Falcon Finance ($FF) restores Stability using USDf Synthetic Dollar Architecture
UDsf was designed as more than merely a stablecoin, which is the reason why @Falcon Finance developed a representation of a synthetic dollar whose stability and scalability are secured by a complex combination of market neutrality and collateralization. The idea’s development of a stablecoin has been changing greatly since the times of the crypto. Our first encounter was of the simplest fiat backed tokens where a dollar in a bank account equated a token in the blockchain. In line with this followed the algorithmic experiments which tended to prove disastrous. Falcon Finance presents USDf with a third generation strategy. It is not just a digital representation of a fiat currency and it is not a pure algorithmic bet. USDf is an artificial dollar, which is meant to act as a strong unit of account, which does not depend on banking rails but which is pegged rock solidly to the US dollar. The USDf architecture is developed on the assumption that decision supported by a wide basket of assets is the key to having a real decentralised money instead of one point of failure. To comprehend USDf, one has to initially get a hold of the two different minting systems that Falcon finance has come up with. The former is referred to as the Classic Mint. This technique is cost-efficient and fast. It serves customers with an already existing stable asset such as USDT or USDC. Once a user deposits such stablecoins in the Falcon Finance protocol they are able to mint USDf in a one to one ratio. This enables a smooth access to the ecosystem by individuals who are interested in simply consumption of the yield generating prospects without putting their money at the price volatility of a product such as Bitcoin or Ethereum. The Classic Mint guarantees that the system will have a minimum level of severe stable liquidity entering the system that serves as an anchor point to the entire protocol. The second mechanism is the Innovative Mint and it is here where Falcon Finance surely stands out among its competitors. The Innovative Mint enables users to deposit volatile assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum, or even some token version of real world assets such as corporate credit. This process does not issue USDf at one to one ratio as in the case of the Classic Mint. Rather it uses an overcollateralization model that is strict. In the event that a user deposits Bitcoin, he would only get a portion of such in USDf. This cushion provides a safeguard that shields the protocol against unfortunate market crashes. When the cost of Bitcoin is considerably inaccurate the protocol additionally has sufficient collateral to cover all USDfs present in the market. This is because this approach opens the liquidity of long term holders who desire to spend or invest without selling the underlying precious assets. The stability of USDf is also enhanced by how Falcon Finance avails these depositive assets. The protocol will not permit the collateral to idle in a smart contract. Rather it uses delta neutral hedging strategies. The protocol is able to open a short position in the derivatives market when a user deposits a volatile asset such as Ethereum to the protocol. This essentially nullifies the movement of the price of the asset. Assuming Ethereum appreciates the value of the collateral would increase whilst the short position would make a loss. Should Ethereum fall the collateral will lose its value but short position gains. The overall dollar value of the position would be the same. This ingenious construction enables USDf to remain pegged against the dollar no matter the situation in the crypto market whether it is on a bull run or a bear market. The other important element of the USDf architecture is that the stable token and the yield bearing token are separated. The storage of the USDf when in the possession of users is a stable store of value. But to realise the economic advantage of the protocol they are permitted to deposit USDf such that they will obtain sUSDf. This token is a portion of underlying protocol revenue. The Falcon Finance strategies increase the value of sUSDf against USDf as it makes profits on funding rates and lending markets the worth of sUSDf. This design option is intentional. It can enable USDf to be a just transactional currency that can be easily transferred and can be used to make payments with whereas sUSDf can serve as a savings account that appreciates over time. The fact that the real world assets are incorporated into the USDf backing introduces an additional level of strength. Accommodating tokenized treasury bills and high grade corporate credit Falcon Finance is able to diversify the risk of the reserves. The crypto markets could be strongly correlated such that the fall of Bitcoin affects most of the digital currencies. Real-life assets are not in sync with crypto market sentiment. The combination of these standard financial products in the collateral pool Falcon Finance makes sure that USDf is not relying only on the good performance of the crypto economy. This hybrid will place USDf in an intermediate between the crypto natives and institutional investors, a spot in which it can win the trust of both parties. The USDf infrastructure cannot afford to compromise the aspects of security and transparency. The protocol applies the use of independent custodians and multi party computation technology to secure the assets. This implies that there is no individual or institution who is in control of the funds. Moreover the protocol also serves to give real time proof of reserves. As any person can confirm by chain that the quantity of assets owned in the vault is greater than the quantity of USDf in circulation. This radical transparency overcomes this cynicism that has bedevilled other issuers of stablecoins that tend to be opaque about their holdings. Falcon Finance knows that trust is the best money in finance and therefore they gain it by working in the light. The process of redemption is meant to be as smooth as mint process. Unable to convert the user can always revert their USDf into the underlying assets with conditions of liquidity. The system has the priority of giving back the stablecoins to those who utilised the Classic Mint as the one who utilised the Innovative Mint will be in a position to take back the particular collateral after the payment of the minted USDf. Such flexibility will make certain that the users never get stuck in the system. They have the sovereignty over their assets and are able to leave the position at their will. This open door policy puts a healthy pressure on the protocol to achieve high performance and creatively work as a reliable protocol that can retain its user base. The falcon finance has also instated an insurance fund to provide USDf with an ultimate backstop. Part of the protocol charges are redirected into this fund that acts as a rainy day fund. In both the event of a disastrous market failure or in the event of a smart contract exploit that can be used to recapitalise this system and make users whole. This safety net that can be added is a characteristic that can be common in the traditional banking sphere and difficult to encounter with decentralised finance. It shows that the team takes user safety as its number one priority. USDf is useful outside its Falcon Finance platform. The token is intended as a primitive, which can be incorporated with other applications of decentralised finance. The USDf can also be used as the collateral in the lending protocols and as the quote currency in the trading platforms. The cross chain nature of the project implies that USDf can be expected to move around other blockchain networks freely. This interoperability enhances demand of the token as well as intensifying its liquidity. The larger the number of applications that integrate USDf, the deeper is its foundation in the larger crypto economy which makes it more stable and useful. The FF token holders conduct the governance of USDf. This communal driven strategy suffices to make sure that the parameters of the system transform in accordance with the requirements of the users. The holders of tokens are able to vote on what dispute should be included in the collateral type or the risk ratios with which a mint would be created. They also have the ability of determining the distribution of the yield produced by the protocol. This is democratic cheques and balances that ensure that the protocol does not turn into stagnancy or not in tandem with market realities. It makes the community own the currency that they are using and influence the further evolution. The liquidation being dealt with in the USDf mechanisms is among the most innovative parts of the mechanism. What is experienced during the liquidation of a traditional lending platform can be a bloodbath and an expensive exercise to the user. Falcon Finance uses soft liquidation mechanism as much as possible. As opposed to immediately selling off all the position of a user when the user falls below the collateral ratio that system can only liquidate part of it to restore the account to health. This ease of use strategy takes away the risk of complete losses and enables investors to come out of temporary market crashes. It is indicative of a philosophy which appreciates long term user retention as opposed to short term profit extraction. UDsf economic model has a scaled structure. With the rise in the demand of decentralised stablecoins Falcon Finance will be able to absorb billions of dollars of new liquidity. The infrastructure is even tested to withstand and to serve large amounts of transaction throughput and large capital inflows. The dependence on delta neutral approach implies that the protocol does not require identifying borrowers that would produce yield. The yield on the market comes as the natural inefficiency of the futures price. This scaling is one of its major benefits compared to the peer to peer lending models that are usually limited by a dearth of borrowing. Falcon Finance has developed a synthetic dollar that is taken to the main stage. USDf incorporates the most favourable aspects of crypto innovation and sound risk management of conventional finance. It provides a secure, scalable and stable medium of exchange that is supported by a stronghold of diversified assets. To the user it offers a means of making the value of their portfolio unlock without selling their potential potentially. To the industry it provides an outline of how to develop a decentralised currency that will be able to survive the test of time. $FF #FalconFinance
Plasma Unlocking the Fortress of the Bitcoin Security Piazza BitScaler Technology
