Lens or Nostr? Finding the Ultimate Solution to the Future of Social Media

Lens and Nostr both became popular "in the name of Web3," but all the protocols and apps in the circle naturally had a 100k spell ceiling that quickly hit the 100k mark and began to fall. The application scenarios for decentralized social protocols seem more difficult than Defi protocols. How to define application scenarios and get users out of their social walls is a question that should be considered by all.

Arbitrum Foundation Wants to Steer $1 Billion through Proposal

Just a few days after the ARB Token airdrop, on March 28, the Arbitrum community launched a vote on the Snapshot Arbitrum Improvement Proposal 1 (AIP-1) proposal, which caused community controversy. The creation of ArbitrumDAO may be a "cover" as Lemma, the entity behind the proposal, will also apply for 750 million ARB Tokens (valued at over $1 billion) for funding grants. (Lemma is the service provider for Arbitrum Foundation, Mainly focused on the governance component of operations), but the community soon discovered that the Arbitrum Foundation most likely wanted to "steal" the money with this proposal.

From the White House to Web3: The Past of Ed Felten, founder of Arbitrum.

Last weekend, the Arbitrum community's proposal on the Token allocation of DAO vault caused a fierce discussion. The team transferred the tokens to the wallets of the team and investment institutions before the community vote was passed or even finished (BlockBeats note, Read more about the AIP-1 proposal atAsk questions first and ask questions later? Arbitrum Foundation wants to control $1 billion through a proposal"). In "DAO exists in name only" bursts of denunciation, also some people began to understand Arbitrum team behind the story.

The First Projects of the zkSync Era Are Here, and They haven't even been issued Yet.

The zkSync Era main network was officially opened to the public on March 24, 2023. Within 3 days, the number of single addresses exceeded 100,000, and 18,000 ETH cross-chain entered the zkSync Era. As of April 3, zkSync Era TVL has reached $100 million, 254,000 addresses have interacted with it, and over 59,000 ETH transfers have been made. The rising market of Onchain Trade Protocol (OT) has fueled people's expectations of zkSync ecosystem. What interactive projects can be found in zkSync Era?

One Week Countdown to the Ethereum Shanghai Upgrade: What opportunities Remain on the LSD Track for an early Revival?

ETH liquidity pledge has grown into a $15 billion-plus market. All of these agreements will be ready in less than a week for the market changes brought about by the Shanghai upgrade. Since the beginning of the year, the total ETH pledged through liquidity has increased by 21% from 6.8 million to 8.23 million ETH. After the Shanghai upgrade, the risk of not being able to redeem ETH at its true value will disappear. Therefore, in the larger time frame, I strongly expect that this will lead to a large flow of ETH into the LSD protocol, as it will generate more revenue for users.

Analyzing the Impact of Ethereum Repledge Protocols on Current Pledge Systems

Repledge protocols may bring substantial benefits to validators, but their success risks compromising Ethereum's ability to self-regulate pledge engagement and moderate centralizing forces. The logical end goal is to limit the validator population to a certain size. The repledge agreement distorts the internal pledge feedback loop. In the long run, Ethereum may not be able to adjust APRs to resist high pledge participation rates and centralizing forces. Data Always believes that eventually there needs to be a cap on the number of active validators. To stay on top of this discussion, one should look at Ethereum's Robust Incentives Group and the work of Anders and Barnab on auctioned validator slots.

Gitcoin Beta Round is just around the corner, Things You Need to Know about Gitcoin and Passport

As a collaboration platform for Web3 management and donation plans, Gitcoin provided the initial working capital for many blockchain startups, and many early users of Gitcoin donations also received airdrops for GTC, ENS, BrightID, Rss3 and other projects.

"Teach you simple programming, fast one step air space investment"

Airdrop is the most stable investment in the coin circle, and it is also the real version of investment of "creating wealth". In March, ARB airdrop created a lot of "fables of getting rich". Some people successfully received ARB's high price and sold it, while most people could not log in the airdrop receiving interface due to network, node and other problems, and could not successfully Claim. Until everyone can receive the ARBs, the price of ARBs fell because of the crash, the selling price was not as high as the initial recipients, even fell many times. So, compared to the techies, we retail investors should also learn how to receive airdrops quickly and sell them at a high price. Crypto researcher Rekt Fencer wrote an article on "How to write Code to receive Airdrops", which BlockBeats compiled below.

Polytrade: An Innovative RWA Project Featuring Trade Finance + Stablecoin Lending

The DeFi narrative needs to go beyond cryptocurrencies. The current DeFi narrative is all about cryptocurrencies, with much of the DeFi centered on on-chain financial services. And RWA may be an opportunity for DeFi, DeFi combined with RWA can bring more real assets to encryption and even the crypto economy, and solve more practical problems.

At present, there are not many agreements to bring RWA to DeFi (Goldfinch, TrueFi, Contrifuge), most of which are property or borrowing agreements. Today we will introduce a "RWA+DeFi" protocol, Polytrade, which can be said to perfectly integrate RWA and DeFi narratives, bringing real assets into DeFi and DeFi advantages into the world economy.

spinamp: The Maturing Music NFT Aggregator

Currently, the quality of music distributed in NFT is far inferior to traditional music, and there is a strong disconnect between the three important acts of casting, publishing, trading, and listening: users must search many different platforms to find what they want, and it is even harder to keep track of market dynamics in real time. While fragmentation is an important feature of Web3, too much fragmentation is not good for listening to music. None of this would be a problem if the music NFT market were booming. Just as no one gave up on OpenSea's poor experience when BAYC exploded and Image NFT hit the masses in 2021, the wealth creation effect will drive users to get everything done. But in the absence of network effects across the entire NFT landscape, all problems are magnified. Music NFT needs to get back to the music itself, and spinamp, a music NFT aggregator platform, was born for that.
