The cryptocurrency sector is undergoing a confidence crisis. The unavoidable transparency of blockchain technology goes against the growing desire for user privacy and security. The default transparency of blockchain technology, while enabling decentralization, can expose personal details and transaction histories, turning into a privacy nightmare for users. Recent deaths of...
DeFi was supposed to deliver the financial revolution, making every transaction invisible from the watchful gaze of the state and big tech. Revolutions, like mirrors, are sometimes long in showing their unintended consequences. We’re looking into DeFi’s reflective dark mirror, and what’s looking back is not so beautiful. The search...
The landscape of decentralized finance (DeFi) is moving at a dizzying speed, creating new opportunities and dangers everyday. Among the most pressing is the DeFi privacy trilemma: balancing the need for privacy with the demands of compliance and the core principle of decentralization. Now as DeFi has matured due to...
You've probably heard the narrative: CEXs are embracing DeFi, expanding access, innovating for the future. Sounds nice, doesn't it?CEXs are scared. Scared of competition, scared of a decentralized internet, scared of an ordered world where their intermediaries are no longer a requirement. They're reacting, yes, but their moves into "CeDeFi"...
Even more interestingly, centralized exchanges (CEXs) are embarking on decentralized finance (DeFi). They are, instead, adopting a third, hybrid CeDeFi model that marries the best of both centralized and decentralized approaches. That strategic shift is driven by a handful of key factors. Specifically, we seek early access to tokens that...
We know that CEXs, or centralized exchanges, are attacking the DeFi sector in full force. This trend is transforming the whole crypto ecosystem. Behemoths such as Binance, Coinbase and Bybit are at the helm of this push, doing so with their own, varied approaches. This article describes the issues propelling...

Even the titans of the CEX world—notably Binance, Coinbase, and Bybit—have jumped into the DeFi pool. They’re not just telling a story, they’re creating something extraordinary. CeDeFi. But...

Okay, let's cut the fluff. You're here because you want to know where the smart money's going in DeFi, and I'm here to tell you. It seems that June 2025 is becoming the high-stakes, make-or-break month, with some projects performing very well, while others are totally tanking. Forget the hype;...
Alright, so now Cardano’s getting into the Bitcoin DeFi chase with Cardinal Protocol. Wrapped UTXOs, MuSig2, the whole nine yards. The hype is real. Last but not least, Bitcoin holders finally have a way to play in the DeFi sandbox without having to trust some sketchy centralized custodian, right? Maybe...
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.

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...
Just as Mark Zuckerberg made headlines with a big pivot to the now overly-hyped Metaverse, he’s undertaking another big pivot.

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...
