The brokerage-backed L2 lands with Alchemy, Chainlink, and LayerZero already wired in, framing the launch as a TradFi bridge rather than a generic EVM clone.
Polymarket has tapped Chainalysis to layer Wall Street-calibre compliance and monitoring infrastructure onto its…
The L2 launched barely a week ago and is already routing more on-chain trading than two of Ethereum's most entrenched scaling layers.
Chain abstraction promises to hide the multi-chain mess behind a single click, but today's versions depend on new trust assumptions around solvers and relayers that you should understand first.
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.
Chainlink is the decentralized oracle network that brings off-chain data into smart contracts. Here is what it does, what LINK is for, and what to weigh.
Hyperliquid runs a fully on-chain central limit orderbook for perps. Here's how matching, funding, and liquidations actually work under the hood.
Chainlink powers most DeFi price feeds, but most LINK holders never earn fees. Here is the staking v0.9 design, what CCIP really does, and who actually competes with it.
Nansen and Arkham label wallets using clustering heuristics, not identity verification. Learn how those labels are made and where they quietly mislead traders.
Chain abstraction promises one signature across any blockchain. ERC-7683 is the emerging standard that makes it work. Here is how intents, fillers, and cross-chain settlement actually fit together.
A blockchain is a public ledger that everyone shares and no single party can rewrite. Here is how the chain of blocks, nodes and consensus actually fit together.
Grid trading automates buy-low / sell-high orders across a price range. Here is how it works, when it shines, and when it bleeds.
NEAR pairs sharded execution with chain signatures and an intents-based DEX. Here is what actually works, what is still vapor, and why DeFi activity stays thin.
A $53B payments deal, a BlackRock run at onchain wallets, and Japan’s tax-slashing crypto law reframed the tape, even as BTC drifted sideways and hackers hit RWA rails.
A $15M Bitcoin security consortium forms the same week a cross-chain bridge is drained twice. The ledger tells a story of two very different on-chain maturities.
Hooks let pools run custom logic, but most strategies aren't new. Dynamic fees, on-chain limit orders, and MEV protection show real value; social experiments often don't.
Curve StableSwap pools exchange similar-priced assets, while LLAMMA manages crvUSD collateral through soft liquidation. Learn the design and failure modes.
Every blockchain transaction is public, creating a goldmine of data. Here's what on-chain data is, what it can reveal, and the limits of reading it.
Uniswap v4 swaps hundreds of pools for one singleton contract and lets devs attach code "hooks" to every pool action. More flexibility, but a bigger smart-contract attack surface for LPs.
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.
