Illicit activity involving cryptocurrency is down 15% in volume so far this year, according to a new report from blockchain intelligence firm Chainalysis.

According to Chainalysis, total scam revenue for 2022 is 65% lower than it was through the end of July 2021 and currently sits at $1.6 billion, which it attributes to the declining overall crypto market.

“Since January 2022, scam revenue has fallen more or less in line with Bitcoin pricing,” the firm says.

Though the number of scams may be down, Chainalysis reports that as of July 2022, $1.9 billion in crypto was still stolen in hacks.

“We shouldn’t expect theft to drop based on cryptocurrency market movements the way scamming does,” the …

Atozy, posted a video on YouTube entitled “This Youtuber Scams His Fans... BitBoy Crypto” in November 2021.

The filing says Mengshoel "repeatedly calls Armstrong a 'dirtbag,' stating that he is a 'shady dirtbag' and a 'dirtbag YouTuber.

'”Armstrong has 1.44 million subscribers and has netted 212 million views since launching his channel in February 2018.

However, Armstrong's lawsuit provides an extensive recounting of Mengshoel's comments about him.

Ultimately, Armstrong's lawsuit accuses Mengshoel's video of being "a hit job, an attack piece, not some investigative report," the lawsuit reads.

In brief Dogechain is a newly-launched blockchain platform that lets users bridge over Dogecoin (DOGE) and use it for DeFi, NFTs, and more.

It’s not a traditional layer-2 scaling solution for Dogecoin, as billed, nor are Dogecoin’s developers or creators involved in the project.

However, Dogechain isn’t a true layer-2 network in that it’s not built on top of Dogecoin.

Dogecoin (DOGE) holders can bridge their holding over to Dogechain to receive Wrapped Dogecoin (wDOGE) in return and then use that on the new platform to interact with DeFi apps, as well as potential future NFT marketplaces, dapps, and games.

The Dogechain website makes a number of longer-term promises about its planned future…

A California court has given the U.S. Internal Revenue Service permission to issue a “John Doe” summons to prime brokerage SFOX.

In a memo about the SFOX summons, Hubbert wrote that IRS Agent Seng Lee has identified 10 different taxpayers believed to be SFOX customers who are suspected of skirting tax laws.

It’s the latest sweep by the Department of Justice and IRS to round up crypto traders who failed to report transactions on their tax returns.

In 2017, courts gave the IRS permission to issue a John Doe summons to Coinbase.

Last year, courts again approved John Doe summons to be issued to Kraken (despite some initial pushback) and USD Coin issuer Circle (along with Poloniex, which split f…

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has further broadened its crusade against the cryptocurrency industry, announcing charges against John Joseph Roets, chief architect of Dragonchain, for allegedly raising $16.5 million in unregistered "crypto asset” securities offerings.

The Tuesday filing follows the SEC's assertion that popular crypto exchange Coinbase listed unregistered securities on its platform in July.

According to the SEC, in 2017, Roets, Dragonchain, and the Foundation conducted an unregistered offering of Dragon tokens ("DRGN") through a discounted "presale" to members of a crypto investment club and through an initial coin offering (ICO) in October and November.

The SEC…

Colombia may introduce a central bank digital currency, the country’s tax agency chief said yesterday.

Luis Carlos Reyes, the director of Colombia’s tax and customs agency, DIAN, told Semana magazine Monday that the South American nation’s new government would look to create “a digital currency” that would make “transactions easier for the consumer.”A central bank digital currency (CBDC) is a digital version of a state’s fiat currency—like the U.S. dollar or the euro—backed by a central bank.

He has also shown an interest in digital assets: Petro, 62, last year said while campaigning that the country should mine Bitcoin using renewable energy—instead of producing cocaine.

Coinbase will temporarily pause Ethereum and ERC-20 token deposits and withdrawals during the merge, the exchange announced Tuesday.

Indeed, Coinbase and other crypto exchanges have paused deposits and withdrawals in the past when blockchain networks underwent major changes.

If you were trading crypto back then, then you know the drill by now.

But if you’re new to crypto, updates from Coinbase regarding what to expect may provide some peace of mind.

While other crypto exchanges will likely follow similar procedures, only Coinbase has so far provided notice to its users.

In June, Singapore-based crypto exchange Crypto.com laid off 260 employees, or 5% of its workforce, citing the crypto bear market.

The source, a Crypto.com employee in a managerial role whose identity has been confirmed by Decrypt, spoke under condition of anonymity.

But the source says the size of this round of cuts "is much bigger than the first one."

Just yesterday, Crypto.com announced that it will be the first cryptocurrency exchange operating under Canada's new regulatory scheme.

Prior to the cuts, about 45% of the entire Crypto.com employee base was hired between 2021 and 2022, the source said.

Singapore-based cryptocurrency exchange Bitrue today announced that it will support a token linked to ETHW—the proof-of-work version of Ethereum that “merge resistors” will attempt to create by forking the Ethereum blockchain at the time of the merge.

That shift also marks the end of mining on Ethereum, which ETH miners aren’t too happy about, hence the growing calls for a hard fork that maintains the status quo.

Via a swap and IOU mechanism, Bitrue will make an ETHW token available to all current ETH holders on its platform.

The campaign to create ETHW began earlier this month at the behest of prominent Chinese crypto miner Chandler Guo.

Guo and other crypto miners have until now enjoyed s…

И, как с любыми инвестициями, здесь важно понимать риски.

Биткойны без KYC могут быть полезны для покупки товаров и услуг, которые вы не хотите связывать со своими персональными данными, таких как VPN.

Та же самая предусмотрительность, что побуждает людей запасать золото и паспорта, лежит и в основе стремления пользоваться биткойнами без KYC.

