Although the hype around AI is not as strong as it was at the beginning of the year, Bittensor's strong rebound shows the market's confidence in leading projects in this sector. The addition of 12 new subnets in recent months has significantly driven AI development and may foster new innovative projects. While paying attention to the rebound in TAO prices, one should also consider the development and potential of its fundamentals.

Crypto Pulse focuses on the latest developments in the cryptocurrency industry, delivering up-to-date market analysis and insights.

In the cryptocurrency industry, to increase project visibility and attract initial users, project teams often give users a portion of project tokens for free, a practice known as "airdrop." Depending on how the airdrop is acquired, common types include task-based airdrops, content interaction airdrops, holder airdrops, and staking airdrops. Airdrop is a widely used marketing strategy in the cryptocurrency industry, where project teams distribute their tokens to users who meet certain conditions to increase awareness and promote the new token.

This article explores how Russia is overcoming economic blockades by legalizing cryptocurrency mining and promoting cross-border cryptocurrency payments in response to international sanctions.

Ethereum remains the most decentralized smart contract platform, with strong community consensus and effective governance. However, the growth of Layer 2 solutions has become overly dependent on venture capital, raising concerns about the future of decentralization.

As an EU member state, Malta has adopted a proactive regulatory approach in the fields of cryptocurrency and blockchain, becoming a global leader. Its tax system primarily relies on general tax law, treating income from cryptocurrency transactions as capital gains, subject to personal or corporate income tax, but exempt from VAT. Through legal frameworks such as the Virtual Financial Assets Act, Malta comprehensively regulates cryptocurrency activities, requiring service providers to register and adhere to strict standards. Additionally, Malta offers various tax incentives to encourage the development of blockchain and cryptocurrency enterprises. In the future, Malta is expected to continue refining its tax system, finding the best balance between economic development, financial security, and monetary sovereignty, maintaining its leading position in the field of crypto assets.

Saga is a Layer 1 network that enables developers to launch their own dedicated blockchains effortlessly—known as chainlets these blockchains provide scalable and customizable infrastructure for decentralized applications (dApps). By offering infinite horizontal scalability, Saga empowers developers to create chains without the constraints of shared backspace, ensuring optimal performance and security.

Particle Network is a modular L1 built on the Cosmos SDK, designed to serve as a coordination and settlement layer for cross-chain transactions within a high-performance EVM-compatible execution environment. Its ultimate goal is to unify all on-chain users at the account level, facilitating seamless cross-chain interactions through a single balance and account across L1, L2, or L3, and allowing anyone to easily pay gas fees with any token of their choice.

Cryptocurrencies, created using cryptographic technology and stored as data in virtual space, have revolutionized the financial industry in recent years. These decentralized digital assets operate independently of central banks, offering a new type of payment system based on blockchain technology. This paper rethinks the strategies for utilizing cryptocurrency financing in the modern financial environment, outlining the evolution and future direction of financing, as well as the core value of tokens. It introduces Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) and the most popular current financing launch method—airdrop mechanisms. Facilitating financing is one of the core functions of cryptocurrencies, which operate more efficiently and inclusively compared to traditional finance.

Galxe decided to build its own Layer 1 blockchain platform, Gravity, while Render chose to migrate its token from Ethereum’s RNDR to Solana, renaming it to RENDER. Despite these changes, the two have significant differences in their strategies and implementation methods. Galxe’s rebranding involves not only a technological breakthrough but also an enhancement of ecosystem control and user experience. In contrast, Render Network's rebranding combines token migration with a brand refresh, leveraging Solana's high performance and low latency to improve the efficiency of its rendering services and user experience.

Compared to centralized exchanges, many decentralized exchanges (DEXs) have complex user interfaces and cumbersome operation processes. For users without a technical background, using a DEX may present a higher barrier. Existing limitations include performance bottlenecks, cost and scalability issues, fragmented liquidity, and suboptimal user experience. From a technical perspective, the Vessel protocol can be seen as a state machine consisting of user states (accounts, orders, balances, etc.) and system states (timestamps, price oracles, etc.). Through the cooperation of three components—sorter, prover, and smart contracts—these tasks are carried out sequentially. The ZK system also supports cross-chain operations, making asset transfers and transactions between different blockchain networks more secure and efficient.

Beoble (BBL) is a Web3 social platform enhancing wallet-to-wallet communication and decentralized interactions, focusing on user privacy and security.

Soil bridges the crypto world with traditional finance, offering users stable returns by lending to real-world businesses, ensuring compliance.

Ariva presents a groundbreaking initiative to transform the travel and tourism industry through the innovative use of blockchain technology. In a world where travel complexities and financial transactions can often become burdensome, Ariva offers a smooth and decentralized solution. This platform facilitates easier and more cost-effective travel arrangements and enriches the experience for travelers worldwide by integrating digital currencies into everyday tourism activities.

The Fractal Bitcoin project improves transaction processing capacity and speed by using the BTC core code to recursively create an infinite scalability layer on the Bitcoin main chain. This approach maintains full compatibility with the existing Bitcoin ecosystem. The project introduces innovative mechanisms for native BTC scalability, including the OP_CAT function, which opens up new development opportunities within the Bitcoin ecosystem. This allows for a broader range of on-chain applications and smart contracts to be implemented directly on the Bitcoin main chain.
