The promise of DeFi has always been radical: a financial system owned by the people, for the people. To put it frankly. Most of the so-called “decentralized” projects out there are really just centralized startups with a little blockchain sprinkled around them. A revolution, or merely a new coat of...
That’s why Lido Finance, the largest liquid staking protocol on Ethereum, launched their first emergency DAO vote. This decision follows a recent security incident that led to the loss of $1.46 ETH worth in gas fees, requiring the rotation of a compromised oracle key. That hack compromised one of the...
Your DAO, your baby. You went all in, heart, soul, and likely a large portion of your life’s savings. But are you really protecting it? Instead, I’m witnessing too many DAOs, even sophisticated ones, making the same naïve crypto wallet errors. And these aren’t just severe inconveniences, they’re deadly existential...
Okay, let's be real. You've probably heard the buzz: Ethereum's on the rise. This isn't just another pump-and-dump story. We’re not just talking about a change, we’re talking about a large fundamental shift, a tectonic plate movement in the financial landscape. Put aside all the fancy charts and graphs for...
Okay, let's talk crypto. You've seen the headlines: Solana ETF launched, but...crickets? The hard underperformance in relation to Ethereum is raising a lot of eyebrows. Truthfully, it ought to enrage you. Is the SEC slightly, or perhaps less so, shading Solana, while golden-childing Ethereum? It sure feels that way.SEC's Stance:...
Robinhood’s taking a similar plunge into Ethereum—with their own Ethereum Layer-2 network. Institutional investors are pouring billions into ETH. Almost a third of all Ether is currently locked, creating a potential supply squeeze as we described here. So it’s all rosy futures and unicorns for the Boomer generation, yeah? Maybe....
We're told staking is the future. A future of trustless banking, enhanced privacy, and generating crypto yield. How do we know this utopian dream isn’t just a very well masked desert mirage twinkling in the distance? I think it's time we acknowledge the elephant in the digital room: staking, as...
Okay, let's be real. Almost everyone assumed Solana would moon after the ETF launch. I mean, a Solana ETF! It makes this clunking sound, like a rocket ship poised for lift-off. Thus far, the story the numbers are telling is the exact opposite. Ethereum is still king. Why? Here’s my...
REX Shares, an investment firm with just over $5 billion in assets under management (AUM) in 2024, has launched a Solana Staking ETF. This decision puts REX Shares in a very competitive field. Industry behemoths such as BlackRock are at the forefront with a staggering AUM of $11.5 trillion.The Solana...
Forget boring bank accounts! Staking crypto is on the verge of blowing up and you’ll want to be in place to win big when it does. Think of it like this: your crypto is throwing a party, and you get paid to attend. It’s no longer enough to simply HODL—the...
Ethereum’s staking mechanism is essential to the network’s security and operation, but it has serious challenges around access and capital threshold. To initially become a validator, you are required to stake 32 ETH. This often insurmountable requirement pushes away many, particularly those who live in hardship and marginalized communities.
