Jackal Protocol

Jackal Protocol (JKL) presents a compelling fundamental case as a specialized 'hot storage' solution within the Cosmos ecosystem. The project scores highest in Team and Governance (9.2/10), driven by a fully doxxed team with relevant cybersecurity backgrounds and a mature on-chain governance structure. Active Development (8/10) is another pillar of strength, showing consistent execution of roadmap milestones and professional engineering hygiene, despite a reliance on the core Jackal Labs team. Tokenomics (7.5/10) are logically designed to link token demand directly to storage utility, though the current inflationary phase to bootstrap network capacity creates supply pressure. The project's main weakness lies in its Market and Use Case (6.5/10); while technically differentiated from archival competitors like Filecoin, it faces steep adoption hurdles in a market dominated by Web2 giants and larger Web3 peers. Community Support is high-quality but niche, lacking the viral marketing often seen in broader L1s. Security remains solid with no history of exploits. Overall, JKL is a fundamentally sound project executing well in a difficult sector.