Если вы хотите по-настоящему изменить свою жизнь к лучшему, используйте свое биткойн-путешествие как возможность для обучения, познания нового, а не как поиск мгновенного обогащения.

В отличие от обычного интернета, пользователи метавселенной могут взаимодействовать с другими пользователями через своих аватаров в виртуальной реальности, как в видеоигре.

Я бы сравнил это с последней деталью головоломки, которая откроет возможности к цифровизации всех аспектов нашего мира.

Sandbox — это метавселенная на основе Ethereum, которая позволяет пользователям создавать собственные предметы, минтить их в виде NFT и продавать на NFT-маркетплейсах.

Вы можете жить в Нигерии, Иране или Пакистане и конкурировать в метавселенной в масштабах всего мира без каких-либо предрассудков, расизма или сексизма.

Вот почему метавселенная это настолько новаторская концепция.

Чтобы наглядно визуализировать результаты для всех возможных отправных точек, возьмем приведенный выше график и сохраним только цвета, кодирующие диапазон реальной доходности S&P500.

В принципе, для тех, кто вкладывался в S&P500 в 2020 году, вплоть до начала 2021 включительно, в смысле положительной реальной доходности пока всё в порядке: синие ячейки до самого края.

8 августа утром Министерство финансов США объявило о включении Ethereum-микшера Tornado Cash в санкционный список Управления по контролю за иностранными активами США.

Tornado Cash — это некастодиальный опенсорс-проект, построенный на Ethereum и позволяющий пользователям перемешивать свои монеты с помощью смарт-контракта Tornado Cash, разрывая таким образом прямую взаимосвязь монет с их предыдущей историей.

Таким образом, даже без учета более сильной поддержки ETH2 в Ethereum Foundation и комьюнити, исход кажется очевидным: ETH2 будет победителем, а ETHPoW — проигравшим.

Пройдемся по нескольким важным сегодняшним койнам на основе Ethereum:USDC на ETHPoW — не имеет смысла, потому что Circle, как уже говорилось выше, выберет ETH2, и токенами USDC на ETHPoW просто нельзя будет воспользоваться.

Wrapped BTC на ETHPoW — бесполезны, потому что кастодианы выберут ETH2, и токены на ETHPoW не будут подлежать обмену на биткойны.

Все остальные ERC-20 токены на ETHPoW — вероятно, будут иметь очень ограниченную ценность в экосистеме ETHPoW.

Формализованные практики кредитования Lightning Network, такие как маркетплейсы ликвидности, будут способствовать росту экономической активности, нативной для Биткойна.

Lightning Network (далее LN) уже позиционирует себя как слой рынка капитала для Биткойна.

Жители Сальвадора по необъяснимым причинам теряют биткойны в государственном криптовалютном кошельке Chivo, сообщает New Scientist.

Наличие проблем изданию подтвердили Заира Навас из полиции Сальвадора и биткойн-энтузиаст с псевдонимом Rogzy.

«Не думаю, что Chivo безопасен, и никто не может это проверить, поскольку код приложения не является открытым», — сказал Rogzy.

Он также признал технические проблемы с внедрением кошелька Chivo.

7 сентября 2021 года в Сальвадоре вступил в силу закон о признании биткойна официальным средством платежа наряду с долларом США.

EthCC is over for another year and what a week it was!

6 stages, 2,000 attendees, over 200 speakers, 40 hours of talks and content, 40 sponsors, and 130 side events (and parties) all over Paris.

The Ethereum France team pulled it off again with the fifth edition of the Ethereum Community Conference bringing the community together in the city of love.

Keeping with tradition we did an EthCC recap panel and were joined by Ethereum France President Jerome de Tychey, EthCC Project Manager Bettina Boon Falleur, and Founder of Giveth Griff Green.

We talk about the standout moments of this year’s event, how the conference has grown over the years, NFT tickets, the European Ethereum community, and t…

Enzyme Finance, previously named Melon, is a decentralized protocol built on Ethereum (ETH) that allows users to create, manage and invest in custom crypto asset management vehicles onchain.

Using Enzyme Smart Vaults, individuals and communities can build, scale and monetize investment strategies that employ the newest innovations in decentralized finance.

We were joined by Mona El Isa, CEO & founder at Avantgarde Finance and Enzyme Finance, for the second time after her first appearance 5 years ago.

We chat about the transition from Melon to Enzyme and the current st…

The hotly anticipated Ethereum merge due later this year, will see the joining of the existing execution layer of Ethereum (the Mainnet we use today) with its new proof-of-stake consensus layer, the Beacon Chain.

It eliminates the need for energy-intensive mining and instead secures the network using staked ETH.

This is a truly exciting step in the Ethereum vision of more scalability, security, and sustainability.

Tim Beiko, Protocol Support for the Ethereum Foundation, is heavily involved in the project.

He joined us to give some deep insights into governance within Ethereum, a full update on how the merge is coming along and the next steps, and how Ethereum will look post-merge.

Urbit is an exciting new operating system and peer-to-peer network that’s simple by design, built to last forever, and 100% owned by its users.

Under the hood it’s a from-scratch software stack compact enough that individual developers can understand and control it completely.

Urbit deconstructs the client-server model in favor of a federated network of personal servers with built-in, cryptographically-owned identity, each of which is capable of distributing and running their own applications that communicate over the Urbit network.

We were joined by the Executive Director of the Urbit Foundation, Josh Lehman, who explained in depth how the Urbit ecosystem was built and now runs, the advant…

MetaMask is the de-facto standard self-custodial wallet for Ethereum.

It started off as a web browser extension on chromium.

