EigenLayer lets stakers re-use staked ETH to secure additional services on top of Ethereum. Here is how restaking works and what EIGEN does.
ETHFI gives the protocol's governance token a fee claim, but most yield comes from active AVS selection, and slashing cuts through LRT holders first.
ERC-4337 is an Ethereum standard that turns every wallet into a programmable smart contract, killing seed phrases and letting someone else pay your gas. Here's how it actually works.
Combined with buying out early sellers and ending monthly investor unlocks, the proposal compresses ENA's supply overhang and gives holders a direct claim on USDe revenue.
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.
Ethena's USDe dollar posts double-digit yield by going long spot ETH and short ETH perps, but the trade depends on funding rates staying positive and counterparty solvency holding.
Janus Henderson, the $370 billion global asset manager, has taken a position in ENA — the governance token of Ethena…
Killing the VC unlock schedule and routing 95% of net protocol revenue to ENA buybacks targets the two structural overhangs, but the buyback only fires once USDe regrows past $7.5 billion.
Under MiCA, EURC is an e-money token while USDC is asset-referenced. That split changes who can issue, where reserves live, and which EU exchanges can list each.
Both reuse staked ETH to secure new networks, but EigenLayer and Symbiotic slash differently, pick operators differently, and carry different operator-centralization risks.
A large ETH withdrawal into staking offers a rare signal of commitment, but rising Treasury yields and fresh protocol risk make yield quality the real test.
Ethena's USDe pays yield through ETH perp funding rates, not bank deposits. The mechanism is clever but the trade has real failure modes that can collapse headline APY.
Smart accounts shift crypto attack surfaces; they don't shrink them. Here is how ERC-4337 changes real risk for ETH users and developers.
Most euro and dollar stablecoins sold in the EU now run under a MiCA license or an older e-money license. Here is how the regimes differ in practice.
Intents let crypto users declare an outcome instead of signing a transaction. ERC-7683 standardizes that promise across chains like Ethereum, Uniswap, and Across.
Proto-danksharding, known as EIP-4844, introduced blob-carrying transactions to Ethereum. It cut rollup fees, but it is a stepping stone, not the final scaling fix.
Celestia sells data availability, not execution. Here is what it actually does, which rollups use it, and why TIA's 8% inflation has split the community.
Capital is rerouting from a tightening EU and a bleeding US ETF complex toward Asia, stablecoins, and a maturing institutional plumbing layer.
Compound is the lending protocol that helped invent DeFi yield. Deposit assets, earn interest set by an algorithm, or borrow against them. Here is how it works.
Native ETH staking offers a simpler yield base, while LSTs add liquidity and LRTs add restaking risk. Compare rewards, exits, slashing, and points.
