CEXs entering DeFi? Big deal, right? Innovation! Progress! Collaboration! Wrong. Dead wrong. As someone who's been neck-deep in DeFi since before it was cool (and yes, I do spin some vinyl, the real kind), I see something else entirely: fear. Cold, hard, existential fear.CEXs are data hoarders. They have complete...
The metaverse is dead? Please. That's what they want you to think. Myth 2— Mainstream media are tooting the same horn of failure Patients lost their health, as centralized IP corporations poured billions into walled-garden so-called virtual worlds, only to watch them wither on the vine. Well, I’m here to...
The battle for gaming’s future The game has changed, and the old guard ain’t liking it one bit. Banks would have you think that lending is their turf, some mysterious black magic that only they – and only they – can perform. They greet you with outrageous fees, embarrassing interest...
Okay, let's be real. When I first saw the headline that Sui Name Service (SNS) had caught “sui.eth,” my first thought was a little nonchalant shoulder-shrug emoji. Another domain name acquisition? So what? The DJ in me knows that branding and accessibility count for a lot in a busy marketplace....
Illicit activity is at an all-time high across the entire digital asset ecosystem. So far in just the first half of 2025, attackers have drained more than $2.1 billion. This nearly incomprehensible amount has sent shockwaves throughout the digital asset ecosystem. This further underscores the growing risks and vulnerabilities in...
$2.1 billion. Let that number sink in. That’s how much we — the DeFi community — have all lost collectively, and that’s just in the first half of 2025. That’s double the damages of last year, and it should be a blaring siren screaming that something is fundamentally broken on...
It was meant to be the promise of finance’s new frontier, after all. To put it frankly, we can do a lot better. Getting around all the gobbledygook and mechanics is like putting together IKEA furniture without any directions! Frustrating, to say the least. Most of us want to participate,...
Okay, let's cut the chase. 20%. That 25% number has been producing some serious hype in DeFi circles. It shows how Gyroscope has been doing compared to Uniswap and Aerodrome on ETH/USDC market on Base Chain. Twenty percent. In a world where basis points make all the difference, that’s not...
WLF is taking notable steps in the stablecoin space with its USD1.

It's a whirlwind, isn't it? One minute you're reading about institutional investors pouring billions into Bitcoin, the next you're bombarded with news about the latest meme coin promising overnight riches. As of writing, the hot crypto to know is Neo Pepe Coin ($NEOP). Fad, future of finance, or something else...
Remember the early days of the internet? Wild West, right? That’s how DeFi seemed just a few years ago. “Rug pulls” started entering the broader crypto lexicon. That’s starting to change and for the better. We know regulation can be a buzzkill but it’s the only way to find out...
A billion-dollar valuation for the ability to palm scan? No joke. While everyone’s chasing the next crypto unicorn, I can’t shake the feeling we're blindly galloping towards a future where our bodies are the ultimate key – and the ultimate target. Humanity Protocol’s H token has skyrocketed, partially fueled by...
It’s that same sort of exuberance you felt when you first heard about the metaverse. The fulfillment of digital utopia, being in touch with everyone on planet Earth through expansive online metaverses, creating prosperous virtual societies? It sounded revolutionary. Now, look at Horizon Worlds. Clunky avatars, digital tumbleweeds, and a...
Zuckerberg wants AGI. Personal superintelligence, he calls it. An AI that essentially runs your life. Sounds convenient, right? Maybe. But let's be brutally honest: entrusting the keys to your existence to a single, centralized entity – especially one with Zuckerberg's track record – is a recipe for disaster. Well, it’s...
DeFi might seem like a remote world, but I’ll never forget being at a DeFi conference last year. The typical panicky lunge for registration lines, relatable uncomfortable small talk… but then, wait, what’s this. Rather than needing to keep up with a paper name tag, I simply scanned a QR...
I’ve always been interested in the way art and technology can bring people together. My past as a graphic novel artist and writer showed me the impact visual storytelling can have on connecting with others. I never envisioned how powerful these digital collectibles could be – how they can be...
Take Fatima as an example, a skilled weaver in a rural Ethiopian community. Though her detailed designs are breathtaking, getting her products in front of customers outside of her small local market is an ongoing challenge. Picture this—Fatima exploring a bustling metaverse marketplace. Today, her engaging digital tapestries are critically...
Consider the case of a smallholder farmer in rural Africa, not able to receive a loan due to the lack of a verifiable national ID. Or a woman entrepreneur in Latin America, swimming against bureaucratic red tape just to register her business. This is not merely an inconvenience, it is...
