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.
Zero Network, an Ethereum Layer 2 scaling protocol, has announced it is winding down operations — the latest in a…
Both reuse staked ETH to secure new networks, but EigenLayer and Symbiotic slash differently, pick operators differently, and carry different operator-centralization risks.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Most holders keep all their crypto in one place, creating a single point of failure. A tiered wallet setup with spending, savings, and inheritance layers reduces risk without becoming unmanageable.
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.
Intents let crypto users declare an outcome instead of signing a transaction. ERC-7683 standardizes that promise across chains like Ethereum, Uniswap, and Across.
Modular blockchains split execution, settlement, consensus, and data availability into separate layers instead of cramming everything onto one chain like Ethereum or Solana.
Aptos shipped its mainnet, but daily activity is still a fraction of Solana's. Here is what actually lives on the chain, who uses it, and where the risks sit.
Three cross-chain stacks route billions in user funds, yet each leans on a very different security model. Here is how IBC, LayerZero, and Wormhole actually verify a message.
These three custody models protect your crypto in fundamentally different ways. Here's how they actually work, where each one breaks, and how to pick the right one for your situation.
Toncoin (TON) is the native asset of The Open Network, a blockchain born from Telegram and tightly woven into its messenger and mini-app ecosystem.
DeFiLlama tracks over $100B locked across thousands of protocols. Here are the 10 that consistently matter, what they do, and the risks most guides skip.
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.
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.
These three are often lumped together as 'interoperable L1s,' but they solve different problems. Here is what each actually does and where each one breaks.
