What problem does it solve? Founders and builders often start a crypto product without knowing who already occupies the space, which projects failed before, or whether the market is saturated. This Skill systematically maps the competitive landscape so you can find an open angle before committing to an idea. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Ecosystem Catalog Search: Queries solana-new catalogs of repos, skills, and MCPs to detect existing tools in your target space, with DefiLlama and GitHub fallbacks when catalogs are missing. - Competitive Matrix: Captures each competitor's status, chain, traction, strengths, weaknesses, and threat level, then plots them on a scope-vs-user matrix with a crowdedness rating from empty to saturated. - Moat Analysis: Assesses defensibility across six moat categories (network effects, switching costs, data advantages, technical complexity, distribution, brand) and recommends a differentiation angle. - Use Case: Before building a Solana agent payments product, run this Skill to discover direct competitors, dead projects and why they failed, non-crypto substitutes, and receive an HTML landscape artifact plus a structured handoff to the next idea-phase skill. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to map the competitive landscape for your crypto product idea, for example by saying who are my competitors for agent payments on Solana.
