In light of the liquidity fragmentation issue in the current Rollup ecosystem, Based Rollups are widely regarded as an effective potential solution. Preconfirmation plays a crucial role in enhancing the user experience of Based Rollups.

Based rollups also means that MEV naturally flows to Ethereum, strengthening Ethereum’s economic security. There are some limitations to the revenue models of based rollups, as can be understood here. In this blog post, we'll summarize the current economic landscape of rollups, and explore the based rollups economy.

Everclear introduces the concept of 'clearing' from traditional finance to Web3. Their research shows that 80% of daily cross-chain transaction volume can be netted without moving assets. This demonstrates clearing's potential in Web3.

Although L2s have successfully scaled Ethereum to some extent, they still face limitations. Monad aims to build a new realm that combines Ethereum's rich culture with the scalability of Solana and Sui, creating an Ethereum-compatible system that meets the efficiency demands of a new era.

In the decentralized world, privacy technology is becoming essential. Zama is at the forefront with its advanced Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) technology, which redefines data privacy protection. Using its "TFHE-rs" FHE library, Zama enables encrypted data processing without decryption, ensuring privacy and security. Additionally, Zama’s fhEVM applies this technology to smart contracts, enabling private smart contracts that keep data confidential even as it circulates on the blockchain. Supported by the Concrete library, which simulates and optimizes FHE operations, Zama offers a complete privacy computing solution, advancing blockchain privacy technology.

Throughout this analysis, we dive deeper into Berachain, contextualizing POL within the broader evolution of consensus mechanisms. Then, we examine its practical implications for projects building within the Berachain ecosystem, using some of the most prominent ones as use cases.

If Ethereum’s future scaling solution is to convert all Rollups into ZK Rollups, OP Succinct aims to deploy Type-1 zkEVM (fully Ethereum-equivalent) within the OP Stack, utilizing Rust and SP1.

There are two practical challenges when constructing a proof system based on binary fields: First, the field size used for trace representation in STARKs should be larger than the degree of the polynomial. Second, the field size used for the Merkle tree commitment in STARKs must be greater than the size after Reed-Solomon encoding extension. Binius is an innovative solution to address these two problems by representing the same data in two different ways.

This guide explores how blockchains have evolved into a cross-chain world, the different types of blockchain networks, and the ongoing challenges and risks associated with blockchain interoperability.

Homomorphic encryption is a cryptographic technique that allows specific computations to be performed directly on encrypted data without prior decryption. Only upon final decryption is the correct plaintext result revealed. This technology's uniqueness lies in its dual ability to protect data privacy and enable "active" encrypted data—allowing continued data processing under a secure umbrella. As a result, homomorphic encryption emerges as an ideal technology that seamlessly integrates privacy protection with data processing, finding widespread application across an increasing number of fields.

Fiber Network is a decentralized payment network built on Nervos CKB, supporting fast, low-cost off-chain transactions for multiple currencies, with special interoperability with the Bitcoin Lightning Network. Through technologies such as payment channels and HTLC/PTLC, Fiber provides efficient cross-chain payments and asset transfers.

This article explains what fully diluted market cap means in crypto and discusses fully diluted valuation calculation steps, FDV’s importance, and the risks of relying on FDV in crypto.

BlackRock has expanded its Web3 presence by launching the BUIDL tokenized fund in partnership with Securitize. This move highlights both BlackRock’s influence in Web3 and traditional finance’s increasing recognition of blockchain. Learn how tokenized funds aim to improve fund efficiency, leverage smart contracts for broader applications, and represent how traditional institutions are entering public blockchain spaces.

In-depth analysis of how multi-virtual machine (Multi-VM) architecture becomes the best solution to solve the scalability and performance bottlenecks of blockchain, and explore how Mango Network uses OPStack technology and MoveVM to build an efficient blockchain network that supports cross-chain communication. It also analyzes the technical advantages and market positioning of Mango Network, providing comprehensive analysis and insights for readers interested in blockchain technology, DeFi and cross-chain interoperability.

Puffer uses Restaking to build a more efficient Based Rollup, with decentralized sequencers and better cross-chain liquidity interaction. Based Rollup and mainstream Rollups will shape different ecosystems within Ethereum.
