boss

Bitcoin has been the best performing major cryptocurrency by far, with most large altcoins severely underperforming it throughout the past few days and weeks.

boss

When you ask someone what superpower they’d most like to have, they usually come up with the ability to fly, or to read thoughts, or maybe to see through multiple layers of clothing. This year, all we wanted was the ability to hibernate. Imagine! Going to sleep sometime around the Australian wildfires… taking a peek outside in mid-March and thinking “Ooooh, no, not sure about this at all” and cuddling up in a warm, happy bed until the U.S. election was over. But think what you would have missed in…

Solana: Decentalized Economy Needs Censorship Resistance

boss

It was an exciting year for crypto. Decentralized finance (DeFi) took off like a rocket ship, the non-fungible token (NFT) community accelerated forward and great strides were made on blockchain interoperability. The number of projects expanded exponentially, teams rapidly iterated to finding product-market fit and a wave of new talent entered the space to tackle important problems hindering blockchains from breaking into the mainstream. There was one area, however, that did not receive much attention or improvements at all: scaling. We are not talking about scaling the number of transactions…
