Enter a new breed of creative platforms, using the same decentralized power of blockchain technology to beat back gatekeepers and democratize the funding...
Vitalik Buterin’s proposal to replace the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) with RISC-V has the crypto community buzzing. RISC-V, for the uninitiated, is an open-source instruction set architecture (ISA). Consider it the processor’s equivalent to Esperanto, a universal language that would allow Ethereum to be quicker and less expensive. Is that...
Okay, let's talk about Ethereum R1. Another Layer-2, yawn, right? But wait, this one’s different. It's 100% donation-funded. No presales, no VC sharks circling, just… donations. It’s almost like a white paper for a new blockchain on Kickstarter, right? We explain all of that, and more, after the jump… Is...

On May 1, 2025, the project kicked off with a deep dive thread on X. It distinguishes itself by prioritizing public funding, community control, and alignment with Ethereum...
