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...

She cautions that if we don’t get foundational pieces right, we could deepen vulnerabilities that already exist. At a recent cybersecurity conference in Kentucky, Kelley reiterated his call...
DeFi. Decentralized Finance. It’s supposed to be our fintech revolution, after all, isn’t it? Untethered from the scrutinizing gaze and necessarily heavy hand of these centralized institutions. But here's the uncomfortable truth: the rush to inject AI into DeFi identity verification is a dangerous game. We’re not debating an inconvenient...

KYC. Just the acronym alone is enough to send shivers down the spine of anyone who’s ever attempted to enter the confusing world of DeFi. It's supposed to protect us, but all too often, it feels like a clunky, invasive system that's ripe for abuse. Are we truly safer by...

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.

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.

After the hype and billions of dollars, Meta’s Metaverse projects—especially Horizon Worlds—have found difficulty in attracting...
