For readers interested in the Ethereum ecosystem and open-source project financing, this article provides insights and strategies for understanding how to support and sustain innovative projects. The article not only analyzes various stages of project growth but also proposes solutions to promote the financing of public goods and the healthy development of the ecosystem, which has important reference value for investors, builders and policymakers.

RGB++ is a new asset trading protocol that combines the RGB protocol and a public chain that supports UTXO to achieve globally verifiable asset data storage. It sacrifices privacy but improves ease of use and is suitable for Defi scenarios. Users can directly operate RGB asset containers on UTXO chains such as CKB/Cardano in their Bitcoin accounts, or use the transaction folding function to reduce costs. However, it should be noted that isomorphic binding requires a public chain that supports the UTXO model.

The most important aspect of a staking project is undoubtedly security: clear and reliable project background, institutional endorsement, and low risk of exit scams. This article inventories hot projects in the Ethereum staking track.

The article deeply explores how Merlin Chain ensures the security of its US$3.5 billion funds. Merlin Chain adopts a multi-token staking Oracle node system to achieve decentralization and resistance to single points of failure. By sharing the data availability layer (DA layer) with Celestia, the openness, transparency and on-chain storage of data are ensured. In addition, Merlin Chain inherits the security of Bitcoin and submits the L2 data to the L1 Bitcoin for verification through the Taproot solution. To further enhance security, Merlin Chain has partnered with Cobo to use the MPC wallet solution to manage assets and ensure the safety of funds. At the same time, Merlin Chain has also joined forces with several security companies to establish the Merlin Security Committee and supports on-chain monitoring through third-party platforms to jointly ensure the safety of funds.

The intersection of blockchain and machine learning is close, but in decentralized reasoning, balancing cost and trust is a key challenge.

It’s more than just a buzzword however as modular infrastructure components can help solve the scaling bottleneck for blockchains by offloading certain components to specialized infrastructure.

LRT, standing for Liquid Restaking Tokens, can provide liquidity on centralized exchanges. Their trading prices are close to the exchange rate with ETH, but with a slight premium. The liquidity of LRTs is crucial as it affects the trust and transaction value of market participants. It is anticipated that liquid restaking will evolve into a winner-takes-all market structure, where liquidity begets more liquidity.

After the consensus algorithm, DA (data layer), and zero-knowledge proof technology have been widely studied and iterated, the next hard-core technology to attract attention is Parallel EVM. The capital market has also invested hundreds of millions of dollars in this narrative, and many unique technologies have been born. A beast-level startup.

Unlike general-purpose blockchains like Ethereum, which host thousands of applications, appchains are purpose-built for a single application. This model has already been widely adopted.

The article discusses the concept and development of Layer 3 in the Ethereum network. Layer 3 is built on top of Layer 2 scaling solutions, aiming to provide higher scalability, interoperability, and functionality. It may include specialized solutions such as cross-chain interoperability, microtransaction channels, privacy features, and complex smart contract operations. Although the implementation of Layer 3 is still in its early stages, it represents a pursuit of a decentralized, efficient, and inclusive future. The article also mentions criticism and concerns from Polygon Labs CEO Marc Boiron and Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin regarding Layer 3, emphasizing the need for careful consideration of its impact on network security, value, and sustainability.
