zkSharding aims to provide an alternative scaling solution by integrating multiple shards into a unified execution Layer2. This article introduces its features, architecture, and future plans.

Ethereum’s shift to a rollup-centric roadmap induced explosive growth in modular scaling designs, eliminating gas fees over $100 and unlocking new application designs. However, it also faces a new problem of state fragmentation. The article analyzes the two major directions of scaling and explores their mechanisms.

Discover how Nillion is revolutionizing secure data processing with advanced cryptographic techniques like MPC, FHE, and ZKP. Learn about its unique technologies, key components, and diverse applications across various industries.

The ZK coprocessor can be regarded as an off-chain computing plug-in derived from the modular concept. Its function is similar to the GPU in our traditional computers that shares graphics computing tasks for the CPU, that is, a processor that shares computing tasks in specific scenarios. . Under this design architecture, heavy data and complex calculation logic tasks that public chains are not good at can be calculated through the ZK coprocessor. The chain only needs to receive the returned calculation results, and its correctness is determined by ZK proof guarantees, and ultimately enables trusted off-chain calculations of complex tasks.

This article presents each project's core features, funding updates, airdrop distributions, and participation steps, aiming to provide users with the latest insights into the crypto market and help capture potential opportunities.

This article explains how to use proof of storage for information transmission and data processing, and applies it in areas such as cross-chain governance, cross-chain lending, and multi-chain oracles.

The ZK industry is evolving from a focus on infrastructure to a focus on ZKApps. Advances in cryptographic proof systems and decentralized proof infrastructure have made ZKApps faster and more cost-effective, bringing zero-knowledge technology closer to mainstream adoption. This article offers readers a comprehensive overview of ZKP and ZKApps, and explains why industry experts view ZK as a promising solution to the blockchain trilemma—balancing security, scalability, and decentralization without compromising security.

This article introduces "Fair Release" as a novel tokenomic model designed to address the issues of time-scheduled unlock mechanisms. It analyzes the economic and fairness flaws of scheduled unlocks and their negative impact on token prices and community trust. By releasing tokens based on market demand, the Fair Release model ensures fairness in token distribution and proposes three specific versions: the "Ponzi Version" for projects without revenue, the "HODL Version" for stable token prices, and the "Moonshot Version" that uses revenue to drive price growth, offering a sustainable solution for the crypto economy.

The article explores the current development of Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs) on the Solana blockchain, comparing their performance with the Ethereum market and analyzing the underlying reasons for these differences. It also examines how the Sanctum protocol addresses LST liquidity challenges through its Reserve, Router, and Infinity products. Additionally, the article predicts the impact of partnerships with top centralized exchanges on the Solana LST market and delves into how Sanctum promotes the application prospects of personalized LSTs, highlighting their potential value to the Solana ecosystem.

The article discusses the issue of limited blockchain processing capacity, introducing the design space of coprocessors and their potential use cases in decentralized applications.
