The Creator Economy Doesn’t Exist Yet. But It Can.[Alexandru Iulian Florea, Founder and CEO of Ice Open Network]
If the news from this summer is anything to go by, the creator economy is shooting into the stratosphere — and the Big Tech boys all want you to believe they’re lifting it up.
TikTok raised its creator payouts in August, promising $0.40–$1.00+ per 1,000 views for long-form video. X tweaked its ad revenue sharing and subscriptions. And eMarketer says US creators will move more than $10.5 billion in brand deals this year. Globally, the creator economy is projected to hit $191.55 billion in 2025 and surpass $528 billion by 2030.
The numbers are breathtaking. They look like proof that creators are finally in charge, that they’re an economy in their own right. But let’s not kid ourselves: scale doesn’t equal sovereignty.
We’ve all heard the cliché that creators are building on borrowed land. The reality is harsher. It’s not borrowed — it’s a walled garden where the digital landlord holds the keys. What we call the creator economy is, at best, a subdivision of the digital landlord economy. Platforms own the ground. Creators pay the rent. That’s not empowerment — it’s tenancy.
And not even the kind of tenancy you get with real property, where contracts, notice periods, and tenant rights give you some protection. In the digital landlord economy, the rules change overnight. Algorithms shift. Payout formulas vanish into black boxes. Your entire audience can disappear without warning. These are landlords with monopoly power — and they’re the worst kind of landlord.
Bigger checks don’t fix the foundation. As long as creators are tenants, the wealth they generate — in engagement, data, and cultural capital — will always flow back to the landlords.
The real next step isn’t higher payouts. It’s ownership — of identity, of data, of community, of digital footprint. That’s what makes a true creator economy.
That’s the premise of Online+: the decentralized social layer where creators own the ground they build on. Rewards are transparent. Value flows directly to the people who generate it. Community belongs to its members, not to a landlord’s servers.
Because even the biggest of castles, when built on shaky foundations, will collapse. What the world needs is a creator economy that stands on its own soil — not as a tenant of the digital landlord economy, but as a free, sovereign ecosystem.
The shift won’t come from gimmicks or payout tweaks. It will come from decentralization — from platforms that put creators in control.
The creator economy doesn’t exist yet. But it can. And if you’re a creator, it’s time to stop renting your future.
Can blockchain restore trust in digital advertising?[Olena Buyan, Chief Product Officer (CPO) at Verasity]
Trust has always been the currency of digital advertising. Advertisers need to know their budgets are reaching real human audiences and publishers need confidence that they’re being fairly compensated for the genuine attention their content generates. Yet in today’s digital ecosystem, that trust has eroded. Black-box platforms, opaque reporting, and the perpetual rise of ad fraud have left both sides second-guessing the numbers on their dashboards.
Legacy (Web2) ad tech has long tried to plug these gaps with layers of intermediaries and proprietary verification tools. Ironically, these tools are often controlled by the very same platforms they are meant to audit, leaving advertisers and publishers with no choice but to trust the platforms' own data and reporting — with little external accountability.
Blockchain flips this dynamic by making verification a neutral, tamper-proof part of the infrastructure itself. By design, blockchain technology is immutable and transparent, qualities that make it ideally suited for verifying impressions. Instead of relying on third-party reports or walled-garden metrics, every impression can be independently recorded and checked on an open ledger. Advertisers gain the assurance that their spend is being directed toward real engagement, while publishers can prove the true value of their audiences.
What this really delivers is a shared source of truth. Instead of advertisers and publishers relying on separate dashboards and conflicting reports, both sides can align on a single, verifiable record. This not only reduces disputes, but also opens the door to fairer pricing models, stronger partnerships, and ultimately, a healthier digital ad economy.
At Verasity, we’ve built our advertising infrastructure with this principle at its core. Trusted by partners across global markets, our AI, ML, and blockchain-powered fraud detection ad tech provides an auditable record of every ad view. For advertisers, that means budgets that reach real verified audiences. For publishers, it means higher CPMs. Most importantly, it means moving the digital advertising industry closer to what it has always needed: trust.
Core's Most Important Milestones[Dan Edlebeck, Marketing Contributor at Core DAO]
Core is cementing its lead in Bitcoin DeFi with $317M TVL, the highest among Bitcoin-powered chains. Network security is also at record levels - 248.8M CORE and 5,153 BTC staked, with 98% of Bitcoin blocks delegated in the past week.
Accessibility is expanding fast: the Ledger app now supports BTC timelocking and CORE staking (~5% APY) from hardware wallets, Garden Finance enables native BTC -> Core bridging, and BitGo is integrating Core into institutional custody and compliance flows.
A major milestone landed this month, the first Bitcoin Staking ETP on the London Stock Exchange went live, powered by Core and Valour - bringing regulated, yield-bearing Bitcoin exposure to one of the world’s top financial markets. This validates Core’s infrastructure as the bridge for institutional Bitcoin adoption.
Ecosystem launches are reinforcing Core’s identity as the Bitcoin Everything Chain. Molten Finance established itself as the flagship DEX with $5M+ in its first Mission campaign. Volta Market expanded into derivatives with BTC/CORE perps with up to 250x leverage, while BITS Financial and AUSD are delivering native Bitcoin yield and stablecoin infrastructure. Taicho, an AI Agent from Akka Finance, also debuted - letting users swap, lend, stake, or farm on Core simply by typing their intent.
Yield opportunities are multiplying - from Colend’s boosted stCORE promos to Vault Layer × ASX RWA strategies (~24.9% APY), users now have multiple ways to put BTC and CORE to work. b14g’s new WBTC Vault adds to this momentum, offering ~8.7% APY, one of the highest BTC yields in DeFi.
For builders, the Core Commit Program (Cohort 2 now open) provides mentorship, visibility, and incubation pathways. Alongside it, the Core Builder Sprint rewards consistent, high-quality contributions from developers of all levels, strengthening the pipeline of innovation on Core.
With upcoming showcases like Bitcoin Fusion at TOKEN2049 Singapore, Core is proving it’s not just leading in TVL - it’s building the infrastructure for Bitcoin to shift from passive capital into an active, yield-generating asset class.
Why Real-World Asset Investments in DeFi Need Both Liquidity and Yield[Ben Antes, Co-Founder of ASX]
As real-world assets (RWAs) make their way into decentralized finance (DeFi), the promise is compelling: investors can earn attractive yields on tokenized assets like bonds, real estate loans, or private credit while enjoying the transparency and speed of blockchain. But there’s a hidden tension here that many projects are struggling to solve: how to deliver high yields from long-term investments while also providing liquidity so investors can exit when they want.
Traditional finance faces the same issue. A bank lends out money in illiquid loans but promises depositors instant withdrawals. In DeFi, the problem is magnified: investors expect both the higher returns of private credit and the quick exit options of crypto trading that they are used to. But every dollar tied up in a long-term, yield-bearing loan or real world asset is a dollar that can’t instantly be returned to someone cashing out.
When too much capital is locked in illiquid assets, redemption requests can create stress, forcing projects to either pause withdrawals or sell assets at a loss. On the other hand, holding too much cash or low-yield collateral to meet redemptions eats into returns, making the investment less attractive. There is no reason to supply liquidity to a market for a fundamentally inferior yield.
This “liquidity versus yield” trade-off has already tripped up some RWA protocols. Many have learned that low secondary market trading for RWA tokens leaves investors stuck, even if the underlying asset is performing well. Others have been hit by timing mismatches, where loans pay out quarterly, but investors want monthly liquidity.
Ultimately, for RWAs to thrive in DeFi, projects must engineer systems that let investors earn the attractive yields of long-term assets without feeling locked in. Striking the right balance between yield and liquidity isn’t just a technical challenge—it’s the key to making tokenized real-world assets a mainstream financial reality.
Solving this problem on-chain can create the holy grail of yield bearing real world assets.