This has always been the battle of the cryptocurrency landscape; between speed and security. Bitcoin is the invincible castle of the digital asset sector which has unparalleled security, decentralisation and speed which is at times too slow to be used in a novel financial context. At the other end of the spectrum we find high speed blockchains capable of processing thousands of transactions per second at the cost of decentralisation or security guarantees in order to do that. Such is the archetypal trilemma of blockchain developers, which has been faced by developers since the 1990s. Plasma has not only come into the scene but also to compete with the industry but also provide a clear-cut solution to the industry in the form of its proprietary innovation called BitScaler. It is a technology that can work wonders in sealing the divide between the speed needed to complete payments across the world and the unaltered speed of Bitcoin network security. It is a technological jump that predisposes Plasma as the ultimate layer in settlement of the digital economy. The BitScaler Bit-Engineering. The technological foundation that assists in making Plasma appear superior to the hundreds of other Layer 1 blockchains that exist in the market is BitScaler. BitScaler is fundamentally a complex anchoring system that entails a periodic commitment of the Plasma network to the Bitcoin blockchain.Although Plasma has its own high speed consensus system, called PlasmaBFT so that a transaction can be instantly validated it does not use only its own validators to ensure long term security. However, rather than recording every transaction history in the network, the network encrypts the entire transaction history and gives in a Bitcoin block. The effect of this process is the same as having a climber attached to a safe rope strapping it to a hard rock face on his/her way up. They are held by the climber even when they slip the anchor. When applied to Plasma, it is correct to say that as soon as a transaction is pegged upon the Bitcoin network it acquires all the security the Bitcoin network gives it. To undo or modify a transaction on the Plasma attacker would need to essentially take over the whole Bitcoin network which is economically and computationally impracticable. Such a two-levelled strategy gives the end user the user experience of a high performance blockchain, which is the future, but to sleep knowing they have a secure deposit on the most powerful computing network in history. Overcoming Finality Challenge. Finality is one of the most important concepts of blockchain security. Finality is a point in time when a transaction is deemed to be permanent and irreversible. On the Bitcoin network complete finality may require as many as an hour, and may require users to wait until various blocks are mined. Large quantities of the digital gold can be transported with this latency, but any cup of coffee or subscription service is completely inconvenient. Plasma addresses this by separating the rate of execution and security of settlement.5 Once a user makes a stablecoin payment on Plasma the transaction is validated immediately by the PlasmaBFT validators.6 This would provide instant access to the funds or goods by the user. BitScaler in the background is busy as a swarm to package these transactions and attach them to the Bitcoin.7 This forms the tiers level of security where day to day business transpires at the speed of light and the ultimate reality of the ledger is stored in the block of Bitcoins. This architecture is especially attractive to institutional investors who cannot be assured of ultimate settlement guarantees before they can take the risk of putting billions of dollars into a new network. BitScaler will provide that assurance without compelling them to make sacrifices in the efficiency of capital. Minimised bitcoin Bridging Trust
Nor is the innovation of BitScaler limited to the security anchoring, but points to an unhindered movement of value on the one hand to the other network. Traditionally transferring Bitcoin to other chains has been a centralised and risky undertaking that usually entails relied upon custodians or wrapped tokens that present substantial counterparty hazard. The plasma presents a trust minimised bridging solution that uses the BitScaler infrastructure to enable the safe minting of pBTC.It is a programmable form of Bitcoin that is present in the Plasma network. In contrast to the use of wrapped Bitcoin according to traditional methods, where centralised company is required to hold the underlying asset pBTC is pegged to a decentralised network of verifiers to cheque on the anchors of the BitScaler. When the user deposits Bitcoin to the Plasma vault the protocol will automatically confirm the transaction and mint the corresponding amount of pBTC on the Plasma chain. This enables Bitcoin holders to invest their idle assets at last in a fast speed DeFi environment. They may utilise their bitcoin as a security to take loans or lend their bitcoin to the trading pools and yield interest without having to sell the security properties they hold dearly. It is an excellent feature to open the trillions of dollars of unutilized capital in Bitcoin wallets and introduce it into the dynamic financial system of Plasma. Empowering the XPL Token The BitScaler technology has also been important in tokenomics and value accrual of the native XPL token. The functioning of the anchoring mechanism and the decentralised bridge should be in the framework of a powerful network of operators of nodes, who are provided with incentives to be honest. These operators are required to post XPL tokens to be involved in the BitScaler protocol.In case they post fake anchors or attempt to control the bridge reserves the staked XPL of such operators becomes punishable. This causes a powerful economic relationship between the safety of the Bitcoin bridge and the worth of the XPL token. With the increasing demand of the interoperability of Bitcoin as well as the bestowal of the value transports with the BitScaler bridge, the requirement of XPL staking will grow inherently. Also transaction charges earned due to bridging operations and expenses of sending anchors to the Bitcoin blockchain are charged in XPL. This makes sure that the token is not merely a speculative asset, but an essential utility required to be able to maintain this essential infrastructure. The prosperity of BitScaler is directly proportional to the vitality and viability of the XPL ecosystem developing a cycle of prosperity and safety. A New Era for Bitcoin DeFi The idea of Decentralised Finance has been, until recently, mostly restricted to Ethereum and similar other smart contract systems when Bitcoin has been left in isolation as a store of value. Plasma is a complete alteration of this storey, as they are considering Bitcoin as a first class citizen in its ecosystem. Elasticity of Plasma with the Ethereum Virtual Machine together with the BitScaler bridge implies that the developers will have an opportunity to deploy sophisticated financial applications that utilise Bitcoin as the asset of primary interest. We are already witnessing the beginning of lending markets where users can borrow stablecoins to their Bitcoin collateral with no interest at all or high leverage and low latency to trade Bitcoin derivatives. This combination introduces the Wall Street financial products with the decentralised Bitcoin world into the realm of sophistication. It enables long term holders to earn passive income on the stack without selling it ever again.11 This is a game changer to the market and makes Plasma the best place to go to in the case of Bitcoin native DeFi. The smooth user interface that only requires settups such as the use of complex wallet software or that of a third party that can easily lead to fraud is also accessible to a technical expert. Protection in Long Range attacks A theoretical vulnerability of Proof of Stake networks is the potential of long range attacks where a malicious party constructs another history of the blockchain at a far point in the past. Although the modern consensus algorithms have control measures to avoid this, BitScaler offers the final line of defence. Since the history of the Plasma chain is checkpointed on the Bitcoin a potential attacker cannot just re-write the history of the Plasma without re-writing the history of the Bitcoin. Bitcoin blockchain is everlasting and likely cannot be recreated since the use of exahashes to rewrite it is virtually impossible. This implies that the history of Plasma is as safe as the Bitcoin. This attribute is essential in a network with an intention to process international payments and corporate settlements. It also negates nothing at stake issue that critics use against Proof of Stake systems. With the help of the Proof of Work security of Bitcoin that gives the security to its own Proof of Stake consensus Plasma develops a hybrid system of security that is more efficient than either of these systems is operating independently. James Implication to Institutional Adoption Consumers in the financial sector have been keen on the development of the blockchain technology but have not been keen on its institutional adoption given the security and compliance fears. Asset managers and the banks are not able to afford losing the money of clients in the form of a hack or a network crash. The BitScaler technology is on top of these concerns by offering a security assurance that is intelligible and verifiable. Bitcoin is considered as a trustworthy asset class by already existing institutions. By assuming that trust, via BitScaler Plasma can prove an institutional grade financial product. Conventional fintech companies have shown interest in surrounding Plasma with payment rail because it provides the compliance friendly tools they require as well as the security they require. Being able to inspect the state of the chain using the Bitcoin blockchain provides an extra level of transparency that is crucial to regulatory reporting. This makes Plasma not only a crypto project but a point which connects the old financial system with a new one of digital money. Future Proofing the Network BitScaler is also a forward looking and adaptable design. With the development of Bitcoin network, upgrades such as Taproot or subsequent scripting enhancements BitScaler can be updated to take advantage of them. This will make Plasma be ahead of the interoperability technology. The team is now actively trying to apply Zero Knowledge proofs to compress the data anchored on Bitcoin further and this would lead to lower costs and higher efficiency. This dedication to everlasting enhancement is an indication that BitScaler is not a fixed attribute but a dynamic protocol and will evolve and change together with the rest of the crypto ecosystem. The idea is to ultimately ensure that the connexion between Plasma and Bitcoin becomes very fluid to the point that the users are not even conscious of them transferring between two networks. They will have nothing better than a quick safe and integrated financial space in which their finances are secure and transactions are immediate. Conclusion Plasma is disrupting the idea of what can be done in the blockchain environment by not exploring compromises on the security issue in favour of a speedy solution.The BitScaler technology can be seen as a testament to the resourcefulness of the team and its knowledge of the principles of cryptocurrency well-founded. The roots of anchoring to the Bitcoin Plasma gives the company the best of the two worlds with a high performance payment system placed at the skyscraper on the strength of the invincibility of digital gold. Plasma is likely to become a leading Layer 1 blockchain as the ecosystem grows and additional users realise the potential of pBTC and the stability of the BitScaler bridge that we will be able to rely on. To the XPL holders, this technology is the foundation of their investment since their network will be safe to be decentralised and be valuable over many years. The combination of Bitcoin security and Plasma speed is the event that has to trigger the reason why cryptocurrency is coming to the masses finally. @Plasma $XPL #Plasma
LINEA:The Builder Canvas How Type 2 Equivalence Makes Builders Competent without Compromise
