Mixers. Computational data layers. Zero-knowledge proofs: these are just a few of the technologies being leveraged to enhance privacy on the ethereum blockchain. Privacy for a public blockchain network is a bitRead More…
Staking is money you don’t want to miss out on — simple as that, right? While most cryptos today are trading 70 -90 percent below their all-time highs, staking is making whatRead More…
Justin Sun, founder of the Tron blockchain, has paid $4.75 million for the privilege of having lunch with legendary investor Warren Buffett. News outlets around the world picked up this news, trumpetingRead More…
Advances in cryptography are converging to help developers bring blockchain applications closer to the core decentralizing principles on which this technology is founded. Inventions such as atomic swaps, zk-SNARKS and Lightning-based smart contracts are allowing developers toRead More…
In nature, fast is better than slow. Being able to outrun your predator increases your chances of survival, as does being able to outrun your prey. So, evolution does its thing andRead More…
Three blockchain technology companies have joined a multi-industry consortium dedicated to protecting members against the threat of patent assertion entities (PAEs) – more commonly known as patent trolls. Revealed exclusively to CoinDesk,Read More…
A newly-proposed relay protocol could reduce the “transaction bandwidth” used up by bitcoin nodes by up to 75%. Called Erlay, the proposed protocol alters the way transactions are relayed so that theyRead More…
Purchasing cryptocurrencies often involves using the services of a digital asset exchange. Such trading platforms typically differ in terms of features, listed coins and supported fiat currencies. Exchangify.io is a website thatRead More…
There’s a scene in Pixar’s “A Bug’s Life” (a very underrated movie) where Hopper (the evil grasshopper) clocks his whiny brother with a seed. And then another. Neither really hurt, obviously. HeRead More…
A cryptographic solution called zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP) could help notoriously slow decentralized exchanges (DEXs) reach speeds comparable to more traditional platforms. San Francisco-based DEX startup 0x is partnering with the Israeli software-as-serviceRead More…
