Over the past month, three of the largest DeFi applications — Uniswap, Hyperliquid, and Ethena — have all officially announced the release of their own general purpose blockchains.

Why are people talking about Web3 gaming again? Well, something happened last week.

AI, RWA, and DeFi are all high-potential sectors in crypto that will very probably change our world – if they are not doing so already. They fundamentally change the rules we play by and will eventually unlock massive capital efficiency all around the glo
