From Open Ledgers to Hidden Transactions: Blockchain’s Privacy Challenge
Abstract
Blockchain, first introduced by Bitcoin, aimed to create a decentralized, transparent, and immutable ledger that builds trust without needing middlemen. However, its pseudonymity exposes transaction histories when addresses are linked to real-world identities, driving the adoption of privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) like Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs), cryptocurrency mixers, and privacy coins
The Boundless Protocol: A Decentralized Marketplace for Scalable, Trustless Compute
Abstract
The Boundless Protocol introduces a decentralized marketplace for scalable, trustless compute by leveraging zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) and a novel Proof of Verifiable Work (PoVW) mechanism. Traditional cloud computing demands implicit trust in providers, while on-chain execution suffers from limited capacity and cost inefficiencies. Boundless addresses this gap by transforming
CLOBs on Blobs: Powering DeFi’s Institutional Future
Introduction: The Emergence of CLOBs in DeFi
Decentralized finance (DeFi) is undergoing a major shift with the adoption of Central Limit Order Books (CLOBs) a trading model long used in traditional finance and centralized exchanges, now emerging as a powerful innovation in the decentralized space., a trading mechanism that has

Bridging Worlds: The Rise of Hybrid Finance in TradFi and DeFi
Abstract
The world of finance is changing as Traditional Finance (TradFi) and Decentralized Finance (DeFi) start to come together, creating what is often called "Hybrid Finance" (HyFi). This article looks at how both systems have developed over time, what they stand for, and how they work. It points
