Visa Announces Ambitious Crypto Product Roadmap Tapping on Ethereum Network

Visa is reportedly hiring senior software engineers to help build scalable Web 3.0 products and drive mainstream adoption of public blockchain networks and stablecoin payments. The company is searching for engineers with a good understanding of public and permissioned distributed ledger technology (DLT) networks, security protocols, and private key custody, as well as Layer 1 and Layer 2 solutions and experience writing smart contracts using the Solidity programming language. Visa is likely to tap the Polygon network to scale its Ethereum smart contract capabilities in Web 3.0 development. The company has already made investments in the NFT and stablecoins market and is working with central banks to help scale the adoption of CBDCs. Visa's CBDC Payments Module is designed to provide an on-ramp for CBDC to existing payment networks.

  • The Future of Ethereum: Use Cases (Part 1)

    In our 4-part series named “The Value of Ether”, we have discussed in detail the framework in which we think it is most appropriate to link value accrual to ETH token holders with the underlying mechanics that operate the Ethereum blockchain. More specifically, we have laid out a case on how increased usage of the network has an impact on supply dynamics and can therefore have a knock-on effect on the value of the Ether token.

  • Introducing eoracle - the Ethereum Oracle

    Ethereum and Bitcoin faced challenges that were overcome with a very cautious approach, resulting in an extraordinary case study for global human coordination. Adding real-world data through oracles as another layer on top of it is a very promising next step. However, so far, we have taken this step forward without the same caution that is fundamental to the journey toward a decentralized ecosystem. Perhaps we were too close to the problem, focusing only on the outcome - making data accessible - and not being mindful enough about the process allowing it.

    The current landscape of emerging technologies like blockchain, web3, ai-related solutions and others is paving the way for what I see as the rise of composable culture (or modular culture as one of my peers said1). While I have been hinting the concept in my writings before, an explanation of why an there should be an umbrella term, what are it’s characteristics and advantages is needed.

  • How to purchase Ethereum GAS in advance

    This topic introduces a method for purchasing gas on Ethereum. Technically it is a fully on-chain Ethereum gas futures market. The volatility of gas prices, primarily driven by network demand fluctuations, significantly obstructs user experience on Ethereum due to unpredictable costs. This solution aims to mitigate that issue.

    In this collaborative research endeavor, the Global Crypto Research (GCR) and Friends With Benefits (FWB) unite to present a comprehensive examination of Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) tokens and their contemporary landscape. Despite the burgeoning interest and investment in DAO tokens, their utility and application remain constrained by a spectrum of technical, regulatory, and operational challenges. Our primary objectives are to explore potential use cases for DAO tokens and propose a roadmap for their future evolution. Through this collaborative inquiry, we seek to foster a deeper understanding of DAO tokens, catalyzing innovation and facilitating more robust, versatile, and equitable applications in the digital economy.