More recently, it also launched a mobile app.

Metamask allows you to interact with decentralized applications (dapps) natively.

We were joined by Dan Finlay, Founder & Group Manager at MetaMask, to chat about the motivation for building MetaMask, the security of the platform, decentralization, the future of seed phrases and much more!

The Ethereum Name Service (ENS) allows users to register .eth domain names, which can be used natively in some browsers and all Ethereum wallets.

Enabled by Schnorr signatures and Merkelized Alternative Syntax Trees (MAST), Taproot will improve the efficiency and privacy of transactions, enhance scripting capabilities, and support Bitcoin scaling.

The Blockstream R&D team is one of the major contributors to the Bitcoin Core libsecp implementation and the related work on MuSig, both of which have Taproot support now integrated.

Taproot SupportTaproot and its new address format, bech32m, will bring several benefits to wallets, including our industry-leading Bitcoin and Liquid wallet, Blockstream Green.

For a more in-depth explainer on what Taproot brings to layer-2 Bitcoin, read our Taproot article on the Blockstream Engineering Blog.

We are proud to announce our sponsorship of Minimint, a project in development that brings the technology of blinded federated mints (Chaumian banks) to Bitcoin.

Federated mints are a natural complement to existing scaling solutions like the Lightning Network and the Liquid sidechain.

Federated Mints 101A federated mint comprises independent members who create a multisig wallet and participate in a blind, distributed custodianship.

For a more in-depth review of the technicals behind federated mints and how they work, please see our Engineering Blog entry.

With the integration of Lightning into federated mints, users have access to a trust-minimized and privacy-conscious wallet solution righ…

● Lowering the default minimum transaction relay feerate: Bitcoin Core only relays individual unconfirmed transactions that pay a feerate of at least one satoshi per vbyte (1 sat/vbyte).

If a node’s mempool fills with transactions paying at least 1 sat/vbyte, then a higher feerate will need to be paid.

Transactions paying a lower feerate can still be included in blocks by miners and those blocks will be relayed.

Lowering the default minimum feerate has been discussed in the past (see Newsletter #3) but hasn’t been merged into Bitcoin Core.

● Past failures: it was mentioned that the previous attempt to lower the default feerate was hampered by the lower rate also reducing the cost of several…

The second address would be for internal payments within the wallet, namely returning change back to the wallet after spending a UTXO.

As specified in BIP32, most wallets use separate paths for generating external versus internal addresses in order to enhance privacy.

An external path used for receiving payments might be shared with less-trusted devices, e.g.

The internal path used only for change might only be needed at times when the private key is also needed, so it could receive the same security.

Dmitry Petukhov noted that only internal and external paths are widely used today and that any additional paths wouldn’t have a clear meaning to existing wallets.

● Multiformat single-sig message signing: Bitcoin Core and many other wallets have long included support for signing and verifying arbitrary messages when the key used to sign them corresponds to a P2PKH address.

Bitcoin Core doesn’t support signing or verifying arbitrary messages for any other address type, including addresses covering single-sig P2SH-P2WPKH, native P2WPKH, and P2TR outputs.

A previous proposal, BIP322, to provide fully generic message signing that could work with any script has not yet been merged into Bitcoin Core or added to any other popular wallet of which we’re aware.

This week, Ali Sherief proposed that the same message signing algorithm used for P2WPKH also be used…

● Hard fork not required: Vjudeu suggests that a soft fork can create new bitcoins by imbuing transaction outputs paying zero satoshis with special meaning.

This creates two classes of bitcoins, but presumably the soft fork would provide a mechanism to convert legacy-bitcoins to modified-bitcoins.

Vjudeu notes the same mechanism could also be used for privacy-enhancing bitcoin amount blinding (e.g.

Maxwell further notes that Bitcoin miners on average collect significantly more value through just transaction fees than many altcoins pay their miners through the combination of subsidies, fees, and other incentives.

In short, Bitcoin may already be past the point where it needs its subsidy to o…

This week’s newsletter summarizes discussions about long-term block reward funding, alternatives to BIP47 reusable payment codes, options for announcing LN channel splices, LN routing fee collection strategies, and onion message rate limiting.

That demand must generate transaction fees to pay for Proof of Work (PoW) in excess of what an attacker would be willing to purchase to disrupt Bitcoin users.

Developer Peter Todd pointed out that this dependency could be removed if the Bitcoin protocol were modified to include a perpetual subsidy.

● Fundamental fee-collection strategies for LN forwarding nodes: developer ZmnSCPxj summarized three strategies LN forwarding nodes can use in collecting f…

Also included are our regular sections with descriptions of interesting new features in Bitcoin clients and services, announcements of new releases and release candidates, and summaries of notable changes to popular Bitcoin infrastructure software.

Currently Bitcoin Core only allows RBF if the version of the transaction to be replaced has a signaling bit enabled, as defined in BIP125.

Because it only adds the ability to enable full RBF—but does not enable it by default—it does not change Bitcoin Core’s current default behavior.

As of this writing, it isn’t entirely clear how significant the vulnerability is for Bitcoin users.

If you have any questions or concerns about the software you use,…

However, as mentioned in Newsletter #190, some developers remain concerned that onion messages may be vulnerable to several different types of denial-of-service attacks.

Additionally, one previously-discussed thought experiment is to take the information that a probing node would learn and have nodes share it freely without requiring any probing.

If that was done by every node, the bandwidth requirements and loss of privacy woul…

It’s pretty crazy to see how far the Beacon Chain has come in just ~16 months especially given that there are currently no withdrawals of staked ETH (and there probably won’t be until Q1 2023).

