This article explores the integration of AI narratives with seven established public blockchains, including Qtum, Near, and Polygon. However, overall, even with AI integration, these established public blockchains seem to show less vigor and determination, teetering on the line between bandwagoning and genuine efforts.

This article delves into the latest updates in public blockchain platforms like Ethereum, highlighting innovations in the execution, data availability, and settlement layers. Notable are projects like Monad, Sei, and MegaETH that introduce parallel EVM technologies to enhance the execution layer. Ethereum's cost-efficiency improvements via CallData updates and the progression of projects like Celestia and Avail in the DA layer are also discussed. Furthermore, new competitors in the settlement layer, such as Nebra, are emerging with promising, cost-effective solutions based on zero-knowledge proofs. The integration of Bitcoin and CKB into the DA layer and innovative DA strategies leveraging AI are also explored.

Authorization phishing is a means for hackers to steal user assets by exploiting signature functionality. Common methods include Permit and Permit2 signature phishing. Users should increase their security awareness, segregate large funds from on-chain wallets, and learn to identify signature formats to prevent phishing. Permit2 is a feature introduced by Uniswap that is easily exploited by phishing websites.

As we enter 2024, blockchain technology and market prospects stand at the threshold of a new cycle, where innovation and challenges intertwine. This year marks the innovation of Rollup technology and ZK-EVM.

Omni Network is an interoperability layer and L1 network on Ethereum, designed to connect various Roll-ups such as Optimism, Arbitrum, zkSync, and Starkware. It employs foundational technology innovations like re-staking via Eigenlayer, the Cosmos SDK, and the Tendermint consensus mechanism to offer a secure, modular, and high-performance Web3 infrastructure. Omni Network supports cross-Rollup interactions, aggregates liquidity, and simplifies user processes. It also introduces a dual-staking model, offers sub-second verification, and integrates with multiple Rollup architectures and applications. Omni Network has completed two rounds of funding, backed by prominent investors such as Pantera Capital, and has conducted a token sale on Binance's launchpool.

The article provides an in-depth exploration of the development history of Bitcoin technology, especially its challenges in handling large-scale applications and transaction scale. The article analyzes the limitations of Bitcoin's original technology, such as the UTXO model, non-Turing complete scripting language, and the history and reasons of Bitcoin forks. Subsequently, the article introduced in detail several key technologies in the development of Bitcoin, including OP_RETURN, Segregated Witness (Segwit), Taproot technology, as well as Schnorr signatures, MAST and Taproot Scripts. The article also discusses new Bitcoin-based protocols such as Ordinals, Inscriptions, and BRC-20, and how they promote the development of the Bitcoin ecosystem. Finally, the article looks forward to the potential applications of new technologies and their possible impact on future development.

The article discusses the phenomenon of skyrocketing network fees following Bitcoin's halving, pointing out its correlation with the introduction of a new protocol called "Runes." Runes is a color coin protocol based on Bitcoin, which allows the issuance of tokens on Bitcoin's UTXO (Unspent Transaction Output) set. Due to the mechanics of the Runes protocol, users compete for block space to issue assets, which in turn drives up transaction fees. The article also addresses related game theory issues, including asset issuance sniping and second-order games, where participants compete by raising fees, but this can ultimately lead to irrational outcomes. The author argues that the current pace of Runes asset issuance is unsustainable and predicts that this situation will not last long.

This article provides a detailed overview of the Ethena protocol season 2 event, which rewards its governance token ENA by accumulating points (Sats). It introduces three different strategies to participate in Ethena's airdrop mining, including the low-risk strategy of holding and staking USDe, the medium-risk strategy of purchasing USDe YT (yield tokens) on Pendle, and the high-risk strategy of combining ENA and USDe YT. The article also provides calculation examples of potential returns on investment (ROI) and annual percentage yields (APY) based on different strategies and discusses the risks and rewards of these strategies.

UXLINK aims to mine the value of social data, release the liquidity of social data, and explore the specific application of social data in financial scenarios. In the Web3 world, socializing has also been viewed as a key entry point for mass adoption. UXLINK is based on the acquaintance social track. Through low threshold, Link-to-Earn and group tools, it has gained more than 7 million users and has become a Web3 social gateway in the eyes of many.

This article will provide an in-depth analysis of the logic and challenges behind choosing the RGB protocol, and provide a detailed introduction to how the RGB++ protocol works, its position in the market, and how it may change the way we understand and utilize Layer 2 solutions.

The latest innovation in the blockchain technology field, the ERC314 protocol, has sparked discussions once again following ERC404. Its notable feature lies in supporting direct transfers like native tokens, without relying on DEX or SWAP, while allowing customization of token attributes and enhancing security.

The 12 best sites to hunt crypto airdrops combine exchange holder programs such as Gate HODLer Airdrop, dedicated aggregators, wallet claim checkers, and social discovery channels so hunters can find legitimate crypto airdrop campaigns without relying on any single unverified list.

This article discusses the execution layer and the settlement layer, with Ethereum continuing to support rollups. However, new execution layers and more rollup service providers may bring higher throughput, security, and innovation. Interoperability is also essential, with some protocols in development aiming to ultimately achieve a world with over 100,000 chains, driving the blockchain industry towards genuine adoption.

Staking ETH is a technical service to ensure transactions on the Ethereum network are processed properly and securely, rather than as an investment subject to securities laws.

Fetch.ai is a blockchain-based decentralized machine learning platform, and its open-source software project aims to build infrastructure for developing modern, decentralized, and peer-to-peer (P2P) applications.
