The crypto world continues to evolve rapidly with the emergence of new projects bringing exciting innovations. One of them is Edgen Coin $EDGEN , the native token of the LayerEdge project, a decentralized verification network that combines zero-knowledge (ZK) technology with the security strength of the Bitcoin network.

🌐 What Is LayerEdge?
LayerEdge is a blockchain platform developing a ZK (zero-knowledge proofs) verification network. This technology allows transactions and computations to be conducted with high privacy, without needing to disclose all data to the public. Uniquely, LayerEdge integrates its system directly with the Bitcoin network, making it one of the few projects brave enough to anchor decentralized verification to the Bitcoin blockchain, rather than Ethereum like most others.

Overall Conclusion:
While Do Kwon’s legal case draws public attention as he is the founder of the ecosystem that created LUNA and LUNC, since 2022 $LUNC has become a community-driven coin that is no longer technically or operationally controlled by him or Terraform Labs.

If Do Kwon pleads not guilty, the impact on LUNC will likely be limited to short-term price fluctuations driven by market sentiment, without changing the project’s fundamentals.
If he pleads guilty, the effect could be slightly more negative for sentiment, but it still would not alter the technical aspects or development direction of LUNC.

In essence, Do Kwon’s current legal status affects investor perception more than the intrinsic value of $LUNC itself.

The creator $TAKER Makes NPOL Write DApps in the BTC Network — Who Is He?
The crypto world is shaken again by the emergence of a mysterious entity: NPOL, a technology for writing DApps (Decentralized Applications) on the Bitcoin network, which has long been considered a "rigid" blockchain for DApp innovation. Even more surprisingly, NPOL was developed by the creator of $Taker, a revolutionary project that is slowly shifting Ethereum's dominance in the world of smart contracts. So, who is the figure behind all this? Are we seeing the shadow of Satoshi Nakamoto reemerge?

$TAKER
NPOL engine, 🔒 Why Is This Important?
1. Ownership of innovation → first mover advantage
Like Ethereum with EVM, or Lido with liquid staking.
Taker has a strategic position as a pioneer of this staking + liquidity mechanism.
2. Uniqueness and exclusivity

Other projects may imitate Proof-of-Liquidity (PoL), but none have combined nomination + liquidity + chain consensus like Taker.
3. Branding and positioning

NPOL could become Taker's distinctive technology identity, like “Ouroboros” on Cardano or “Tendermint” on Cosmos.

$HMSTR
Recently, there has been a stir among users and holders of the HMSTR (Hamster Kombat) token. Many suddenly assumed that the project was a scam or fraud. However, this accusation stems from a misunderstanding, especially after the release of an article by the renowned crypto media outlet, Cointelegraph.
So, what really happened? Why is there so much confusion? And what does the Cointelegraph article actually say?
📌 Origin of the Misunderstanding
Cointelegraph published an article titled “10 Signs of Fake Airdrops and How to Avoid Them.” The article was intended to educate users so they don't fall victim to scams disguised as crypto airdrops.
Unfortunately, because the article was released around the same time as Hamster Kombat's rising popularity, many HMSTR token holders wrongly assumed that this project was included in the list of scams mentioned in the article.
🧠 Cointelegraph Did Not Mention Hamster Kombat It's important to emphasize:
✅ Cointelegraph never mentioned Hamster Kombat or HMSTR by name in the article.
✅ The article was not an accusation, but a general educational piece to encourage crypto users to be more cautious.
The article simply warns about common signs of fake airdrops, such as:
# Requesting private keys or seed phrases
# Asking for a fund transfer to claim rewards
# Using fake links to steal wallet data
# Promising rewards that are too good to be true

The key fact: Hamster Kombat does not do any of these things
✅ Facts About Hamster Kombat
To avoid further confusion, here are some key facts:
1. Free to Play
Users simply tap the screen and complete missions as a "Hamster CEO" without paying anything.
2. No Sensitive Data Requests
Hamster Kombat has never asked for your seed phrase, private key, or any sensitive wallet data.
3. Token Not Yet Released
The HMSTR token is still in preparation. It is not yet tradable or exchangeable, as it has not gone through the Token Generation Event (TGE).
4. Global Community Support
The game has been played by tens of millions of users worldwide, including in Indonesia.
5. Active Official Channels
The development team regularly shares updates through official platforms like Telegram, X (Twitter), and their official website.
🗣️ Why the Misunderstanding Spread
There are several reasons why this misunderstanding spread quickly:
Lack of education about crypto and Web3 project mechanisms
Irresponsible parties spreading hoaxes claiming Hamster Kombat is a scam
Users misreading the Cointelegraph article without understanding its full context
📣 Conclusion
Hamster Kombat (HMSTR) is not a scam project.
This is simply a case of misinformation after the release of an educational article by Cointelegraph that never once mentioned HMSTR.
Rather than accusing blindly, let’s stay wise and patient. This project is still in its early stages. Continue to follow updates from official sources and avoid spreading false information.
