A 950% surge. Let’s face it – in crypto, that’s at once amazing and terrifying. Watching it is a bit like watching a rocket launch, except you don’t know if it will get to orbit or blow up on the pad. Qubetics ($TICS) had an opening price of $0.40 and...
Who can forget the height of standing desk mania? Overnight, all of Silicon Valley got super into the idea of working on their feet. They soldiered through, with the voices of their upper backs complaining within an hour. It seemed to prioritize performative wellness over productivity. Being in a sweaty,...
XRPL venturing into full Web3 interoperability is a gutsy play. The introduction of the XRPL EVM sidechain is an exciting development. By working with Axelar and Squid, this once-isolated blockchain is removing its closed-off skin and opening itself up to the greater decentralized universe. Is this a jump into the...
Remember those awkward teenage years? Braces, bad haircuts, and just trying to figure out who you are? That was crypto. You know, wild, unpredictable, and frankly, a little embarrassing at times. Now? This time around, crypto is finally trading its baggy jeans and T-shirt for a slot at the prom...
Ethereum, an open-source software platform, introduced smart contracts and decentralised applications (dapps) to the world, operating without downtime, centralised control, or third-party interference.

26 million transactions. That's the headline coming out of Botanix Labs' testnet. A Bitcoin Layer 2 making that type of volume possible? Impressive, no doubt. Let’s apply the brakes on the bubbly. Have we really produced a solution in search of a problem to celebrate? Are we so blinded by...
As of March 2025, Ethereum has a strong hold on the decentralized finance (DeFi) and non-fungible token (NFT) markets. This uniquely favorable posture is further supplemented by unprecedented development of new technology and a recent explosion in market activity. The network absolutely crushes the DeFi competition, holding more than $45...
Okay, let's talk crypto. We’ve all been inundated with moonshot promises, but this time — maybe for the first time — it feels different. The market's maturing. So it’s not deflection and hype, I don’t think, but rather the focus being tied much more to utility, real-world application and, dare...
We've all heard the promises: Layer 2 (L2) solutions are here to save us from Ethereum's exorbitant gas fees and sluggish transaction speeds. Yet they are the key to unlocking mainstream adoption. They will enable Web3 and solve every single one of our scalability problems. Are they really?Let's be honest....
$1.6 million. That’s a lot of taxpayer money for a broken promise. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is the latest project to claim they’ve got Bitcoin all figured out. Or is it actually solving Bitcoin’s biggest problems? Or is it just creating another wrinkle in an already complicated ecosystem that fails to...
