Annabelle Huang's journey into crypto and the story of building Altius
In an interesting conversation at the event in Seoul, Frederick and David invited Annabelle Huang, co-founder and CEO of Altius, to share about her journey into crypto, lessons from the market, and why she decided to build high-performance infrastructure for Web3.
From Wall Street to the world of DeFi
Annabelle previously worked in New York as a foreign exchange trader. During this time, she began to pay attention to Bitcoin and Ethereum, primarily as a type of asset to trade. She learned about Bitcoin during her university years at Carnegie Mellon, where students viewed Bitcoin as a technically-driven project about distributed systems and cryptography.

Altius: What are oracles in smart contracts and why are they important?
Oracles connect smart contracts with real-world data, enabling blockchain to operate flexibly and adaptively.
They exist in centralized, decentralized, and hybrid forms, each balancing speed, reliability, and security differently.
The core challenge lies in data integrity, resistance to manipulation, and integration within modular architecture.
What are blockchain oracles?
Blockchain oracle is a reliable third-party system that connects smart contracts with real-world data, allowing blockchain to interact with information outside the network. Since blockchain is designed with a priority on security and immutability, smart contracts cannot access off-chain data like APIs or databases on their own. Oracles address this blind spot by verifying and transmitting off-chain data to the blockchain. The information can range from market prices to weather to event outcomes.

When Gas is No Longer a Bottleneck: Towards the Era of Real-Time Blockchain
For over a decade, the Web3 community has battled the same enemy: latency.
Every confirm click, every block waiting to be mined, every node executing thousands of transactions sequentially – all create an experience alien to the real-time world that Web2 users are accustomed to.
Gas is a unit of measurement for computational effort, but in reality, it is also a psychological barrier.
Users learn to wait, developers learn to 'simplify logic', and projects learn to reduce on-chain.

Understanding Distributed Ledger through Altius's Perspective
Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) is one of the most significant advancements in the field of blockchain and decentralized systems. Many people often confuse DLT with blockchain, but in fact, blockchain is just a specific form of distributed ledger.
DLT is the foundation that allows data to be stored, verified, and shared transparently, securely, and without intermediaries. In this article, let's explore how DLT works, its differences from traditional databases, and why it is the backbone of Web3 and DeFi.

Altius and the wave of financial transition to on-chain
In recent years, the financial world has been witnessing a strong wave of transition: all trading, payment, and prediction activities are gradually moving on-chain. From trading, stablecoins to prediction markets, this trend is not just technology but also a revolution in how finance operates.
Traditional finance is moving to blockchain
Traditional finance (TradFi) processes trillions of USD in transactions every day.

Public and Private Blockchain: What is the Difference?
Summary / Key Points:
- Public blockchain is open, decentralized, and transparent – anyone can participate
- Private blockchain is permissioned and controlled by a group of organizations – offers speed and privacy but sacrifices decentralization
- Public blockchain excels in trustless systems like DeFi and NFT, while private blockchain is suitable for internal use cases within enterprises

Altius: Why adding hardware does not automatically make blockchain faster
In popular thinking, people believe that the performance of a system can simply be increased by adding more CPU cores or upgrading to stronger servers. This is true for some independent computational tasks, but when applied to blockchain, the reality is much more complex
However, what is the truth? Altius will clarify this issue
If the storage layer cannot keep up, adding computational power will not make sense

Annabelle Huang: Large organizations are embracing crypto – Technology must keep up
From Washington to Wall Street, crypto and blockchain are no longer a fringe experiment. Banks have tried sending money in the form of tokens, investment funds are launching digital asset products, and the government is beginning to draft regulatory laws. This is a good signal, but the technology needs to be strong enough to meet the demands.
The upcoming phase of crypto will no longer rely on flashy advertising or speculative frenzies. It will be determined by very practical numbers: processing speed, transaction certainty, and costs. Blockchain must be fast enough, stable, and economical for companies to see it as indispensable.

Altius explains: What are Proof of Work and Proof of Stake?
Blockchain technology has developed rapidly over the past decade, and the core of every blockchain network is the consensus mechanism: the process that helps verify and add transactions to the ledger. Two of the most discussed and widely implemented consensus models are Proof of Work and Proof of Stake.
Both secure the blockchain network, but the way they operate is completely different. Understanding this difference is very important for anyone interested in cryptocurrency, blockchain development, or the future of decentralized systems.

Altius - What are modular execution layers?
Summary
The execution layers separate the transaction processing tasks from data availability and consensus.
They allow the network to scale flexibly, optimize performance, and support multiple virtual machines (VMs).
Popular VMs include EVM and WASM, each having its own developer ecosystem and distinct capabilities.
The execution layers play a critical role in the rollup-centric and modular architecture, including solutions from Altius Labs.

How to choose long-term projects in crypto and why I trust Altius
Perhaps anyone among us who has stepped into the crypto market has gone through a similar phase: enjoying the quickness, eagerly watching token prices rise by several tens of percent overnight. That feeling is really exhilarating, just like winning the lottery. But after a few seasons of uptrend and downtrend, I realized one thing: most projects only survive by inflating the token, sooner or later, they will deflate.
I have seen quite a few projects start grandly, with massive media coverage, a vibrant community, and tokens increasing by several hundred percent. But then, a few months later, the TVL plummets, trading volume disappears, and the team gradually goes quiet. The only ones holding the tokens left are those who are at a loss. And I was once one of them.

Annabelle Huang: Execution is the biggest barrier to institutional blockchain
Fintech companies like Robinhood and Stripe are building their own blockchains as Wall Street begins to explore digital assets, but bottlenecks in execution remain a barrier to institutional adoption.
The new wave from fintechs
The financial services application Robinhood has recently announced the development of its own layer-2 blockchain to support tokenized stocks and real assets, while Stripe has also unveiled plans for Tempo, a payment-focused blockchain developed alongside Paradigm.

Altius: Modular Execution Layer – The Leap from Paint to Photoshop of Blockchain
Imagine you are painting with Paint. All the details, colors, and strokes are on a single layer. If you make a mistake, fixing it almost necessarily requires repainting the entire picture from scratch.
That is the situation of most blockchains today. Virtual machines (VMs) and execution layers are designed monolithically, tightly coupled with the underlying infrastructure. This leads to:
Difficult to scale: every time you want to increase performance, you have to touch the entire system.
