Hi DFK Fam -

This is the fourth report of 2022. As noted in the first issue, I’ve shortened the name of this report to The DeFi Kingdoms Whale Watch and Tokenalytics Report. The snapshot was taken on 20 February 2022. Most of you are here because you’ve been following these prior reports or are already a part of the community and are seeing this in Discord, Reddit or my Twitter. For those who are brand new to DeFi Kingdoms or know nothing about this GameFi platform, please see the bottom of this summary for some helpful links (including my index of articles which includes a comprehensive Beginner’s Guide).

Before we get into it, note that I’ve created an index for all of my DeFi Kingdoms articles. I highly recommend bookmarking and following my Medium account so that you can stay current on the latest.

Special thanks to Magg (LP and Hero valuations), MrZipper (Hero count details), Gatreno (the new charts), and to Incognitius for editing help!

WHAT IS THIS? This report focuses on key metrics related to the game aspect of DeFi Kingdoms based on the largest wallets (by xJewel, as wallets participating in the LP Pools may not always be closely associated with the adoption of the game itself and are outside the scope of this report). I also provide some data on the LP holdings of the Top xJewel Wallets. I’ve looked into trying to do a separate table or section just for LP holders and people who have no skin in the actual game (i.e. no heroes, etc.), but it’s not feasible with my limited time to pull that data.

Time since last report: ~14 Days

Analytics (Past Two Weeks)

Condensed this section into one table with the numbers and my thoughts in the right-most column. I get into more details on some of the biggest movements of the Top 10 in the Top 50 Movement section of this report, below:

$JEWEL Charts (Historical Trends)

Adoption Charts (Historical Trends)

Top Wallet Movement

Here is a list of last report’s Top 50 xJewel Wallets as of today, and whether they remain in the Top 50 or exited.

Note: this doesn’t necessarily mean they sold everything; they simply aren’t in the Top 50 xJewel Wallets anymore.

Here is the movement for this week’s Top 50 Wallets:

Highlights:

  • Won’t get too in-the-weeds on the specific increases here, but current Wallets 5 and 6 had very healthy increases over the past 2 weeks.
  • Only one wallet in the top 10 exited.
  • Warm welcome to our new Wallet 8, who is new to the Top 50.
Note that 578 heroes are in custodial wallets, and thus could be owned by some of these Top 50 Wallets, but are not shown in this chart.

LP Holdings and Total Value in Game by Top 15 xJewel Wallets (AND LOCKED BALANCES!)

Here are the LP holdings of the Top 15 xJewel Holders. As noted above, creating a tracker of wallets based on LP holdings would have to be entirely manual… and, I’d have to know the wallet addresses or would need extensive script writing experience that I do not have. Having spoken with several folks that do, it also appears this isn’t an easy analysis, so for now I won’t be able to do an LP chart of wallets based on LP positions.
