In this report, we will take a practical look at some of the most inefficient markets that exist today and draw parallels to crypto apps exploring solutions. We will unpack zkTLS and discuss why it is...

The report examines Arbitrum's proposed transaction ordering policy, Timeboost, which aims to enhance value capture while protecting users from negative aspects of miner extractable value (MEV) behavi...

The report discusses Paladin, a solution designed to combat predatory MEV while allowing validators, stakers to capture maximum proceeds from other MEV opportunities. We dive deeper into the Paladin b...

Software is eating the world. AI is eating software. AI is largely the combination of data, compute and talent. The entity or network which most effectively organizes these resources is set to own the...

As a follow up to last year's "Solana the Monolith", this report explores Solana's evolving role in the modular landscape, highlighting its transition from a highly integrated system to one where its...

Parallel execution has been touted as the holy grail of blockchain scalability and adoption, worth “billions of users." But the data says otherwise. We've explored the data around what percentage of t...

Was ETHCC as depressing as CT made it out to be, or were there things to be excited about? We'd argue the latter, with things like DEX design, TEEs, Preconfs, Based Rollups and Chain Abstraction all b...

Discover how Fuel, a first-of-its-kind rollup OS, addresses the challenges of scalability, state growth & inefficient virtual machine architectures. This report explores Fuel virtual machine’s sol...

Understand the core value proposition of ZetaChain as the Chain Abstraction narrative takes flight. In this report, we cover Zetachain's technological revamp, new application opportunities enabled by...

Dive into the Infrastructure Layer of the Decentralized AI (DeAI) crypto stack in part 2 of our DeAI series. Learn about Compute projects like Render, Gensyn, io.net and more, plus whether the "Airbnb...

Over $3.1 billion have been liquidated on lending protocols on Ethereum, but these liquidation mechanisms are not the most efficient. Liquidators or searchers face very tight profit margins because he...

The report discusses the longstanding user experience (UX) problems in on-chain applications within the cryptocurrency space, emphasizing the need for improved interfaces to make interactions more acc...

Mantle Network is redefining the L2 landscape with its innovative modular design. Central to Mantle's strategy is its goal to establish itself as the premier native yield chain, simplifying and democr...

Can decentralized AI (The Square) compete with the behemoth that is centralized AI (The Tower)? The following report is an exploration into the AI value-chain: a peek into the awesome resources being...

The report discusses dispute resolution mechanisms in optimistic rollups, focusing on Arbitrum's new protocol called Bounded Liquidity Delay (BoLD). It contrasts centralized and decentralized systems,...

Bitcoin's scripting system is inherently limited in its programmability. Consequently, bridges to Bitcoin rely on multisigs and federation control, introducing trust. This has constrained Bitcoin's ut...

The report focuses on the concept of interoperability within the Superchain ecosystem, emphasizing the need for seamless interaction between users, dApp builders, and chain builders. It begins by defi...

zk proofs boost application scalability but their generation can be costly and slow, and while zk rollups present a solution, they can lead to centralization and liveness issues. We explored the alter...

Supra is building the IntraLayer, a vertically integrated blockchain stack that includes a Layer 1, Oracles, Bridges, VRF, and a Virtual Machine. With emerging rollapps and appchains, liquidity is...

We explored how based rollups, preconfirmations, and shared sequencing can help to fix Ethereum's liquidity fragmentation...
