Even though crypto markets have come under pressure in the recent past, Bitcoin is still the undisputed leader among decentralized digital currencies. But how does a system without a central authority, no founder, no CEO, adapt and improve? For Bitcoin, it happens with full transparency with public knowledge through a Bitcoin Improvement Proposal or BIP. A BIP is a formal design document that provides information to the Bitcoin community or describes a new feature for the network. As Bitcoin has no one in charge, the BIP acts as its legislative branch, making sure every proposed change is examined, debated, and […]
Blockchain infrastructure has changed significantly over the past decade. Platforms like Ethereum introduced smart contracts and composability. Today, the pressure has shifted again. Users no longer care only about decentralization. They want applications that feel fast, predictable, and usable without needing to understand gas mechanics or wallet complexity. That change in user expectations is part of the reason networks like NEAR Protocol have adjusted their focus over time. NEAR is no longer marketed simply as a sharded blockchain. In 2026, its identity centers on user-owned AI, chain abstraction, and seamless cross-chain interaction. A Different Approach to Identity and Cross-Chain Access […]
In the world of crypto, names like Satoshi Nakamoto carry a lot of weight. He is the mystery man who started it all. But there is another name that deserves just as much credit, even though most people barely know it: Gavin Andresen. Satoshi might have invented Bitcoin, but Andresen is the one who kept it breathing when it easily could have collapsed. Gavin’s story is about a regular programmer who got thrown into a tough situation. The anonymous creator of Bitcoin handed him control of everything and then just disappeared. What followed was years of hard technical work, steady […]

Imagine you are walking down a bustling street in Abu Dhabi or New York. You look up at a shimmering $500 million skyscraper. Historically, that building belongs to a massive corporation, a sovereign wealth fund, or a billionaire. For the average person, “investing” in that property would seem impossible, unless you had a few million dollars to spare. Now look at that same building and imagine it has been “shredded” into one million tiny pieces. Each piece is a digital certificate called a token. You buy one for $500. You now officially own 1/1,000,000th of that skyscraper. When the tenants […]

ERC-721 is a technical standard used on the Ethereum blockchain to create non-fungible tokens, which people refer to as NFTs. ERC-721 tokens differ from cryptocurrencies like Ether and ERC-20 tokens because they exist as individual distinct assets. Each token possesses unique characteristics which prevent its direct exchange with other tokens through one-to-one transactions. The ERC-721 standard was introduced in 2018 and became the foundation for most early NFT projects. The standard establishes development guidelines which developers must adhere to when
IPFS stands for InterPlanetary File System. The term may sound like something from a sci-fi book, but it’s really a more decentralized way to store and share data on the internet. To get a better idea of IPFS, consider the regular web to be a big library where companies like Google and Amazon keep books and files, like photos, videos, and documents, on their central servers. If those servers fail or get locked, you can’t access the books. This is
In the crypto world, ASIC stands for Application-Specific Integrated Circuit. To put it simply, it is a piece of hardware designed to do exactly one thing and nothing else. In the early days of Bitcoin, people mined using the CPUs in their home laptops. Eventually, they realized GPUs or gaming graphics cards were faster. But as the competition grew, developers created the ASIC. ASICs are the heavy machinery of the crypto mining industry that help solve the complex mathematical puzzles
In the world of cryptocurrency, an address functions like a digital bank account number or a specialized email address. It is a string of alphanumeric characters that identifies a specific destination on a blockchain where funds can be sent or received. The address acts as your digital identity on the blockchain. So in case a friend needs to send you crypto, it is your wallet address that you must share with them. This will ensure that the blockchain knows exactly