Curated by Anthony Sassano (@sassal0x) and Eric Conner (@econoar)😔 Uncertain TimesThere seems to be a lot of uncertainty in the world right now - especially around what’s happening in Russia/Ukraine and Canada - and the crypto markets are not liking it.

Of course, we’ll keep building, and hopefully one day soon we can properly service the people that we’ve been creating all this technology for.

Have a great week everyone!

Personally, I think that personality cults can be very damaging because people tend tie their investments to a personality and deify that individual which just inevitably leads to ruin once their investment falters.

Friktion is a Solana protocol that provides full-stack portfolio management designed to perform across market cycles.

Friktion has so far launched 4 different Volts in order to fulfill their mission of allowing users to build a portfolio that generates returns in bull, bear, and crab markets.

Despite the fact that the crypto market is in a bear market, Friktion is seeing consistent growth in unique users.

They have successfully onboarded a total of 16,709 unique users as of August 3, 2022.

Katana is an asset management protocol building investment products across the risk spectrum.

It was the grand champion out of 568 project at the first annual Solana conference.

Today, Katana mainly sells structured products such as “Covered Calls” and “Put Selling” vaults.

So far, $650m worth of options have been traded on the platform.

However, the bear market has not been kind to the protocol TVL as it has decreased to $10m which is about 75% from the high around $40m in Jan 2022.

NEAR is one of the most hyped alt L1s in the ecosystem, having raised $500M+ from numerous prominent investors.

A proof-of-stake chain, NEAR uses sharding (segmenting of blockchain data across nodes) to help drive high throughput, fast settlement, and low fees.

Though it has been touted as a venerable alternative to Ethereum, on-chain activity has been limited in comparison to other L1s in terms of addresses, transactions, and TVL.

For Solana, monthly cohort sizes (new users joining that month) are a lot smaller than Ethereum while the user-retention is much higher in almost every month.

For example, Month 1 retention for May 2022 is 45% compared to Ethereum's 11%.

Month 2 retention for Feb-May is nearly 2x that of Ethereum.

Lido continues to lead the ETH2 staking market, having 31% market share but steadily falling since May, with new exchange staking products likely contributing to this dynamic.

The number of nominal ETH deposited has flattened since early May 2022, and it is possible broader market volatility as deterred prospective depositors.

Lido's 4m ETH deposits is 20x larger than the younger competitor, Rocket Pool which has ~200k ETH deposited to its validators today.

Looking at the total number of weekly transactions and users on the network, Optimism still lags mainnet activity quite substantially.

Optimism is barely pushing 1m weekly transactions while Ethereum is doing as much as 8m weekly transactions.

Comparing the number of Uniswap v3 swaps, the lower gas fees clearly lead to a higher amount of transactions being done on Optimism.

The number of users lag behind Ethereum, but for the week of 7/11, there were more weekly active users on Optimism Uniswap v3 than Ethereum.

Net ETH inflows had their highest weekly transfer in May with around 30k ETH flowing in through the native Ethereum-Optimism bridge.

ArtBlocks, the leading generative art platform, recently surpassed $1.3b (412,526 ETH) in total secondary sales.

There are now over 300 published projects among the Curated, Playground and Factory collections.

ArtBlocks just kicked off Season 8 of its Curated series with Running Moon project by Licia He.

The project minted out quickly during a Dutch Auction which started at a price of 3 ETH and reduced less than 0.2 ETH before minting out.

Euler is a decentralized lending protocol.

It introduced two key innovations: a borrower-friendly liquidation mechanism and risk-tiered, permissionless pools.

First, it’s “soft liquidation” mechanism allows the liquidation bonus (% of collateral paid to liquidators) to be determined by a dutch auction.

Second, isolated tier asset pools can be created for any asset with a Uni V3 TWAP price feed.

In early June, Euler’s TVL ~2x’d to ~$250m, before settling to ~$200m; it is currently the 4th largest lending protocol on mainnet by TVL.

As the price of ETH has fallen more than 60% over the past few months, the volume of swaps to stablecoins has increased.

Swap volume to stablecoins from March to May has increased 32% as users seek less volatile assets in the midst of the continuing crypto selloff.

The number of swaps to stablecoins has also increased significantly, from 161k in March to 193k in May.

One way to assess a network's profitability is to check the unique transactions that were done at prices higher than the current one.

During a bull market, the UTXO in profit percentage trends towards 100%, indicating there may be more sell pressure.

For Bitcoin, the ratio is currently at 72% - the lowest it has been since June 2020.

Historically this ratio has bottomed at around 45%: a sign that there may be more pain to come before things get better.

On April 26th, Optimism announced on Twitter their plan to move towards a DAO structure.

Part of this change was Optimism's OP token.

For the initial allocation, 5% of the supply was announced to be a part of airdrop #1, proportionally rewarding addresses with a set of 6 criteria along with an overlap bonus.

Along with past Optimism users, healthy network participants are also heavily rewarded.

The initial airdrop distribution can be see in the picture attached.

Velodrome is an AMM designed as the central trading and liquidity marketplace on Optimism.

Velodrome is built on top of Solidly, and was launched on May 31st.

At its core, Velodrome uses two tokens to manage its utility (VELO) and governance (veVELO).

Voters choose which pools get emissions and receive incentives through trading fees, bribes and anti-dilutive weekly rebases weekly, while LPs receive the emission directed to their pools.

There's a total of 321m VELO supply, with 51% locked.

Goldfinch is a decentralized credit protocol with a mission to bring the world’s credit activity on-chain while expanding access to capital.

The protocol offers sustainable stablecoin yields generated by real-world economic activity, and, sheltered from DeFi’s volatility, serves as a global marketplace connecting crypto investors to borrowers who are expanding economic growth in their regions.