The development of the decentralised web has never been conducted without the developers of the applications that are used by millions of people. Such constructors have had a tough decision to make concerning what platform to use in their work. They can develop on Ethereum Mainnet where the protocol and tooling is outstanding but the prices are too high to many users. Otherwise they may switch to alternative Layer 1 blockchains or initial Layer 2 networks which were fast, but with new programming languages or poor developer tooling. This disintegration caused a drag that reduced the rate of innovation in the whole industry. Linea has become the ultimate solution to this issue because it provides an experience as a developer that is indistinguishable to Ethereum itself. The network is meant to be a canvas upon which developers can plug in their already existing code and have access to the enormous scalability of zero knowledge proofs. The strategy values the time and spirit of the developer community, as it addresses them on their level as opposed to making them change and adjust to a new paradigm. The Real Point of EVM Equivalence The relationship between the scaling solution and the Ethereum Virtual Machine or EVM is the most essential attribute of any scaling solution. Lots of networks are being billed as EVM compatible but it usually has all sorts of qualifiers. Compatibility normally implies that the network has the ability to interpret the Solidity code but some operations or opcodes may not act in the same way. This causes the developers to audit their code to the new chain and re-write parts that are not in support. Linea does not just pass the compatibility test but also passes the Type 2 EVM equivalence test. It is a technical name that indicates that the Linea network appears and acts like Ethereum at the level of a language. An Ethereum-based smart contract will have the same logic and security assumptions whenever run on Linea. This enables developers to implement large and complex protocols such as Uniswap or Aave to Linea within hours and not months. The migration friction is literally brought to zero. The finding of this equivalence has been achieved by taking years of engineering work to make sure that the zero knowledge prover is able to perform all individual opcodes of the Ethereum Yellow Paper. The ConsenSys Tooling Advantage Linea also has an undue advantage in the market, as it is an incubated business of ConsenSys. The task that this company does is to develop the most popular and most important developer tools in the whole ecosystem. Majority of Ethereum developers use MetaMask to interact with a wallet and Infura to provide infrastructure of a node and Toffle or Hardhat to test a smart contract. This whole range of products is natively integrated with linea. In most cases when a developer opens MetaMask to test an application the default network MetaMask has set up Linea as a default network or can be done in one click. Using Infura to deploy a contract a developer has access to sturdy Linea endpoints that provide the same reliability as Ethereum mainnet endpoints. This elaborate vertical integration precludes the search by developers to find vendors of reliable remote procedure call services or to set up esoteric network parameters. The environment is plug and play in its first instance. Such support enables the builders to be able to concentrate on the application logic and not on infrastructure issues. Streamlining Gas estimation to Builders Transaction fees are one of the most complicated points in building on a Layer 2 rollup. There are two kinds of costs incurred when transacting on a rollup. The former is the expense of the execution of the computations on the Layer 2 network itself. Secondly is the price of transmitting the transaction data to the Ethereum network layer one. The developers in other chains consider it a nightmare since the cost of data in Layer 1 is constantly changing making it hard to compute these costs accurately. Linea has overcome this pain point by applying a particular API technique called linea estimateGas. This tool enables the developers to obtain an accurate estimate of cost of the wholesome fee within a single call. The API arrives at the execution cost as well as the data availability cost back in the background and leaves one value that guarantees the transaction to be mined. This makes user interface code that is generated much easier since the developer will not have to create intricate logic to query various networks. It will make sure that it will not charge users excessively on gas and also stop transaction failure because of under-paying. This consideration of the small aspects of the developer experience shows that Linea is made by software developers that are themselves software developers. Security as a Programming Language Characteristic Security is usually considered as a benefit to the user but it also matters to the developers. Financial applications in which a team develops are concerned with the security of user funds. Creation of a network whose security assumptions are weak brings a liability that can ruin a project. $LINEA offers cryptographic finality to developers, which gives them the pleasure of peace of mind. The developers of the high frequency trading or game platforms require being aware that a transaction is in as soon an informal message as possible. The Linea zero knowledge proof architecture means that once a state transition passes on Ethereum there is no way to reverse it. This enables the developers to develop applications that settle quickly without the fear of the seven day fraud proof windows that go along with optimistic rollup. These applications are also further future proofed against the possible threats of quantum computing with the use of lattice based cryptography. The formidable security model implies that the makers of this model can offer their usage assurances of safety which is not only economically supposed but mathematically proven. The Power of Composability Decentralised finance can be performed through composability that is the capability of various applications to engage with one another as building blocks, which is the real magic of decentralised finance. The developer would be able to create a yield aggregator that would draw information out of a decentralised exchange and a lending protocol at the same time. This necessitates the use of all these applications being in one environment and language. Since it is wholly EVM equivalent, Linea comes with the huge library of available open source code. The developer will be able to fork an already existing open source protocol and use it on Linea as a building block upon which other applications will run. This has resulted to an explosion of the ecosystem in rapid fashion with new projects being placed on the shoulders of giants. The line effect is immediate, since the value of each additional tool, or protocol, made with Linea, is added to the value of all the other applications on the network. This is an ecosystem that gives rise to innovations in which an individual developer can develop a sophisticated financial product through the efforts of the whole community. Investing in Next Gen Builders In order to make an ecosystem flourish, you just need technology. In the development of open source software, developers require resources and funding that will allow them to spend their time developing open source software. The ecosystem fund that is operated by the Linea Consortium has allocated an enormous amount of its token supply. It is a fund that grants developers who are developing significant infrastructures and state goods and new applications. The procedures of the grant are supposed to be meritocratic and transparent. It will reward teams who are making actual value to the network as opposed to those who are merely putting up with hype. There is no dominance of venture capital in the token distribution and this implies the incentives are in line with the builders. The community constructs a network, which owns it. This will breed a culture of cooperation in which the developers will be motivated to assist one another and share resources. The Linea team participates in developer community by hackathons and workshops as well as technical support by making sure that all builders have the tools they need to succeed. The Final destiny of Ethereum Code The final vision of Linea is to be a natural successor of Ethereum. It is not attempting at being a variant blockchain and having variant rules. It attempts to be Ethereum but of indefinite scale. This is to say that to a developer, there is no difference in learning linea and Ethereum. The codifying code of evil is reusable and the skills are transferable and the philosophy is the same. No vendor lock puts a developer in a proprietary ecosystem. When a developer writes that Linea he is writing that EVM standard code. This freedom is empowering. It implies that Linea is required to operate based on its performance and reliability and support instead of walling developers into a walled garden. This strategy is effective as evidenced by its rapid migration of the major protocols to Linea. Submersible developers are voting using their code and they are selecting the platform that provides the way of least resistance and the most growth opportunities possible. Linea is that platform. It is the canvas upon which the next generation of decentralised applications is going to be painted and it is poised to get the world building. #Linea @Linea.eth
KITE Redraws the Consensus Decrees with Evidence of AI
The development of the blockchain technology has been mostly characterised by the processes backing the agreement and safe networks. We started with Proof of Work that is energy intensive and brute force that fulfilled its purpose to usher in the crypto revolution but much to be desired regarding efficiency and environmental impact. Then followed Proof of Stake that exchanged the direct energy with capital dedication and provided a more scalable and quicker approach to decentralised finance. But as we move into the era of self determining machines neither introductory model makes the custom-made requirements of an economy powered by artificial intelligence. KITE has brought a paradigm shift via the proprietary Proof of Artificial Intelligence consensus mechanism a complex system that is intended to reward and certify beneficial computational labour and not just puzzle solving or passive capital growth. This invention makes KITE not only a book on financial operations, but also a register of world contribution to knowledge and digital work.
The underlying issue that KITE manages to solve is the lack of transparency of the AI supply chain as it is. The old web ecosystem has various disparate entities involved in creating an intelligent service but value is usually captured by the central part of what is usually the entity producing the final model. Curators of high quality datasets (data scientists), designers of effective algorithms and hardware providers (model architects), and providers of the required compute power (data scientists) frequently can not receive equitable recognition and reward on their individual contributions. Evidence of Artificial Intelligence resolves this by proposing a granular system of on chain attribution, which is used to trace the provenance of all intelligent outputs produced within the network. In a transaction where an agent on KITE blockchain executes a task or provides an insight that is based on the consensus protocol advanced algorithmic scoring to identify which underlying resources led to that result, and rewards the results.
The model is based on the idea of cooperative game theory called marginal contribution scoring that is commonly used by this consensus model by means of approaches resembling Shapley values. This would be in simple terms finding out the marginal value additives that each of the participants add to the final outcome. In case a particular dataset by far contributes to more accurate prediction of a model, the larger portion of the reward will be given to the data provider. There is also the event that a data source contributes noise or redundancy to the overall contribution of the data the data source would be compensated lightly or not at all. This provides a strong economic motivator toward quality rather than quantity and this in effect can sieve out low utility inputs without a central gatekeeper. The network itself turns into a meritocratic market wherein it is the invisible hand of the algorithm that upsurges the most useful intelligence to the top.
Security implications of Proof of Artificial Intelligence are also far-reaching since the security of the network is as well harmonised with the usefulness of the services that the network renders. In a Proof of work the miners are encouraged to waste electricity by making useless computations that are not in themselves useful beyond the achieved chain security. The KITE ecosystem works together with computational validators to generate former economic value to the users. Validators are not merely verifying transaction signatures they are also executing inference tasks and verifying the results of AI models in order to make sure that they have not been modified or damaged. This two-fold use design implies that the amount of energy and hardware used to ensure the security of KITE can also be used to power the next generation of decentralised applications, as well as, transform the network into one of the most effective and efficient computational machines in the world.
