We know that the blockchain world can be rife with turbulence. Lately, the market performance for Celestia’s TIA token has turned heads and ignited passionate discourse. TIA’s debut was fraught with excitement and high hopes. Since then it has experienced a steep price decline, crashing 93% from its peak price....
In response, Celestia co-founder John Alder has made a counterintuitive but audacious suggestion to radically alter the network’s tokenomics. He proposes scrapping the current Proof of Stake (PoS) model and replacing it with a Proof of Governance system. This proposal comes just as the price of the TIA token has...
Those challenges have Lido Finance — a key player in the Ethereum staking landscape — charting a different course in decentralized governance. Through its democratizing protocol, the native cryptocurrency of the protocol, Lido Protocol, has heard a major proposal, LIP-28, that would reshape its power balance—perhaps profoundly—on this path. This...
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...

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...
Cryptocurrency staking is undergoing a historic sea change. New approaches like Distributed Validation Technology (DVT) and Rainbow Staking are paving the path forward.
