The Cosmos SDK is a robust and versatile framework for building application-specific blockchains. Developed by the Interchain Foundation, this open-source software development kit (SDK) offers a highly modular and customizable approach for creating blockchain networks tailored to specific use cases. By leveraging the Cosmos SDK, developers can efficiently build blockchains that are both scalable and
The need for scalability has turned brutal these days as adoption picks up due to the dawn of advanced use-cases on blockchains. However, something that has remained unchanged all this while is the ethos on which blockchains sustain: transparency and reliability. But rollups and appchains have a different execution environment decoupled from L1s. With that
The title of this article contains three technical terms, followed by a simple question. But to answer the question, we need to get a good grasp of the nuance of the first three words – Tezos, Smart & Rollups. Let’s do it. ‘Tezos’ in the Tezos Smart Rollups refers to the open-source blockchain network that
Sony, the Japanese tech giant, has launched a new Web3 division focused on developing a cutting-edge Ethereum Layer 2 network. Launched on August 23, Sony Block Solutions Labs (Sony SBL) will spearhead Sony’s blockchain and Web3 projects. In collaboration with Startale Labs, the creators of Astar Network, Sony is developing a public Ethereum Layer 2
Blockchain rollups have emerged as a critical solution for scaling blockchain networks, particularly Ethereum. These Layer 2 solutions process multiple transactions off-chain and submit a single proof to the main chain, significantly reducing congestion and gas fees. As the blockchain ecosystem grows more complex with multiple Layer 1 chains and Layer 2 solutions, the need
As the blockchain industry matures, the demand for more specialized and efficient infrastructures has become increasingly apparent. This has led to the emergence of appchains, a groundbreaking concept poised to reshape the way decentralized applications (dApps) are developed and deployed. Appchains offer a unique approach to solving the challenges of scalability, security, and customization that
As blockchain technology continues to evolve, scalability remains one of the most critical challenges facing the industry. Two prominent solutions have emerged to address this issue: rollups and appchains. This article will provide an in-depth exploration of these technologies, their key differences, and their respective advantages and disadvantages. Contents1 What are Rollups?2 What are Appchains?3
In the rapidly evolving landscape of blockchain technology and decentralized systems, a new paradigm is emerging that promises to transform the way we interact with and manage physical infrastructure. Known as Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks, or DePIN, this innovative approach combines the power of blockchain, tokenization, and decentralized governance to create more efficient, transparent, and
Telegram, the popular messaging app, has unveiled two major updates. On July 31, it launched an in-app browser capable of accessing TON Sites, a platform for decentralized websites on the Open Network blockchain. This follows the earlier July announcement of a mini app store by CEO Pavel Durov. These features are now available to Telegram’s
In the past 2-3 months we have seen at least a dozen projects announcing their node sales. Be it, DePIN, AI, or Gaming, everyone is in the race. But what kind of nodes are these that need to be sold separately, why even do projects doing that, what does it take to make a node
