Times have changed, as their newly released 2024 State of Crypto Report makes clear. The report covers crypto’s rise as a hot policy topic, the many recent tech improvements to blockchain networks, and the latest trends among crypto’s builders and users. The report also:

• digs into the emergence of key applications such as stablecoins — one of crypto’s “killer apps”;
• explores the intersection of crypto and other key tech trends like AI, social networks, and games;
• shares new data on swing states’ levels of crypto interest ahead of the U.S. election, and more.

This year, a16z is also introducing a new tool: the a16z crypto Builder Energy dashboard. For the first time ever, a16z is sharing proprietary data based on their unique view of the crypto landscape, including where the “builder energy” is. The dashboard incorporates thousands of data points — aggregated and anonymized — that are drawn from investment team research, our CSX startup accelerator program, and other industry-wide tracking. Through this tool, https://builderenergy.a16zcrypto.com/ anyone can explore what crypto builders are saying about their activity and interests — everything from which blockchains they’re building on, to what types of applications they’re building, as well as which technologies they’re building with, and where they’re based. A16z plans to update the data every year as part of our annual State of Crypto.