Among the most thrilling issues related to this technology is the fact that it makes the AI economy more accessible to smaller contributors who had no previously feasible method of financializing their assets. A scientist at a university lab who comes up with a new method of optimization is able to submit it to the KITE network, and receive a royalty each time it is invoked by an agent to accelerate a computation. Likewise a photographer who has developed a specialised set of images can tokenize it on KITE and is paid micropayments each time it is used by a generative art model to train or get a reference. This splinter the silos that currently define the AI-based sphere and create the climate of cooperation and a place where innovation can multiply exponentially. This is done using the blockchain as a standard API that interconnects all these inputs and the Proof of Artificial Intelligence consensus that the trust that is needed to establish this relationship is embedded in the protocol layer itself.
Introduced through the implementation of this consensus mechanism, a new type of resistance against adversarial attacks that plague other AI systems is also introduced. Making cryptographic evidence of the computational trajectory trodden to arrive at a decision compel malicious actors makes it incredibly complex to introduce poisonous data or discrimination models into the ecosystem by KITE. Each inference query is provable and the consensus nodes efficiently audit the process of reasonable thought of the AI agents deployed on the chain. This transparency is essential in high stakes applications like autonomous finance or medical diagnosis, in which the users would be aware that the AI that makes a decision is operating on sound data and sound logic. The network forms an unalterable intelligence audit trail used as the gold standard of accountability in the automated world.
As the network obtains a mature condition KITE consensus mechanism should also be tailored and able to include other methods of measuring and validating intelligence. The zero knowledge proofs can be added to the blockchain since it has the modular architecture and will allow the agents to demonstrate that they made a calculation and did it correctly without exposing the sensitive information to the process. This will be necessary to maintain privacy in open network and it opens up the path to adoption within an enterprise whereby business secrets and personal data need to be maintained. The Proof of Artificial Intelligence is thus not a fixed set of rules but a breathing structure that is evolving in line with the technological edge and making sure KITE is on the edge of the crypto and AI innovation.
The economic paradigm that Proof of Artificial Intelligence is based on also creates deflationary pressure on the KITE token that is directly correlated to the usage of the network. The more agents are introduced into the ecosystem, the more the demand of verified intelligence, the higher the number of tokens is spent on the services of the computation of resources and attribution tracking. Some of these fees are sometimes burned or locked up preventing the circulating supply leading to the reward of long term holders that maintain the network infrastructure. This makes it sustainable in that the health and safety of the blockchain is directly reflected by the success of AI services that will be based on KITE. It is the system in which the development of digital intelligence is making the community that supports it become richer.
Developers that are developing on the KITE have discovered that this mechanism of consensus can ease the challenges of developing decentralised AI applications. Rather, than being forced to construct their own payment rails and reputation regimes they can use the inherent properties of the chain to do attribution and settlement. This will enable them to concentrate on the logic of their agents and the user experience but leave the economic plumbing to the solid infrastructure of KITE. What emerges is an ecosystem of dApps that is vibrant and has quicker time to market and cost-efficient when compared to web2. Whether it is autonomous autonomous hedge funds or decentralised media platforms the uses of Proof of Artificial Intelligence is demonstrating that blockchain is not only compatible with AI but is actually heading to the intersection between the pair.
KITE has done a successful job reversing the idea of mining and making it a worthwhile activity which positively impacts the community. The world is leaving behind the days of hash mining and stepping into the days of intellectual mining. The new custodians of digital knowledge are the validators on the KITE network and they are developing a library of a verifiable truth to be accessed by all people. This change is far-reaching in the way that we appreciate digital assets and it makes KITE the epicentre of the debate on the future of work and automation. In establishing that a decentralised system is achievable and that the intellectual contribution can fairly be compensated KITE is establishing a new precedence to the digital economy.
The winning of the Proof of Artificial Intelligence will probably trigger another wave of blockchain research extending the concept of ordering transactions and discussing the validation of more complex calculations. KITE is at the forefront of this and it is showing that a blockchain can have some level of intelligence to know what it is securing. Such is the era of the cognitive blockchain and it is sure to open a vein of economic efficiency and innovation never before thought possible. @KITE AI #kite $KITE
KITE Unleashes the Objective of Autonomous Artificial Intelligence on Blockchain
The digital world is nearly on the verge of a historic transformation at the edges of artificial intelligence and decentralised finance start to cross in a manner never seen before. @KITE AI has become a game changer in the new terrain and it has the potential to transform our perception of the relationship between machine intelligence and economic value. This project is more of an extension into an overcrowded cryptocurrency market than an essential reconsideration of blockchain infrastructure built to suit the emerging agentic economy. The KITE is based on the core of establishing a Layer One blockchain specifically designed to meet the requirements of autonomous AI agents. These digital beings are quickly transforming into more than a simple chatbots to a multilays decision making entity with ability to execute and manage resources without the human involvement on a regular basis. The existing blockchain system was designed, in most cases, looking at human users and does not provide the speed and efficiency needed to support machine to machine interactions on large scale. KITE fills this important gap and offers a high performance framework within which AI agents are able to run in terms of verifiable identity and financial sovereignty. The technological structure of $KITE makes it stand out of the previous networks, which are hard pressed to meet the demands of artificial intelligence that require frequent trading and exchange of information at high frequency. The Proof of Artificial Intelligence consensus mechanism is the core of this innovation that is a new variant that authenticates the transactions by the computation contributions of AI models but not by just using energy consumption or staking tokens. This system guarantees that the network is not compromised and it actively motivates development of intelligent services in the ecosystem. This has far-reaching consequences due to the fact that it turns blockchain into not a passive ledger but an active component of computation economy. Agents that not only do but also earn and spend value in a trustless environment can now be deployed by developers and data scientists. This function opens up a limitless collection of applications which prior to this time had been hypothetical and opens an imminent day when computer programmes may be able to arrange intricate contracts and resolve payments in real-time. The absence of an effective identity architecture of non human actors has been one of the greatest obstructions to the implementation of AI in the blockchain sector. KITE addresses this issue by providing a complex 3 tiered user identity system that decouples user privileged and agent actions as well as session privileges. By making this granular control, a human owner can assign particular rights to an AI agent without disclosing his/her master private keys or endangering his/her entire portfolio. An agent may be given a fixed amount of money to spend during a certain period of time or a job and this provides a safe working environment among autonomous activities. The architecture is essential in the development of decentralised applications in which there are multiple agents required to cooperate or compete to accomplish a goal. An example of a personal assistant bot is one that is able to negotiate with data storage or compute power on behalf of its user and autonomously arrive at an optimal price due to having a distinct on chain identity and reputation and transaction history. The KITE system of making payments is also pioneering and it brings the x402 protocol that will allow machines to communicate with each other without friction in case of sending micropayments. The speed or cost of traditional payment rails are usually not fast enough or cheap enough to process the micro transactions characteristics of AI interactions where agents may be required to pay fractions of a cent per piece of data or milliseconds of processing time. The x402 protocol uses state channels to allow near-instant settlement with insignificant fee and this makes it economically viable to allow the agents to stream the value on the fly as they work. This is a powerful way to tokenize the flow of intelligence and can put together frowned-up markets of all sizes such as highly monetized datasets and algorithms. It imagines a scenario where knowledge and compute are commoditized just like electricity and KITE becomes the universal grid which would unify these resources. The tokenomics is at the centre of the KITE ecosystem and the token native is the fuel that drives this complex machine economy. KITE is a token that is used to pay transaction fees and it gives the holders the ability to govern the protocol. This guarantees the developers / users community control of the future direction of the network and harmonisation of incentives amongst all participants. The amount being supplied of the token is capped to avoid inflation and is availed via a smartly planned scheme of incentives that reimburses those that contribute early and those that have to invest long term. The demand of the AI services would increase, and so would be the demand of KITE token as it is the sole medium of exchange accepted in exchanging the core services on the network. This direct connexion of the utility and the value of the network generates a powerful economic feedback loop which helps to sustain the project. The massive nature of the vision KITE has can be attested by the soundness of its roadmap which provides a clear route to how the initial infrastructure will lead to the mass adoption. Their emphasis has been put on the interoperability a lot of the team ensures that the KITE blockchain can interface with other major networks with ease; Ethereum and Solana. It enables the developer to exploit the available assets and liquidity, and exploit the specialty features brought about by KITE. An essential part of the project is also the significance of developer tools and it has detailed software development kits that enable one to effortlessly create and employ AI agents throughout the network. With the barrier to entry reduced KITE will be able to attract a world wide audience of innovators to create the next generation of decentralised apps. Such applications might span between autonomous hedge funds that are fully controlled by AI and marketplaces that are decentralised and agents buy and sell digital goods and services without human participants. Security is a core issue in an ecosystem that consists of self-containing software and KITE has put very strict controls on ensuring the safety of the users and integrity of the system. The blockchain is also designed in a modular format that enables the