Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency network, is currently experiencing a scalability crisis. Unfortunately, this has meant that users have had to deal with exorbitant transaction fees and delayed processing times. Layer 2 solutions like optimistic rollups and special zkEVMs have been developed as a way to relieve these burdens with quicker,...
Another meme coin, another presale. I know, I know, you’re perspective-shifting right now and none of this sounds new to you. But hear me out. Little Pepe (LILPEPE) is not your normal Shiba-Doge-Elon derivative looking to gamify and enrich themselves with your hard-earned crypto. They raised $2.5M in presale? That's...
I know what you’re thinking, yet another Bitcoin Layer 2 solution that’s gonna deliver everything and more. Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER), with a $1.7m presale raise, is the newest challenger. It’s not a question of whether it’s cool—the question is, can it actually live up to all that hype. And even...
Bitcoin Hyper is bringing a Layer-2 solution that’s all about making the Bitcoin user experience much better. The project has recently finished its presale, raising $1.7 million to bring the project to development and launch. Focused on improving some of Bitcoin’s existing restrictions, Bitcoin Hyper brings high-speed capabilities using its...
The blockchain space is always changing, as new solutions are developed to address long-standing issues such as scalability. In particular, two projects—INK and SOLX—are making waves as potential game-changers in the Layer-2 space. Though both have the same goal of increasing what their respective blockchains can do, they’re tackling that...
$1.6 million. That's a serious chunk of change. Bitcoin Hyper’s presale success may be a siren call of investor interest, but in the wild west of crypto, money may talk, but code walks. Are we witnessing the dawn of a genuine Bitcoin scaling solution, or just another well-marketed mirage shimmering...
Bitcoin flirting with $108,000? That's fantastic. But let's be real, that price tag highlights a glaring problem: Bitcoin, in its current form, is fundamentally broken as a transactional currency. It’s like having a Ferrari but only being able to drive it on Sundays because the toll costs are through the...
Even Bitcoin, the king of crypto, has a scaling problem. Just like real-world transactions, digital transactions can be slow and costly, particularly when the network gets congested. That's where Layer-2 solutions come in. Consider them as auxiliary lanes that relieve congestion on an interstate highway. One such project trying to...
10,000 TPS. It's a headline grabber, no doubt. Wow, Sonic Token (previously Fantom) is making some headway on that front with this stake. Now don’t get me wrong, we all know that in the wild west of DeFi, big promises are just as frequent as rug pulls. Is this really...
