The stall is the second outage this year for Sui and lands as the network tries to position itself as reliable high-throughput infrastructure against Solana and Ethereum.
Ethereum's co-founder says a new wave of protocol upgrades is taking shape, aimed squarely at the parts of the roadmap The Merge left unfinished: scaling, wallet UX, and consensus simplification.
Base and Arbitrum now hold more than 80% of L2 DeFi TVL, while smaller chains like Linea, Starknet and Mantle watch bridge deposits slide — operators say the winners will be chains tied to a real…
Tron moves more USDT than Ethereum, TON rides Telegram's 900M users, and ICP sells 'reverse gas' compute. We compare them on usage, not narratives.
Layer 2 networks make blockchains fast and cheap without sacrificing security. Here's how they work, why they exist, and the main types in plain language.
Bitcoin bleeds ETFs while Hyperliquid, Monad-Aave, and Lean Ethereum vacuum up attention. The crowd is bored of recycled narratives and hunting new rails.
Both reuse staked ETH to secure new networks, but EigenLayer and Symbiotic slash differently, pick operators differently, and carry different operator-centralization risks.
1inch routes your swap across many DEXes to find the best price. Here is how the aggregator works, what 1INCH does, and where the real risks live.
Modular chains split the four jobs of a blockchain into separate layers; monolithic chains do all four at once. Neither design has clearly won, and the trend in 2024–2026 is blurring the line.
Ethereum DeFi has the deepest liquidity and the most battle-tested contracts. Solana DeFi is faster and cheaper, but its TVL still leans on ETH bridges.
Both run their own appchains with on-chain order books, but Hyperliquid's custom L1 and dYdX's Cosmos chain differ sharply on fees, validator decentralization, and token utility.
Solana DeFi runs on a fast, low-cost chain with notable reliability trade-offs. Here is how the major protocols fit together and where the real risks hide.
Both VIRTUAL and TAO trade on the AI agent narrative, but their economic models point in opposite directions. Here is how each one actually works.
Scammers are using AI video and voice clones of crypto founders in live calls. Here is how the attack flow works and the one habit that stops it.
The Lightning Network lets you send Bitcoin instantly and cheaply by moving most payments off-chain. Here is how it works, what it solves, and its limits.
A protocol with $5B locked can earn less than one with $200M. Here's why TVL and revenue diverge, and what the gap actually tells you.
AI and crypto are colliding in ways both promising and overhyped. Here's a grounded look at how the two technologies are actually converging — and the noise.
Intents let crypto users declare an outcome instead of signing a transaction. ERC-7683 standardizes that promise across chains like Ethereum, Uniswap, and Across.
Capital is rerouting from a tightening EU and a bleeding US ETF complex toward Asia, stablecoins, and a maturing institutional plumbing layer.
