This article examines the mainnet launch of AO, a new project in the Arweave ecosystem. Despite its connection to trending AI technology, the launch generated minimal market interest. Three main factors contribute to this lukewarm reception: the limited airdrop size (AR holders received just 0.016 AO tokens on average), modest network activity levels despite some growth, and the ecosystem's early developmental stage—with TVL at $315 million, lower than during its testnet phase. The article suggests that AO's future hinges on its ability to convert its technical vision into real-world applications.

The article provides a detailed overview of the initial incentive plan for the Story project and the incentive philosophy behind it. It aims to reward real users and community contributors through a fair token distribution scheme. It not only explains how Story ensures the fairness of its incentive mechanism through strict anti-Sybil and anti-farming measures but also showcases its long-term ecosystem support plans, including ecosystem grants and hackathon rewards.

Instead of adapting existing services for crypto, traditional companies are creating blockchain-native products, with at least 55 innovating on public chains like Ethereum and its L2s (Polygon, Arbitrum, Base).

This article explores the impact of financialization trends on the crypto market by analyzing Trump's token issuance, DeepSeek's open-source strategy, and reciprocal tariffs. It also discusses the phase-out of technical narratives in the Web3 field and the rise of DEX (Decentralized Exchanges) challenging traditional CEX (Centralized Exchanges).

With the waning effect of Bitcoin’s halving and the launch of ETFs, the crypto market is entering a new paradigm. This article explores the reasons for the failure of the 4-year cycle, and shares strategies for sustained profitability in 2025, including using the time compound interest effect and setting transaction invalidation standards to help you move forward steadily in the new landscape.

SVM is the "virtual computer" used on the Solana blockchain to run smart contracts and handle transactions. Unlike Ethereum's Virtual Machine (EVM), SVM uses parallel processing. Thanks to its built-in Sealevel engine, SVM can process thousands of transactions simultaneously, rather than sequentially like EVM, significantly speeding up transaction processing and improving network scalability. Moreover, SVM is developed using Rust, a language known for its performance, security, and ability to handle concurrent tasks, giving Solana a technical advantage when managing high loads.

Ethereum has always been where ideas become reality. Now we have the chance to build something even bigger. A platform that aligns Ethereum’s builders, researchers, and users on what actually matters.
