It’s an exciting time for Ethereum staking! One ambitious proposal—aptly named EIP-7251—is inspiring robust debate about the right way to do it. This proposal goes a step further, proposing to raise the maximum effective balance for validators, with dramatic implications for the network’s decentralization. Our friends at KnowingCoin.com have a...
DeFi has long promised a crypto revolution, a financial system by the people, for the people, replacing traditional banking. So let’s just get real. It’s disappointing because too often it feels like the same old power structures trying to add a new, blockchain-flavored mask. But are we actually decentralizing, or...
Lido's proposal to give stETH holders veto power – dubbed LIP-28 – is getting a lot of buzz, and understandably so. On the surface, this seems like a positive move towards advocating more decentralization. The crypto holy grail. Not so fast. Let’s pump the brakes, step back and look at...
Ethereum. The world computer. The decentralized dream. We bought into it, didn't we? We pictured a world liberated from the grasps of centralized tyranny, where anyone could connect, create, and collaborate. Pectra Pectra is almost here. Or are we just blindly marching off a cliff toward a future where Ethereum...
Kuwait recently dealt a staggering blow to the crypto mining industry. The repercussions will be felt far outside the dunes of Al-Wafrah. A 55% reduction in energy use following police actions against people accused of illegal mining? That's not just a blip; it's a seismic shift signaling a much larger...
Lido's proposing a power shift, LIP-28. Providing stETH holders a larger say, a veto at that. Sounds good, right? Decentralization, user empowerment, all the buzzwords. Wait, before we pop the bubbly let’s discuss risk. I’m not mainstreaming the criticism, nor am I defending it. Things are rarely black and white.Good...
Last month, I witnessed something truly inspiring. A local hackathon, buzzing with coders, designers, and entrepreneurs – all focused on one thing: sustainable blockchain solutions.

To put this in context, Riot Platforms, one of these multibillion-dollar corporations, is currently constructing the world’s largest Bitcoin mine. This monumental undertaking is currently happening in Corsicana, Texas. The project is located within an existing industrial park and would help Navarro County’s economy diversify. It does this by creating...
We all love innovation, right? The allure of decentralized finance, innovative technology, and perhaps a pinch of that cryptocurrency gold rush excitement. What if that gold rush is doing it while creating a path of pollution, noise and economic burden behind it? Could the future of finance be emerging from...
Forget everything you think you know about DeFi. Pectra isn’t just another product leap. It’s a tectonic shift, a fiscal revolution hidden behind lines of code. We're not just talking about incremental improvements here. We're talking about a fundamental reshaping of how finance works, who it works for, and why...
We’re always being admonished to think ahead, and that applies to our digital resources as well. Crypto is no longer the fringe investment; it’s growing into an important asset class within many portfolios. Estate planning for crypto? Absolutely essential. Here’s the cold, hard truth nobody wants to talk about: the...
Estate planning. Yawn. Sounds like something your grandparents do, right? Wrong. If you’re heavily entrenched in the world of crypto, don’t overlook estate planning. Shutting your eyes like someone driving a Lambo on bald tires isn’t an answer – that’s just a case of potential widespread catastrophe. You consider it...
Estate planning is more than wills and real estate. It’s a moment to think about protecting your full legacy, from real-world assets to online life.

Okay, let's be real. For far too long, DeFi has seemed like a party that billions were barred from entering. Not because they didn’t have the tech savvy, but because they weren’t being met where their faith traditions were. It would be like trying to build a house and leaving...
With the crypto market preparing for what’s sure to be a rejuvenating bull run, protecting your digital assets is now more important than ever.

The numbers don't lie: a 131% year-over-year increase in attacks and $1.63...
It's a casino with better marketing. We've all seen the headlines: "Next Crypto to 100x Your Investment!" or some variation thereof. On the chopping block today are Moo Deng (MOODENG), Zebec Network (ZBCN), and Remittix (RTX). Astronomical returns aren’t realistic, rather they’re an easy promise to make. Or are we...