separation of various components and therefore the infestation of a flaw in one aspect does not affect the whole system. In addition, the use of verifiable credentials will ensure that all the agents on the network can authenticate their identity and validity of their code prior to being allowed to transact. This forms a network of trust which is required in smooth running of an automated economy. Dispute resolution mechanisms are also implemented in the network and the network is a safety net to the users should there be malicious acts or software malfunctioning. These characteristics portray a grown attitude towards system design which provides system reliability and safety in conjunction with innovation and speed. The possible value of KITE is much deeper than the crypto niche and it relates to the future of the internet and the world economy altogether. Artificial intelligence will increasingly need a financial layer as it becomes more pervasive to be functional and decentralised, which will not rely on a systemic gatekeeper. KITE is the neutral financial layer which it is and it provides a decentralised version of the walled gardens of the big tech nations. This open infrastructure enables the smaller developers and startups to play on a level field and it creates a culture of collaboration and open source innovation. The future of the project is a world in which billions of autonomous agents exist and which are tirelessly striving to fulfil the needs of humans and KITE offers the plumbing that allows this situation to happen. The KITE has risen with great pace due to community involvement community has developed dynamic ecosystem of supporters and contributors. The release of the token was highly hyped and it indicated that there is a robust market out there willing to take projects that will help bridge the AI and crypto gap. The team is not passive as it interacts with the community in different ways, as well as they constantly revise the roadmap relying on the feedback and the technological progress. This responsive mentality has assisted in developing trust and loyalty among the early adopters who perceive themselves as not just being investors but actively engaged in the creation of a new digital frontier. The project also implements a range of grant programmes to finance good ideas and this makes sure that the ecosystem is in a constant expansion and growth. It is premature yet @KITE AI is laying the very concrete foundation on which the concept of the agentic economy will be established. We are entering an era where your e-wallet would not just store cash but it would also manage a group of smart software robots to do your job even as you sleep. Such agents will be capable of investing your money and handling your data and even negotiating on your behalf and such will all be being done using the safe and transparent rails that KITE will offer. This development is a radical enhancement to blockchain technology features and it transforms the industry off the elementary value transfer to sophisticated automation of the economic action. KITE network is intended to be the operating system of this new reality and it provides the speed and flexibility and security needed to support a network of autonomous intelligence all over the world. KITE is drawing close attention by investors and technologists alike since it is a joining of the two most transformational technologies of the age. The synergy between the blockchain verification and trustless and the generative ability of artificial intelligence is greater than that of either solution individually. KITE takes advantage of such kind of synergy to build a platform that is strong and available and that it opens up new paths to wealth creation and technological development. The project will ultimately succeed in its capacity to implement the ambitious roadmap and to remain appealing to high level of talent to be integrated into its development industry. There are however encouraging signs in the first and the technological basis is pertinent to a real market need that is set to increase in the years to come. The emergence of KITE also reflects on the maturing of the cryptocurrency marketplace in which electrical uses are becoming more assessed by their practical use and as well as technological significance as opposed to their hype and fame. The AI industry is frequently strategic, but it is evident that the problem-solving aspect of the field is focused on infrastructure in particular and is well-integrated with appropriate solutions to specific issues. This can be seen as having created a niche that, though it cannot entirely protect it against the ups and downs of the overall market, puts KITE in a unique position of being the critical infrastructure to the next wave of digital innovation. The need of AI compute and coordination is a secular trend that is not about to pull back and KITE is best placed to cash in to value the long term growth. When considering the future we can only assume that the marriage between AI and blockchain will become one of trends of the forthcoming decade. KITE is a leader in this movement and it promotes the vision of the future in which technology can benefit humanity using decentralised and autonomous systems. It provokes us to question what we think is possible in the project and it asks us to engage in the development of a more open and smarter digital economy. The path of KITE is only starting and the motivation of the direction is obvious and the destination will be nothing less than transformative to the entire digital world. The storey of KITE is a storey about empowerment and it provides the developers with the means to create the impossible and it provides the user with the ability to make their digital lives their own. KITE is the new pipelines in a world that data is the new oil and that individuals need to refineries that give them value out of their own information. It projects the essence of the initial philosophy of the blockchain movement that is to decentralise authority and provide a fairer system to all. When applied to the sphere of artificial intelligence KITE makes sure that the positive sides of the AI revolution can be shared among one another instead of being accumulated by several individuals. This is what KITE promises and this promise is very fast beginning to materialise as the network develops and evolves. @KITE AI #KİTE $KITE
Falcon Finance ($FF) Unlocked: Future of Real World Assets and Synthetic Dollars
Falcon Finance is filling the void between the blockchain revolution and traditional finance by introducing the USDf stablecoin and the powerful $FF governance token. The cryptocurrency is said to be in a wild frontier where fast and innovation collide with instability and irregularity. In this fast changing environment, Falcon Finance has come up to provide a stabiliser effect that provides a complex infrastructure of universal collateralization. It is not any other decentralised finance protocol, but an ecosystem, which is aimed at unlocking liquidity of a broad range of assets. Falcon Finance is changing the game of engaging with digital value by enabling users to save Bitcoin and Ethereum in addition to tokenized real world value, such as corporate credit and treasury bills. The FF token is the key of governance and the major utility tool of the whole platform: this is the centrepiece of this ecosystem. In the essence, Falcon Finance is a solution to the severe market failure that exists in the present-day market. diverse assets are simply held by owners without producing value to them by way of yield and liquidity. An example of a user with Bitcoin or Solana who needs a stable value regardless of whether he or she sells its positions may desire to do so. Falcon Finance unlike other platforms does not allow their users to lend or borrow, but instead, they are allowed to mint USDf. It is an artificial dollar based on the US dollar, which is supported by a portfolio of diverse collateral assets. The novelty of this is the variety of such collateral. In contrast to the initial standards which based their operation only on volatile crypto, Falcon Finance establishes the stability and scalability with the stablecoins and tokenizing of real world assets. This multi asset strategy greatly eliminates the consequences of liquidation cascades which has been experienced on other projects previously. FF token is critical in ensuring health and course of this system. It is not a hypothetical asset but an agent of involvement. Fee owners of FF are in control of protocol voting on key decisions including the type of collateral and upgrades to the protocol. This decentralised form of governance makes sure that community is given a personal influence on the future of the project. In addition, the token is entrusted with the reward systems of the platform. However, rewarding the stakeholders of their FF tokens can unlock special features and offer rewards to its users. This establishes such a strong incentive convergence within which the token holders who have a vested interest in the growth of the protocol over the long term gain directly the success of the protocol. Falcon Finance takes a bold step towards integrating real world assets and this can be perceived as one of the strongest points of the company. The protocol has just caused ripples through the inclusion of JAAA that is a high quality tokenized tranche of corporate assets and secure its use as collateral in minting USDf. This step is an indicator of a significant transition to institutional grade finance on the blockchain. Falcon Finance will also lessen the effects of the cyclic nature of the crypto market because it is able to accept assets which have inherent value in the traditional economy. This proposal will ensure that USDf is a stronger store of value and that the FF token becomes a portal to a hybrid financial system whereby the boundaries between on chain and off chain assets are unclear. The financial structure of the FF token is developed in a manner that inclines towards sustainability. The project is finite in its total supply (ten billion tokens) so it does not fall into the trap of infinite inflation that is causing many other decentralised finance tokens to become worthless. The ecosystem and community rewards take up a considerable amount of the supply that motivates adoption and liquidity. The project has brought about staking vaults as well where users get to lock their tokens over a determined time in order to receive profitable yields in USDf. This process minimises the supply of FF in the open market and at the same time rewards the loyal fans who have the long term vision of the team. The other pillar of the Falcon Finance strategy is that of community engagement. The project introduced the Falcon Miles programme to make the process of utilising the protocol into a game. Users are rewarded to be active e.g. minting USDf or liquidity offering but which can subsequently be converted into real world rewards. Such a practise will change passive users into active participants of the ecosystem who will always be in contact with the ecosystem. The hype of these programmes also contributes to the development of an active and loyal audience which is the key to the existence of any crypto project. The social layer of Falcon Finance has just the same strength as the technical layer that forms a network effect that draws new users and develops to the platform. Security is of prime concern to the Falcon finance team. In a business where there are too many hacks, exploits and as such, the protocol has made heavy investments in audits and risk management strategies. The system uses the overcollateralization method to verify that all USDf that are in circulation are supported by assets that exceed the value of a dollar. This low-risk method offers an insurance expressed in times of decline in the market. Also, the protocol has used insurance fund as well as active monitoring to identify and prevent threats before they are able to cause damages. This safety orientation will give institutional investors confidence when considering Falcon Finance a possible exit into decentralised finance. The future of Falcon Finance looks promising with growth and innovation, as indicated by its roadmap. The team actively strives to implement the protocol in a variety of blockchains to reach liquidity in all places