What are Verkle Trees, why Ethereum needs it, and how do Verkle Trees solve problems? The goal of this article is to answer these questions for readers without delving too deeply into cryptography and mathematics, helping those with some understanding of Ethereum quickly grasp the concept of Verkle Trees.

Persistence One ($XPRT) stands out as one of the pioneering application chains in the Cosmos ecosystem with its early adoption of IBC, CosmWasm, and the Liquidity Staking Module (LSM). It has crafted a sophisticated framework for liquidity staking and re-staking by focusing on POS systems and liquidity staking products, thereby enhancing the architecture of the Cosmos ecosystem. The ecosystem around Persistence boasts a high total value locked (TVL) and substantial IBC transaction volumes, with a majority of its tokens staked, showcasing the network’s robust security and engagement. Its flagship product, pSTAKE, streamlines the staking process within the Cosmos ecosystem, offering features like automatic re-investment of rewards and quick access to unstaked assets. Additionally, Persistence bolsters the Cosmos ecosystem’s security and decentralization through its re-staking module and alliance, creating an economic coalition for those who re-stake.

This article explores the issue of bank account freezing arising from cryptocurrency transactions, analyzing risks and responsibility allocation through a specific case study.

Today we’re excited to share Reth’s path towards 1 gigagas per second in L2 in 2024, and our longer-term roadmap for going beyond that.

The literature and practice for investment performance evaluation in traditional finance is extensive. However, the on-chain world has few proxies that could provide DAOs or on-chain investors with the necessary tools to make quantitative investment allocation decisions.

During the Spring Festival of 2024, an experimental protocol called ERC404 and its first project, Pandora, quickly became a sensation.

According to Ethena Labs, "Ethena is a synthetic dollar protocol on Ethereum which aims to provide the first censorship resistant, scalable, onchain form of money: USDe". Ethena is the protocol in which the stablecoin USDe lives.

Triangular arbitrage serves as a strategy in crypto exchange trading, leveraging variations in exchange rates within a single market or across multiple markets.

Zeus originated from Solana, but in the future, it will interconnect with numerous public chains, providing users with the choice between self-organization and centralized organization. In terms of specific mechanism implementation, Zeus also draws inspiration from the experimental mechanisms of BTC L2, such as using fraud proofs to verify transaction validity. With regard to solutions like EVM and Move VM, Zeus maintains an open-minded approach, ultimately aiming to facilitate communication across all chains, making interoperability a foundational feature.

Fonbnk’s tokenization of airtime minutes and integration with mobile money services present an innovative model with the potential to expand financial services to underbanked populations in African markets.

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.

1intro redefines the financial ecosystem on Solana through its smart platform, bringing efficiency, fairness, and security to Solana with the use of AI.

The article discusses the future development of blockchain technology beyond financial applications (DeFi). The author points out that although blockchain has made significant progress in financial use cases, the development of other types of applications has been relatively slow, mainly limited by the user experience and ecosystem fragmentation brought about by decentralization. However, with technological advancement, the application of blockchain in non-financial fields, such as online identity, gaming, social networks, etc., has become more feasible. The article emphasizes that the core value of blockchain lies in serving as a ledger for digital assets, but the challenge faced by the industry is how to expand and provide a simple user experience. Currently, platforms like Ethereum and Solana are exploring different expansion plans, while technologies like account abstraction and light client verification are improving the user experience. The author believes that these advancements will determine whether

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.
