zkEVM

A zkEVM, or Zero-Knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine, is a layer-2 scaling solution for Ethereum that combines zero-knowledge rollups (ZK-rollups) with full compatibility for Ethereum’s Virtual Machine (EVM). Introduced conceptually in 2018 and realized with projects like zkSync Era (March 2023) and Linea (August 2023), zkEVMs process transactions off-chain using

ERC-20

ERC-20 is a technical standard for tokens on the Ethereum blockchain, introduced in November 2015 by Fabian Vogelsteller and Vitalik Buterin via Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) 20. It defines a set of rules and functions that allow tokens to be created, transferred, and managed consistently within Ethereum’s ecosystem. As

Can I use Mitosis with ethereum?

Yes, you can use Mitosis with Ethereum. Mitosis, a Layer 1 blockchain built for ecosystem-owned liquidity (EOL), supports integration with Ethereum by allowing users to deposit Ethereum-based assets like ETH or wrapped tokens (e.g., weETH) into its vaults. These assets are tokenized into 'Vanilla Assets' like vETH

Top 5 Layer 2 Solutions for DeFi in 2025

Top 5 Layer 2 Solutions for DeFi in 2025

Introduction: Why Layer 2 Solutions Matter? The Ethereum blockchain and other Layer 1 networks face ongoing scalability challenges, including high transaction fees, slow confirmation times, and network congestion during peak periods. These limitations make DeFi applications, NFT marketplaces, and gaming platforms difficult to scale. To solve these issues, Layer 2

What is Celestia? The Future of Modular Blockchains & TIA Token (2025 Guide)

Summary Celestia is the first modular blockchain network, designed to solve the blockchain trilemma by separating execution, consensus, and the data availability layer. Unlike traditional blockchains, where all operations are combined into a single layer, Celestia’s modular architecture allows developers to launch their own blockchain with sovereign rollups and

Appchain

An Appchain (Application-Specific Blockchain) is a customized blockchain designed to serve a single application or ecosystem rather than supporting multiple decentralized applications (dApps) like general-purpose blockchains (e.g., Ethereum or Solana). Appchains provide greater flexibility, scalability, and security customization, allowing developers to optimize blockchain functionality for specific use cases such

Liquid Staking Derivatives (LSDs)

Liquid Staking Derivatives (LSDs) are tokenized representations of staked assets that allow users to earn staking rewards while maintaining liquidity. Unlike traditional staking, where assets are locked and inaccessible for a set period, LSDs provide a liquid alternative, enabling users to trade, lend, or use staked assets in decentralized finance