Though it is only just over a year old Goldfinch has surpassed $100m in active loans across 28 countries.

STEPN is a Web3 fitness app with built-in gamified components.

Users equip themselves with NFT sneakers, and earn in-game token through walking, jogging, or running outdoors.

Over the past two months, the STEPN app was able to grow the number of daily active users organically and steadily (thanks to the use of non-incentivized activation codes).

Despite the growth, the % of users who mint sneakers within the total daily active users was able to stay at a relatively stable level.

There is a a healthy level of volatility for this metric: there is no significant upward or downward trend being observed.

Today we are excited to announce our latest venture fund, Venture Fund III, a $430M fund that invests $500K-$25M in early-stage opportunities all the way up to $100M+ for later-stage projects when combined with our evergreen liquid fund.

Creator MonetizationWhile creator monetization is certainly not a new idea, the opportunities for it are actually just coming into view now as the underlying platforms and rails are now mature enough to support it.

The archetypes for next-generation creator monetization tools are being invented as we speak.

The opportunity for creator monetization will happen slowly and then all at once.

There’s a fairly commonly held view that NFT marketplaces will verticalize.

The problem is that 3rd-party NFT exchanges are parasitic to NFT communities.

There are two common places that tie these hangout spaces together: games themselves, and NFT marketplaces.

Similarly, they learn about what NFT communities are doing on social channels, then go to NFT marketplaces to complete a transaction.

This is why NFT communities will move away from generic NFT marketplaces.

Today I’m excited to announce that Multicoin Capital has led a $60M Series A in Delphia alongside Ribbit Capital, FTX Ventures, Valor Equity Partners, FJ Labs, Lattice Ventures, Cumberland, Road Capital, and M13.

“Pay to play” is replaced with “contribute data to earn” (as described in the next paragraph).

These curation games provide a powerful mechanism for the Delphia DataDAO to gather more data which further strengthens Delphia’s edge.

Potential DataDAO participants and Delphia investors should review the written materials related to such DataDAO and Delphia fund, if any.

Multicoin is not involved in the operation of (and does not act as an investment adviser to) any DataDAO or any Delp…

We recognized an opportunity to address all of these problems concurrently, and so we teamed up with Matthew Ball (who has established himself as the defining voice on the metaverse on the web), and Bitwise (the most prominent crypto-native asset management firm focused on passive investments) to create the Ball Multicoin Bitwise Metaverse Index.

While we are contributing to the Ball Multicoin Bitwise Metaverse Index, we are not an adviser to the Bitwise investment vehicle or any other licensee of the index.

At the same time, we’re very excited with our work on the Ball Multicoin Bitwise Metaverse Index.

We refer to this thesis as “proof of physical work.” Protocols that fit this thesis incentivize people to do verifiable work that builds real-world infrastructure.

The Helium Network is built by “hosts” who mine HNT, the native token of the Helium protocol, in exchange for creating coverage and transferring data over the network.

While centralized corporations build their networks in a top-down and rigid process, decentralized crypto-economic protocols are able to grow faster in a bottom-up way everywhere at once.

Permissionless, crypto-economic protocols rely on redundancy to offer network-level reliability even when individual network nodes are not as reliable.

In addition to allowing game developers to list assets directly on a public marketplace, as a Web3 amusement park Fractal also empowers game developers to engage their fellow gamers in many ways and grow an organic community through discovery and curation.

A metagame and the Fractal NFTWhen the Fractal platform launched on December 25, 2021, Fractal conducted the largest NFT airdrop in history—it airdropped 100,000 fractal NFTs (which look like snowflakes) to its community members for free.

We believe that bridges will exhibit extremely strong network effects per pair of asset ledgers.

Given that most asset ledger teams are building their own bridges—Optimism bridge, Arbitrum bridge, Starknet bridge, Avalanche bridge, Polygon bridge, Near’s Rainbow bridge, etc.—we expect that these bridges will be dominant bridges for their respective ecosystems.

Rather than compete directly with any of these bridges, LayerZero actually layers nicely on top of all of them.

In addition to the LayerZero protocol, the LayerZero team is launching a cross-chain bridge called Stargate that is built on the LayerZero protocol.

While Stargate is the flagship app built on the LayerZero protocol, we expe…

I’m excited to announce that Multicoin Capital invested in Aptos Labs’ $200M strategic round.

The round was led by a16z crypto, and included participation from Katie Haun’s fund, 3 Arrows Capital, ParaFi Capital, IronGrey, Hashed, Variant, Tiger Global, BlockTower, FTX Ventures, Paxos, Coinbase Ventures, among others.

The Aptos team believes in scaling single-shard performance as noted above.

The Aptos team is already 20+ strong, and with years of knowledge around this codebase, they are moving quickly and hiring like crazy.

Dialect is a smart messaging protocol that powers seamless, on-chain messaging experiences, starting with wallet-to-wallet chat and dapp notifications.

On-chain messages could also bring positive economic externalities that were not possible before having such communication capability.

Dialect is a smart messaging standard.

For Dialect, notifications are a means to weave smart messaging into the fabric of crypto.

Chris’s background in deep tech and consumer products makes him a perfect candidate to build a smart messaging tool-suite for the developers.

Until the advent of Napster, the record label bundle consisted of three things:Risk-sharing — Record labels were VCs that invested in artists.

Record labels actually funded the development of the vast majority of music, even though the vast majority of music was unprofitable.

Distribution — Record labels had distribution relationships with retailers.

Meanwhile record labels are capturing the lion’s share of the revenue from streaming.

As noted above, a bunch of crypto startups are trying to unbundle the record labels.

