Messari 101: Making the Most of Our Library

For the OGs and the newcoiners alike, here’s a starter pack that should help orient you around all the tools available at Messari.

1) CaseBitcoin is the ultimate bitcoin beginners' resource, with macro stats and charts, a deep library of curated content, and regular updates that put bitcoin's evolution in context. Here’s the case for bitcoin in a nutshell, directly from the home page:

2) Messari has a LOT of information. I’d encourage you to invest 30 minutes in setting up your home dashboard and watchlists, exploring our community charts and screeners, and (if you’re an industry professional) trialing our Enterprise tools.

Without ever leaving the above-the-fold home dashboard you can:

  • Create unlimited watch lists: to track your portfolio, facilitate sector diligence, copy-trade, etc.
  • Search ranked asset lists by sector and time frame, and sort by gainers and losers
  • Stream and filter protocol-level events by type (network change, listing, governance update)
  • Sort research by category (and by analyst, asset, watchlist, etc. soon^tm)
  • Toggle the front-and-center chart by asset, timeframe, and chart type for quick checks
  • Discover anything in our data library, which includes thousands of asset profiles, research items, community screeners and charts, and other entities
  • Parse fundamentals at-a-glance, including things like diluted market cap and on-chain data
  • Spot high volume assets and assess real trade volume spikes over time
  • Flag the assets our analysts are studying in Messari lists

3) Crypto research 101. If you need a research report on the macro case for bitcoin, ethereum, stablecoins, or crypto more broadly, or you need to understand what’s going on beyond the Western hemisphere (most of our audience), you can download our analyst deep dives and share them with friends and colleagues. These are five of the best overviews I’d send to anyone in my network looking to learn more about the top trends in the space. Bitcoin. Ethereum. Stablecoins. Crypto in Asia. And our annual mega-trends report, the Crypto Theses for 2021.

A dedicated library to get people from zero to one.

A command center to give professionals a second screen for accessing the industry.

And the most robust asset research library in the industry.

All from one trusted source.

If you’d like to help us continue to build for the next ten years, DM me on twitter or drop an application. We’re doubling our engineering team, and building an army of analysts to tackle the challenge.
