This article aims to take stock of projects and technological directions that Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has historically endorsed, exploring their development, and current status, and attempting to summarize the reasons behind his endorsements and how they have influenced and shaped the Ethereum ecosystem as we see it today.

LayerZero is an interoperability protocol that uses innovative technology to instantly verify cross-chain transactions, connecting different blockchains and overcoming the challenges of liquidity fragmentation. It aims to create pathways and platforms for communication between independent blockchain networks using a novel architecture that includes ultra-light nodes, independent oracles, and relayers. This enables secure and efficient transmission of messages, shared assets, states, liquidity, and more between chains.

By bridging traditional finance and decentralized markets, IX Swap complements the efforts of large institutions while expanding access to public blockchain technology.

The large-scale adoption of any blockchain or B2C application depends on the price of its token, or rather, the industry not constantly facing the risk of imminent collapse. To a great extent, the biggest issue in the development of cryptocurrency is its growth. The alternating cycles of euphoria during market booms and despair during downturns, occurring approximately every four years, are a consequence of cryptocurrency's pursuit of mass adoption.

When people engage in trading, they often fall into a common mindset: they focus on how high the price of a token will go after buying it, ignoring the possibility that it might drop instead.

Astria is developing a decentralized shared sequencer network aimed at providing Rollups with fast finality, censorship resistance, composability, and decentralization. Astria's decentralized sequencer operates multiple sequencer nodes, allowing it to sequence Rollup transactions. In its operational model, users submit transactions to Rollups, which automatically enter their respective Rollup node memory pools. Combiners collect transactions and send them to sequencers, who aggregate the transactions into a shared block, finally sending pre-acknowledgement to users.

Founded in 2020, Jiritsu is an innovative solution aimed at addressing the issue of fragmented liquidity in the RWA (Real-World Asset) tokenization field. By utilizing ZK-MPC technology, Jiritsu automates and trustlessly verifies off-chain assets, enhancing the efficiency and transparency of RWA tokenization. The article provides a detailed explanation of how Jiritsu works, its applications, and its differences from traditional oracles. It highlights the potential for improving asset management efficiency and reducing costs. Finally, the article briefly covers the background of the Jiritsu team and their funding status.

As the on-chain TVL increases, a certain percentage of funds will flow into specific applications or destinations on that chain. For example, X% will go into money markets, and Y% will flow into the premier decentralized exchange. The examples in the article clearly show: TVL inflows = major memecoin performance. If one can predict an increase in TVL, one could take a position in the premier memecoin on that chain as a leveraged bet on their TVL prediction. The short-term approach requires a more active focus on the market and where capital is likely to flow based on incentive programs.
