The success of a blockchain hinges on two pillars: servicing a large number of concurrent users and hosting applications that give them a compelling reason to use the chain. Aptos is making notable st...

In crypto, most AI agents today are little more than GPT-wrapped gimmicks—single-step automations parading as intelligence. The market caught on. Agent tokens are down 80% to 90% from peak, and for go...

Plasma isn’t just a response to technical limits. It’s the thesis that stablecoins have grown large enough to justify infrastructure designed for them alone – the same way AWS built dedicated services...

As applications scale, their needs often exceed what general-purpose blockchains can offer. Avalanche L1s – custom, sovereign chains – address this by letting teams control their infrastructure while...

Despite favourable market conditions, crypto’s end vision faces a critical challenge that’s rarely discussed: the alarmingly small number of live applications and their sluggish development pace. This...

Q1 was quite an eventful quarter for both ZKsync and the Elastic Network. Many things have unfolded in the broader ecosystem, from development milestones and major ZK Chain launches to growing dominan...

Crypto x AI has a lot of hype, but has yet to deliver anything of substance. USD.AI combines DePIN, AI, and stablecoins into a powerful new concept of InfraFi. It offers an alternative to a suboptimal...

We are witnessing the slow, structural inversion of crypto’s power dynamics. From infrastructure-heavy protocols with bloated valuations and abstracted use cases, to application-first ecosystems that...

The blockchain scaling debate has long pitted monolithic user experience against modular scalability, presenting a false choice. Aptos goes beyond that dichotomy. Its unique architecture decouples all...

Since our previous deep dive into Sui’s architecture, ecosystem, and toke economics, the network has delivered significant upgrades across its infrastructure and application stack. Our latest report c...

We had previously dove into the depths of Fuel's infrastructure stack and what makes it tick. But this cycle has taught us one thing - that infrastructure can only take you so far? Its the app layer t...

Following up on our deep dive, we're excited to present this memo on zkVerify, part of the Institutional Accelerator with TheTIE. This report outlines zkVerify’s improved operation flow for zero-knowl...

Story Protocol offers an exciting, forward-thinking vision for intellectual property management in an AI-driven, digital economy. Rather than extending outdated legacy systems, Story takes a bold leap...

Celestia has the tech and the thesis. What it doesn’t have is validation. It needs one breakout rollup, one app with traction and DA needs big enough to matter. That’s what turns the narrative into fe...

EVM chains have forever been optimizing for scalability but have always lagged behind alt VM chains like Solana, Sui, and Aptos when it comes to throughput and latency. But now we have a lineup of sev...

Squads has grown from a simple multisig solution into the foundation of Solana's treasury management infrastructure. With over $10B in secured assets across 300+ teams, Squads has become an essential...

The AI application bubble has only just begun. RL, distillation, inference time compute: the cat is out of the bag. Even if models were not scaling along four vectors (which they are) and the capabili...

If the appchain thesis holds and every major app launches its own L2, they’ll need more than just pure infra; they’ll need a full-stack solution. This is where Initia steps in—offering customization w...

This report explores Zenrock’s innovative approach to cross-chain communication through its distributed Multi-Party Computation (dMPC) technology and the transformative applications it enables, with a...

History suggests that markets often favor solutions that deliver tangible value, even when they involve calculated trade-offs. The success of Solana, despite initial centralization concerns, shows how...
