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...
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...

Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) are the hottest new technology in blockchain — and for good reason. The ability to prove something while not having to share the available information behind it is just immensely powerful. This is particularly true as it relates to digital identity. Think about how you’d prove you’re...
The cryptocurrency industry finds itself at a critical juncture, experiencing the malaise of regulatory uncertainty that looms over innovation like the Sword of Damocles. The U.S., once a hub for crypto innovation, has seen a marked decline in initial coin offerings (ICOs) and token launches as the threat of enforcement...
That's how some still describe DeFi. Yet the saloons are awash with corrupt gain – almost $19 billion since 2011. We created this decentralized utopia on transparency, on the belief that public ledgers would create the trust we all needed. As it turns out, that’s an open invitation for very...
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"...
As many others, we’re all on a quest to find the holy grail of digital identity. A way to prove who we are online without handing our entire lives over to Google, governments, or some shady corporation. Surely zero-knowledge proofs (ZK) were the solution! Untraceable, secure... the ultimate shield. But...
Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, recently released a proposal for a new digital identity system—which he’s dubbed “pluralistic identity.” Buterin contends that this system is the key to protecting individual privacy, while allowing anyone to participate in an equitable way in the digital economy. He warns that even privacy-preserving systems...
The cryptocurrency industry is currently going through a deep paradigm shift. Regulatory clarity is growing, enforcement actions are changing, and institutional interest is increasing. Recent developments across the globe signal a maturing market, with jurisdictions refining their approaches to digital assets and seeking to balance innovation with risk management. Read...
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...
Humanity Protocol opened the doors to its fast and secure decentralized ID service on June 26. The H token saw its value explode following a successful “Fairdrop” to early users and supporters. The H token, meanwhile, has seen a 40% price surge over the last 24 hours. The flood, of...
The crypto world loves a good narrative, and Humanity Protocol's H token is dripping with one: a fairdrop revolution. Yet the promise is unmistakable. We will fight to reclaim airdrops from the arms of the bot armies and restore them to actual, live human beings. The method? Palm scans. Yes,...
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...
Just as Mark Zuckerberg made headlines with a big pivot to the now overly-hyped Metaverse, he’s undertaking another big pivot. He’s recently been exploring the thrilling worlds of AI and AGI (Artificial General Intelligence). After the hype and billions of dollars, Meta’s Metaverse projects—especially Horizon Worlds—have found difficulty in attracting...