Computers do three things, and only three things:Store data Compute over data Send data to other computers (who in turn store data, process data, and send data to other computers, etc.)

You cannot compute without storage, and so naturally most of the earliest Web3 protocols were focused on storage.

We have been thinking about the Web3 compute sector for years, and have made a number of investments: Livepeer, The Graph, and Render Network.

Notably, all three of these Web3 compute primitives are highly specialized around a very specific type of computation.

If you want to help build the substrate to scale Web3 computation, Fluence is hiring, and you can meet up with the team at ETH Denver thi…

There’s an even larger opportunity for composability: data composability.

Data Ledgers — Ceramic Application-Specific Ledgers — Osmosis, Helium, Thorchain, Sommelier, Auth Network, etc.

System OverviewAll ledgers—asset ledgers, storage ledgers, data ledgers, etc.—must achieve three properties concurrently:Scale — Without scale, software is just a toy.

The Ceramic network has been in beta since June 2021, and is being hosted by a handful of early supporters.

Over the coming months, the network will decentralize to an increasing number of hosts and become fully permissionless so that anyone can host content in the Ceramic network.

Today I’m excited to announce that we are co-leading a $10M strategic round in Project Galaxy with Dragonfly Capital.

(Note: that the “credential data” we are referring to in this article is all public data.

Web3 credentialing creates new ways to bootstrap flywheels and other organic growth for Web3 applications that wasn’t possible before.

Powering Web3 Identities with the Galaxy Credential NetworkThere are two ways to build Web3 identities: top-down and bottom-up.

Web3 applications can bootstrap adoption by targeting the right audience using existing Web3 credentials to offer incentives for certain behaviors.

Today we’re excited to announce that Multicoin Capital has co-led a $43M strategic investment in Metaplex alongside our friends at Jump Crypto, with participation from Solana Ventures, Alameda Research, Samsung Next, Sino Global Capital, Animoca, Cultur3 Capital, Blue Pool—in addition to 90 other supporters.

Metaplex is the dominant NFT standard for Solana, powering the vast majority of NFT activity.

Metaplex standards and tools have found a massive market, drawn in users, and started scaling — all before the first official fundraise.

NFT collections built over the Metaplex standard represent some of the most important creators, investors and entertainers in the world.

This results in more technological intermediation or, as I’ve come to call it, middlemachines.

Middlemachines are not original to Web3.

The history of technology is also a history of the gradual rise of middlemachines, although the pace of innovation was relatively slow prior to the Industrial Revolution.

More advanced middlemachines are based on digital information and communications technologies (ICT), and are organized into networks of increasing complexity and automation.

What is the societal function of middlemachines?

Dollar-cost averaging (DCA) is a time-tested strategy for saving and investing used by millions worldwide.

How dollar-cost averaging (DCA) worksDollar-cost averaging is a long-term strategy commonly used to invest and build savings from personal income.

Consider the following obstacles faced by bitcoin savers that a dollar-cost averaging strategy helps them overcome.

For those saving in bitcoin, a dollar-cost averaging strategy only works if bitcoin works.

Elevate your bitcoin savingsOnce you have a bitcoin DCA plan in place, you’ll want to learn more about how to take full advantage of your bitcoin savings through self-custody.

If your goal is to avoid exorbitant fees, strategically maintaining a relatively low number of UTXOs can make a big difference.

How bitcoin transaction fees are calculatedFees are determined by the chosen cost per byte of data, as well as how many bytes of data your transaction will require.

If you have many UTXOs to move, your transaction will contain more bytes than a typical transaction involving just a few UTXOs.

So, why would anyone ever choose a higher fee rate?

Some transactions will have to wait longer, and those transactions will typically be the ones paying miners the lowest fee rate.

Initially, there were no platforms on which to buy bitcoin as it didn’t even have an exchange rate in other currencies.

Peer-to-peer trading platformsE.g., Bisq, Hodl Hodl, LocalBitcoins, Paxful, and othersPeer-to-peer (P2P) trading platforms help bitcoin users coordinate trading bitcoin on a purely peer-to-peer basis.

When you buy bitcoin from the ATM, bitcoin is exchanged directly between the operator’s wallet and your personal wallet.

Purchasing bitcoin via voucher platforms like Azteco only allows you to buy bitcoin in smaller amounts.

Like cryptocurrency exchanges, proxies make attractive targets for attackers and are susceptible to many of the same security concerns.

Checkbook IRACheckbook IRAs are a subset of self-directed IRAs.

Formation and legal structureWhen forming a checkbook IRA, a self-directed IRA LLC is established first.

Many checkbook IRA facilitators are competent, but errors could always lead to issues and possible disqualification/loss of the entire IRA.

Prohibited transactionsAll self-directed IRA owners are always prohibited from commingling personal and IRA assets or using any personal funds to improve IRA assets.

If bitcoin appreciates like many investors hope and expect, holding coins in an IRA structure properly is of the utmost importance.

A new key, 4, has been generated and the goal is now to replace key 3 with key 4.

Once this new multisig wallet has been constructed, funds can then be sent from the old wallet (using signatures from keys 1 and 2) to the new multisig wallet.

In these scenarios, you should assume the key is compromised and you do need to replace this key in your multisig wallet.

You do need to replace the key in your multisig wallet, because a thief would only need to steal one more key in order to access your bitcoin.

Compromised hardware walletSimilarly to a compromised seed phrase, if your hardware wallet was lost or stolen, you’ll need to replace the associated key in your multisig wallet.

Losing your seed phraseLosing the seed phrase to a bitcoin wallet is one of the most common ways people lose access to their bitcoin.

If you ever lose the passphrase or remember it incorrectly, you will lose access to your bitcoin permanently.

