Today, we will examine what replacing the EVM with a RISC-V VM could mean for Ethereum, particularly in context of Layer 2 scalability. In his proposal, Vitalik highlighted one big benefit from a switch to RISC-V—namely, that ZK provers could become up to 100x more efficient.

Ethereum has a scaling plan to achieve 10,000 transactions per second on its base layer, which is roughly three times the current TPS of Solana. Researcher Justin Drake calls this phase the “gigagas era,” and thinks it can realistically be reached in about six years. Here's.

Have you ever wondered why some blockchains experience more downtimes than others?. Or why Bitcoin never does?. It's due to a critical property known as "liveness," which some chains prioritize over "safety," while others do not. Let's get into it 👇. In distributed asynchronous.

Satoshi originally shipped Bitcoin with a feature that—if it hadn’t been removed soon after—would have made it significantly more expressive/programmable. Now, there’s a community-driven push to bring it back and take Bitcoin to the next level. Know what we’re talking about? 🐱.

The biggest critique of Ethereum’s L2-centric scaling strategy is the lack of economic alignment. L2s today feel extractive rather than symbiotic. Value leaks off-chain, Ethereum’s fees & burn dry up => price stalls. However, a new breed of rollups seeks to flip this script👇.

With its block subsidy scheduled to halve every four years, can Bitcoin sustain a high security budget over the long term solely on transaction fees?. The answer to this question is way more opaque and nuanced than many Bitcoin enthusiasts believe. Let’s break down the fuss 👇.

While Bitcoin is widely regarded as the most secure cryptocurrency, its security model is often misunderstood. Many crypto enthusiasts mistakenly equate a high or rising hash rate with increased security, which is a misconception. Let’s unpack what really keeps attackers at bay.

Lose a private key, lose everything—that’s the reality of self-custody today. This UX nightmare is the most significant barrier to entry for crypto. Yet, a stealth feature already on your phone is set to change everything: no passwords, no seed phrases, no cold sweats. Look👇.

“Don’t trust, verify” is crypto’s battle cry, yet most bitcoiners still don’t understand how self-verification works. Imagine checking & trusting a $1M wire transfer by glancing at a six-line receipt. Sounds insane?. Welcome to SPV clients—Bitcoin’s pocket-sized lie detectors👇.

Quantum computers have become crypto's biggest boogeyman. The story goes that every reused Bitcoin or Ethereum address with an exposed public key is a piñata waiting to be smashed. 😱. But how serious is this threat, really?. Here's everything you need to know 👇. First off,.

Bitcoin is quietly evolving from digital gold into the bedrock of a booming Layer 2 ecosystem—one that could soon rival Ethereum's in scale and sophistication. BitVM1 showed it’s possible. BitVM2 and BitVM3 made it practical and truly powerful. Here’s why you should care👇.
