Blockchain infrastructure has changed significantly over the past decade. Platforms like Ethereum introduced smart contracts and composability. Today, the pressure has shifted again. Users no longer care only about decentralization. They want applications that feel fast, predictable, and usable without needing to understand gas mechanics or wallet complexity. That change in user expectations is part of the reason networks like NEAR Protocol have adjusted their focus over time. NEAR is no longer marketed simply as a sharded blockchain. In 2026, its identity centers on user-owned AI, chain abstraction, and seamless cross-chain interaction. A Different Approach to Identity and Cross-Chain Access […]
In the world of crypto, names like Satoshi Nakamoto carry a lot of weight. He is the mystery man who started it all. But there is another name that deserves just as much credit, even though most people barely know it: Gavin Andresen. Satoshi might have invented Bitcoin, but Andresen is the one who kept it breathing when it easily could have collapsed. Gavin’s story is about a regular programmer who got thrown into a tough situation. The anonymous creator of Bitcoin handed him control of everything and then just disappeared. What followed was years of hard technical work, steady […]

Who gets that money? Does it just vanish into thin air? Sadly, without a plan, […]
Imagine you are walking down a bustling street in Abu Dhabi or New York. You look up at a shimmering $500 million skyscraper. Historically, that building belongs to a massive corporation, a sovereign wealth fund, or a billionaire. For the average person, “investing” in that property would seem impossible, unless you had a few million dollars to spare. Now look at that same building and imagine it has been “shredded” into one million tiny pieces. Each piece is a digital certificate called a token. You buy one for $500. You now officially own 1/1,000,000th of that skyscraper. When the tenants […]
Sarah Chen lost $3,000 last year. Not to a hack or a scam—she just misplaced the piece of paper that has the 12-word recovery phrase of her crypto wallet. Her crypto, locked in an inaccessible wallet, joined an estimated $140 billion in lost Bitcoin sitting in wallets people cannot get into anymore. Stories like Sarah’s explain why so many people still do not buy cryptocurrency. The technology promised financial freedom but also delivered a minefield of technical headaches. Lost your password?

A distributed network powers the crypto industry. The network operates through thousands of computers, known as nodes, that are based worldwide. No single person, company, or government controls this network. Nodes connect directly to each other. They all keep an identical copy of the blockchain, a big shared ledger that is online. Everyone sees the transactions instantly. Nodes constantly share data. They check every new transaction together. Miners compete to solve tough puzzles and bundle transactions into fresh blocks. Once
Bitcoin is the very first cryptocurrency. It is basically digital money that only exists on the internet. People like to call it “digital gold” or “internet cash.” Unlike the dollars or rupees sitting in the bank account or in the wallet, no government, no bank, and no big company controls Bitcoin. Nobody can just decide to print more of it whenever they feel like it. It works on something called the blockchain. Think of the blockchain as one huge, shared
In crypto, a bagholder is a term used to describe an investor who holds onto a depreciating asset long after its value has plummeted, often to zero. This isn’t just about losing money; it is a specific failure to exit a position during a shift in market regime. Becoming a bagholder usually follows a predictable cycle. The cycle usually begins with a “pump”. During this time, the capitalisation of a project goes up to levels that don’t align with actual
In crypto, a mainnet is a sovereign, functional blockchain that executes actual transactions with real-world economic value. It is the “live” version of a protocol. Unlike a testnet, which acts as a zero-risk sandbox for developers to break code, the mainnet is where the stakes are permanent. If a transaction happens here, it stays on a public ledger forever. Most projects start their lives as placeholder tokens on an existing network, typically as ERC-20 contracts on Ethereum. The shift to
