We have a heated discussion of topic including current development, future prospects and investment orientation.
During the event, as the CMO of the popular wallet AToken and when asked about the "bull market layout in the wallet field in 2021", Jolish said "AToken will focus on the deployment of DeFi and Polkadot in 2021, especially the Polkadot ecology layout.

(Q: Weber, CEO of XT A: Jolish, CMO of AToken)
Q：
Hello everyone, I am XT.COM CEO Weber. Thank you for being here. The AMA is titled ‘Parallel Universes: 2017? 2021?’, and we are happy discussing the market prospect and chances in 2021 with Jolish. I hope we can bring a lot for you guys through the AMA.
XT.COM, as currently the top 50 trading platform on CMC and the top 20 on Coingecko, was founded in 2018. XT has insisted on discovering value currencies for users since its establishment and providing users with value transaction targets. In 2017, we all experienced the myth of a bull market. At the beginning of January 2017, the total market value of cryptocurrencies was only $18.2 billion. Till the beginning of January 2018, the market value of cryptocurrencies exceeded $779.2 billion, an increase of more than 42 times. On January 10, 2021, the total market value of cryptocurrencies exceeded $1.1 trillion. Will the myth of 2017 emerge again in 2021?
Well, Jolish, would you like to introduce yourself and your project?
A：
Hi, I am Jolish, CMO of AToken. AToken Wallet is a decentralized digital wallet that provides ‘safe and reliable decentralization + link + finance’ services, asset management, digital asset payment, connection to DeFi ecosystem, and lightning network. AToken Wallet was established in 2017, with more than 3-year-old history.
According to our latest statistics, AToken now has more than 3.1 million users. We provide diversified services such as asset management, digital asset payment, DeFi, and Lightning Network. The wallet currently supports more than 20 main chains. Users are distributed in more than 150 countries or regions; mainstream encrypted digital assets under management exceed $2.5 billion. AToken DEX realizes rapid swap through smart contracts, and provides users with low-rate and high-stability services through multi-dimensional technical monitoring and calculation. On the AToken platform, you can experience a rich original financial interface, embedded and aggregated large-scale DeFi projects such as Aave, Uniswap, and 1inch.
Q：
In 2020, Bitcoin hit a record high, bringing prospect to investors. So could you share your opinions on the trend in 2021?
A：
BTC will continue to make a record in 2021. An obvious trend! As more capital enters this market, the market value of BTC will rise all the way and is expected to exceed $100,000. Polkadot is undoubtedly the most vital one in the main chain project. In just a few months, its market value has reached the third place (except USDT). Polkadot and Ethereum will be two hot spots in 2021. Is the DeFi-based Ethereum ecosystem more firm, or does the cross-chain Polkadot have more vitality? Let’s wait and see.
Q：
Compared with 2017, in the market of 2020, we obviously feel that in terms of currency prices, the performance of other public chain tokens except Bitcoin remains sluggish. Could you please talk about what will public chain technology and public chain tokens bring us in 2021?
A：
First of all, we need to explain that AToken is a wallet. We are not doing public chain projects, but in 2020 we will focus more on the public chain. In the first half of the year, we have expanded the Southeast Asian market and have access to TOMO and VEX, the largest public chains of Vietnam and Indonesia respectively. Then we moved the main battlefield back to China. We have the majority of overseas users, but the asset holdings are not very large. In the second half of 2020, we concentrate on the technologically leading and highly popular public chain projects in the market, and successively launched Polkadot (DOT), Filecoin (FIL), Kusama (KSM) and Whitecoin (XWC). Looking back to 2020, in addition to BTC, ETH has also done a good job by a larger ecosystem under the wave of DeFi.
In 2021, I feel that Polkadot will sustain the same direction. The cross-chain technological breakthroughs will have a great impetus for the development of blockchain. In addition, the protocol network based on ETH2.0 is also a big thing. DeFi will still be a hot topic, but the performance on Ethereum reflects the low efficiency and the inability to maximize revenue, so ETH2.0 will be a big breakthrough in terms of speed and handling fees. Let’s look at Filecoin: Storage is a rigid need, but a series of problems still need to be solved. In addition, there are more ecological projects that need to be influx like Polkadot.
Q:
Wallet is the infrastructure of the blockchain. What is the layout of AToken in the next possible bull market?
A:
DeFi and Polkadot will diverge in 2021. Therefore, AToken will aggregate more high-quality DeFi projects in product form. I believe that those who have experienced the 1inch and Aave functions in our wallet can feel the convenient and fast transactions and financial management. We will do the main layout of the Polkadot ecology. We will generate more cooperation with the main network and parachain, and launch the tools and products needed by users and project parties who hold Polkadot.
Q：
Compared with 2017, which segments do you think blockchain investment will focus on 2021?
A：
I have to say that 2017 and 2021 will be two different environments for blockchains. 2017 can be said to be the budding period of China's blockchain, when we were not concerned about the field, except for BTC and ETH. We are more attached to project betting. Ordinary retail investors did not seriously analyze the operation mode and development direction of the project itself. In 2021, the blockchain has undergone transformation and deeper development. The technology of the blockchain has been highlighted. It will be difficult for projects and teams without real strength to develop in the long term. Users will do analysis and research on project investment. Institutions hold more dimensions for project evaluation. I personally think that DeFi is still a direction of overall investment, and BTC and ETH must be invested. In addition, blockchain projects related to blockchain finance, data and credit investigations will gradually emerge.
The above are the main points brought by AToken, and I also anticipate to bringing you more next time.
