Succinct Processor 1 (SP1) is the fastest, most feature-complete zkVM available today, capable of proving the correct execution of arbitrary Rust or any LLVM-compiled programs. SP1’s alpha release already demonstrates up to 28× performance gains over existing zkVMs on real blockchain workloads, such as Tendermint light clients and type-1

Overview TOKEN2049 Dubai 2025 brought together over 15,000 Web3 professionals across two days of keynotes, panels, and side events—highlighting advancements in zero-knowledge proofs, modular blockchain architectures, DePIN (decentralized physical infrastructure networks), and AI-driven tooling. Attendees heard from C-suite leaders, policymakers, and developers about real-world tokenization, on-chain identity solutions,

The Ethereum Pectra upgrade, set to activate on May 7, 2025, unites the Prague execution hard fork and the Electra consensus improvements into a single, ambitious release that implements 11 EIPs focused on validator flexibility, execution efficiency, and user experience. Developers will gain new precompiles, streamlined account abstraction, and enhanced

The Role of Oracles in Crypto Oracles are essential to the functionality of decentralized applications. They serve as bridges between blockchains and the real world, feeding external data — like asset prices, weather, or sports results — into smart contracts. Without oracles, DeFi protocols, prediction markets, and many blockchain use cases simply

In early 2025, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin introduced a bold long-term vision for the Ethereum execution layer: replacing the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) with RISC-V, a standardized open-source instruction set architecture. The idea, while still in its conceptual phase, signals a fundamental shift in how smart contract platforms could operate

🧠 Why analyze the Monad Testnet? * Monad is gaining serious attention as a fast, efficient L1 blockchain. * With 100M+ active addresses, direct mainnet airdrops are very unlikely. * Ecosystem projects are the real goldmine for potential airdrops. 🛠 How to get started with Monad Testnet 1. Set up your tools: * Install the Backpack
