This reduces the on-chain data, therefore making transactions faster and cheaper.There are two main types of rollups:ZK-Rollups (Zero-Knowledge Rollups)Optimistic RollupsBoth offer benefits but differ in their approach to security and transaction validation.ZK-Rollups: Fast and SecureTransactions within such ZK-Rollups employ cryptographic proofs by proving a bunch of them for being valid transactions, in front of Ethereum: it provides verification in batches (validity proofs, if required, may get termed as ZK-SNARK or zk-STARK ).How ZK-Rollups WorkUsers send transactions to the ZK-Rollup…

0G Labs has introduced ERC-7857, a new NFT standard created specifically for AI agents. They call these agents Intelligent NFTs (iNFTs), each carrying its own encrypted metadata. The group hopes this format will make AI agents easier to buy, sell, and use on decentralized platforms.They also see it as a big step toward AI governed by its owners rather than a central team. This means everyone, from businesses to individual developers, could potentially trade AI agents as if they were any other asset on the blockchain.Why Traditional NFT Standards Don’t WorkAccording to 0G Labs, existing standards like ERC-721 and ERC-1155…

Homepage > News > Editorial > Bitcoin’s Hijacking: My time at CounterParty Conference The CounterParty Conference, held in Miami, was meant to be a deep dive into the history and future of tokens on Bitcoin—a gathering of OGs, protocol builders, and the diehards who have weathered the ecosystem’s many fractures. But for me, the event took an unexpected turn when I was SIM-swapped on Day 2, forcing me to miss my own panel on the block size debate, censorship, and the coordinated efforts to silence big blockers. It was a moment that felt eerily familiar—another chapter in Bitcoin’s long-running battle…

Decentralized lending protocol Aave has successfully processed $210 million in liquidations without adding to its existing bad debt. Data from Chaos Labs shows that following Monday’s flash crash, which wiped out roughly $2.2 billion in crypto market value, the extreme market volatility led to a sudden spike in liquidations across the protocol. The liquidations summed up to $210 million, the largest such single-day liquidation total since the Aug. 5 crash. Source: Chaos Labs Typically, periods of high volatility create the circumstances for bad debts because the perfect storm of multiple liquidation requests, steep price declines and low demand create lengthy…
