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.

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.

This article introduces pSTAKE Finance's Bitcoin liquid staking solution. pSTAKE Finance is a multi-chain liquid staking protocol, recently focusing on Bitcoin yield and liquid staking. It collaborates with Babylon to transmit Bitcoin's security effects to other chains through a remote staking mechanism, achieving Bitcoin liquid staking. Users can stake Bitcoin and receive liquidity tokens (yBTC), retaining asset liquidity while earning yields. This innovative solution offers a win-win situation for Bitcoin holders and is poised to become a significant driver of the BTCfi wave. pSTAKE Finance has advantages in security, user experience, and product mechanism design but still faces challenges in expanding application scenarios and customer acquisition competition.

A crypto community brings together people who share a passion for cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology, offering a space for learning, discussion, and connection. These communities thrive on platforms like Reddit, Discord, WhatsApp, Twitter, and Medium, where they enable effective communication, provide access to expert knowledge, and create business opportunities. By joining a crypto community, you can gain valuable market insights, receive technical support, and enjoy exclusive benefits. However, it's important to be aware of potential risks, such as scams and misinformation. This article delves into why crypto communities matter, the advantages of joining one, the potential risks involved, and how to actively participate to make the most of the resources and opportunities available.
