclectic community.
You are our inspiration, and we work hard every day to make sure we live up to your expectations and deliver on our promises.
Here’s to an amazing 2021! We can’t wait to kick things into second gear in 2022!
