NEW WEBINAR SERIES - How to Value Ethereum

Attend live weekly for in-depth discussions on how to value ethereum, hosted by CoinDesk's Christine Kim

An Introduction to Ethereum Fundamentals   In this webinar series, we discuss the on-chain metrics fundamental to understanding and valuing ether, the native token of the Ethereum blockchain. As the world's first and most popular blockchain for decentralized applications (dapps), Ethereum has been the incubator for several industry-wide trends such as initial coin offerings (ICOs), non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and, more recently, decentralized finance (DeFi). Each episode in this four-part series will feature a presentation from a distinguished guest and live Q&A. SIGN UP Joanes Espanol CTO, Amberdata Episode 1, Nov. 11, 1:30 p.m. ET Accounts In our previous blockchain metrics webinar series, we learned how Bitcoin keeps record of all on-chain transactions through an accounting model known as the UTXO model. Ethereum operates on a different model called the account-based model. In this webinar, we look at Ethereum accounts, a concept similar to Bitcoin addresses but with their own novelties and complexities that are critical to understanding how Ethereum works. In the first webinar in the series, we'll be joined by Joanes Espanol, CTO of Amberdata. WATCH RECORDING Episode 2, Nov. 17, 1:30 p.m. ET Total Value Locked   Total value locked (TVL) has become the most common metric used to measure the growth of the decentralized finance (DeFi) industry on Ethereum. However, few understand the complexities behind accounting for the value moving into and out of DeFi. In this second episode of our webinar series on Ethereum fundamentals, we unpack the metric of TVL and explore its limitations. We'll be joined by Ilya Abugov, lead analyst at DappRadar. Ilya Abugov Lead Analyst, DappRadar ATTEND LIVE Fredrik Haga CEO, Dune Analytics Episode 3, Nov. 24, 1:30 p.m. ET  Gas Costs    Ethereum's novel fee structure has enabled the development of new metrics that provide insight into blockchain network activity. In this third episode of our webinar series on Ethereum fundamentals, we look at gas costs. While this metric is used most commonly to measure transaction fees on the network, its unit of account and calculation methodology are less commonly understood. We're joined by Fredrik Haga, CEO of Dune Analytics. ATTEND LIVE Episode 4, Dec. 1, 1:30 p.m. ET Transaction Volume Transaction volumes on Bitcoin primarily represent the movement of BTC from one address to another. On Ethereum, however, transaction volumes represent the movement of a much more diverse array of crypto assets. By tracking the on-chain volume of specific ERC-20 tokens, investors can gain unique insights about the value of these tokens. In this fourth episode of our webinar series on Ethereum fundamentals, we look at the on-chain transaction volume of Ethereum and different Ethereum-based DeFi applications. We're joined by Jesus Rodriguez, CEO of IntoTheBlock.
