State of DeFi 3Q24
DeFi faced Q3 volatility head-on, showing resilience in lending, staking, and cross-chain bridges.
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!

A conversation with Antonio Palma, Business Director at My Neighbor Alice
Our vision is to create a gaming environment where players not only own and control their digital assets but also have ownership of the game itself. Decentralisation gives players the freedom to control, trade, and transfer in-game assets across platforms without relying on centralised entities that might change the rules or devalue assets. At My Neighbor Alice, we aim to implement this through on-chain game logic, a player-driven economy, and decentralised governance, where the community will eventually influence game developments, asset creation, and updates.
