Kontos: The AI-Powered Omnichain Infrastructure Pioneering Chain Abstraction
Mainstream adoption of blockchain technology hinges on two components—interoperability and user experience (UX). For blockchain to reach users beyond digital natives earnestly discussing use cases, regardless of whether they exist yet, it needs one connected ecosystem and a decidedly web2 front end.
Analyst Notes: Insights After Dencun
The Ethereum ecosystem has undergone significant changes since the Dencun upgrade (EIP-4844) went live in March 2024. This upgrade, introducing “blobs” to more efficiently handle Layer 2 (L2) data requirements, was a critical step forward in Ethereum’s scaling journey. However, the impact of Dencun has been multifaceted, triggering shifts in the network’s economic dynamics, including a notable decline in both the amount of Ether burned and the annual percentage yield (APY) for staked Ether.
Zircuit: The L2 with AI-enabled Security
Born out of the need to scale Ethereum, Layer 2 (L2) networks have truly taken off, each with its own unique design choices. Zircuit introduces a novel feature called Sequencer Level Security, which is designed to prevent malicious transactions from ever being finalised on the blockchain.
Polkadot is levelling up
The Polkadot network has been at the forefront of blockchain innovation since its 2020 mainnet launch, and this cycle is no exception. Polkadot is reaching new heights with a host of technological advancements including the Join-Accumulate Machine, or JAM upgrade, a proliferation of AI-driven projects and applications, and new forays into decentralised physical infrastructure (DePIN). Time to level up!

Optimistic Democracy is designed to manage non-deterministic operations crucial for AI-driven smart contracts. Unlike traditional blockchains, which require every node to produce the same result, AI introduces variability that can cause nodes to generate slightly different outputs. Optimistic Democracy handles this by selecting a subset of validators that propose an outcome.

A conversation with Hong Yea, Co-Founder and CEO of GRVT
I saw the wider financial industry inevitably adopting blockchain technology. It’s like a smarter internet, not just for reading and writing data, but for storing immutable logic. This has obvious use cases in finance, starting with eliminating the need for counterparty trust—a major risk in both crypto and traditional finance.
A conversation with Dmitry Zhelezov, Co-Founder of SQD
A conversation with Dmitry Zhelezov, Co-Founder of SQD
Our approach to decentralisation involves several key strategies. Firstly, we ensure efficient storage by compressing data and distributing it across the network, making it accessible from multiple chains. This setup supports scalability and aligns with web3 values by being permissionless and decentralised. Our network architecture is designed to scale linearly—each new worker node enhances capacity and bandwidth.

Taiga provides both data and functional privacy, a concept we refer to as information flow control. This system allows developers and users to manage which information is shared during various stages of fulfilling intents. Utilising the Halo2 zero-knowledge proof system, Taiga conceals sensitive details like the type of application and the parties involved. This makes transactions from different applications indistinguishable, as they all benefit from the shared shielded transaction pool.

A conversation with Alex Momot, Founder and CEO of Peanut Trade
The market-making landscape for memecoins has experienced a noticeable slowdown, particularly on the Solana network, possibly due to seasonal factors or the exhaustion following a surge in activity. Many projects have been launched, but there’s insufficient liquidity to support them all, and the trend seems to be waning.
A conversation with Ken Timsit, Head of Cronos Labs
A conversation with Ken Timsit, Head of Cronos Labs
My background has shaped a focus on addressing the needs of retail crypto consumers, beyond just financial use cases. The Cronos ecosystem encompasses decentralised finance (DeFi), NFTs, gaming, and memecoins. Within DeFi, we’ve emphasised the composability of assets and protocols, a key advantage of blockchain technology that sets it apart from traditional fintech.
A conversation with Max Luck, Head of Growth at Flare
A conversation with Max Luck, Head of Growth at Flare
Public blockchains are designed to securely track their own data and value, requiring consensus among validating nodes for transactions. However, most global data exists outside of blockchains, creating challenges in providing decentralised, reliable access to this data. Third-party blockchain oracles often struggle with high costs, slow speeds, low scalability, and lack of decentralisation when relaying data.