Ethereum’s treasury stocks are starting to exhibit early signs of a potential market reversal, sparking renewed optimism across the cryptocurrency landscape. This movement among treasuries often serves as a leading signal of shifting sentiment within the broader ETH ecosystem.
A Look At The Data Behind Ethereum On-Chain Recovery In a subtle shift that suggests the broader market may be stabilizing, Ethereum treasury stocks are beginning to flash early signs of reversal. Despite these encouraging signals, Ethereum remains well below its all-time high (ATH). Investor Ted Pillows pointed out on X that the institutional interest will only return once the charts show sustained momentum over several weeks.
Ted believes that for ETH to reclaim its ATH and hinges on capital inflow, it requires the same kind of large-scale liquidity injection the network experienced in July and August, which are critical to fueling the next leg higher.
SharpLink Gaming Inc., a prominent corporate holder of ETH, has reported strong compounding returns from its treasury strategy asset. In the past week alone, the company generated 451 ETH in staking rewards, which is utilized through both liquid and native staking. Since the launch of its ETH treasury strategy on June 2, 2025, SharpLink’s total cumulative ETH staking rewards have now reached an impressive 4,723 ETH.
Source: Chart from Ted Pillows on X According to the company, 100% continuous generation of yield is the amount of its ETH treasury, which is currently generating approximately $370,000 worth of ETH every day, showcasing ETH’s unique ability to generate yield while maintaining liquidity. SharpLink highlighted this as the reason the altcoin stands out as a superior treasury asset, which is productive, yield-bearing, and constantly compounding in value.
Despite the strong performance, the firm confirmed there were no new ETH purchases or stock buybacks over the past week, which means there won’t be a new press release for now. The company’s focus remains clear: “the asset is ETH, and the ticker is SBET,” SharpLink noted.
Ethereum Market Share Is Moving Exactly As Scripted Technical analyst Umair Crypto has noted that Ethereum dominance is currently at a critical juncture, having completed the first half of a projected move and now setting the stage for the second half.
This view anticipates a rejection from the current resistance area on the dominance chart toward the lower level for ETH Dominance, which will likely lead to a price correction where the next bounce for ETH will form. Umair concluded that the altcoin itself could experience a short-term correction once the move unfolds before reclaiming momentum for the next leg higher.

TLDR:Strategic Pause to Align With Bitcoin GoalsEvolving Capital Strategy for Long-Term ValueGet 3 Free Stock Ebooks Metaplanet suspends stock rights exercise from Oct. 20–Nov. 17, aiming to optimize Bitcoin yield and funding strategy. The freeze affects EVO Fund’s 20th to 22nd stock acquisition rights, covering 398 million potential shares. The company says the move supports flexible capital management to boost long-term shareholder value. President Simon Gerovich affirms the firm’s focus on refining financing tools and expanding Bitcoin holdings. Metaplanet is tightening its grip on capital management while strengthening its Bitcoin position.
The Tokyo-based firm has announced a suspension of its 20th to 22nd series of stock acquisition rights, issued to EVO Fund earlier this year. The temporary freeze, starting October 20 and running for 20 trading days, marks a shift in the company’s funding tactics.
The move reflects a more focused approach toward maximizing its Bitcoin yield and long-term shareholder value. The company shared the update through an official release and a statement from its president, Simon Gerovich.
Strategic Pause to Align With Bitcoin Goals According to Metaplanet’s notice, the suspension affects all remaining unexercised stock acquisition rights issued in June 2025. These include the 20th, 21st, and 22nd series totaling hundreds of millions of shares. The exercise will remain halted through November 17, under an agreement with Evolution Japan Securities.
Metaplanet described the move as a proactive measure to “strategically manage its capital formation.”
By pausing exercises, the company aims to create room to reassess funding routes while maintaining flexibility in future financial decisions. The suspension is part of its effort to optimize capital structure as Bitcoin markets continue to evolve.
Simon Gerovich, Metaplanet’s president, stated that the company is refining its capital-raising methods to strengthen its growth foundation.
He explained that Metaplanet has developed “the ability to harness a variety of financing tools” as it continues to expand its Bitcoin holdings. His statement, shared on X, reflects the company’s ongoing focus on boosting BTC yield through disciplined management.

Metaplanet announced a suspension of the 20th to 22nd series of Moving Strike Warrants that will run from October 20 to November 17.Shares have fallen 70% from June highs, with valuation now at 1.05x NAV, the lowest since launching its bitcoin strategy.Metaplanet (MTPLF) has announced it will suspend the exercise of its 20th to 22nd series of stock acquisition rights, also known as Moving Strike Warrants, from Oct. 20 to Nov. 17. The suspension, which applies to warrants issued through a third-party allotment to Evo Fund, will pause the exercise of all remaining rights for a 20-day trading period.
What it meansMetaplanet is essentially halting, for now, the sale of common stock to fund additional bitcoin purchases. The company is doing this after a months-long collapse in its stock has left the share valuation at just barely above the value of the bitcoin on its balance sheet. Additional share sales would thus potentially be dilutive to shareholders.
Metaplanet isn't alone. Even as bitcoin has risen throughout the year and trades within sight of record highs, shares in bitcoin treasury companies — most of which were quickly formed in attempt to mimic the success of Michael Saylor's Strategy (MSTR) — have plunged.
Among them are KindlyMD (NAKA) and Strive (ASST), both of which recently closed SPAC merger deals only to see their share prices quickly lose 80% or more as investors question to need to pay any premium to the value of the bitcoin on their balance sheet.
Metaplanet, which holds 30,823 BTC and ranks as the fourth largest corporate bitcoin holder globally, said the suspension is a strategic move to manage capital formation amid evolving market conditions.
The company said will continue to maximize flexibility, strengthen its financial foundation, and support shareholder value. It also plans to continue developing new financial instruments and enhancing its capital policy.

In crypto, you often discover promising assets, regardless of market conditions. But calling a cryptocurrency a gem means there’s more to it than just its price. It’s about the foundational technology, utility, and innovative capacity of the asset too.
It is for these reasons that Agoric (BLD) has attracted the attention of many in the market. In this article, we’ll look at Agoric as a project, what technology powers it, price performance, and what its future might hold.
Agoric at a glance Agoric is a proof-of-stake blockchain focused on simplifying smart contract development using JavaScript, and making it accessible to a broader audience. The BLD token serves as Agoric’s native staking asset, which plays an important role in transaction validation, rewards, governance, and securing the network.
Agoric’s growth trajectory: What does it offer? The Agoric network offers a robust ecosystem. To understand Agoric’s growth trajectory, let’s look at what it offers.
JavaScript smart contract platform Agoric provides a platform for creating and deploying smart contracts using JavaScript. This familiar programming language opens the doors for millions of developers to explore blockchain development without a steep learning curve.

[PRESS RELEASE – San Francisco, United States / California, July 10th, 2024]
Revolutionizing Multi-Blockchain Coordination with Seamless User Interactions
Agoric, a layer 1 blockchain designed for chain abstraction, has today announced the roll-out of its Orchestration API. With this new toolset, developers can create next-gen Web3 applications that seamlessly coordinate digital assets and services across multiple blockchain ecosystems. As a result, users can now benefit from one-click interactions that can deploy their liquidity and access multiple blockchains in a uniform fashion.
With over $2 trillion in liquidity fragmented across different blockchains and their ecosystems (Ethereum, Solana, L2s, L3s, app-chains, sovereign rollups, subnets and more), users are too often left with complex, arduous experiences in Web3. Many have tried to solve this fragmentation issue by launching bridges and interoperability solutions, however, the experience is still limited due to the lack of programmability with existing solutions. Even simple use cases like paying with assets on one blockchain for services on another one require multiple user actions and signatures, leaving crypto assets trapped within isolated silos.
Orchestration changes the game for multi-chain use cases:
For users, orchestration enables real chain abstraction: experiences that cross chains have the simplicity they demand. For developers, orchestration offers cross-chain programmability thanks to a multi-block execution environment and simple JavaScript APIs to manage accounts and assets on remote chains. For the Web3 ecosystem, orchestration provides composability across protocols to unlock liquidity, regardless of the native chain. Commenting on the API launch, Dean Tribble, CEO of Agoric Systems, said: “We are excited to offer a platform that enables rich, one-click user experiences that unlock new economic opportunities across multiple chains. Currently in Web3, even simple tasks demand too many actions and too much finicky expertise by users. Agoric Orchestration brings unique technology to developers so they can bring their applications into the next generation of Web3.”
Interchain trading terminal Calypso will leverage Agoric Orchestration to launch their staking widget. With just one click, users can stake into any IBC-enabled chain from almost any starting token (ETH, SOL, etc.). Normally, this process of cross-chain staking could take the user six separate steps including multiple signatures, but with Agoric Orchestration, it’s only one action.
Commenting on the integration, John DiBernardi, Co-Founder of Calypso, said: “When it comes to executing actions across multiple blockchains, Agoric Orchestration is simply unmatched. We’ve been able to simplify time-intensive and incredibly frustrating DeFi tasks into a one-click experience that both users new to DeFi and those that are seasoned will greatly appreciate.”
Builders ready to orchestrate the multi-chain can apply for Agoric’s Early Access Program, offering personalized technical support, financial incentives, and early access to new features. Apply today at agoric.com/eap.

