Edel is expanding from tokenized stock lending infrastructure into Runway, Vaults, and Markets, spanning on-chain financing, structured strategies, and Canton-native Perpetual Futures to create a composable RWA market ecosystem.

Edel (EDEL) is an on-chain financial infrastructure project serving the tokenized equities market, spanning stock lending, asset issuance, market trading, and structured strategies while connecting Base and Canton Network.

A Liquidity Provider (LP) is an entity that supplies liquidity within decentralized trading platforms. This article explains how LPs work, their sources of yield, impermanent loss, and standard approaches for managing LPs.

Hyperbolic is an open-access AI platform that democratizes access to computational resources through a decentralized GPU marketplace. Founded by Dr. Jasper Zhang and Dr. Yuchen Jin, the platform enables AI inference, GPU rental, and AI model monetization—making it accessible for researchers, businesses, and developers while optimizing costs. Through its advanced architecture featuring Proof of Sampling (PoSP) and spML technology, users can execute computational tasks securely and efficiently.

SHX token powers Stronghold's payment network, enabling fast, secure, and low-cost transactions across digital and traditional financial systems.

Fireblocks is an institutional digital asset operations platform that combines MPC-based wallet security, policy controls, custody workflows, tokenization, and connectivity for storing, moving, and issuing digital assets.

When a new blockchain launches, one of the first questions investors ask is how much capital it has attracted. Total value locked, or TVL, is often used as the headline metric, but TVL alone does not tell you where that capital came from or whether users are actually moving meaningful assets into the ecosystem. That is where bridged TVL becomes useful.

BNB is a multifunctional utility token that supports the entire BNB Chain ecosystem. It was originally issued as an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum network and has since evolved into a core decentralized asset backed by its own public blockchain. As the blockchain industry shifts from simple trading toward Web3 infrastructure, BNB is widely used for fee deductions, cross-chain payments, on-chain governance, and as fuel for decentralized applications (dApps).

XPR Network is a public blockchain and smart contract platform designed for consumer applications, payments, and digital asset use. The network focuses on fast transactions, zero gas fees for end users, human-readable accounts, and on-chain identity features. Its ecosystem includes WebAuth, Metal X, DeFi applications, and tools for developers building decentralized applications.

AI Companions (AIC) is a blockchain-based platform focused on personalized virtual companionship. It combines artificial intelligence with virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and blockchain technology to create customizable digital companions and interactive experiences.

The Standard Reserve is an experimental project aiming to reinvent DeFi currency mechanisms by leveraging protocol reserves, bond issuance, and liquidity management. This examination explores its connection to OHM, operational logic, innovative features, and potential risks.

Post-quantum cryptography protects digital signatures and encryption systems with quantum-resistant algorithms. This article examines Lattice Jolt, published by a16z, the principles of lattice-based cryptography, quantum attack risks, and blockchain migration solutions.

Lattice Jolt is a new generation of zero-knowledge virtual machine (zkVM) introduced by a16z Crypto, built on the Jolt zkVM framework. Instead of developing an entirely new virtual machine, Lattice Jolt’s main advancement lies in its underlying cryptographic architecture: it replaces the Dory polynomial commitment scheme, previously based on elliptic curve cryptography, with Akita, which utilizes the Module-SIS lattice assumption. With this transition to lattice-based cryptography, Jolt now offers enhanced post-quantum security capabilities.

Qivalis is a euro stablecoin project established through collaboration among European banks and financial institutions. Its primary aim is to issue an on-chain digital payment instrument denominated in euros, backed 1:1 by reserves, and in full compliance with MiCA regulatory standards, serving as new infrastructure for European payment, settlement, and digital asset markets. Qivalis initiated its banking alliance in September 2025 and formally unveiled its company name and governance framework in December of that year. The company is currently headquartered in Amsterdam.

Euro stablecoins are transitioning from crypto trading instruments to foundational payment and settlement infrastructure. This article examines Qivalis' 1:1 euro collateralization, around-the-clock on-chain payments, enterprise treasury management, and RWA settlement approach.
