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.

- 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

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.

Nasdaq has formally submitted a proposal to the government for tokenized stock trading, with plans to launch an on-chain settlement mechanism under SEC oversight. This initiative seeks to establish equal rights and value equivalence between traditional stocks and blockchain assets, which could pave the way for fundamental changes in capital market infrastructure—enabling round-the-clock operations, enhanced efficiency, and programmable features.

This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the technical details of the fee switch mechanism, why past proposals failed, and the shifting stances of key stakeholders such as a16z. It further explores how the approval of the proposal could affect the Uniswap protocol and liquidity providers (LPs). It also considers the broader market dynamics.

This article provides readers with a clear understanding of the ongoing battle between bullish and bearish forces on Wall Street, along with the subtle transformation of U.S. monetary authority.

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.
