TRON (TRX) is a public open-sourced blockchain network using a Delegated-Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) mechanism. It utilizes an election mechanism that determines who maintains the network. All TRX stakers vote onchain on which candidates they want to become Super Representatives. In each epoch, the top 27 most voted-for candidates become Super Representatives within the active set and take turns producing blocks. An election occurs every six hours.

Over the last few years, the Ethereum ecosystem has made tremendous strides in advancing the modular roadmap, a strategic plan aimed at enhancing scalability and efficiency through specialization and layering within the blockchain network. This has led to the development of an increasing number of chains, each specialized for distinct use cases. The cost of spinning up a new rollup has decreased significantly, blobs and data availability have made settling transactions even cheaper, and we now have L3s on top of L2s. It’s only a matter of time before we get to a world of 10,000 rollups and chains.

We started building Reth in 2022 to provide resilience to Ethereum L1, and solve execution layer scaling on Layer 2. 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. We invite the ecosystem to collaborate with us as we push the frontier of performance and rigorous benchmarking in crypto.

Excitement is brewing in the heart of Asia as Hong Kong regulators pave the way for a new era of innovation with the recent approval of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). This groundbreaking development underscores Hong Kong's commitment to becoming a regulated hub for Bitcoin. At the same time, the Bitcoin Conference is bringing the best and brightest Bitcoiners from around the world to Hong Kong for Bitcoin Asia.

Sia (SC) is a decentralized cloud storage network that combines a Proof-of-Work blockchain with a contract-based storage model.

0x is an integrated suite of decentralized finance (DeFi) infrastructure APIs that enables developers and teams to build financial products on crypto rails.

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.

We are excited to co-lead the $15M Series A of Centrifuge together with ParaFi Capital. Other investors include Circle, IOSG Ventures, Gnosis, Arrington Capital, The Spartan Group and Wintermute. In this article, we share why Centrifuge’s position in the tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs) market is unique and primed for further massive growth. This mainly boils down to 1) the solid and efficient infrastructure they have built that 2) enables differentiated service lines Centrifuge Prime and Fund Tokenization Platform and 3) the stellar team that has proven to execute at an incredibly high level for many years, which allowed them to build a strong reputation and network across decentralized finance and traditional players.

After completing a total of tens of millions of dollars in financing, the modular computing layer Lumoz continues to make strides in the Layer 2 (L2) space. This week, Lumoz announced that its Modular Compute Layer will support the Op Stack + ZK Fraud Proof Layer 2 architecture, initiating a new paradigm in L2 architecture.
