1. Grayscale: Crypto x AI Project Overview How Crypto Can Achieve Decentralized AI
AI is one of the most promising emerging technologies of this century, with the potential to exponentially increase human productivity and drive medical breakthroughs. As important as AI may be today, its impact will only grow, with PwC estimating that it will grow into a $15 trillion industry by 2030. Click to read
2. Galaxy: The costs and benefits of Ethereum re-staking
The industry’s experiments in scaling blockchains through modularity have led to the creation of many new protocols and supporting middleware. However, each of these networks needs to build its own security moat, typically through a variation of Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus, a resource- and time-intensive process that has led to many isolated pools of security.
3.Vitalik: Why I oppose political voting based on whether to support encryption
Over the past few years, “cryptocurrency” has become an increasingly prominent topic in political policy, with various jurisdictions considering bills that would regulate various actors engaging in blockchain in various ways. This includes the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), the UK’s regulatory efforts on stablecoins, and the complex legislative and enforcement oversight attempts we’ve seen in the US from the SEC. Many of these bills seem reasonable to me, despite concerns that governments will try extreme measures, such as treating almost all currencies as securities or banning self-hosted wallets. In the wake of these concerns, there has been a growing trend in the crypto space to become more actively involved in politics, and to base their support for parties and candidates almost entirely on whether or not they are willing to be tolerant and friendly to “crypto.” Click to read
4. In-depth analysis of the evolution between RGB → RGB++ → RGB++Layer: What happened?
The RGB++ protocol has recently completed the RGB++ Layer upgrade, which can extend bridgeless cross-chain and smart contracts to all UTXO chains such as BCH, BSV, and Dogecoin, and support other Layer 1 asset protocols such as Runes and BRC20. The first DEX UTXOSwap of RGB++ Layer has also been launched on the mainnet at the same time. According to the plan, the subsequent ecosystem will continue to launch separate browsers, IBO and other platforms. Let's talk about RGB++ and CKB, the dark horse of this bull market, and explore the relationship between RGB++ and RGB, and why RGB++ should be upgraded to RGB++ Layer. Click to read
5.Bankless: Overview of Solana’s Liquidity Staking
Staking, the process of locking up capital in exchange for network security and thus earning a yield, is an essential component of DeFi and one of the most powerful sectors of the on-chain economy. Staking requirements vary by chain; Ethereum requires 32 ETH to be staked natively on an individual node, or users can choose a liquid staking provider like Lido or Rocket Pool. On Solana, anyone can stake natively through its delegated proof-of-stake system by delegating to a validator rather than running their own node. Click to read
