Explore the concept of "Preconfirmation" in blockchain technology and how it enhances transaction efficiency by addressing delays and ordering issues. This article delves into the innovative application of preconfirmation in the Taiko project, highlighting its breakthroughs in decentralization and scalability.

Gate Research (February 22-27, 2025): On February 21, Gate.io Launchpool introduced Rivalz Network (RIZ). The same day, Bybit experienced a major security breach with approximately $1.5 billion in ETH stolen. On February 24, Infini faced abnormal fund transfers due to internal operational errors, but fully compensated users to protect their assets. On February 25, Ethereum's Pectra upgrade hit roadblocks on the Holesky testnet, failing to reach final confirmation, which could potentially delay mainnet deployment. On February 26, the SEC officially ended its investigation into Uniswap. Also on February 26, Ondo Finance announced its integration with the Mastercard network.

With breakthroughs in quantum computing, the security of cryptocurrencies is facing unprecedented challenges. Google's newly launched Willow quantum chip demonstrates quantum computing’s powerful potential. Many experts warn that it could shake the foundations of current encryption technologies and even threaten the survival of major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. This article will explore the development of quantum computing, its potential impact on cryptocurrencies, and how the market might respond to this technological revolution.

Explore how multidimensional EIP-1559 optimizes Ethereum's gas efficiency by separating resource costs, enhancing scalability, and improving network utilization.

We are seeing a shift towards single powerful servers; Solana, Megaeth, and the wide array of single sequencers all lean into one thing: single high throughput, high memory server (of these, the non L2 will always be practically fastest).

Gate Research (Feb 15-21, 2025): On February 17, the President of Argentina was accused of fraud following the collapse of the LIBRA token. On February 18, the Abu Dhabi branch of global investment management firm Brevan Howard Digital deployed $20 million in assets to the Ethereum Layer 2 network Kinto, participating in its on-chain financial ecosystem. On February 19, Hyperliquid's HyperEVM mainnet officially launched, introducing "universal programmability" to its Layer 1 blockchain. On February 19, Gate.io teamed up with the Consensus conference to create a new model for Web3 music social networking.

Discover Initia's revolutionary Enshrined Liquidity mechanism, a groundbreaking approach to maximizing L1 capital efficiency in the multichain ecosystem. This innovative system allows users to simultaneously provide liquidity and stake tokens, creating a sustainable economic model that enhances network security, ensures deep

This article provides an in-depth analysis of Angle Protocol's oracle design and its defense mechanisms against front-running transactions. By combining Chainlink and Uniswap V3 TWAP, Angle offers an innovative solution aimed at protecting the protocol from front-running attacks while ensuring users receive fair transaction prices.

In this series, we'll explain what Preconfirmation means for Ethereum users, validators, and applications (Based Rollups included), and explore what needs to happen to maximize its UX benefits.

This article examines the "lemon problem" in crypto—where users can't easily tell good projects from bad ones, creating a trust crisis in the ecosystem. It suggests using Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZK) technology for self-regulation, building trust and social consensus while keeping the system permissionless. This approach would let the crypto ecosystem develop robust security measures, much like the casino industry has done, ultimately turning "lemons" into "peaches" and making crypto an essential part of economic life.

This article explores the intersection of quantum computing and blockchain technology—two revolutionary innovations shaping the future of digital security, cryptography, and decentralized systems. It also discusses how quantum algorithms can enhance blockchain efficiency, scalability, and resilience while addressing cryptographic challenges in the digital age.

Fluid not only saves users millions of dollars through its efficient settlement mechanisms but also enhances the security and user experience of the lending market by introducing Fluid DEX. The article provides a detailed analysis of the main threats faced by the lending market during liquidation events, including bad debt and asset utilization issues caused by the failure to liquidate in a timely manner, and explains how Fluid effectively avoids liquidity crises through its DEX mechanism.

We the Cypherpunks are dedicated to building anonymous systems. We are defending our privacy with cryptography, with anonymous mail forwarding systems, with digital signatures, and with electronic money.

This article delves into the rise of the intersection between artificial intelligence (AI) and cryptocurrency, focusing on the rapid development of AI agents and their profound impact on the crypto market. It analyzes the origins, development, and classification of AI agents, and explores in detail the fusion of AI agents with Memecoin culture, as well as how this fusion has accelerated the rapid expansion of the AI agent field.

Against the background that Solana's new narrative is in urgent need of succession, Sonic, SOON, and Solayer of the SVM ecosystem are using differentiated technical paths to try to answer the ultimate industry proposition of "high concurrency, low latency, and cross-chain compatibility." This article will also dismantle the deep logic of this SVM arms race from the three dimensions of underlying architecture, ecological strategy, and market position.
