Comparative Analysis of Rollup SDKs and Recent Project Options(read more here)
Currently, there are two types of Rollup SDKs, ZK and OP, mainly based on Arbitrum Orbit, OP Stack, ZK Stack, and Polygon CDK. This article provides a comprehensive comparison and introduction of these four solutions. Among them, Polygon CDK has shown tremendous potential due to its scalability, security flexibility, and cost advantages.
How do layer 2s really differ from execution sharding? (read more here)
This raises a natural question: what is the difference between these two worlds? One answer is that the consequences of code bugs are different: in a rollup world, coins get lost, and in a shard chain world, you have consensus failures. But I expect that as protocol solidify, and as formal verification technology improves, the importance of bugs will decrease. So what are the differences between the two visions that we can expect will stick into the long term?
WHAT THE HECK IS CATVM? (read more here)
Taproot Wizards released a cartoon yesterday called CatVM. I will not refer to it as a whitepaper, those are real academic documents for adults. In the cartoon, interspersed amongst the absurd childish narratives, were a few valuable technical insights regarding different scaling proposals in the Bitcoin ecosystem. Of course, in true cartoon fashion, buried between wild exaggeration and embellishment.
A Zero Knowledge Paradigm: Part 1 - What is a zk-VM? (read more here)
In this article, we will cover the basics of a zero knowledge and zero knowledge virtual machines, provide a high level summary of the processes in a zkVM, and finish with a set of criteria for evaluating zkVMs. This is the part one of our three part series, outlined as follows:Part 1: What are zkVMs; Part 2: An In-depth look into zkVM Processes; Part 3: zkVM Design Tradeoffs.

Periodic Review of Blockchain Game Development (read more here)
Over the past 6 months, GLIF has been conducting R&D on advanced liquidation simulators to improve the protocol’s risk analysis algorithms and its capital efficiency. We’re proud to announce that GLIF’s V2 risk modeling algorithm is ready for mainnet! This blog post describes in detail the risk algorithm adjustments, and the new rules for Storage Providers.
Asset Risk Assessment: Ethena USDe (read more here)
Ethena's USDe, a synthetic dollar backed by delta-neutral positions on perpetual futures exchanges, was launched in February 2024 and reached over $2 billion in total value locked (TVL) less than 100 days later. This rapid expansion has made it the fastest-growing stablecoin in existence. However, this rapid growth also raises concerns about potential risks to USDe/sUSDe holders, liquidity providers, and other assets using it as collateral.

Some reflections on the Bitcoin block size war (read more here)
Bitcoin is not trying to compete with payment processors - there are lots of those already. Rather, Bitcoin is trying to be something much more unique and special: a completely new type of currency, free from the control of central organizations and central banks. If Bitcoin started to have a highly active governance structure (which would be required to navigate controversial adjustments to block size parameters), or became vulnerable to coordinated manipulation by miners, exchanges or other big companies, it would lose this precious unique advantage forever.
