This article interprets the BRC-20 fork event and introduces the attitudes of different stakeholders.

This article discusses the issue of "low float, high FDV" in the cryptocurrency sector and explains its distinction from traditional finance (TradFi). In cryptocurrency, FDV is based on the potential future token supply, unlike TradFi, which focuses on the actual shares issued. The core problem lies in the time-scheduled token release mechanism, which fails to align with market demand, leading to price declines and conflicts among stakeholders.

In this article, we will examine the methodologies pursued by blockchain infrastructure in the past and present, and discuss the future direction that blockchain infrastructure should take. We will also explore which form of blockchain is most suitable for this division of labor structure.

- Schnorr signatures is a digital signature scheme created in the 1980s by Claus Peter Schnorr. - It was proposed as a replacement for the ECDSA scheme to foster scalability, security, and flexibility on the Bitcoin network. - Schnorr signatures enabled multi-signature transactions and fortifies the Bitcoin network against spam attacks

This article introduces the new token issuance model IGO.

This article analyzes why discounts should be given to these endorsements and whether we should eliminate the discount on witness data by means of a soft fork.

Built on the Cosmos SDK, Berachain is an L1 blockchain compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). It originates from the Bong Bears NFT series. Renowned for its unique community culture and strong brand power, the project has raised $420.69 million in seed funding. At the core of Berachain lies the Proof of Liquidity (PoL) mechanism, aimed at addressing some issues in Proof of Stake (PoS) networks, such as the balance between economic security and ecosystem liquidity, stake concentration, and coordination between dApps and underlying protocols. Berachain boasts a robust ecosystem with over 60 projects and has attracted significant attention from users and capital.

This article explores the similarities between Lido's dual governance proposals and a bicameral system, as well as what DAOs can learn from constitutional engineering.

This paper describes the importance of social consensus for chain decentralization.

This document classifies attack methods against PoS Ethereum, focusing on the risks of a 51% attack, where an attacker controls over 51% of the staking ratio. It proposes two defenses: Close Vote Detection, which detects potential attacks, and Emergent Dynamic Finalization, which delays finalization during heightened risk.

B^2 Network is a decentralized Data Availability (DA) and storage platform that addresses data compression and verification issues using an off-chain DA network. It aims to reduce dependence on the Bitcoin main network. The B^2 Hub functions as a DA layer and off-chain verification layer, similar to Celestia, to prevent data withholding and other malicious activities. In the future, B^2 Network plans to incorporate Bitcoin Layer2 to establish a universal DA layer and data storage layer within the Bitcoin ecosystem. The B^2 Hub node validates transaction batches, while storage nodes compete for block production rights to earn incentives. The workflow of B^2 Network involves the sequencer creating new blocks, the aggregator sending them to the Prover for ZK proof generation, and the B^2 Hub node verifying and transmitting the data hash to the Bitcoin chain. As a universal DA and verification layer, B^2 Hub has the potential to enhance other Bitcoin second-layer solutions.

The article introduces a crucial but often overlooked aspect of how Ethereum maintains its security and decentralization: its multi-client approach. Ethereum intentionally lacks a "reference client" that everyone runs by default. Instead, there is a collaboratively managed specification (currently written in human-readable but slow Python) and multiple teams implementing that specification (also referred to as "clients") which users actually run.

Moonbirds is a collection of 10,000 Ethereum-based NFTs, with each NFT featuring a pixelated owl character adorned with unique and random attributes. Like Bored Apes, Moonbirds owners possess intellectual property rights, allowing them to leverage their avatars to create various products, services, and merchandise. Additionally, they enjoy privileged access to a private community called PROOF Collective.

This article introduces the principles, challenges and future optimization plans of FHE.

This article explores the potential applications of blockchain technology in the realm of social networks, analyzing how the capital formation and speculative behavior intersect with the attention market. It discusses the trends of Web3 social networks possibly replacing traditional social media and examines the development trends of emerging platforms like Polymarket and PumpFun. The article presents the viewpoint that Web3 social networks could become the primary form of social interaction in the future.
