The blockchain landscape is more competitive than ever, with innovative projects and promising initiatives pushing directly against each other for public support and exposure. One such project, the Open Network (TON), is attempting to revitalize its ecosystem through a unique strategy: leveraging Telegram's "Gifts" feature as a gateway to NFTs....

The crypto universe has gone supernova, and by 2025, it’ll be an ever-expanding universe of stars. That means more opportunities, sure, but way more ways to screw things up, especially when choosing a crypto app. Consider it the Wild West, except instead of horses and six-shooters, we have algorithms and...

Can yield trading and farming really unlock a continent’s potential. That’s the million dollar question that is currently buzzing in my head after witnessing the dfdvSOL & RateX partnership. It's easy to get lost in the tech speak – LSTs, AMMs, yield tokens – but let's strip it back. This...
