EVM+ offers a novel solution that facilitates the development of large-scale applications and accelerates the integration of cryptocurrencies with mainstream applications by seamlessly integrating EVM assets, protocols, and infrastructure. In Vitalik’s vision for Ethereum, the layer addressing non-scalability needs clearly plays a crucial role. Artela meets the demand for 'custom functionalities' in blockchain networks by adding 'native extensions' on top of the foundational layer.

This article draws on industrial development ideas to explore the potential bottlenecks in the current construction process of L1 and L2 ecosystems, as well as future directions.

EIP-3074 allows externally owned accounts (EOAs) to delegate their transaction capabilities to smart contracts, enhancing features like transaction sponsorship and batch processing. As a short-term fix, it aims to improve the user experience of EOAs to achieve a complete transition to smart accounts. This ensures that legacy users are not left behind, while also making sure they do not hinder AA's efforts.

This article discusses the key factors for successfully launching web3 protocol tokens, including establishing relationships with liquidity providers, devising TVL strategies, and implementing robust marketing strategies. It is recommended to collaborate with liquidity providers to create token liquidity and pre-negotiate TVL to enhance social acceptance. A long-term solution is to allow the protocol to operate for a sufficient period, but records can be established by incentivizing early TVL.

ERC7683 aims to optimize the user experience for solution users, lower the barriers to entry for a universal solution network, and the design goal of this standard is to enhance the solver user experience, making it easier for them to support multiple settlement networks, and to deterministically calculate their rewards.

With the development and maturation of zk virtual machines, supporting Turing-complete execution of arbitrary smart contracts has become possible. The potential of zkRollup will be truly unleashed, realizing its vision of breaking the blockchain trilemma.

Masa utilizes decentralized data and computational resources to innovate token incentive mechanisms, enhancing data privacy protection and economic returns, and creating a new landscape for the decentralized data market.

The Boba Network (BOBA), developed and maintained by Enya Labs, is a Layer 2 solution that supports multi-chain, rapid bridging, and hybrid computing.

Railgun is a privacy system built directly for blockchain, currently supporting Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, and Arbitrum. It primarily utilizes zero-knowledge proofs to anonymize transactions in smart contracts and DeFi applications. Railgun provides only on-chain smart contract logic, thus eliminating the need for L2 validators and vulnerable cross-chain bridges to achieve privacy. The article discusses the Railgun privacy system’s mechanisms, tokens, governance, rewards, and the V3 upgrade, offering comprehensive information to readers.

This article discusses various crimes in the cryptocurrency world, ranging from scams to money laundering, to ransomware and computer hijacking, helping users understand and avoid various scams.

Bitcoin and Ethereum have eliminated intermediaries in financial transactions but sacrificed privacy. With the development of zero-knowledge proof technology, on-chain privacy has become a core theme of Web 3. Aztec and Aleo are two promising networks. ZKP is suitable for private state changes, protecting user privacy, and can be used for use cases such as anonymous social media and enterprise invoices/payments. FHE methods can address the issue of sharing private states, applicable to scenarios like uncollateralized DeFi loans and on-chain KYC. MPC methods can protect the privacy of private keys and data, suitable for decentralized AI training and inference. These technologies can be combined to achieve a more comprehensive protection effect.

The Runes protocol, a new standard for creating and transferring interchangeable tokens on the Bitcoin blockchain, signifies the influx of more developers and users into the Bitcoin ecosystem, potentially bringing additional revenue to miners. However, like its predecessor, the Runes protocol has sparked some controversy, with some Bitcoin purists expressing concerns that token creation may negatively impact the essence of Bitcoin. This article will delve into the details of the Runes protocol, guiding readers through the discussion.

How to Crowdfund with Cryptocurrency: This emerging method of fundraising allows project creators to raise funds from supporters worldwide through digital currencies. Crowdfunding platforms leverage blockchain technology to provide fast, transparent, and decentralized funding channels.

Bitcoin Runes is an innovation on the Bitcoin blockchain that allows for the creation of fungible tokens and community-driven projects. In contrast to BRC-20 tokens, Bitcoin Runes aims to simplify token creation and reduce network congestion issues. Runes are created, minted, and transferred through runestones stored in Bitcoin transaction outputs. The Bitcoin Runes protocol is still in its early development stages, so significant changes may occur.

In this article, Primev presents data and insights from the emerging blob market, focusing on posting strategies of blob producers like Optimism and Base, and quantitatively analyzing for strategy efficiency metrics.
