Blockchain Foundations

Introduction The rise of decentralized finance (DeFi) has brought about a paradigm shift in the way financial services are delivered. With the promise of transparency, accessibility, and efficiency, DeFi protocols have gained significant traction. However, as with any financial system, disputes are inevitable. Traditional legal frameworks often struggle to keep

Introduction The decentralized finance (DeFi) landscape has evolved rapidly, presenting both opportunities and challenges for developers and users alike. As DeFi applications gain traction, the need for compliance with regulatory frameworks becomes increasingly critical, especially when dealing with real-world assets (RWAs) and mass-market adoption. This article explores the concept of

Zero-Knowledge (ZK) technologies are one of the fastest growing segments in the field of blockchain and cryptography. Their potential promises to radically change the methods of data verification, increase privacy and scalability of decentralized applications. However, the rapid growth of interest in ZK protocols is accompanied by a wave of

Zero-Knowledge proofs (ZK proofs) have long been a niche technology used primarily for privacy. However, in the last two years, they have begun to play a much more important role, both in scaling blockchains and in building trusted computing. ZK’s potential is especially evident in two areas: decentralized finance

1. Part 1: The Fundamental Concepts Welcome to the world of cross-chain technologies! If you've ever felt lost in a sea of complex terms like "interoperability," "wrapped tokens," or "AVS," don't worry – you're not alone. This space is

In the Web3 world, we often hear about decentralizing blockchains and protocols. But what about the websites and apps we use to interact with them? Many “decentralized” apps (dApps) still rely on centralized frontends—that means the website or interface can be shut down or censored, even if the smart
