…With zkSync, the smart contracts are written in Solidity or Vyper (same as Ethereum) and can be called using the same clients as other EVM-compatible chains. Amongst the ZK rollups, zkSync Era has the highest TVL, totalling US$668 million as of 30 June 2023. It has been projected that Web3 services will require almost 90 billion Zero-Knowledge proofs to be executed in 2030, with market-wide completion of 83,000 transactions per second. For comparison, the Visa network processes up to 65,000 tra…

…Unlike Bitcoin, which primarily serves as a decentralised digital currency, Ethereum enables developers to build decentralised applications (dapps) using its programmable blockchain. The network operates on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), which processes smart contracts—self-executing agreements that run without intermediaries. Ethereum transitioned from a proof-of-work (PoW) consensus mechanism to Proof of Stake (PoS) with ‘The Merge’ in 2022, significantly reducing energy consumption…

…Inspired by Ethereum’s ERC-20, BRC-20 enables developers to create and transfer fungible tokens using the Ordinals protocol.Unlike the ERC-20 token standard, BRC-20 doesn’t make use of smart contracts. It utilises Ordinals inscriptions of JSON data to deploy, mint, and transfer tokens.With recent momentum, a total of 14,200 different tokens (and counting) have been minted using the BRC-20 standard (at the time of writing) — such as the ORDI, the first BRC-20 token. Brief Introduction to BR…

…Blockchains allow for a decentralised ledger of ordered transactions to be decided upon independently of any centralised authority. How blockchain technology manages DEXes In other words, rather than a company guaranteeing that a series of financial transactions occurred in a certain order (essentially requiring users to trust that their assessment is accurate), a blockchain allows a series of decentralised nodes to decide the order of transactions through one of a variety of consensus mechani…

…Chainlink is a decentralized currency, which means you can buy, sell, and exchange it without having to rely on traditional monetary systems.What is Chainlink?Chainlink (LINK) was launched in 2017 by Sergey Nazarov to solve the oracle problem, ensuring that smart contracts can securely connect with off-chain data without relying on centralized entities. It’s an ERC-20 token that node operators use to participate in the network, providing accurate, tamper-proof data, and securing Chainlink’s …
