Let’s face it, the blockchain ecosystem is filled with hype. And yet every other day it seems there’s another “revolutionary” solution that’s going to do all the heavy lifting for us. When it comes to scaling, we need to cut through the noise and ask: what actually works? If you’ve...
Blockchain technology, while revolutionary, faces a significant hurdle: scalability. As more users and applications flock to the network, transaction speeds grind to a halt and fees shoot through the roof. This is where sidechains and Layer 2 solutions enter the picture, providing parallel yet distinct approaches to address these obstacles....
The world of Bitcoin scaling is an exciting place right now, filled with brilliant developers and researchers who are expanding the horizons of what’s possible. The newest genius development is GOAT BitVM2. Their innovative solution has the potential to drastically improve transaction speeds and efficiency overall on the Bitcoin network....
Dankrad Feist’s recent warning shot – Ethereum will be “almost completely irrelevant” within a decade without “bold scaling measures” – rings painfully true for many. Is a 100x gas limit increase, as suggested by EIP 7938, the right kind of bold? Or are we throwing the soul of Ethereum under...
Ethereum is at a very critical juncture, as it continues to struggle with the scaling issues that pose systemic risks to its long-term existence. Feist, an unapologetic activist of the Ethereum community, is an advocate for drastic action. His intention is to increase the network’s capacity and ensure it remains...
Ethereum, the world’s second-largest crypto and a global center of decentralized applications (dApps), is at an inflection point. It introduced the world to smart contracts and decentralized finance (DeFi). Its underlying architecture is woefully outdated and can no longer keep pace with the demands of a growing, fast-moving ecosystem. The...
Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, is currently navigating a complex landscape of declining market share and ambitious technological development. Ethereum remains the bedrock for all decentralized finance (DeFi). Despite its recent developments, Ethereum is at risk of losing its dominance as new competitors arise and as its scaling...
Shout out to the Ethereum Foundation for taking big steps in this direction! Their aim is to make Ethereum faster, cheaper, and easier for everyone to use. You know, we’ve been talking for a long time about the Merge and the transition to Proof-of-Stake. This change helps to set the...
Ethereum needs to scale. Badly. We all know it. The clunky UX and high gas fees make it frustrating for everybody. Instead, they are incentivizing users and developers to look for faster, cheaper options. Crying foul over these actions isn’t just a lament — it’s an attack on our existence....
Step aside Bored Apes and the yield farming mania. Blockchain’s actual revolution isn’t taking place in the metaverse, its taking place in the very boring world of APIs. And Polygon's API, in particular, is the unsung hero, the plumbing, if you will, that's quietly making blockchain actually usable.Scaling Is More...
