Explore Starknet’s potential transition from an Ethereum Layer 2 to an independent Layer 1, including security assumptions, data availability, bridging, governance, ecosystem migration, and the implications for STRK.

What is zkAPI? Learn how zero-knowledge proofs can enable privacy-preserving AI API payments, anonymous credentials, usage verification, and blockchain-based settlement.

How does NEAR Intents differ from traditional cross-chain bridges? This article explains NEAR Intents’ intent-driven trading architecture, competitive quoting mechanism among solvers, and the roles of the Message Bus and Verifier contracts. It also compares the two cross-chain approaches in terms of asset transfers, liquidity, settlement efficiency, and security risks.

Starknet operates as an Ethereum validity rollup (Layer 2): it executes offchain, posts STARK proofs and data to Ethereum for settlement. An independent Layer 1 would mean Starknet provides its own settlement and security base instead of inheriting Ethereum’s. That shift is under evaluation, not a completed migration, and still requires governance.

EigenCloud is a verifiable cloud developer platform built on EigenLayer and powered by the EIGEN token. It unifies third-party AVSs with EigenDA, EigenCompute, EigenVerify, and EigenAI so offchain execution and AI inference can be proven—without launching a new Layer 1.

What is a hardware wallet supply chain attack? Explore the 2026 Ledger security incident, how hardware tampering threatens cold wallets, and practical ways to protect crypto assets.

What is Celestia Fibre? Explore how its data availability architecture, erasure coding, validator-based storage, and 3.07 Tb/s benchmark could improve scalability for modular blockchains and rollups.

Starknet is a blockchain network built around STARK proofs. Explore its Ethereum Layer 2 architecture, post-quantum security research, potential Layer 1 transition, and the implications for evaluating the STRK ecosystem.

Incentiv is a live EVM-compatible Proof-of-Work Layer 1 centered on native Advanced Account Abstraction (AAA). Users submit intents via smart wallets; Bundlers batch them and EntryPoint validates and executes atomically. Portal, Paymaster, and Unified Token reduce the need to pre-hold native gas. The native token is CENT; Mainnet Chain ID is 24101.

Incentiv+ is Incentiv’s protocol-layer economic engine: after Gas fees are split at the protocol layer, most enter a unified reward pool and are allocated as CENT to users, developers, miners, Bundlers, and liquidity providers by measurable on-chain contribution—not transaction count alone. Scoring is independent per role and distributes at each weekly epoch.

Discover how Zeus Network connects Bitcoin and Solana through ZeusNode, Guardian validators, MPC signatures, ZEUS staking, cross-chain verification, and slashing mechanisms.

Zeus Network (ZEUS) is cross-chain liquidity infrastructure connecting Bitcoin and Solana. Through ZeusNode, zBTC, ZPL, and BitcoinKit, it enables BTC tokenization, cross-chain verification, and DeFi applications. Explore how Zeus Network works, the utility of the ZEUS token, the development of the BitcoinFi ecosystem, and potential risks.

Discover the 7 major hardware wallet security risks in 2026, including supply chain attacks, seed phrase leaks, blind signing, firmware vulnerabilities, and phishing. Learn how to protect your crypto assets.

Enterprise stablecoin payments are creating new options alongside bank payment rails. This article explores SAP Pay, USDC, and EURC, explaining payment routing, onchain settlement, cross-border transactions, and corporate treasury management.

Quantus (QTC) is a crypto asset built around post-quantum cryptography. This article explores its PoW mechanism, privacy features, 21 million supply cap, NEAR cross-chain liquidity, and ecosystem.