it lives. The cross chain approach will allow USDf to be utilised smoothly no matter which network a user wants to utilise Ethereum or Solana or some other speedy system. As the protocol develops the value of the FF token is supposed to go up. The increased types of collateral items result in an increased volume of minting that will create additional fees to the protocol and possibly with extra value to the governance token. According to the analysts in the marketplace, the dual token system of FF and USDf establishes an equilibrium ecosystem. The demand of a stable medium of exchange is captured by USDf and the value of the network development is captured by $FF . Such division enables the protocol to support two different user bases. Investors and governors get a potentially valuable volatile as well as traders and payments users receive a stable and reliable coin. This design decision reflects the framework of successful old fashioned organisations whereby equity and cash are used in different purposes but collaboration between them propelling the business. The trend of yield bearing stablecoins is also something Falcon Finance is exploiting. Users holding USDf are able to stake USDf to earn sUSDf that automatically earns yield on the underlying collateral. The latter attribute makes the possession of USDf better than the typical bank deposits or passive stablecoins that devalued to inflation. The yield is on the actual economic activity like lending rates and on that which he or she finds himself to be in the reserve. This is one of the primary attractions to users in the context of low interest rates passive income generation as this is a sustainable source of yield. The leadership has also proven to be acutely aware of the market dynamics such that their product introduction has been timed to align in line with changes in the mood of their investors. Staking vaults were launched just as the market was seeking long-term yield and not as a speculative security. This reading the room and turning on a dime skill is a quality of a mature project. They have not experienced the hype cycles that culminate into the boom and bust situations but have gone on to create a product that can be used by real people to solve real issues. Falcon Finance is in a good position to be a staple of the decentralised economy in the next several years. The gathering of increasingly heterogeneous real world assets is also likely to remain among the key development driving forces. It is possible to envision a scenario in the future when Falcon Finance will allow the user to borrow, based on their tokenized holdings in real-estate or gold. This would open up trillions of dollars in illiquid capital and place it on chain. The $FF token would be placed in the middle of this enormous value transfer and regulate the parameters of a substation of a global credit. Other problems that the project will encounter include regulatory control and the competition with other stablecoin emitters. The openness of the protocol and quality collateral dependence is however a powerful shield to the regulatory head winds. Falcon Finance is creating a moat that would cushion it against the regulatory crackdowns that currently afflict less scrupulous players in the sector by acting in the light and by prioritising compliance where feasible. Their transparency is shown by the way they have live dashboards that indicate the precise make up of the reserves supporting USDf at any one time. Falcon finance will be a new maturity in the crypto sphere not before. It merges the effectiveness of blockchain technology and consistency of conventional assets of finance. To the investor FF token provides a seat at the table of a protocol that is remaking the plumbing of the global financial system. To the user, USDf represents a sound and efficient asset of the user operating even harder than conventional money. The need to build bridges between old and new worlds Falcon Finance demonstrates that the future of finance is not where we have to decide which side to pick but create new ones which may link the two worlds. #FalconFinance @Falcon Finance $FF
PLASMA REVOLUTION TRANSFORMING THE DIGITAL PAYMENTS WITH MIGHTY $XPL
The cryptocurrency world was always hyped to bring a revolution in money and the transfer of value in the world. We have witnessed the creation of Bitcoin as the digital gold and Ethereum as the basis of decentralised applications but there has been a blaring gap in the market with regard to a really effective payment network. It is here that the new project dubbed as Plasma comes on the scene with a mission that is clear and ambitious. Plasma is a dedicated layer 1 blockchain that is specifically intended to support the uninterrupted transfer of stablecoins and digital assets. It seeks to address the major challenges of high-transactions cost and long settlement period that had bedevilled the previous networks. The core component of this ecosystem is the native utility token $XPL that enables all the functions of the network. The paper will discuss the complex specifics of Plasma and the innovative technology and the role of XPL token in creating a new financial economy. The Vision Behind Plasma The founders of Plasma saw a certain gap in the crypto space that was not fulfilled sufficiently by the solutions. Although general purpose blockchain is fantastic in hosting complex applications, they tend to flunk when simple value transfer is involved. Gas charges on small amounts of money are counterproductive and network overload could cause exasperating time delays. Plasma was constructed as an entirely new payment first network. The first objective is to offer a strong infrastructure where users can send tokens of the stable currency such as USDT without having to wait several minutes to confirm the payment after six changes in prices. This theme of payments enables Plasma to peel off the layers of complexity that are not needed and streamline its architecture to achieve speed and efficiency. Wanting to make a financial rail as quick and convenient as a credit card swipe and as open and safe as blockchain technology, this is the vision. With the emphasis on stablecoins, the network will fill the gap between the conventional fiat currencies and the decentralised web, making it less challenging to implement crypto in their lives by ordinary users and merchants. Technology: Knowledge of the Technology The consensus mechanism used in plasma is called PlasmaBFT and is a form of Byzantine Fault Tolerance. This is a complex engine that enables the network to finalise transactions within less than a second. When payment is remitted by a user within the plasma domain, the confirmation of the transaction takes place in nearly a second. This second is an essential value in real world business where shoppers cannot afford to have to wait at a cheque out stand until block approvals. The architecture also has full compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine, and it implies that a developer can easily transfer their existing applications and smart contracts to Plasma without learning other codes. This is due to the fact that this compatibility guarantees that the network will be able to accommodate a rich ecosystem of decentralised finance applications and wallets early on. The other notable property about Plasma technology stack is its compatibility with Bitcoin. The network makes use of a tool named BitScaler to anchor its state on a regular basis to the blockchain of Bitcoin. This offers an extra security measure by using the huge hash ratio of the Bitcoin network to secure Plasma transactions. It basically offers the users the best of both worlds as it provides the speed of a modern Proof of Stake chain with the implausible security of Bitcoin. This is a bilateral method to reduce the risks that are usually introduced by newer blockchains and the institutional investors have the assurance to transfer vast amounts of money across the network. A new methodology of gas fees will also be added to the technical design. In comparison to other chains where you need to have the native token in order to pay to gas Plasma enables gasless transactions on supported stablecoins. This implies a user does not have to have XPL or ETH to have to pay the fee to send USDT. This eliminates one of the major obstacles to those who are entering into the game and would be perplexed and counterintuitive with the idea of gas fees. The Role of the XPL Token XPL is the blood of the Plasma ecosystem and plays various important roles in the network. It is mainly activated to stake the network. To be eligible to the consensus process and be rewarded, validators need to lock a large sum of XPL. This economic framework aligns the incentive of the validators to the long term well being of the network. When a malicious person(the validator) is on board to do the hack or is out to cripple the network they stand to lose their staked XPL. This staking method guarantees that there is decentralisation of the network and it is not subject to censorship. Another application of XPL is that its average use pays to transact fees on non stablecoin transactions and activity in smart contracts. The more applications are developed upon it will force XPL to pay more to be able to utilise such brawny resources. XPL tokenomics are set to create sustainable growth and value accrual. The network follows a fee burning system like Ethereum EIP 1559 of having some fraction of each transaction fee permanently transfer out of circulation. This adds pressure of deflation on the supply of tokens that may enhance the future price of XPL in case the network is used extensively. The rest of the fees are allocated to validators and stakers to compensate them in serving them. This circulate burning and giveaway cycle results in the creation of a balanced economical environment in which the value flows back to the actors who ensure the network is secured. Moreover, XPL is a form of governance token that would provide the holders with a corporate voice in the following evolvement of the protocol. Changes can be suggested by community members and voted on upgrades to make sure that the project is develops in a manner that is beneficial to the group as opposed to only a few members. Reinventing Merchant Payments Among the brightest applications of Plasma and XPL, one can establish merchant payments. Conventional payment processors impose high charges that consume the profit margin of small business enterprises. Merchants can pay fees on a credit card deal of over three percent on the sale and it may take days to settle. Another solution is the use of plasma, which allows merchants to receive stablecoins at zero or almost zero cost and in real time. This has enabled business enterprises to maximise their cash flow and have more cash to keep. With the smooth incorporation of XPL with point of sale systems, the owner of a coffee shop will be able to readily accept a digital dollar payment like they would have accepted cash. The customer has to scan a QR code and instantly the funds will be transferred. The complex payment feature that is supported by the network includes; recurring billing and subscription which is vital in the contemporary service based business. These primitives can be created by developers inside the protocol Plasma, which simplifies developing user friendly payment applications that can compete with Venmo or PayPal. Thevariation is that the back-end layer of settlement is decentralised and not permissioned. Any central authority is not allowed to freeze funds or stop a transaction offering an element of financial freedom that is not achievable with the traditional banking system. Plasma the utility of XPL will also increase with the increase in the number of merchants that are using the Plasma as the media of securing these billions of dollars in daily commerce. Going Direct to Decentralised Finance Although payments are the main priority Plasma is equally a decently developed smart contract platform with a broad spectrum of decentralised financial features. Trading and lending protocols are very suitable in the network as it has high throughput and low latency. Arbitrage and HFT trades are also made possible by traders, which would be too costly on slower chains. The XPL token takes the main centre of this DeFi ecosystem since it is frequently employed as a