Before participating in DeFi, do you really understand the risks?

In the Web3 world, DeFi enables users to participate in token swaps, lending and borrowing, liquidity provision, and yield strategies through smart contracts.

It reduces reliance on some traditional intermediaries and gives users more direct control over their assets.

But many people focus only on yield rates, reward tokens, and capital efficiency, while overlooking a key question:

When you no longer rely on traditional intermediaries, who bears the risks involved in the protocol, funds, and operations?

Ever wondered why FPPS and PPS+ payouts can look different, even when miners contribute similar hashrate?
The difference is mainly in how transaction fees are handled.
🔹 FPPS: Includes estimated transaction fees in miners' share payouts.
🔹 PPS+: Pays the block subsidy through PPS, while transaction fees are distributed separately through PPLNS.
So, FPPS offers more predictable fee payments, while PPS+ exposes the fee portion to pool luck.
Understanding these small differences can help miners make smarter decisions about their payout model.

#OpenAI第三季度营收升至100亿美元 $10 Billion in One Quarter, $50 Billion Run Rate: OpenAI’s AI Business Is Scaling Faster, but Profitability Is Still the Real Test
OpenAI has reached a milestone that would have seemed extraordinary just a few years ago: approximately $10 billion in revenue in a single quarter. But the most interesting part of its November 10 financial update is not the headline number. It is the contrast between accelerating customer demand and the enormous cost of building and operating advanced AI.

The business is getting bigger. Enterprise customers are spending more. Yet the losse

$ZEC Morning plan: enter a short-term short at 1040, targeting 1000. Last night, the price fell below the key 1000 level and formed a short-term double bottom before pulling back, but did not break below the previous low of 993.02 again. The medium-term candle also closed very nicely in the green. The morning high reached 1069.45, followed by a downtrend structure of lower highs and lower lows. The previous low of 993.02 failed to provide support, so a bro

Anthropic’s regional restrictions, ostensibly aimed at preventing distillation, effectively try to exclude all Chinese users across the board. This may be the biggest blunder in its related policies.

Efforts to precisely target distillation have never really materialized. Instead, they’ve broadly blocked an entire group. The Chinese are among the smartest and most fiercely competitive people on the planet, and given that existing model tools aren’t generations behind Claude, it’s only a matter of time before they develop all kinds of practical workarounds. The higher the wall, the better the

Why Aren’t Stablecoins Necessarily Safe? Understanding the Mechanisms and Risks Behind Price Stability

In the Web3 world, stablecoins are often used as units of account for trading, tools for transferring funds, and means of payment on-chain.

Since many stablecoins target a price of $1, many users instinctively assume that as long as the price does not fluctuate significantly, they are as safe as cash.

But this actually conflates two different questions:

Price stability and asset safety are not the same thing.

Why Does a Transaction Show as Successful While the Funds Still Haven’t Arrived? Understand These 5 Key Stages

In cryptocurrency transactions, one situation can be especially stressful:

Your wallet shows the transaction as successful, and the blockchain explorer also shows a transaction record, but the assets still haven’t appeared in the receiving account.

Some people think the platform has taken their money, some suspect the transaction failed, and others, worried their assets are lost, rush to send the funds again.

But in reality, a successful on-chain transaction does not necessarily m

Why Do People Keep Falling for These Common Crypto Scams?

Scams in the crypto asset space don’t always succeed because the technology is too complicated.

Sometimes, an official-looking website, a friendly direct message from customer support, or even an apparently free airdrop can become an entry point for risk.

What’s truly worth watching out for is that many scams don’t directly attack the technology; instead, they exploit people’s trust, greed, fear, and sense of urgency.

What Are Smart Contracts? How Do They Power Web3 Applications? From How They Work to Real-World Use Cases, Understanding Their Value and Risks

In the Web3 world, we often hear the term smart contract.

DeFi lending, decentralized trading, NFT trading, and DAO governance—many on-chain applications rely on smart contracts to run.

But what exactly is a smart contract? Can it really understand human intent like a traditional contract? Why can a vulnerability in the code cause severe asset losses?

Understanding these questions is an important step toward understanding Web3 infrastructure.

Is BTC suitable for dollar-cost averaging? Use time to invest at a more comfortable pace!

In the cryptocurrency market, many people hope to buy at the lowest point and sell at the highest. But in reality, even experienced investors find it difficult to accurately predict every market turn. Some make a lump-sum purchase and then face a sharp drawdown, while others keep waiting for a lower price and ultimately miss a long-term rally.

So, is BTC suitable for dollar-cost averaging?

First, it reduces the difficulty of market timing. The biggest advantage of dollar-cost averaging is investing fun

The Democrats do not want war. Trump can no longer attack Iran; he is compelled to reach an agreement... and he will do so. The decline in oil prices supports this view. For this reason, I see every dip especially in $BTC as an opportunity. While risks can be high during such periods, the potential gains are equally significant. In my opinion, we have already moved past the riskiest phase...