Sending bitcoin to an incorrect addressIt’s possible to lose bitcoin by sending it to the wrong address.

Ultimately, they want to gain access to bitcoin wallets or request bitcoin be sent in exchange for fake services such as bitcoin trading.

Fake bitcoin walletsA fake bitcoin wallet is an elaborate swindle designed to have victims download a new wallet or “update” an existing wallet to a fake wallet created and controlled by a scammer.

Our platform is built to take full advantage of the Coldcard’s multisig features, and we’re pleased to support Coldcard’s air-gapped functionality.

A note about Concierge OnboardingBefore we get started, note that our Concierge team is available through the Concierge Onboarding package to walk you through every step of this process.

Things you’ll needThe Unchained Capital platform supports Coldcard models Mk2, Mk3, and Mk4.

If you’re using the Mk2 or Mk3 air-gapped, you’ll need to export this file to your MicroSD card.

– Jamie Dimon, CEO, JP Morgan Chase, Oct 11, 2021The bitcoin code uses a mix of consensus rules and simple math agreed upon by everyone who runs a bitcoin node to implicitly establish the limit.

Here’s the function in bitcoin’s code that determines block subsidy, called GetBlockSubsidy():This section of code defines the amount of the block subsidy and determines the schedule for its reduction over time.

CAmount GetBlockSubsidy (int nHeight, const Consensus::Params& consensusParams)This first line opens the function and specifies that what follows are the parameters for the block subsidy.

When new blocks append to bitcoin’s blockchain, it grows “taller.” As of this writing, bitcoin’s “block …

Understanding a little bit more about bitcoin UTXOs work can help you preserve your privacy and reduce the amount of bitcoin you spend on transaction fees.

You can make a deposit to a bitcoin wallet for 3.0610477 BTC, and upon doing so you would have a single UTXO existing in that denomination.

So why does it matter if you have one UTXO of 0.9 BTC or nine UTXOs of 0.1 BTC?

For any bitcoin transaction (or any transaction at all, for that matter) there are inputs and outputs.

The end result will be a single UTXO of 0.9 BTC sitting in your wallet (minus the transaction fees), without any bitcoin ever leaving your custody.

We’ll explain in detail how this works below, but at the time of this writing:There are just over 19,000,000 bitcoinMore bitcoin are added to the supply every ten minutes as part of a predefined issuance schedule, as explained belowNew bitcoin are issued until there are just under 21,000,000 (which is the limit)To see real-time data about the total number of bitcoin in existence, visit Clark Moody’s Bitcoin Dashboard.

Halvings were established in the bitcoin code as a way to gradually, predictably, and consistently issue bitcoin over time.

The 21 million limit is then implicitly defined as a result of the issuance schedule, not explicitly stated as a variable in the code:The fixed number of…

Empact, has been a contributor to Bitcoin Core since 2018, and a member of the Unchained Capital engineering team since 2021.

In this case, however, I was putting forward an entirely different approach, which was independent of the original pull request, so it made sense for it to be an independent pull request.

Pull request inclusion depends on the independent and subjective analysis of the many reviewers and few maintainers of the Bitcoin Core codebase.

Get startedI hope this brief story gave you a bit better understanding of the work that goes into Bitcoin Core, and how you might participate in it yourself.

Bitcoin Core depends on robust review to prevent accidental or intentional corrup…

This is Kevin’s story about leaving the traditional banking world to work full-time in bitcoin.

I didn’t initially plan to stay that long, and I always thought I’d leave after finishing school to do something more significant.

Many were just there for the paycheck and the benefits and would leave the instant something just marginally better came along.

I told the bank I wasn’t going to any other position and that I was ending my banking career.

Several months later, the timing of my exit from banking and entrance to bitcoin was finally in my hands.

If you’re wondering why you should run a bitcoin node yourself, there are many benefits to consider—both personally and for the security and resiliency of the bitcoin ecosystem.

Get local access to blockchain dataRunning your own node gives you better access to information about bitcoin and the bitcoin blockchain.

RPC ConsoleThe bitcoin node software includes something called the remote procedure call (RPC) console, which lets you retrieve blockchain data from your own node.

Full nodes can run with either a complete copy of the bitcoin blockchain (i.e., an archival node) or a partial copy of the blockchain (i.e., a pruned node).

A Lightning node is best run in tandem with a bitcoin archival…

It outlines: Why we started Unchained Capital, why the Work Group should prioritize the exploration of bitcoin, Texas’ leadership on bitcoin commerce, the importance of self-custody, and Texas’ inextricably linked strategic interests in energy and bitcoin mining.

Good morning, Madam Chair and members of the Texas Blockchain Work Group.

I am excited to share with you some thoughts and perspectives grown out of my six years working in the bitcoin industry.

As I’m sure the Work Group is aware, bitcoin mining is an energy-intensive industry that has recently exploded in Texas.

Therefore, an implication of bitcoin and energy being inextricably linked is that bitcoin and Texas’ strategic interest…

As far as we understand the situation, on the original ETHPoW chain, these funds will be lost forever if no hardfork occurs.

Firstly, one could argue that since the ETH supply is lower on the ETHPoW chain, this could boost the ETHPoW price.

Therefore, if you are a validator or own stETH, you may not do particularly well out of the ETHPoW chain.

Whatever your view on ETHPoW, surely you think the coin is a better bet than all the other ERC-20 coins on the ETHPoW chain?

Lets just think through some of the coins on Ethereum today:USDc on ETHPoW – Worthless because Circle will choose ETH2 and the coins will be therefore not be redeemable, as we discussed aboveUSDT on ETHPoW – Also worthlessWrapp…

Some Bitcoiners and Bitcoin developers simply did not want this type of activity on the Bitcoin blockchain and they successfully discouraged it.