guarantee in the lending markets or as a base pair in the decentralised trading platforms. The providers of liquidity can receive yield through the provision of XPL as well as other assets to such protocols as they form a lively economy of value creation. Other initiatives available in the project focus on introducing Bitcoin to the DeFi sector. It provides a pathway through which users can place their Bitcoin in the Plasma network as a wrapped form without any security risk through its safe bridging technology. This enables the Bitcoin holders to earn passive income by lending their idle resources on the lending pools or through yield farming programmes without compromising the security provisions of the Bitcoin network beneath. This aspect opens up trillions of dollars in potential liquidity and makes Plasma a central node when it comes to Bitcoin native decentralised finance. This activity is good news to XPL holders because the higher the bridge and DeFi protocols are used, the higher the demand will be on the block spaces and more investment income will be generated by the stakers. Growth of Community and Ecosystem. Whether a project on a blockchain is successful depends on the quality of its community and the size of its ecosystem. Plasma has been able to foster a roster of enthusiasts and developers who are loyal to the long term vision of the project. The team promotes active support of builders via grant programmes and hackathons that promote the development of new applications taking advantage of the specific benefits of the network. This is witnessing the birth of a myriad of projects including gaming platforms, supply chain management tools among others that are developed over the Plasma infrastructure. The community governance model is the best way of keeping the XPL holders involved and empowered. Choices on network upgrades and treasury allocations are resolved openly on chain giving every stakeholder in the project an opportunity to voice their opinions. Such democratic method promotes the feeling of ownership and loyalty in the user base that is critical to enduring the unavoidable highs and lows of crypto market. Education and onboarding the new users to learn the unusual cryptocurrency world also is a huge focus of the project. With its comprehensive documentation and intuitive user interfaces Plasma will reduce the barrier to entry and take the advantages of blockchain technology to the public market. The Road Ahead for Plasma By looking at the future, the roadmap of Plasma is filled with ambitious milestones that will continue to bring the project up. The introduction of liquid staking in the future will enable customers to stake their XPL and still have the liquidity and this is likely to drastically raise the proportion of the supply locked out in the network. This will improve security at the same time providing the user with a greater level of flexibility in the management of their assets. It is also investigating privacy protecting technologies that will enable it to make confidential transactions that will give the user a choice to hide their financial data leaving it undisclosed to anyone. This is an advantage especially in the case of enterprise adoption since there is a tendency of businesses wanting privacy on its transaction so as to avoid leakage of trade secrets and confidential data. The other pillar of the strategy will be global expansion. The strategy of the Plasma team is to have strategic partnerships with payment service providers and financial institutions within major markets across the globe. Such partnerships will adopt the use of Plasma as part of the current financial infrastructure to render it the unseen background of cross border remittances and interbank settlements. With the maturity of these partnerships we will be in a position to witness a rampant growth in the number of transactions that are going to be made and consequently the demand of XPL will also experience tremendous growth. This will eventually see Plasma reach a situation where it has become a universally accepted standard of digital value transfer a common language of money that helps to bridge people and businesses over national borders without friction or middlemen. Conclusion Plasma is a progressive leap in the development of blockchain technology. It concentrates on the basics of payments and settlement and as such, the most urgent needs of the digital economy. The immediate speed and zero fee transfer of the stablecoins and grade Bitcoin transfer offers a strong value proposition difficult to resist. The XPL token is at the heart of this revolution, which is a multi-purpose token that will protect the network, as well as empower the community. As the world keeps on the road of digitalization Plasma is available to offer remedy to a more open and efficient financial system in terms of infrastructure. It is only the beginning of the journey but the groundwork is established on the way to the time when money is going to flow freely like information. It is crucial to keep a close watch on Plasma and XPL both to investors and users alike as this project still sets the new frontiers in the realm of crypto. @Plasma #Plasma $XPL
LINEA The Economic Engine The Game-Changing Dual Burn Model of Value Capture.
The cryptocurrency market is full of ones without any real use other than being speculative. The majority of the Layer 2 networks issue their own token and oblige their users to pay transaction fees using those tokens. This not only generates spurious demand but it is also burdensome to the user who would just like to use the network. Linea has followed a very revolutionary path where the economic consistency with Ethereum is put first. The ConsenSys team realised that the real value of a rollup lies in the fact that the rollup can scale Ethereum without being parasiticly extracted. What has been created is a tokenomics model that could arguably be the strongest and most sustainable model in the whole sector. The $LINEA token is not a token but a component of a deflationary machine that gradually garners value through the real usage of the network. Under this system, all the interactions in the chain are profitable to those who hold LINEA as well as those who hold ETH. It is a symbiotic interaction that establishes a fresh standard of interaction on which the Layer 2 protocols ought to function. The Ruling to Retrieve Ether in Gas Form. The initial and the most significant choice that was made in the Linea economic model was to disrule the adoption of a native token as gas payments. Linea users charge their transactions using Ether. This is a very subtle yet deep design. It also enhances the user experience dramatically since one who switches across the mainnet already has the currency that is required to transact. Patients do not have to go to centralised exchange to purchase a niche token only to pay a swap or a transfer. Such a choice strengthens the financial utility of Ether as the decentralised web reserve currency as well. Majority of competing networks attempt to blow their own horns by imposing a new token on its users. Linea honours the dominance of Ether and makes its economy based on it. Such orientations are what attract the best capital within the ecosystem since the high net worth people and institutions like to have Ether and to spend Ether as well. It will send a message to the community that Linea is there to back Ethereum than it is to rival with it. The Dual Burn Mechanism is located within. The real genius of the Linea economy is what happened to the revenue after the revenue is collected. Each time someone makes a payment using Ether the network receives such revenue. The protocol will have to subtract the required expenses of proving transactions and putting information on Layer 1. The rest of the profit is then generated through a special procedure which is referred to as the dual burn. The protocol uses twenty percent of this net profit and directly burns the Ether. This permanently eliminates it in the world market. This measure brings about the EIP 1559 process in the mainnet and helps in deflation of Ethereum. The rest of the eighty percent of the profit is utilised to purchase LINEA tokens on the open market and burn. This in effect generates an automated and continuous buying pressure on the LINEA token which is mathematically correlated to the activity on the network. The more individuals use Linea the greater the fees are produced and the larger tokens are purchased and burnt. This offers a fair value accrual mechanism that is not reliant on inflation and marketing hype. One feudal distribution and supply of tokens. The maximum amount of the supply of LINEA is seventy two billion tokens. This figure has been decided to be one thousand times the genesis supply of Ethereum. This figurative relationship reiterates this relationship between the two chains. This is the distribution of these tokens where Linea really stands out of the rest of the venture capital controlled industry. The project marked zero tokens on the private investors or venture capital firms. The insiders did not have a round of seed in which they would purchase tokens in fractions of penny to put them on the hands of retail investors later. In the contemporary crypto projects this is virtually unheard of. The bulk of the supply that amounts to eighty five percent goes to the ecosystem. This involves ecosystem fund and user and developer treasury and rewards. With this fair launch strategy, it is the owners who control the network even though they are the ones who construct and utilise it. It eradicates the fear of huge unlock activities where early traders walk into the market with cheap tokens. The role of the ecosystem fund. The Ecosystem Fund will comprise the biggest share of the token supply. This team fund is not a slush fund but rather strategic resource under area of management of the Linea Consortium. The consortium encompasses the most reputable organisations such as ConsenSys and Eigen Labs among others who are dedicated to the long term well being of the network. The fund will have a duration of ten years. It will be utilised to grant money to developers and encourage people to provide liquidity and invest in publicly beneficial goods. The protracted vesting schedule makes sure that the incentives are pegged on long term growth and not a short term pumping. This fund can support developers that develop applications that are useful on Linea. This causes a self-fulfilling relationship where more virginal applications lead to more users that bring in better fees that burns more tokens. The fund is the driver that will jump this flywheel and get it turning once a decade. Relating Future Value to LXP. On the one hand, Linea announced a point system named Linea Experience Points or LXP a long time before the token launch. These points could be earned by users who were prolific users of the network by using decentralised applications, and offering liquidity. The LXP system was used to find the attributed users and exclude the bots. The original distribution of LINEA token mostly favoured the LXP owners. This took a precedence that contribution gives rise to ownership. The ecosystem still relies on such mechanisms as LXP L to reward the liquidity providers in the course of Linea Surge campaign. Such programmes are not mere marketing games but planned economic operations to add further liquidity to the chain. Extensive liquidity creates lower slip to the traders and increases the appeal of the network to the big players. The tokenomic model acknowledges individuals who contribute to the creation of this liquidity moat. Stability Over the ConsenSys Treasury. ConsenSys only owns fifteen percent of the tokens yet such a distribution has some severe terms. These securities are restricted tokens not transferable within the five year period. This imprisonment is considerably longer than the industry average that is only one or two years. This shows how much ConsenSys has in the long-term sustainability of Linea. They are not seeking a fast way out. They are establishing infrastructure of the upcoming decade of the internet. This treasury will be used in the future with the support of the further functioning of the protocol and its invigorating integration with the rest of the web. It is also a good indication to the market that the leading developer is ready to secure half a decade of her upside. It balances out the interests of the team and the interests of the community since only in this case, both parties win, and the network will be successful in the long run. The Deflationary Destiny The eventual aim of the Linea tokenomics is to have a deflationary asset which embodies the value of the network. The majority of utility tokens interval suffer from an infinite inflation when new tokens are continuously printed in order to cover security. LINEA is a reversal of this model. The rate of burning will be quicker as the volume of transaction expands. Minimum minting There is an upper limit to the number of token mints. This implies that the supply can be decreased in the long run. Assuming that Linea becomes the default Layer 2 in Ethereum the need of the blockspace will result in enormous income. This earning will be relentlessly translated into purchase pressures of the token. This model is a modification of LINEA into a product which absorbs the economic energy of the ecosystem. It is a pure bet regarding the adoption of the network. Dual burn mechanism makes sure that this value is effectively captured and in a transparent manner. It is an economic engine that is designed to be sustainable and it drives the institutional highway that ConsenSys has constructed. #Linea @Linea.eth $LINEA
