Messari.io, in their Weekly Recap ending 10 March, 2022, showed that Smart Contract Platforms had a rough week for the most part with all but three of the main tokens they track ended in negative territory –
Smart Contract Platforms
For the third week in a row, Terra (LUNA) has led the smart contract platform sector by a wide margin. Although this week was no different, it seems as if its momentum might be slowing down for the moment after posting a more conservative (compared to previous weeks) return of 15.4%. The Cosmos-based IBC chain’s recent rally is a testament to how deeply tied its performance is to the issuance of new UST, which recently reached its peak issuance limits driven by a massive demand for decentralized stablecoins. Only two other smart contract platform assets finished the week in the green: NEAR Protocol (NEAR) and Tron (TRX) with 4.9% and 1.2%, respectively.