Cross-chain transactions today feel like international travel before budget airlines – expensive, time-consuming, and filled with unexpected complications. You might start with ETH on Ethereum, but moving it to Cosmos for staking or to Solana for trading means dealing with complex bridges, waiting through lengthy confirmations, and accepting security risks along the way.
This fragmentation isn’t just annoying, it’s holding back the entire industry. With over $2 trillion in digital assets now spread across dozens of blockchains, we’re facing a reality where our technological ambitions have outpaced our infrastructure.
The Multi-Chain Future Has a Bridge Problem The crypto ecosystem has evolved beyond single-chain dominance. Ethereum, Solana, Cosmos, Avalanche, and numerous L2s each offer unique capabilities and communities. While solutions like LayerZero and Cosmos IBC have improved connectivity, bridges remain the Achilles heel of cross-chain finance.
Consider the sobering statistics: over $2.5 billion has been stolen through bridge hacks. From Ronin’s $620 million exploit to Wormhole’s $320 million hack, bridges represent the single largest attack vector in crypto today. Why? Because most rely on centralized validators, multisigs, or external oracles that create single points of failure.
Even when bridges work as intended, the user experience is painful. Transfer USDC from Ethereum to Cosmos, and you’re looking at a 16-minute wait, enough time for market opportunities to appear and disappear. Add the liquidity fragmentation that forces users to bridge assets repeatedly, and it’s clear why cross-chain DeFi hasn’t reached its potential.
Rethinking Cross-Chain Transactions From First Principles Agoric approaches this challenge differently, having built for interoperability from day one rather than bolting it on afterward. The platform’s recently launched Orchestration API represents a fundamental shift in how cross-chain applications work.
The key innovation lies in how Agoric handles multi-step blockchain operations. Traditional smart contracts must execute within a single block, like trying to complete a complex process in one breath. Agoric’s contracts can persist across multiple blocks, responding to events and managing sequences of actions automatically.
This seemingly simple technical shift enables powerful real-world capabilities:
1. Security Through IBC, Not Bridges Agoric leverages the Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol (IBC), a thoroughly audited, trust-minimized protocol that’s moved billions in assets without a single security incident. Unlike traditional bridges that rely on centralized validators, IBC establishes direct chain-to-chain communication with security inherited from the underlying chains.
Native’s integration with Agoric’s Orchestration API streamlines Bitcoin transactions in Cosmos, removing the need for manual bridging or wrapping at the user level. Behind the scenes, Agoric Orchestration coordinates the necessary cross-chain workflows, enabling frictionless Bitcoin interactions across Cosmos applications.
2. Automated Cross-Chain Workflows Calypso’s implementation of Agoric’s Orchestration API transformed what was once a six-step staking process into a single click. For users, the complex sequence of bridging, swapping, and staking happens automatically in the background.
Fast USDC, another Agoric implementation, cut cross-chain transfer times from 16 minutes to just 2 minutes, a 90% improvement that makes DeFi opportunities accessible that would otherwise be missed during traditional bridging delays.
3. Developer-Friendly Tooling Agoric’s decision to use JavaScript for smart contracts means that 17 million developers worldwide can build cross-chain applications using a language they already know. This familiar async/await pattern is particularly powerful for orchestrating complex cross-chain operations.
Union’s integration with Agoric demonstrates this approach in action. Their implementation uses zero-knowledge cryptography for trustless bridging between chains, with Agoric handling the complex orchestration of cross-chain messages.
Real-World Applications Transforming Finance These technical capabilities translate to concrete use cases that are changing how users interact with blockchain:
Multi-Chain Lending and Borrowing Elys Network is using Agoric’s Orchestration API to create CEX-like experiences in DeFi. Users can borrow assets on one chain and repay on another without manually bridging. The platform handles LP management and derivatives trading across chains without requiring users to understand the underlying complexity.
Cross-Chain Treasury Management For DAOs managing treasury assets across multiple chains, Agoric enables automatic fund distribution without complex manual operations. Contributors can receive payments in their preferred tokens on their preferred chains through a single orchestrated transaction.
Interchain Gaming and NFTs The gaming industry particularly benefits from cross-chain asset transfers. Rather than relying on wrapped NFTs, games can use Agoric’s Orchestration API to enable smooth NFT transfers across chains, preserving ownership and utility. A sword earned on one chain can be seamlessly used in a game on another.
The Foundation Two key components make these capabilities possible:
BLD: Securing Cross-Chain Operations The BLD token is essential for securing Agoric’s proof-of-stake network, ensuring the reliability of long-running smart contracts and cross-chain transactions.
By staking BLD, validators and delegators help maintain network security and economic stability, which is particularly important for applications that require persistent execution across multiple blocks. This security model makes sure that complex processes, such as cross-chain lending, automated trading, and multi-step DeFi operations, can execute safely and predictably, even over extended timeframes.
IST: Stable Liquidity Across Chains IST (Inter Stable Token) provides a native, overcollateralized stablecoin designed specifically for cross-chain operations. Unlike bridged stablecoins that create security risks, IST offers native stability while enabling seamless movement through IBC.
The Road Ahead The multi-chain future isn’t coming, it’s already here. The question isn’t whether assets will flow between chains, but how securely and efficiently they’ll do so. Agoric’s approach of building for interoperability from the ground up, rather than adding bridges as an afterthought, positions it uniquely in this landscape.
Recent partnerships demonstrate growing ecosystem support, with over 60 builders already exploring applications through the Early Access Program. Implementations like Fast USDC are already processing millions in daily volume, proving the technology works at scale.
For developers and DeFi users looking to participate in this multi-chain ecosystem, Agoric’s documentation provides comprehensive guides to building with the Orchestration API. The future belongs to those who can make blockchain’s borders invisible by delivering on the promise of truly open, connected financial systems that just work.
Stakin, a well-known platform for staking services, has announced the termination of its operations on the Agoric blockchain. In this respect, Stakin will no more operate on the Agoric Blockchain from the 1st of October onwards. As the platform revealed in its recent social media announcement, this termination of operations is a part of its restructuring plan concerning validator services. Parallel to this announcement, Stakin has persuaded delegates to redelegate stake they own to alternative validators ahead of the deadline.
Stakin will be sunsetting operations on @agoric as of October 1, 2025.
We kindly ask all delegators to redelegate their stake before this date.
Thank you to the Agoric community for the collaboration and support over the years.
— Stakin (@StakinOfficial) August 25, 2025 Stakin Exits Agoric, Urges Delegators to Redelegate Stakes before October 1 By sunsetting its operations on the Agoric blockchain on October 1, Stakin is strategically restructuring the validator services working on diverse blockchain networks. Keeping this in view, the platform has stressed the requirement for the delegators to redelegate their respective stakes to other validators before timeout. On the other hand, if delegators remain ineffective in timely redelegation, they may no longer witness any reward generation on their stake. Hence, this could influence returns substantially.
Redelegation Failure Could Result in No Reward Generation However, as per Stakin’s announcement, irrespective of its exit, it has appreciated the Agoric community. It also thanked stakeholders based on their collaboration and trust. Now, while Stakin will no longer work on the Agoric blockchain, the delegators will need to find out the other suitable options for their stakes. Hence, failure to timely redelegate could cost them losses as the stakes in the Agoric blockchain will not produce any rewards anymore after October.

