iExec (RLC): An Overview of the Project
iExec RLC exemplifies the transformation of a Web3 marketplace with its native ERC-20 token RLC, evolving into an entity similar to an Ethereum sidechain. The platform's distinct consensus algorithm, dedicated dApps creation infrastructure, secure smart contracts, and oracle factory are hallmarks of this transformation. 
Europe Eyeing Stricter Rules for DeFi
The European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB), the EU's financial stability authority, has voiced concerns that the rapidly expanding digital asset and decentralized finance (DeFi) sectors could pose a systemic threat to the economy. This warning has led to suggestions that further regulations may be needed to oversee major crypto conglomerates and smart contracts. Glimmer (GLMR): The Token Powering the Moonbeam Platform
Moonbeam is one of the parachains, allowing decentralized applications from the Ethereum blockchain to be easily transferred to the Polkadot ecosystem without requiring significant code rewrites. It is a blockchain platform for smart contracts designed specifically for developers. Curve Finance Launches Stablecoin crvUSD on Ethereum Mainnet
Curve Finance, a prominent decentralized exchange, has initiated the deployment of smart contracts for its stablecoin, crvUSD, on the Ethereum mainnet. The launch is not yet fully completed, as the user interface needed for users to interact with the crvUSD smart contracts is still being developed. 
Phala Network (PHA): A Detailed Review
The Phala Network(or Phala Cloud) is a private cloud computing network operating in a manner comparable to Amazon Lambda's service, but for Web3. Utilizing a TEE-Blockchain Hybrid Architecture, developers can deploy private smart contracts that run within a secure TEE environment. SEC Restructuring: Gensler's Reign Over?
In 2023, SEC Chair Gary Gensler decided to take on the entire cryptocurrency industry. Unable to reach decentralized exchanges and the DeFi sector (since they are virtual smart contracts deployed in a virtual environment), he turned all his focus towards centralized exchanges and top crypto assets. Expounding Horizen's Impenetrable Network and ZEN Cryptocurrency
Horizen presents a riveting blockchain venture, courtesy of a team of developers with considerable crypto industry expertise. With a PoW blockchain supplemented by PoS sidechains, secure and supernodes, smart contracts, a focus on Web3, alongside private and public transactions, this project encompasses an extensive spectrum of options and possibilities. What Are Decentralized Applications (DApps)?
Decentralized applications, or DApps, are digital programs anchored in smart contracts. These run on blockchain technology, unlike traditional apps which depend on centralized servers. While they look and function much like common mobile applications, their range of uses spans from gaming and finance to social networking, and beyond. Deploying a Shardeum Testnet Node to Get an Airdrop
Shardeum is an EVM-based, linearly scalable network, allowing for the deployment of smart contracts. The project utilizes dynamic sharding technology, ensuring appropriate decentralization and efficient scalability with an increase in the number of nodes. How Many ETH Were Lost Forever Due to Developer Mistakes?
According to Coinbase director Conor Grogan users have lost access to 636,000 ETH since the network was created, either due to serious vulnerabilities in smart contracts or simply their own carelessness. At the time of writing, this equates to approximately $1.1 billion. Zilliqa launches EVM-compatible mainnet
Zilliqa recently announced its EVM compatibility feature will be available on its mainnet on April 25th. This upgrade will provide users with the ability to execute Ethereum smart contracts and use popular wallets within the Zilliqa ecosystem. This will enable the transfer of ZIL tokens through platforms such as MetaMask. What is the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)?
The EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) is an execution environment for smart contracts written in the Solidity programming language, used for developing decentralized applications. EVM is an important component of the Ethereum ecosystem, allowing developers to create complex and innovative applications to perform a wide range of functions.
