This article introduces how Stacks brings smart contracts to the Bitcoin blockchain and discusses the investment value of the STX token. Stacks achieves symbiosis with Bitcoin through the POX consensus mechanism, where miners earn STX rewards by producing blocks, and holders earn BTC rewards by participating in Stacking. Stacks also implements the sBTC mechanism, allowing smart contracts to read Bitcoin state and settle transactions on the Bitcoin chain. With a first-mover advantage, Stacks' ecosystem covers areas such as wallets, NFTs, DEX, DeFi, etc., and STX, as the native token, holds long-term investment value. With the development of the Bitcoin L2 track, the Stacks ecosystem is poised for significant growth, demonstrating enormous potential.

This article compares six major liquid restaking protocols, helping investors understand their differences and make informed choices based on their priorities.

Merlin Chain is a ZK Rollup Bitcoin second-layer network supported by multiple types of native Bitcoin assets and compatible with EVM, launched by the famous BRC-420 blue box and Bitmap team. BRC-420 and Bitmap demonstrate excellent data performance in the market. Bitmap is produced with BTC blocks, with 144 new blocks added every day, and the transaction volume is approximately 600 BTC.

LSD, short for Liquid Staking Derivatives, refers to derivative products of liquidity staking. Staking is based on Proof of Stake (POS) and Delegated Proof of Stake (DPOS) mechanisms, requiring users to prove ownership of a certain amount of digital currency. Users only need to lock a certain amount of cryptocurrency in a crypto wallet or exchange for a period of time to earn profits. Profits include block rewards generated by smart contracts. Additionally, if using smart contracts with lending functionality, investors acting as lenders earn interest income when others need to borrow a certain type of cryptocurrency.

Recursive inscriptions allow inscriptions to interact with each other, enabling new use cases. The generation of art, on-chain displays, and efficient storage has now become a reality. We can expect promising applications in art generation, chain games, metaverse, and more with the adoption of recursive inscriptions, as killer-level applications are believed to be brewing in the future.

This guide explores the selection of blockchain development tools that will help push the development of cross-chain applications closer to widespread adoption. Blockchain interoperability opens up new possibilities for cross-chain transactions, decentralized applications, and efficient value exchange, similar to how a unified browser enables easy navigation across different domains of the internet. As web3 continues to evolve and converge, we look forward to witnessing a seamless connection and interaction between blockchains and their associated technologies.

NEAR puts forward the vision of chain abstraction and is committed to enabling users to conveniently complete all transactions in a unified interface without worrying about wallets, network switching and complex transaction fees, and has become the network with the most users in Web3. Through Chain Abstraction, users can transact on all chains using a single account. The NEAR ecosystem welcomes builders from different fields of Web3 to work together to explore and create more chain abstraction solutions.

The development of the AI track follows a similar trajectory to that of the metaverse, both extending from Web2 to Web3. However, compared to the hype surrounding the metaverse, the development of the AI track relies more on OpenAI, with most projects still in the conceptual stage.

This article provides an in-depth introduction to DeMR Network, a decentralized mixed reality infrastructure network built on the Solana chain. It offers unique opportunities to participate in building MR spatial scenes, enjoy high-definition spatial interaction, and receive DMR token rewards.

This article provides a comprehensive overview of cryptographic hash functions, exploring their history, characteristics, applications in blockchain, and working principles. Cryptographic hash functions play a crucial role in ensuring the security and reliability of blockchain technology.

Match Finance, the pioneering project in the Lybra ecosystem, has captured considerable market interest. Recently, Match Finance conducted a successful public sale, selling 15% of its platform tokens at a valuation of $5 million. Within two weeks of its launch, Match Finance has surpassed $8 million in TVL, showcasing its rapid growth and strong market demand.

DN404 is another cryptocurrency mixing protocol on Ethereum. It prioritizes improving the liquidity and accessibility of NFTs, providing a more adaptable and efficient structure for the tokenization of assets, and will have good application prospects in multiple fields.

Real case of intent, also introduces how Solvers will compete, what types of Solvers might exist?

Modular money is a popular trend that can help solve blockchain scalability issues. It utilizes different technologies to achieve data availability, consensus, and settlement, enhancing the efficiency and scalability of cryptocurrencies. Some platforms offer shared security layers and rollup services, allowing users to stake Bitcoin permissionlessly and earn rewards. There are also many other well-known protocols building their own modular stacks, such as Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, and more. These platforms continue to evolve, offering users more options.

Starknet supports native-level AA account abstraction, allowing highly customizable transaction processing solutions, and implements multiple countermeasures to ensure security. These features create necessary conditions for Starknet to support functions like storage layering and garbage contract detection, despite some functionalities not yet implemented, providing an important foundation for the AA ecosystem.