Dock.io (DOCK) is an interesting project that is trying give users control over their own digital credentials and professional achievements.
It is a decentralised exchange protocol that uses blockchain technology to create a transparent and secure credential sharing ecosystem. Think of it as a decentralised version of Linkedin that keeps control of the data entirely in the hands of the user.
Sounds interesting, but can Dock really achieve this?
In this Dock review I will give you everything that you need to know about the project including its technology, use cases and roadmap. I will also analyse the adoption potential of the DOCK tokens.
How Dock WorksSharing data on the Dock.io platform is a simple concept. Users upload whichever data they like to the platform and decide who can access that data.
They can connect with companies or applications on the platform and each of these relationships is recorded on the blockchain through a smart contract on the Ethereum blockchain. This is a critical difference from the current centralized platforms, where users can control who views their data, but cannot control the platform's access to their data.
Use cases for Dock Technology
With Dock users can share their data in a public unencrypted way so that everyone on the platform can see the data. This is data that isn’t considered sensitive by the user such as their name, education, work history, etc. It’s crucial to know that once data is published publicly it remains public forever. There is no way to remove the data from the public realm.
It is also possible for users to encrypt their data to keep it private. Data is encrypted on Dock by default. Once encrypted only the user can decrypt or grant access to an application to decrypt the data. This means user data remains fully in control of the individual user.
The data itself can have a variety of formats, and the user community will be able to choose the data formats, according to the whitepaper. Some critics have questioned how well this will work, and have suggested that standardization of the data formats will be necessary. The platform has stated with the resume and work history data formats.
The solution being used by Dock is known as data format signaling, where the application's signal which data formats they will accept. The team believes that consensus over accepted data formats can be achieved through natural market equilibrium.
The Technical Side of DockThe Dock platform is built on the Ethereum blockchain and given the network congestion already seen on Ethereum there’s no way for Dock to store and retrieve resume data and the other data it is built to hold.
So, the Dock team is using the IPLD specification, which was created to help the open-source peer-to-peer Interplanetary File System (IPFS) perform content addressable data exchange.
Features of IPLD. Images via IPLD.io
The IPFS network is similar to a torrent network, but it stores hashed files rather than torrent files. These hashed files are stored in the collection of IPFS nodes, and any time a user needs to retrieve a file they do so by calling its associated hash from the blockchain. This lowers the overhead for the blockchain since it doesn’t need to store the data, just an associated hash.
While the platform is committed to the Ethereum blockchain, for now, the team has said that they will consider creating their own native, standalone blockchain in the future if it becomes necessary.
The Dock Data Sharing ModelDock data sharing is controlled by the tokenomics model of the platform, which is pretty unique in the world of decentralization and incentivization.
The first difference is the DOCK token denomination, which the team has said should be done in fiat rather than Ethereum like most projects. In fact, the ICO was valued in USD rather than Ethereum.
User data spread across apps. Image via Dock Official Blog
The reasoning for this is to encourage price stability. It’s well known how volatile cryptocurrency prices can be and the team believes that by using fiat to denominate the DOCK token they can avoid extreme price swings.
The other difference is the way Dock creates incentives, which is focused on applications rather than users.
Dock Application IncentivesThe Dock system has created incentives for applications to share data with each other via the DOCK tokens. Basically, if an application wants to acquire data from another application it needs to pay for that data.
This system also prevents applications from hoarding data because the sharing of data is involuntary. There is no way for an application to prevent another application from paying for its data. Only the user can create rules that prevent data from being shared. In this way, Dock prevents data hoarding from occurring on the platform.
Dock User IncentivesUnlike nearly every other decentralized platform with tokens, the Dock platform does not incentivize users to share their data. This was done intentionally and deliberately. The Dock team wants people to come to the realization that their data is far more valuable than they believe, and that any amount paid for their personal data isn’t enough. Instead, they want users to value their data for its own sake.
There’s another reason not to incentivize users for providing data, and that’s to avoid a flood of people spamming the platform with false information simply to collect rewards. Dock realizes this would be the fastest way to kill the platform, and they are avoiding it in any way possible.

Moreover, the lack of incentives actually makes things clearer for users, who won’t have to worry about keeping up with micro-transactions and payments. All they have to focus on is making sure that their personal information is up to date.
Rather than offering small payments for valuable data, Dock is giving users complete control over their data and convenience. By keeping data all in one place users are easily able to control who can access their data, and they can maintain the data without having to go through the trouble of remembering all the different sites that have a profile for them. This keeps data always updated across the web and avoids scenarios where people are seeing data that are no longer up-to-date.
Dock Team & InvestorsThe Dock team consists of 16 members who are located across the globe, although the project is headquartered in San Francisco, California. The core team has worked on projects together in the past, with many coming from Remote.com.
The CEO and co-founder of the project is Nick Macario, who came to Dock with more than 10 years of experience in web and mobile application marketing. Most recently he was the co-founder and CEO of Remote.com.
Some members of the Dock. Team
The other co-founder and COO of the project is Elina Cadouri, who was also a co-founder and CEO for Outsource.com. She has over 8 years of experience in marketing research.
Dock has also received investments from a number of traditional and blockchain focused venture capital funds. These include the likes of Passport Capital, the Digital Asset Fund, Blockwater Capital and Connect capital among others.
When it comes to increasing adoption and awareness for a project, a large and enthusiastic community is essential. This is especially the case with Dock where the ecosystem relies on these users sharing their data.
Dock has a fairly large following on social media, which is typically a good sign for a blockchain project. Their Telegram group has almost 25,000 members, and their Twitter has 45,800 followers. They are even well represented on Facebook, with nearly 35,000 followers.
One disconnect is the project’s subreddit. While they have over 15,000 followers, there is almost no interaction. The Dock team is pretty much the only ones posting there, and the postings have very few and often no comments.
The DOCK TokenDock held their ICO in February 2018 and sold 30% of the 1 billion total supply for $0.08329 each, raising $20 million. The tokens weren’t released until April 2018 and soon after the DOCK token hit an all-time high of $0.242743 on May 4, 2018.
From there the bear market took over and the token sank throughout the rest of 2018, finally reaching a bottom on January 10, 2019, when the token hit $0.007543. It subsequently made it as high as 0.020441 in April 2019, but as of May 13, 2019, it has dropped back to $0.011445 and is roughly 90% off its ICO price.
Register at Binance and Buy DOCK Tokens
The DOCK token isn’t listed on too many exchanges, but it is on Binance and that’s where nearly all the trading in the token takes place. There’s also a tiny amount of trading on Huobi Global, KuCoin, and Gate.io.
This could create an issue from an exchange reliance perspective. Given that most of the BTC volume of DOCK is being traded on Binance, liquidity could fall off a cliff if there was ever a de-listing. While this is not likely, it is a concern that potential traders have to consider.
Once you have bought your DOCK, you are going to want to get it off the exchange if you intend on hodling them. Because DOCK is an ERC-20 token it can be kept in any ERC-20 compatible wallet, such as MetaMask or MyEtherWallet.
Dock Development & RoadmapDetermining exactly how much work is being done on a blockchain project is sometimes tricky. However, one of the quickest methods to estimate this is to take a look at the coding activity in their public code repositories.
Hence, I decided to jump into the public GitHub for Dock.io and see how many code commits the developers were pushing through. There are 12 repos in total in their GitHub but below are the commits for two of their most active.
GitHub Commits in the past 12 months
As you can see, there is not that much activity in these repos. The last public commit to their plasma Cash repo was back in February. The rest of the 12 remaining repos are similarly barren.
Of course, there is always the possibility that the developers are coding on the project in private repos. Yet this is less than optimal from a transparency perspective as their community is not able to monitor the progress of the project.
Having said this, the team is keeping the community up to date with developments through their official blog. They release monthly updates with a breakdown of what was achieved by the team over the past month.
For example, in their April update they went over some work that they have done on their wallet as well as progress that has been made on the platform. They also gave an outline of what we could expect in the coming months.
There was no timeline given for these updates so it will be interesting to see how long it takes before the next big technology roll-out.
ConclusionDock has an impressive long-term vision for the shape of the user data economy that’s going to grow exponentially now that blockchain technology has become available. The success or failure of the platform is going to depend on how quickly it can attract major partners and how quickly it can grow.
On the growth front, the platform already claims over 1 million registered users in just over a year, which is pretty impressive when you consider users don’t receive any incentive for sharing data.
Obviously the slow rate of development in the project's GitHub could be an area for concern. Hence, we will be keeping an eager eye on project announcements and code commits to their repos over the coming months.
We’ve also talked about the risks associated with the lack of standardization in data formats. This could also hinder growth for Dock, although the team believes that as the user base grows the data format issue will take care of itself through natural market equilibrium. If this doesn’t occur users could leave the platform due to a lack of convenience.
And of course, when discussing personal privacy issues there is always related regulatory risks. In the European Union, we already have the GPDR, which is the strictest data protection regulation so far. It’s possible other countries could follow the lead of the EU.
Dock has said its platform fully complies with the principles of GPDR, but that isn’t legally binding and regulators could take issue with the platform as it grows in size and influence.
The University of Arkansas at Little Rock has recently declared integration of the Reusable Digital ID forum of Dock. As per the announcement, the company is using “Certs” via the Emerging Threat Information Sharing and Analysis Center of the US Department of Energy. This collaboration will potentially empower several DeFi entities to secretly report cybersecurity threats.

