For conventional airdrops, the main criteria usually include engagement level, duration, and fund amount. However, one airdrop clause has drawn criticism for its lack of transparency. The relationship between project teams and "airdrop hunters" is strategic. If the balance of power shifts, it endangers the other party's interests. When the scales tip toward the project team, they can act arbitrarily, reducing airdrop hunters to mere tools.

Blockchain technology continues to evolve, yet scalability issues among Layer 1 chains like Bitcoin and Ethereum persist, limiting their widespread adoption. Layer 2 solutions, a series of technologies designed to accelerate transactions and reduce costs without compromising the security and decentralization of leading L1 networks, ermerges. This article introduces the key players in Ethereum's thriving L2 solution ecosystem.

Bitcoin is like physical gold, serving as an asset and inflation hedge, with a currency value similar to the dollar, reshaping monetary basics. Supporters seek credit and yield mechanisms on its protocol. Brick Towers automates Lightning Network services, optimizing efficiency and capital to meet liquidity needs, minimizing risk, enhancing Bitcoin's utility, offering secure, seamless yield for users.

The Bitlayer ecosystem has grown to include over 100 decentralized applications, ranking second in TVL among Bitcoin chains, just behind the Merlin chain. This article will detail some of the key partner projects involved in this initiative, which form an important part of Bitlayer’s total TVL, user base, and activity.

Data is the key to blockchain technology and the foundation for developing decentralized applications (dApps). While much of the current discussion revolves around data availability: ensuring that every network participant has access to recent transaction data for verification. But there is another equally important aspect that is often overlooked: data accessibility. DFG Official introduces the basic logic and major players of this track in this report.

Solana faces both opportunities and challenges in its development. Recently, severe network congestion has led to a high transaction failure rate and increased fees. Consequently, some have suggested using Layer 2 and appchain technologies to address this issue. This article explores the feasibility of this strategy.

ELYSIA is a decentralized platform for tokenizing real estate assets, enabling trading, lending, and borrowing of tokenized property using blockchain.

UniLend (UFT) is a DeFi protocol enabling the lending and borrowing of any ERC20 token, combining spot trading and lending/borrowing functionalities.

Zircuit is a zk Rollup that is fully compatible with EVM. It is currently in the testnet stage. It can be generally understood as Ethereum L2 using zk technology. In essence, it is still to solve the performance and efficiency problems of Ethereum itself and help transactions to execute better and faster. Compared with the OP architecture, Zircuit can achieve the fast and consistent performance of zkEVM Rollup without the challenge period of withdrawal transactions.

Kava Lend is a decentralized platform on Kava, enabling users to lend, borrow, and earn interest on crypto assets with cross-chain functionality.

UXLINK is an innovative SocialFi platform that has become an industry benchmark by leveraging powerful group tools and a unique dual-market approach to attract users and developers. By tapping into Telegram’s traffic pool, employing the Link-to-Earn mechanism for user growth, and fostering collaborations with external developers and partners, UXLINK is paving the way for mass adoption. It is set to not only redefine the SocialFi sector but also drive industry-wide development and transformation, potentially becoming a future model for mass adoption.

Ethereum's need to scale has led to the development of Layer 2 solutions, with ZK/OP rollups emerging as key players, forming a short-term OP and long-term ZK consensus, highlighting ARB, OP, zkSync, and StarkNet as major contenders. Web3 users prioritize privacy only when it provides economic value. FHE's encryption cost further burdens the already low on-chain efficiency, and large-scale adoption is feasible only when significant benefits justify the cost. For institutional clients needing public blockchains but unwilling to disclose all information, FHE's ability to display and trade ciphertext is more suitable than ZKP.
