If you think about it, no rollup launched recently (Eclipse, Megaeth, Abstract) has planned to use Ethereum blobs because ETH simply can’t compete with what altDA offers to rollups.

AI is no longer just a technology—it is becoming the infrastructure of power. Yet, its development remains locked behind the walls of a few dominant corporations, whose control over massive, proprietary data centers gives them outsized influence over the trajectory of its development. This stronghold of centralized power raises fundamenta

In a sea of red across my portfolio, a single green ticker stands out: JUP. Following the second Jupuary airdrop, Jupiter announced a series of impressive updates at Catstanbul that deserve our attention.
