Nexus Avail Reimagines Blockchain Interoperability

admin

The Avail Nexus mainnet launched this week, promising to radically rewire how assets move between blockchains.

Quantum Security Lands on Layer-1 Roadmaps: Who’s Preparing First?

admin

The slow-moving threat that blockchains can’t ignore Quantum computers still look like lab toys: Racks of hardware, error-prone qubits and almost no real-world applications. Yet if you check the roadmaps of major layer-1 blockchains, a new priority now sits next to scaling and modularity: post-quantum security. The concern is simple even if the math isn’t. Most major blockchains rely on elliptic-curve signatures (ECDSA and Ed25519) to prove that a transaction came from the owner of a private key. A sufficiently powerful quantum computer running Shor’s algorithm could, in theory, recover…

The crypto market’s most turbulent period of 2025 resulted in a drawdown that erased more than $1.2 trillion in value and sent Bitcoin (BTC) plunging from its brief $120,000 peak to the $80,000 range.

How batching could transform Tron

admin

Transaction fees are a major concern when sending cryptocurrency. Each transaction incurs a fee that is received by the miner, and that translates to paying hefty amounts for large organizations that regularly deal with large transactions. Transaction batching is a method invented for such scenarios. The method treats multiple transactions as one to improve scalability and reduce costs. The feature may soon arrive on Tron, thanks to a newly submitted proposal. The proposal was submitted by blockchain infrastructure provider Boosty Labs to the CTDG Dev Hub. The proposal is the…

Bitcoin advocate Saifedean Ammous ignited lively debate between Bitcoiners and privacy advocates after he questioned the perceived importance of privacy as a key characteristic of money in an exclusive interview with Cointelegraph. “This is the question.