— Dock Labs (@dock_labs) March 6, 2024 The University of Arkansas Integrates Dock’s Certs to Innovate DeFi Threat Reporting While doing so, the respective organizations will require any compromise on their identity. The use of Dock will permit the University to securely validate each reporting firm while sustaining stringent anonymity. Additionally, this will foster a trustworthy environment for the distribution of crucial threat intelligence. Moreover, this will enhance mutual cyber defense abilities.
In cybersecurity, several companies are hesitant to report events such as ransomware attacks. They have many apprehensions regarding reputational damage as well as likely legal repercussions. Nonetheless, in-time reporting is important as it lets other community members provide a proactive response to the latest threats. The use of the Reusable Digital ID technology of Dock by UA Little Rock in the Security Incident Sharing Platform recognizes this.
The integration allows numerous entities within the threat-reporting community of the University to report events while they remain anonymous. This would likely mitigate concerns of harm regarding reputation as well as legal risks. To boost the confidence of the organizations to take part in this process, the University is making several endeavors.
It is issuing confirmable digital ID permits to authorized community members. The respective credentials are extraordinary and recipients can fortify them with cutting-edge cryptography. This would make them tamper-proof along with equipping them with Zero-Knowledge Proof abilities. Dock’s CEO “Nick Lambert,” said this reinforces the privacy and security of the reporting procedure.

Binance, one of the world’s largest crypto exchanges, has declared the delisting of nine altcoin’s spot trading pairs.
This action, set to take effect on August 23 at 03:00 UTC, reflects Binance’s attempts to enhance market quality.
What Binance Users Need To Do?Binance assesses the performance of its listed trading pairs and removes those that do not meet liquidity and volume thresholds. The exchange claims these measures protect users and uphold a high-quality trading environment.

The pairs to be removed include:
ARKM/TUSD CHZ/EUR ENA/EUR FIRO/BTC IOTA/FDUSD JOE/TRY OMNI/BNB REZ/BNB SUPER/FDUSD Although this delisting affects specific trading channels, it does not eliminate the individual tokens from the platform.
“Users can still trade the spot trading pair’s base and quote assets on other trading pair(s) that are available on Binance,” the crypto exchange explained.
Therefore, users with an interest in these pairs should revise their trading strategies accordingly. Importantly, the exchange will also terminate spot trading bot services for these pairs at the same time. Binance advises traders to either cancel or update their automated trades to avoid potential financial losses.
Notably, this round of delisting has not immediately influenced the market prices of the involved tokens. This stability likely stems from their continued availability in other trading pairs on Binance, which helps cushion any negative impacts.
However, the history of token delistings on Binance suggests potential volatility. For instance, Binance’s removal of six altcoins last week led to substantial price drops for those cryptocurrencies. Notably, PowerPool (CVP) and Ellipsis (EPX) saw declines of 14% and 22% immediately after their removal was announced.

This trend continued from last month when tokens such as Dock (DOCK) and Mdex (MDX) experienced sharp falls, nearly 30%, and 23.65%, following their delisting. These incidents shed light on the impact of exchange listings or delisting on an altcoin’s valuation.
In an effort to hasten the adoption of Decentralised Identity (DID) solutions, cheqd and Dock have announced their partnership. This involves migrating Dock Certs and its clientbase to the cheqd network. In order to speed digital identity globally, the $DOCK tokens will be merged into $CHEQ tokens, keeping cheqd and Dock as independent entities.
Dock specializes on assisting Identity Solutions Providers, including KYC, background check, and biometrics firms, to develop ID ecosystems where their partners may generate, share, and monetize verifiable digital credentials. Businesses may expedite client onboarding, increase transaction speeds, and improve overall company efficiency by establishing an ID ecosystem. With a reliable API, a user-friendly web application, and secure ID wallet architecture, Dock provides a comprehensive solution. More than 600 businesses have set up accounts on Dock Certs, their Decentralized ID platform.
Concurrently, Cheqd has developed commercial infrastructure and trust that is enterprise-ready, allowing businesses to create trusted data markets and end-to-end credential ecosystems. People are able to own, manage, and monetize their data in a way that protects their privacy and is portable. More than 200 organizations have established themselves on its mainnet, and over 80,000 addresses have been generated. Cheqd aims to tackle the economic and technological obstacles that have hindered the expansion of digital credentials. Its emphasis on interoperability, regulatory compliance, simplicity of integration, and privacy-preserving credential payments builds a solid infrastructure that can grow across sectors.
Upon integrating the well-established ecosystems of Dock and Cheqd, a robust network including more than 100,000 community members and hundreds of engaged partners will be created. This partnership will provide a scalable, cutting-edge solution appropriate for both conventional and Web3 industries such as banking, identity solution providers, government services, and more by fusing Dock’s flexible SaaS platform with cheqd’s reliable payment infrastructure.
The mainnet and testnet traffic of Dock will be migrated to the cheqd network as a result of the collaboration between the two decentralized ID experts. Additionally, in order to create a single asset for powering the single decentralized network, the $DOCK token will be converted into $CHEQ tokens.
Fraser Edwards, Co-founder and CEO at cheqd stated:
“Dock and cheqd partnering establishes the most feature-complete software stack for decentralised ID (DID) encapsulating no-code management and privacy preserving payments for verifiable credential. This alliance is a clear signal that cheqd is the home for DID with Dock and their clients joining our ecosystem of partners and clients, as well as the merging of two communities who firmly believe in the vision of DID.”
Nick Lambert, Co-founder and CEO of Dock Labs stated:
“This exciting partnership enables Dock to focus on new and innovative features for our clients delivered through our issuance and verification platform, Certs, while relying on cheqd’s cutting edge network for the blockchain related elements. This alliance enables both organisations to demonstrate their core capabilities, providing best in class solutions to our rapidly growing customer bases.”
The decentralized identity market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 90% over the next five years, turning it into a multibillion dollar sector. Enforcing the eIDAS standards pertaining to the verification of individuals, corporations, and electronic documents presents a chance for decentralized solutions that may meet the requirements of both businesses and regulators.
Wide-ranging application development and integration opportunities will be made possible by the joint network developed by Cheqd and Dock, which will support a large number of Decentralised Identifiers (DIDs). It will also feature multi-SDK integration and open-source tooling such as DIF Registrar & resolver, Credo, Veramo, Walt.id, and Vidos (Mailchain). Both parties will continue to be compliant with eIDAS 2.0 and the EU Digital Identity Framework.
Fraser Edwards, the co-founder and CEO of Cheqd, has extensive experience leading teams and managing self-sovereign identities. He gained this expertise while leading the World Economic Forum’s Known Traveller Digital Identity project, which included the governments of Canada and the Netherlands as stakeholders. He is the owner of cross-ledger payment patents and designed the Jasper-Ubin project’s payment architecture in collaboration with the central banks of Canada and Singapore. Ankur Banerjee is a co-founder and CTO with experience in digital identification, biometrics, and distributed tech architecture. He co-chairs the decentralized Identity Foundation’s Technical Steering Committee and co-chairs several blockchain and cloud AI patents. Co-founder and CFO Javed Khattak contributes a plethora of technical, strategic, and financial know-how. His experience includes advising governments, central banks, and international brands in addition to managing multibillion dollar funds.
COO Elina Cadouri, who formerly developed and oversaw Outsource.com, which grew to generate several million dollars in revenue annually, and Remote.com, one of the fastest-growing remote work platforms globally, complements Dock CEO Nick Lambert’s vast expertise in the blockchain industry. Richard Esplin, Dock’s Head of Product, has dedicated his career developing open source and digital identities, as well as consulting with government agencies and major corporations on procurement, solution design, and process automation.
Both organizations have established a substantial clientele in the digital ID and verification field since their founding. Cheqd has strategic collaborations across sectors and use cases, such as reusable KYC, with companies like DanubeTech, Finclusive, and Northern Block internationally. With its extensive features, Dock will continue to propel the cheqd blockchain’s real-world adoption among the world’s biggest ID firms. Aliva, University of Arkansas at Little Rock, Classter, Gravity, BurstIQ, and several more significant ID verification firms are among Dock’s clientele, with many more to follow. The respective clientele of Dock and Cheqd together constitute a significant asset that will be used to further their objective of mainstreaming DID-based identity management.
Through their partnership, cheqd and Dock will provide builders and end users with access to their newest products, which will include cheqd’s soon-to-be MiCA compliant stablecoin and fee abstraction technology as well as Dock’s soon-to-be cloud wallet and mobile drivers’ licenses (mDLs). Both businesses are striving to integrate extra regulatory frameworks while facilitating compliance with the EU Digital Identity Framework and eIDAS 2.0.
Key NotesTwo blockchain platforms Cheqd and Dock partners to form a strategic alliance to drive global adoption of decentralized identity (DID) solutions worldwide.To achieve this goal, both protocols plans to combine their infrastructures and resources together while maintaining independent operations.Their native tokens DOCK and CHEQ will merge together to create a unified digital asset known as CHEQ to power all activities on the joint developed network. . Web3 data platform cheqd, which specializes in building trusted payment infrastructure for Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) and digital credential businesses, has entered into a strategic partnership with Dock, another blockchain platform to form a strategic alliance.
According to a press release issued on Wednesday, September 18, the collaboration aims to boost the global adoption of Decentralized Identity (DID) solutions.
Token Unification to Power Joint Network As part of the partnership, Dock will migrate its infrastructure, including Dock Certs and its client base, to the cheqd network to build a single protocol.
Despite the integration, both platforms will continue to operate independently, with only Dock’s native token, DOCK, merging with cheqd’s CHEQ to create a unified digital asset.
cheqd announced that the token unification is intended to speed up the adoption of DID solutions. The merged CHEQ will become the utility token that powers all activity on the joint cheqd-Dock network.
cheqd revealed that the collaboration will bring significant growth to both platforms, with the formation of a powerful community of over 100,000 members and hundreds of active partners working together.
According to the release, the partnership is expected to deliver scalable solutions across industries ranging from finance and identity providers to government services, benefiting both traditional and Web3 sectors.
The joint network will support a variety of Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) and offer multi-SDK integration, along with open-source tools like DIF Registrar & Resolver, Credo, Veramo, Walt.id, and Vidos (Mailchain). These resources will allow developers to explore wide-ranging integration possibilities and build decentralized applications.
Both networks plan to remain committed to adhering to international regulatory frameworks, such as the European Digital Identity Framework as well as the eIDAS 2.0, to ensure full compliance across their platforms.
A Combined Effort to Drive DID Growth cheqd disclosed in the press release that the primary purpose of forming the new alliance with Dock is solely to promote the adoption of decentralized identity solutions. Both platforms plan to combine resources to ensure that the blockchain data protection sector is widely accepted and trusted by users globally.
The Web3 data platform will bring its expertise in developing end-to-end credential ecosystems and trusted data markets, while Dock will concentrate on enabling identity solution providers, such as KYC, background check, and biometric companies, to create and monetize verifiable digital credentials.
Individually, both platforms have seen strong growth, and together, they plan to become a driving force in the global adoption of digital verification solutions.
Strengthening the Digital Verification Ecosystem
cheqd’s Web3 platform already supports over 80,000 individual wallet addresses, enabling users to take full control of their personal data. More than 200 organizations have also integrated its solutions into their businesses, attracted by the platform’s focus on privacy-preserving credential payments, regulatory compliance, and ease of integration.
Dock, on the other hand, offers a comprehensive decentralized identity solution with a robust API, intuitive web application, and secure ID wallet infrastructure. So far, Dock Certs has attracted over 600 companies, which are utilizing its decentralized ID capabilities.
The partnership is led by experienced teams from both platforms. cheqd CEO and Co-Founder, Fraser Edwards, has extensive knowledge in self-sovereign identity and led the Known Traveller Digital Identity initiative with the World Economic Forum.
Meanwhile, Dock CEO, Nick Lambert, and COO, Elina Cadouri, bring significant blockchain and entrepreneurial expertise to the table, with Cadouri having built successful platforms like Outsource.comand Remote.com.

On June 5, BlackRock did nothing. Not a single dollar, not a move, not even a shiver. Its Bitcoin ETF IBIT, until now a powerhouse of incoming capital, remained frozen. And this is no coincidence. In a market where stillness is often more worrying than panic, this inaction is worth much more than a simple zero figure. While others bleed, BlackRock stops. And in this gesture, there may be more strategy than stupor.
".' data-lazy-src="https://www.cointribune.com/app/uploads/2025/06/Black-Dollar-0-1024x683.png"> In brief BlackRock records $0 flow on its Bitcoin ETF IBIT, a first since its launch. Other Bitcoin ETFs suffer massive outflows, totaling $278 million in one day. This sudden freeze suggests a strategic pause or a possible discreet change of course. The king remains seated while others fall On this June 5, a muted carnage played out on the Bitcoin ETFs stage. Fidelity, Ark, Grayscale… all retreating, all taking heavy losses. In total, nearly $280 million fled American Bitcoin funds in a single day. The atmosphere was electric, volatility palpable. Yet, at the center of this turmoil, IBIT remains impassive. Zero inflow, zero outflow. An almost insolent neutrality.
Why? Because when you are the king, you can afford silence. Or… because you’re unsure.
BlackRock did not lose. But it did not win either. And this choice of immobility contrasts with its reputation as a steamroller. Is this a voluntary pause or a lapse in conviction?
There is something theatrical about this non-movement. Because IBIT is not like other ETFs. It is the thermometer of institutional flows, the cornerstone of a carefully maintained bullish narrative.
So when this flow suddenly dries up, it looks less like an oversight and more like a statement. BlackRock may be sending a message here more subtle than a massive sell-off: “We observe. We gauge. Then we reconsider.”
Especially since, in the same breath, the giant injects $50 million into Ethereum. A discreet, almost stealthy pivot, but heavy with symbolism. Is Bitcoin becoming too unstable, too predictable, too… political? Or are we witnessing the first phase of a gradual shift towards a new distribution of forces among crypto assets?
Bitcoin: Waiting as a strategy? This is not the first time markets have experienced a sluggish day. But rarely has the absence of action seemed so meaningful. BlackRock doesn’t stop by accident. And when all the other players panic, the one who stops could be either a wise one… or a conspirator.
Bitcoin itself continues to sway. Doubt sets in. Outflows accelerate. And the one who doesn’t move suddenly becomes the focus of all projections.
June 5 was not an empty day. It was a choreographed pause. And sometimes, the best-placed silences change the rhythm of a war—just like those solo miners, stubborn and invisible, who dig for years without reward… then hit the jackpot, hire en masse, and reshuffle the cards of a sector thought to be locked.

Subsquid, the leading decentralized data lake provider, has recently introduced support for Prom to the platform. This is a major breakthrough in the smooth accessibility of on-chain information for developers wishing to apply it in their projects. The Subsquid SDK now supports Prom usage. It makes it easier for developers working within the Prom ecosystem to access all the data they require from one location.
Prom Bridges Blockchain Ecosystems for Seamless Integration Prom, a modular ZkEVM Layer 2 solution, further distinguishes itself as an interoperability facilitator across chains. In contrast, the current platforms that require developers to target one chain or virtual machine. In addition to this, Prom eliminates these barriers with a genuinely multichain solution. It bridges blockchain ecosystems and enables projects to integrate and communicate across chains.
The most notable feature of Prom is this multichain interoperability chains. These are EVM-compatible chains like *ETH* Virtual Machine and those that are not like Bitcoin or *SOL* can communicate without issues. Multichain function guarantees that projects remain relevant to users in the ever-changing blockchain environment.
By including it in the Subsquid ecosystem, Prom has shown its readiness to eliminate storage of chains for a great cloud. The cooperation with the Prom team will ensure web3 adoption following Subsquid’s mission of improving accessibility. With this, Subsquid has established a multichain connection. It facilitates the access to a multiple-data source blockchain network.
Prom and Subsquid Aim to Streamline Decentralized App Development Ethereum used to be the primary blockchain by users. However, more networks such as Solana and *BTC* have become more active. Due to active newly growing chains, Subsquid through Prom collaboration can help in the growth of new ecosystems. The integration process ensures that developers have the best experience and flexibility. As a result, it will simplify how decentralized apps are produced and linked.
Lastly, the announcement of Subsquid that it will support the Prom platform to diversify chains confidentially displays that the organization wants to encourage more use of chains. Subsquid wishes to assist this technology initiative by working collaboratively with Prom. The two organizations’ action plan will help establish a more connected-blockchain future. Consequently, app developers will make linked apps on this due to the simple Prom connection.

Zero-knowledge (ZK) rollups have grown in popularity as scaling solutions for the Web3 ecosystem since the pioneer ZK-oriented payment solution, zkSync, was launched in June 2020. Today, there’s over $4.5 billion locked across various ZK rollups, but even more intriguing, we have zkEVM Layer 2 chains such as Prom that have gone beyond scaling the Ethereum ecosystem alone.Privacy Security Simplicity and Compatibility
So, why are ZK rollups gaining traction in the DeFi realm? Of course, the primary reason for the adoption of this type of infrastructure in DApp building is the value proposition in solving Ethereum’s scalability issue. But there’s more to it; while ZK rollups do not enjoy as much liquidity as optimistic rollups, their technical design is more focused on privacy, a feature that most Web3 users seek.
ZK Vs Optimistic Rollups At the core, both types of rollups are designed to reduce the workload on Ethereum’s blockchain by performing transaction execution off-chain and then submitting the data as a batch on-chain. This makes the Ethereum blockchain more scalable, as several transactions can be submitted in a single batch as opposed to relying solely on Ethereum nodes, which have to process every transaction sequentially.
The difference, however, lies in the approach by which off-chain transactions are verified and added to Ethereum’s main network.
In optimistic rollups, all transactions submitted on the Layer 2 chain are assumed to be valid unless challenged and proven to be false through fraud proofs. ZK rollups, on the other hand, rely on ZK proofs (ZKP) to prove the validity of all transactions submitted on the L2.
While both approaches have their own advantages and disadvantages, several aspects stand out. For example, the transaction finality on optimistic rollups could take up to 7 days, which is the challenge period for submitted transactions. This is not the case for ZK rollups, which have instant transaction finality as all transactions have to go through a ZKP validity proof at the time of submission.
Below are a few other comparison factors:
PrivacyWhen it comes to privacy, ZK rollups are more secret; this is because ZKP cryptography allows several parties to prove the validity of a statement without necessarily revealing what is encoded within the statement itself.
This means that if party A were to send funds to party B through a ZK rollup chain, the only information that needs to be verified is that party A submitted a transfer transaction on the blockchain and party B is the recipient. Anything more, such as the amount of funds transferred, remains concealed.
As for optimistic rollups, all the data is broadcasted on-chain for fraud-proof verification by actors (verifiers) who may deem the information invalid, which means no privacy for the transacting parties.
SecurityNaturally, ZK rollups are considered to be more secure than their optimistic counterparts. This is because every transaction in a ZK rollup is verified through ZKP validity proofs before being submitted to the main Layer 1 chain.
However, with optimistic rollups, only transactions that are disputed are subjected to fraud proofs. This means that there is a higher likelihood of fraudulent transactions passing off as valid executions if no one disputes them within the 7-day window before a transaction is finalized.
Simplicity and CompatibilityAs for ease of use, optimistic rollups carry the day. ZK rollups are more technical and not as compatible with multiple smart contract operations in comparison to optimistic rollups. This explains why there’s more liquidity locked across optimistic rollups ($31.6 billion), coupled with the fact that the top four leading rollup ecosystems are all optimistic. Arbitrum One leads the pack, followed by Base, OP Mainnet, and Blast.
zkEVM Rollups Are Gaining Traction Despite their complexity which has been a major hindrance to mass adoption, it is arguable that ZK rollups will soon give optimistic rollups a run for their money. This was Vitalik Buterin’s prediction at the ETH Seoul Event in 2022 where he emphasized that ZK rollups will win in the long run, mainly because of their transaction finality compared to optimistic 7-day window.
It is also interesting to observe that at the time there were no fundamental developments in ZK rollups beyond the Ethereum blockchain.
“At the moment, ZK technology is complicated to build. There's a lot of mental challenge, especially in doing all this safely and ensuring it's all correct. We have actually started to see zkEVM implementations that are almost ready to scale with Ethereum transactions; that is amazing,” - noted Vitalik.
Fast forward to 2024, modular zkEVM Layer 2’s like Prom have already launched their testnet, hitting 100,000 active wallets within two weeks. This zkEVMrollup is powered by Polygon and leverages the Zero-Knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Argument of Knowledge (zkSNARKs) technology, which reduces Web3 transaction costs significantly.
Other EVM-compatible rollups such as Consensys' Linea are also making headlines in the DeFi sector. This rollup’s mainnet was launched in August 2023, but within a few months, it has grown to a TVL of over $1.1 billion, touting a 30-day transaction count of 17.69 million.
These two examples are just a glimpse of the developments currently taking place in the ZK rollup space, but what’s more intriguing is the fact that innovators are no longer limiting themselves to scaling the Ethereum blockchain. zkEVM chains are becoming more and more popular by the day, a signal that the foundational principles of ZK rollups — privacy and security — are set to transform a larger part of the Web3 ecosystem.
Prom, a zkEVM modular L2 linking Non-EVM and EVM worlds via interoperability, has recently experienced a stress test. In line with the statistics that Prom provided, the recent rigorous stress test of Prom appears as a resilient part of the platform’s Testnet V2, with the results signifying that the system thereof is resilient along with the capability to tackle substantial loads with no performance issues.

— Prom (@prom_io) September 14, 2024 Prom’s Latest Stress Test Sees it Tackling 500,000, Denoting the platform’s capability and resilience According to Prom, the stress test targeted simulating real-world conditions. In this respect, it generated a significant transaction volume over a sustained time. The network of Prom reportedly maintained a remarkable average load equaling 100,000 daily transfers. Hence, it reached a cumulative amount of nearly 500,000 transfers since Testnet V2’s launch. This development highlights the preparedness and scalability for more growth.
At present, the platform is getting ready for the mainnet deployment thereof. One of the chief challenges during the respective test took into account the read requests for Remote Procedure Calls. These are important for Automated Market Maker’s smooth functioning. Such read requests appear computationally heavy. Even then, the network efficiency tackled them without performance degradation, signifying stability and efficiency.
The successful stress test proves the network’s resilience but additionally underlines the significance of the participation of the community in the development procedure. With this community engagement, Prom guarantees that the network is ready to deal with real-world utility and can back the heightening demand for dApps.

In This Article What is PROM? And What Makes Prom Crypto Stand Out?PROM Price Analysis: How Is PROM Crypto Shaping Up Amid Market Dip?Pepe Unchained Up +46%: Which is a Better Investment?One New Memecoin That Will Outperform Prom Crypto With its main net now live, Prom Crypto (PROM) has established itself as a Polygon SDK-powered contender in the blockchain space.
Backed by a testnet tally of 25 million transactions and input from 2 million wallets, it’s betting on zero-knowledge proof technology to redefine how dApps scale and operate. The launch signals more than hype—this is a play to disrupt.
What is PROM? And What Makes Prom Crypto Stand Out? For a tech built on change, most blockchains struggle with scaling, network clogs, and vulnerabilities. Prom’s ZK-driven system slices through the nonsense, offering speed, security, and affordability in one neat package. The industry’s pain points might finally have met their match.
Unlike many networks, which shy away from adopting ZK proofs due to their technical complexity, Prom integrates this technology seamlessly. It ensures faster interactions and higher flexibility for developers, empowering them to create diverse dApps with little friction.
Prom Mainnet is Here
We’re officially opening a new chapter after an extensive testnet campaign and welcome everyone on board. Prom operations are powered by Polygon CDK, a competitive framework for building zk-based networks.

The network’s launch is backed by tech collaborations with industry heavyweights like Polygon, DWF Labs, and Ankr, reflecting its commitment to delivering performance and security at the highest level.
PROM Price Analysis: How Is PROM Crypto Shaping Up Amid Market Dip? At the heart of the Prom ecosystem lies its native token, $PROM. Listed on top-tier exchanges like Binance, HTX, KuCoin, and Gate.io, $PROM enables fast, low-cost on-chain interactions while serving as a governance token for the Prom DAO.
Through this decentralized governance model, the Prom community actively shapes the network’s future. Token holders also benefit directly from a share in the network fees, fostering a mutually beneficial ecosystem. For developers, Prom offers a grant-based system to ease the challenges of building scalable dApps.
(PROMUSDT) Prom’s price has hit a consolidation zone following a strong upward streak. The technical landscape ahead could hold some telling signals for what’s next:
Support: Immediate support is around $7.25, aligning with the 200-day SMA. Resistance: Resistance is $8.00; a breakout above this could indicate the next leg up. A golden cross, where the 20-day SMA crossed above the 200-day SMA, adds to the longer-term bullish outlook. This technical setup suggests a cautious yet optimistic scenario for $PROM. A successful breakout above $8.00 would reinstate bullish momentum, while the $7.25 support remains a critical level to hold.
Pepe Unchained Up +46%: Which is a Better Investment? Meanwhile, PEPE’s price action has smashed through a falling channel, breaking out with two bullish engulfing candles. Trading at $0.01509, PEPE’s chart boasts a 44.8% weekly rise.
(PepeUnchained) Pepe’s enthusiasm is at an all-time high with a relatively new listing on Coinbase and Robinhood.
Weekly chart indicators, including MACD and signal lines, show a supportive crossover, suggesting an upside surge.

Decentralized science (DeSci), a movement to create public and permissionless infrastructure using blockchain technology for scientific research, is picking up steam.
According to Google Trends, which gives a value of 100 for peak popularity, worldwide interest in the term “decentralized science” was at zero for most of 2024 and has since increased to over 51 as of Nov. 17. Similarly, artificial intelligence platform Kaito signals rising mindshare in DeSci as shown by the whole category jumping 54% in the last 24 hours to a market cap of $1.3 billion, per CoinGecko.
The climb in attention toward decentralized science comes roughly one week since Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao attended a sub-event of Ethereum conference DevCon in Thailand dedicated to DeSci.

While biotechnology companies typically own their own IP, firms participating in DeSci are crowdfunding capital for their experiments in exchange for token holders having some rights to the intellectual property.
By using blockchain technology to remove centralized intermediaries, the goal of DeSci is to increase access to scientific data, enhance transparency in the peer-review process, and motivate global coordination between scientists and researchers, according to a March blog post from Binance Academy.
VitaDAO on Ethereum On Monday, VITA – Ethereum-based governance token for VitaDAO, a life expectancy-focused DeSci project – reached an all-time high in price of $6.34 and market cap of roughly $160.8 million representing a climb of more than 39% in the last 24 hours and nearly 210% in the past seven days, data from CoinGecko shows.
Emerging in 2021, VitaDAO, which aims to enable people to fund and participate in early-stage scientific projects through crypto rails, has a $53.8 million treasury.
Two notable tokens emerging from the VitaDAO ecosystem centered around age-related diseases are VitaFAST and VitaRNA, both of which have jumped 289% and 123%, respectively, in the past seven days. From a technical level, VitaFAST and VitaRNA are intellectual property tokens, which “help accelerate research by aligning incentives around a community of stakeholders that have an opportunity to govern IP and contribute to research itself,” wrote biotech firm Molecule in an X post on Oct. 22.

Ethereum’s Buterin has also argued that the battle for longevity is worth fighting for. In his 2021 appearance on computer scientist Lex Fridman’s podcast, Buterin said, “I hope to see the concept of seeing your parents and grandparents die just slowly disappear from the public consciousness as an experience that happens over the course of half of a century, the same way that getting lost in a city slowly disappeared.”
Pump Science on Solana Meanwhile, RIF, a token associated with gamified longevity research platform Pump Science, has jumped 111% in a 24-hour span and 192,588% over the previous seven days, giving the cryptocurrency a market cap of $227.2 million, per trading analytics platform DexTools.
Pump Science, a protocol that aims to finance, research, and develop chemicals that increase the time a person and an organism can live with both physical and cognitive functions, is a spin on the highly successful Solana-native memecoin incubator Pump.Fun.
“The way that [Pump Science] works is when a market cap on any of these compounds… crosses $10,000 on Pump.Fun, then the experiment data is deployed live on Pump Science,” said Paul Kohlhaas, the founder and CEO of Molecule, the firm behind Pump Science, in a speech at Solana Breakpoint in Singapore.
The ticker RIF is based on the compound antibiotic Rifampicin, which is typically used to treat bacterial infections, the compound’s Wikipedia page states. At presstime, rifampicin is the focus of an experiment that live-streamed on Pump Science to gauge whether the antibiotic can prevent aging in flies. The token RIF is a tokenized representation of the science experiment being conducted with the hypothesis that rifampicin aids with longevity.

RIF is one of two tokens currently on Pump Science with the other being URO, short for Urolithin A, which has a market cap of $112 million, growing 228% in the past day and 132,503% over seven days. According to Pump Science’s documents, the experiments “are tested in worms (C elegans) at Ora Biomedical on the Wormbot, or in flies at Tracked Biotechnologies in the FlyBox.” Per Kohlhaas, the average cost to run an experiment with worms is $300. Ora Biomedial is a private company that develops small molecule therapeutics, while Tracked Biotechnologies is a private firm that uses artificial intelligence in its phenotyping system.
Wormbot is an automated robotics platform that can screen the health and survival of up to 144 populations of worms. FlyBox is a system used to test compounds and drugs on drosophila melanogaster, commonly known as the fruit fly.

With the new year just one day away, crypto analyst Alex Wacy (@wacy_time1) shared an overview of what he calls the best altcoins heading into 2025. The analyst, who has amassed an audience of over 190,000 followers on X, highlighted several projects that he believes have the potential to dominate in the potential coming altseason.
Best Altcoins In 2025 He begins with Render (RNDR), describing it as a decentralized GPU rendering platform for AI, metaverse, and creative content. He maintained that “Render is poised to become a key player in the virtual future,” pointing to its $3.66 billion market capitalization as evidence of investor confidence.
Following closely is Virtual, an AI-driven avatar initiative that is pegged at $3.41 billion in market cap, with Wacy touting Virtual as “the growth leader in 2024 in the virtual avatar sector” and predicting increasing adoption for metaverse, gaming, and social media applications.
Wacy also turns his attention to SEKOIA, mentioning its focus on identifying and mentoring emerging AI talent. Although smaller in scale at a $94 million market cap, this autonomous AI investment agent uses advanced pattern recognition and quantifiable predictions to gain a foothold in a competitive space.
Next in line for the best altcoins in 2025 is Pengu, which he calls “the official coin of Paddy Penguin, a major force in crypto.” Its substantial community and cultural traction reflect a hefty $2.28 billion market valuation, and its omnipresence in ETF ads combined with over 90 billion visits appear to confirm its cult-like following.
The list of best altcoins continues with Clearpool (CPOOL), a Decentralized Capital Markets Ecosystem valued at $341 million that provides insured loans to institutional borrowers in the DeFi arena through a dynamic interest model. The analyst noted that Clearpool’s approach to decentralized lending could offer a unique avenue for strategic investors.
He also spotlights Bittensor (Tao), a project intent on decentralizing AI solutions through an open ecosystem, weighed at $3.48 billion, and Hyperliquid (HYPE), a decentralized perpetuals exchange living on its own L1 with a $9.23 market cap. He describes Hype’s vision as “a high-speed, low-cost, transparent solution for perpetual futures,” though he advises caution, remarking that prospective investors should “research to understand its risks and potential.”
Io.net, which sits at $397 million, is categorized as a decentralized GPU network that reduces costs for AI developers, while CFG (Centric) aims to bridge DeFi with real-world assets. This $162 million project focuses on stable returns generated from real fiat value rather than solely leveraging volatile crypto.
Akash Network (AKT), valued at $746 million, is labeled by Wacy a “supercloud” that transforms cloud computing through a decentralized marketplace, and Ethena (ENA), at $2.69 billion, provides a synthetic dollar protocol on Ethereum, touted as “a crypto-native, bank-free solution for money.”
Wacy’s list also featured Helium (HNT) with a $1.13 billion market cap, identified for its decentralized IoT network, and Griffain in the Solana ecosystem, with a $211 million market cap, delivering scalable DeFi solutions for token swaps while upholding transparency.
The analyst also highlights Grasso (GRASS) in his list of the best altcoins for 2025 and its $683 million market cap, describing its decentralized data collection network for AI training as both functional and user-friendly. VitaDAO (VITA) is in Wacy’s focus because of its community-governed DAO funding longevity research. Its compact $54 million market cap appears poised for growth as members actively engage in decision-making and ownership, signifying a communal approach to biotech research in crypto.
Spectral, carrying a $194 million market cap, offers on-chain agents for easier application creation and includes a syntax tool that transforms natural language into Solidity. ETIGEN, or Energy Layer, at $170 million, extends novel concepts of restorative energy on Ethereum, and ONDO, with an impressive $2.83 billion market cap, aims to open up institutional-grade DeFi services and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization.
Wacy further singles out AIXTB, at $377M, which monitors crypto-related discussions via a proprietary engine to uncover high-sentiment opportunities, and Ether.fi (ETHFI), priced at $446M, which supports non-custodial ETH staking and DeFi integration. Throughout his breakdown, he underscored the cyclical nature of the crypto market, stating that these best altcoins “could see significant growth in 2025” once capital flow rotates away from Bitcoin and into high-potential altcoin narratives.
His overall thesis hinges on what he perceives as a predictable pattern in every major market cycle. “Altcoins typically pumping when BTC Dominance starts a strong downtrend,” the analyst wrote. He cited the example from 2021, when Bitcoin’s dominance fell from around 73% to 40%, triggering a monumental rally for altcoins like SOL, ADA, and DOGE.
Pointing out that current BTC dominance is about 55%, which he calls a “significant resistance zone,” he predicts a swift drop to 40% if a breakdown occurs. “As I mentioned before, my bet for the altseason is in the spring of 2025,” he said, while admitting that he also shares the common sentiment of disbelief that surrounds every cycle. “That’s okay, it means the market is doing a good job of ‘smoking people out.’ Patience friends, patience always pays off,” he concluded.
At press time, the Bitcoin dominance (BTC.D) stood at 58.02%.
