Modular Blockchains

While Web3 is often described as “read, write, own”, we believe a better notion for the third iteration of the internet is “read, write, verify” given that the key benefit of public blockchains is guaranteed computation and easy verification that these guarantees were honored.

Particle Network is a development platform for Web3, aimed at enhancing developer efficiency and accelerating the mass adoption of Web3. Its core product is an MPC-TSS-based login and wallet middleware that eliminates the need for end users to remember mnemonic phrases and pay gas fees, significantly lowering the barrier to Web3 adoption. This article will explore the Particle Network ecosystem, compare similar products, and analyze the network's prospects and future.

The Lambda project has witnessed several key milestones since its inception in 2018. Each step, from the project's launch to the white paper release, successful fundraising, and open sourcing of core code, has marked the continuous advancement of Lambda technology. With the launch of the mainnet, Lambda has gradually become an important member of the blockchain ecosystem.

Blockchain as a Service (BaaS) is a cloud service that allows organizations to build and run blockchain applications and smart contracts without the need to establish their own blockchain infrastructure. BaaS providers offer flexibility and accessibility of blockchain technology, aiming to democratize blockchain technology so that companies can develop blockchain applications at a reasonable cost.

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.

In the blockchain field, a series of competitive decentralized data availability (DA) projects have emerged, including Celestia, EigenLayer, Avail DA, and NEAR DA. These projects aim to enhance blockchain scalability, data availability, and performance by employing different technologies and approaches. This article compares and analyzes these DA projects, discussing their technical characteristics and competitive advantages in the market.

Innovation on layer-1 platforms is heating up, with Bitcoin and Ethereum evolving into more versatile platforms. Ethereum is moving towards a modular architecture, and new first-layer blockchains like Aptos are emerging. This article will explore the diversified prospects of first-layer blockchain networks and understand their impact on the broader crypto ecosystem.

This article discusses the execution layer and the settlement layer, with Ethereum continuing to support rollups. However, new execution layers and more rollup service providers may bring higher throughput, security, and innovation. Interoperability is also essential, with some protocols in development aiming to ultimately achieve a world with over 100,000 chains, driving the blockchain industry towards genuine adoption.

The article details AltLayer, a decentralized resilient Rollup-as-a-Service (RaaS) protocol designed to provide a scalable second-layer solution to alleviate on-chain congestion and costly transactions cost. AltLayer utilizes the modular concept and restaking mechanism to enhance security, decentralization and processing speed. It provides Rollup services, allowing users to quickly create customized Rollups, supporting multi-chain and multi-virtual machine functions. AltLayer's core technologies include Restaked Rollup and RaaS, the latter of which simplifies the deployment of Rollup through a code-free interface. In addition, AltLayer issued the native token ALT, which is used to pay for fees, governance and consensus mechanisms within the ecosystem. The article also discusses AltLayer's team background, financing situation, and opportunities and challenges it faces.

EigenDA is a RaaS market that provides acceleration services, reducing the barriers to Rollup deployment. It is a data availability network designed to enhance the throughput and reduce the cost of Rollup protocols. This article will uncover the process of deploying Rollup using EigenDA.

Why are modular blockchains increasingly being brought to the forefront? What exactly does modular blockchain mean? This article will explore the new trend in blockchain—modular narratives. It will look at the challenges faced by Ethereum, compare modular blockchains to monolithic blockchains, and anticipate the impact of modular blockchains on the overall blockchain architecture and its use.

The monolithic blockchain is the first way to build a blockchain, but scalability issues have led to the emergence of modular blockchains. This article compares modular blockchains with monolithic blockchains, helping you understand the advantages and disadvantages of both types of blockchains.
