As total liquidity on the protocol has skyrocketed to $6.1 billion just two days after liquidity mining incentives were launched, Big Data Protocol ($BDP) has become the latest DeFi frenzy.
Since the protocol announced its fair launch on March 6, the on-chain data has taken off. As the charts demonstrate, the users, transactions, volume and BDP token price all went straight up from the beginning, and will probably keep rising.

What is this dark horse DeFi project about? Let’s have a closer look at it.
What Is Big Data Protocol?
Big Data Protocol is a DeFi protocol and data marketplace to source commercially valuable data from professional data providers, tokenize it, and make it liquid.
The protocol has a vast existing ecosystem of professional data providers by leveraging Amass Insights, the industry’s largest alternative data marketplace. Amass Insights connects 14,141 professional data providers with over 10,000 consumers of data, who are primarily asset managers.
The data tokenized by the Big Data Protocol is commercially valuable because it is the same data that hedge funds, family offices, and other institutional investors pay to gain market insights and guide their investment decisions.
Big Data Protocol mints data tokens that grant access to curated datasets. Using the simple DeFi mechanism of liquidity mining / yield farming, the Protocol makes the data tokens liquid on Uniswap.
Here is how the protocol works:
