Decentralized Finance (DeFi) is constantly changing. It’s committed to finding fresh opportunities that will link the traditional finance ecosystem with the transformative potential of blockchain technology. One noteworthy news in this realm is the collaboration between Lido and Maple Finance. Maple Finance is a platform for institutional crypto lending. Lido...
As it stands now, Lido absolutely controls the Ethereum staking space. Second, it now teeters on the edge of a potentially historic and certainly revolutionary change in its governance structure. The protocol is currently in the process of launching a new dual governance upgrade. This upgrade will rebalance decision-making power...
Okay, let's talk about power. In DeFi, the power is concentrated in the hands of the few, very few. The whales, the early adopters, and the LDO token hoarders are running the show. What if I told you that’s beginning to change? Lido's LIP-28, their governance upgrade proposal, is shaking...
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...
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.

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...
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...

Bit Digital is betting the farm. They’re promoting the sale of these shovels in order to purchase the lottery tickets. They're ditching Bitcoin mining, the digital equivalent of the California gold rush, for Ethereum staking, which, let's be honest, sounds a lot less rugged and a lot more…regulated. Whether this...
Bitcoin mining is the integral process that serves as the backbone of the Bitcoin network. It’s how new bitcoins are generated, and it’s how transactions are confirmed and added to the public blockchain. To those unfamiliar with the crypto space, the word “mining” may seem a bit scary. Learning the...
The buzz is building. Look out BTC, altcoin ETFs are on their way! The SEC seems to be getting a little more friendly towards it, especially with regards to Solana.

Let's be blunt. The Bitcoin gold rush? It’s increasingly shaping up to be a fool’s errand come 2025. This really is more than a small blip in profitability. That is a dramatic and potentially catastrophic turn in the risk-reward equation. The shiny allure of digital gold is masking a growing...
Tired of the 9-to-5 grind? Tired of the idea that your wealth is in the hands of people you can’t even influence? Let me tell you a secret: Bitcoin mining might just be your escape hatch. I know, I know, this sounds like something only tech sorcerers can comprehend, but...
The air is just crackling with excitement, right? Or maybe that’s just the Crypto Summer 2.0 that you can almost taste on the horizon. Forget the lukewarm spring we just had. This is about to be a full-blown heatwave, fueled by something even more potent than Bitcoin: Altcoins. And what's...