More concisely, at the start Counterparty used the Bitcoin opcode OP_CHECKMULTISIG to include Counterparty related data into the Bitcoin blockchain.

The function can be used to burn Bitcoin or store arbitrary data in the Bitcoin blockchain.

I thought I and about a million others were owners 🙂PhantomPhreak, a Counterparty co-founder said:First of all, Counterparty transactions are financial transactions.

That is, transactions that accord to the Bitcoin protocol, which Counterparty transactions obviously do.

In this article, we attempt to design smart contracts encouraging miners to withhold a certain transaction, to better understand how practical such smart contracts are.

We call this, and other non-forcing ways to ignore a transaction, transaction withholdment (or TxWithhold), which should not be confused with (forced) censorship (although some research highlighted in Background would call this censorship).

Both MAD-HTLC and He-HTLC could be seen as a solution to the general withholdment smart contracts problem, although this is out of the scope of this article.

Smart Contracts for Bribing Miners shows how Ethereum’s proof-of-work mechanism could facilitate withholdment smart contracts.

We explain the mechanics of Taproot by walking through two example Taproot transactions on the Bitcoin mainnet, including spending Bitcoin sent to the same address in two different ways: i.

Generating a Taproot Address & Taproot Spending ConditionsThe first step involves generating a new wallet, which can be done using the GUI in Bitcoin Core.

For instance public key hash, witness public key hash or the one we are interested in today, Taproot.

While the concept of price of anarchy in selfish routing is well known, it seems not to map directly to the case of the Lightning Network.

This article makes an attempt to define the price of anarchy and network congestion in the context of the “depleting channel model” for the Lightning Network.

Thus we suggest defining the Price of Anarchy as the change in the shape of the distribution of expected channel drain arising from selfish routing strategies, in comparison to the shape of that distribution if payments were centrally planned in an optimal way.

Finally we propose to study and find the Nash equilibrium for the behavior and dominant strategies of nodes on the Lightning Network.

It is believed that 51 blocks were generated on the “bad chain” before the “good” chain retook the PoW lead.

The commit enforcing the 1MB rule occurred on 7 September 2010, activating at block 79,400.

No change in the consensus rules A chainsplit of at least 24 blocks occurred, with the 0.8.0 chain having a maximum lead of 13 blocks.

Softfork Softfork successfully activated with an 80% miner threshold over a 336-block period, although only a tiny minority of users enforced BIP91 rules, which have since expired.

Softfork Flag-day softfork appeared to succeed with no issues, although only a minority of users enforced BIP148 rules, which have since expired.

This chapter discusses open source software in the context of why it matters that Bitcoin software is open source.

But it also delves into the reason why even open source software doesn’t necessarily solve all software-specific trust issues.

Furthermore, even if the open source code is sound, this doesn’t guarantee that the binaries (computer code) really correspond with the open source code.

We’re calling it open source now because this group of people rebranded free software to open source (to prevent any confusion with beer).

Well, he knows the binaries reflect the open source code because he took the source code, ran a command, and got the binary.

And yes, we do think this shift will have a significant impact on financial conditions.

He questions the impact rate hikes to 2.5% may have on the economy and inflation.

In addition to this a rate rate increase from 0bps to 250bps is not the same thing as a rate increase from 250bps to 500bps.

Markets are structurally intolerant to nominally higher rates, regardless of what economic theory teaches one about the inflationary impact of negative real rates.

These highly financialised sectors and any businesses depending on them could be hit hard by tightening financial conditions.

Abstract: In this short and simple piece, we take a look at a list of the lowest block hash values in Bitcoin history.

We also compare the block hash values with the difficulty target and identify blocks where the block hash was lowest relative to the necessary target.

The below table (Figure 1), lists the ten lowest block hash values in Bitcoin’s history.

The block hash cannot be more than 100% lower than the target value, since the block hash value cannot be lower than zero.

The block at height 585,774 has the 2nd lowest ever block hash value, while also being the 6th largest beat.

In our report we break down address re-use, analysing how much of the re-use has occurred within the same transaction.

Address re-use is when Bitcoin is sent on the blockchain to an address which has previously received Bitcoin in the past.

In Ethereum, address re-use is unfortunately even more common and more revealing, although we will not address that in this report.

Figure 2 – Bitcoin address re-use by output count – 4,000 block windowsSource: BitMEX Research, https://oxt.me/chartsAddress re-use in the same transaction, broadly speaking, followed a similar pattern as total address re-use, perhaps around 6x lower in volume.

In particular, address re-use within the same transaction, which…

YoutubeMp3Today, I’m sitting down with Anish Agnihotri, who is a research associate and colleague of mine at Paradigm.

Anish has a fascinating backstory from becoming an entrepreneur at a really young age to later going deep into skin trading.

We discuss how that skill transfers to NFT trading and how we see the market structure of both primary and secondary markets for NFTs.

Finally, Anish shares some actionable advice on how he learns and how to build projects in crypto.

This was a deep and fascinating conversation and I hope you’ll enjoy it.

The Defi bull market, started by COMP liquidity mining in Summer 2020, has turned many Defi protocols into rapidly growing revenue monsters.

Native tokens are not assetsWhile Defi tokens are not considered equity in the legal sense, we can still learn from how traditional companies account for their shares.

We hope you see the connection to native tokens in DAO treasuries: these are the crypto-equivalent of authorized but unissued shares.

Real Defi treasuriesIgnoring authorized but unissued shares allows us to get a different, much more accurate picture of Defi treasuries.

MKR token price through this period averaged around $500.
