The features of Lens Network include high scalability, censorship resistance, and low cost. The next-generation Lens Protocol will become a cross-chain hub. To lay a scalable foundation for the social space of the future, Lens has chosen the technologically sound and forward-looking zkSync's ZK Stack to develop the new generation of Lens. This leverages account abstraction to enable gas-free and signature-free transactions, supporting embedded wallets to provide a seamless user experience.

The essence of seedless wallets lies in trading off higher security for user login convenience. Correspondingly, partial custody or smart contract social recovery is needed to address the risk of key loss. This article introduces several implementation methods for achieving seedless functionality, including MPC wallets, smart contract wallets, and Unipass' MPC+ smart wallet hybrid solution. Although smart contract wallets cannot directly achieve seedless functionality, their social recovery mechanism provides security for low-security key storage, aligning more with the decentralized values of Web3.

Thetanuts Finance is a decentralized multi-chain options protocol, focused on providing altcoin options, allowing users to go long or short. Since 2021, the protocol has been constantly developing and has launched a variety of products, including Basic Vaults, Stronghold index products, Long Vaults, Degen Vaults, and Wheel Vaults. The architecture of Thetanuts Finance v3 combines the existing Basic Vaults, lending markets, and Uniswap v3 pools, and introduces free market pricing. Additionally, Thetanuts Finance has also launched its governance token $NUTS to promote the protocol's decentralization, governance, and incentive mechanisms.

The Stacks project is undergoing a significant update called the "Nakamoto Upgrade" to enhance the performance and security of the Stacks chain, making it more like a Bitcoin Layer 2 (L2). The upgrade includes rapid block generation, transaction finality through Bitcoin, and improved MEV (Miner Extractable Value) resistance. Additionally, the introduction of sBTC will allow BTC to be used as a native asset on the Stacks chain, a crucial step towards establishing Stacks as a Bitcoin L2.

Surf Protocol is the first Bitcoin Layer-2 derivatives trading platform and the largest decentralized trading platform by volume in the BTC ecosystem. It offers leverage up to 50x, allowing users to trade with margin denominated in satoshis, while LPs can also provide trading collateral. Surf Protocol addresses liquidity issues and the risk of impermanent loss through its self-built oracle system and single-token staking liquidity pools, bringing innovative solutions to the Bitcoin Layer-2 ecosystem. Additionally, Surf Protocol has been selected for the Binance MVB accelerator, attracting a large number of traders and LPs, boosting the platform's trading volume and TVL growth.

The Stacks project is undergoing a major update called the "Nakamoto Upgrade," aimed at enhancing the performance and security of the Stacks chain, bringing it closer to being a Layer 2 (L2) for the Bitcoin network. The upgrade includes faster block generation, transaction finality achieved through Bitcoin, and improved MEV (Miner Extractable Value) resistance. Additionally, the introduction of sBTC will allow BTC to be used as a native asset on the Stacks chain, a crucial step towards realizing Stacks as a Bitcoin L2.

Unlike typical project introductions that provide brief token release diagrams, Eigenlayer has taken a deep dive into explaining the EIGEN token's role and its relationship with ETH tokens in a detailed and technical manner.

This article explores the potential impact of some innovative technologies on the performance of the TON network and how they might affect the TON staking reward system.

This article will provide an in-depth analysis of the key role of fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) and zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) in improving the privacy of blockchain applications. It will also highlight the significance of the future development potential of these technologies in the realm of blockchain data privacy.

Livepeer AI subnet is an innovative project launched by Livepeer, aiming to build the first decentralized video processing network with AI computing capabilities. As a decentralized live video streaming network protocol, Livepeer has been committed to providing blockchain-based, cost-effective solutions to replace traditional centralized broadcasts since its launch in 2017. The Livepeer AI subnet provides low-cost, high-performance processing services and solves the structural problems of centralized AI computing by leveraging Livepeer's thousands of GPU open networks. This article details the concept of the Livepeer AI subnet, how it works, why it was established, and how to participate in it.

Zero-knowledge proofs have the potential to create a more private and scalable blockchain ecosystem. However, many aspects of zero-knowledge are misunderstood or differ from commonly perceived implementations. This article analyzes ZKPs from two main perspectives: zero-knowledge and succinctness. When ZKPs and ZK rollups eventually mature technologically, they will certainly offer better solutions to address the blockchain trilemma.

Wormhole, a universal messaging protocol that employs externally validated cross-chain bridge solutions to achieve AMB (Arbitrary Message Bridge)

This article discusses how the decentralized features of Web3 can balance the centralization problem of AI, and proposes how to create new industrial value through Web3+AI in terms of computing power, data, platform, application, etc.

In the fast-paced Web3 market, mergers and acquisitions may become key strategies, but they should be avoided if used solely for price manipulation or risk evasion. Mainnet mergers offer benefits such as enhanced competitiveness, talent retention, and increased value expansion. With the continuous growth in the number of blockchain projects, only a few mainnets will eventually gain market favor. It is expected that frequent mergers and acquisitions will address deficiencies and strengthen advantages.

In 2024, Play-to-Earn (P2E) Web3 games continue to develop, using blockchain technology such as NFT and ERC20 Token to provide players with the opportunity to obtain real value such as cryptocurrency, Token or NFT through games. Game economics, DeFi and Token economics are the keys to building a successful P2E game, and together they create a well-designed financial ecosystem. Web3 games use ERC20 Token as the local currency, and NFT represents the ownership of in-game assets and is traded through the NFT market. In addition, the game also integrates concepts such as staking, liquidity mining, DAO governance and interoperability. The current popular Web3 games show a new trend, and some new games are attracting new Web3 users with the support of innovative ideas and venture capital.
