Aztec, a layer-2 rollup with an unusual and promising approach sharply oriented towards privacy, has just released its testnet. This event is a big step toward a future where decentralized applications (dApps) on Ethereum can provide rich, programmable privacy. The launch represents the culmination of over eight years of dedicated...
Base, the layer-2 network launched by Coinbase in August 2022, is now at “stage 1” rollup status. This milestone is a very promising step toward greater decentralization. This shift further eliminates the centralized nature of the network, getting it one step nearer to complete decentralization.The “stage 1” designation refers to...
Okay, fam, let's talk about Base. Again. You know, Coinbase’s cute and cuddly layer-2 that everyone and their grandma just fell in love with? Remember when it launched? The gas wars? The hype? Now they've hit "Stage 1." Cue the confetti, right? Suddenly everyone’s yelling about decentralization, security councils and...
Okay, let's be real. You’ve probably seen the headlines: "NFTs are OVER!" "Brands are BAILING!" "The bubble BURST!" Everyone's doing the "told you so" dance. And sure, when you look at it on the surface it does look bad. Nike, Starbucks, hell even GameStop – they’re all high-tailing it back...

Let's be honest. The crypto space has proven, time and time again, to be a minefield of harebrained schemes, vaporware and busted boondoggles. Every other week, a new coin pops up claiming to revolutionize the world, only to vanish into the digital ether. You’ve likely been burned, or know someone...
Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, is currently navigating a complex landscape of declining market share and ambitious technological development.

We all enjoy it, or perhaps enjoy hating it. The speed demon of public blockchains, at least until that’s not the case. Remember the TRUMP meme coin launch? Selectivity of bad things happening. Network slammed shut as if you bleached your drain after turkey day. High fees, failed transactions, the...