LINEA The Unbroken Shield Why Cryptographic Truth Will invariably triumph over Optimistic Assumption
The attempt from the blockchain technology history is marked with a perpetual tension about whether or not decentralised security is necessary, and the necessity to process more transactions faster. Ethernet became the safest smart contract platform on the planet, and could not withstand world demand on the main chain. This overload emerged as scaling solutions that are Layer 2 scaling solutions built as faster lanes over Ethereum heavy highway.Over the years the market in these scaling solutions has been dominated by a technology called optimistic rollups. These networks have transacted billions of dollars and acquired millions of users. They are, however, constructed on a key architecture decision that puts primacy on simplicity as opposed to certainty. The design decision provides a limit on the extent to which they can be efficient and secure. Linea has come into the scene by having a radically different approach that involves the use of zero knowledge proofs. Such technology has altered the whole paradigm of verifying digital value. Linea does not only maximise the user experience but it actually elevates the security paradigm of the whole ecosystem.It substitutes the feel and smell of human observation and economic game theory with the impervious certitude of mathematics. The difference is the central point of difference that makes Linea the overall winner in the scuffle of scalability in the long term. The Weak Virginity of Optimistic Rollups In order to know why Linea is better than the competitor it is best to first look at the architecture of competitors. The most popular scaling solutions in the existing market utilise optimistic roll-ups. The very name of it gives it away about the character of their security model. The optimistic nature of these networks is based on the fact that their assumption is that all transactions uploaded to the chain are pure and legitimate by default. The system takes a short time to process the transactions and record the information to Ethereum without verifying its validity at once. This premise is fast but it creates an enormous security gap. The network should be based on a system known as fraud proofs to imprison unscrupulous individuals. This is to mean that once a transaction is registered there exists a period of time during which the network waits to get whether somebody has an issue with the outcome. Such a system is based on a system of watchtowers or validators who are given incentives to cheque the chain 24 hours a day.When a fraud transaction is detected by these validators he or she is required to make a proof to the main Ethereum chain to challenge the validity of the challenge. This system is effective provided that all people are attentive to it and does not assume that there will never be an honest validator who is accessible and capable of sending a transaction to Ethereum before it goes bad. This dependency on human care and economic motivations provides a possible point of failure which never exists in a system based on cryptography. The Difficulty of the Seven days Wait This dependence on fraud evidences poses an important practical issue to the user in the form of the so-called challenge period. The challenge period is a safety margin that optimistic rollups should implement to provide the amount of time to validators to identify the presence of fraud and present a challenge.This duration is normally seven full days.This implies that when a user seeks to transfer their money off an optimistic rollup they are in fact holding their capital at a ransom of seven full days. This lag cannot be afforded to the current financial market where the opportunity comes and goes within minutes. Consider the case of a trader who observes a market crash and has to transfer liquidity immediately to fill a position on Layer 1. On an optimistic rollup such a trader is languishing awaiting the challenge period to run out. This renders an enormous waste of capital distribution. To resolve this issue third party bridges have come in lending money to the user in real time at a fee but this increases the risk and cost. Linea is completely sure to avoid this issue since it is not based on a challenge period. Linea renders transactions right now through mathematics such that the result is not allowed to take a week before they can realise whether or not a person challenges the outcome. Zero Knowledge with Mathematical Certainty The Ethereum Virtual Machine used in Linea is a technological marvel and something that was impossible to believe a few years ago.9 There is no hope that anyone monitors the chain to provide security to Linea. It is founded on cryptographic proofs which are forgery-impossible. As Linea enjoys a set of transactions it creates a succinct evidence referred to as a SNARK. This evidence is a cryptography certificate that ensures that each and every transaction in the batch adhered to the Ethereum protocol. This evidence is then uploaded to a smart contract on Ethereum mainnet.The smart contract mathematically verifies this evidence. In the case that the evidence is valid then the transactions are sure to be valid. It is not a question of chance and there is no guess work. It is either something binary in terms of either the math is correct or not. This is achieved within a couple of minutes and not days. After the verification of the proof on Ethereum is complete the Linea network is finalised. This is referred to as immediate finality. It enables users to access their money or redeem assets with total confidence that they cannot do a reversal of the transaction in the future. This is the distinction between having confidence that a transaction is actual and having mathematical (absoluto) confidence that a transaction is actual. Bernhardt: Security Without Compromise The implications of this security model are extensive on an institutional adoption. Big financial organisations and sovereign wealth funds tend to be risk aversive. They simply cannot afford to work on a network where security lies in a complex game, based upon economic incentives. They need guarantees that are unconditional. Linea can offer the same security level as possible of the scaling solution since it would be as secure as Ethereum is upon verification.The challenge window only requires the honesty of validators and the censorship resistance of the base layer. In the event that a strong adversary censored the Ethereum network at any given time during a week they could potentially coerce a fraudulent transaction on a layer one that is using an optimistic rollup by not allowing honest validators to provide a fraud proof. This scenario is also very improbable but this is a non zero probability. This attack fails in the case of Linea as the validity of the state is already demonstrated prior to the finalisation of the state. Ethereum-based Linea verifier will just reject any proof that does not satisfy any engineering requirements irrespective of what is being transpired on the network. This asset renders Linea the strongest setting in attaining billions of dollars and worth. The Effectiveness of Data Compression The benefits of Linea cover not only the security but also the domain of cost effectiveness.Any Layer 2 network is required to rent Ethereum to store the transaction data. This is the cost driver which has the biggest effect in gas fees charges to users. The optimistic rollups are required to post a substantial amount of data to Ethereum so that lossless validators can recreate the state of the chain.They are supposed to post as much data as possible that anyone can recreate the state of the chain. Due to the specifics of zero knowledge proofs, Linea can be far more efficient. It is the evidence that proves that the state transition is estimated properly. This enables Linea to condense transaction information by a large margin before updating it to Ethereum. Linea does not have to publish all the witnessing information that an optimistic rollup may need. Such a better compression ratio implies that Linea occupies less space in Ethereum block. This performance is further enhanced on the unveiling of the new Ethereum upgrades such as Proto Danksharding that offered a data blobs space which Linea can utilise better than its rivals. The outcome is a network that will be structurally viable in the long run to provide low charges to users. The efficiency difference between Linea and optimistic rollups will continue to increase as the number of transactions increases. Type 2 Equivalence and Developer Experience The superiority in technology is free when the developers cannot simply develop on the platform. It is at this point that Linea is a winner with the Type 2 EVM equivalence. Most of the earlier zero knowledge research projects constructed their own virtual machines or languages which were difficult to work with. They needed the developers to be taught new complicated concepts and make them rewrite their applications again. Linea made the developer experience their highest priority by making sure that the network acts in a manner that is equivalent to Ethereum.The code compatibility guarantees that the compilation and execution of smart contracts in Linea can be read on the mainnet and pasted directly onto the network. This compatibility is even applicable to the tooling infrastructure. Ethereum tools, such as debuggers and block explorers and auditor tools, are capable of working on Linea by default. This eliminates the migration strain. There is no necessity of developers to decide between the high-security of zero knowledge demonstrations and the convenience of the Ethereum Virtual Machine. Linea offers them both within the same package. This has increased the rate of growth of the ecosystem as the teams can instal their products in Linea in days instead of months. The Future Proof Architecture The blockchain environment is dynamic and networks should be constructed in ways that facilitate changes. Positive rollups are hitting the boundaries of their architecture. The seven day delay is a tough constraint whose engineering away could not be finished without compromising on security. Linea is still on its initial stage of innovation. The technology of zero knowledge proofs advances exponentially. Provers are getting smaller, proofs are getting smaller and verification is getting cheaper. Linea is constructed in a way that these developments fit in easily. The ConsenSys team is researching actively on lattice based cryptography that has the potential of making Linea resistant to quantum computers in the future. Other networks are frantically sealing leaks in their fraud proof systems when Linea is enhancing an essentially sound system. The decentralisation of the prover network and decentralised sequencer will make the network even harder to censor. Linea is not simply developing to address the crypto market of the present time but the financial infrastructure of the world in the next decade. The Verdict on the L2 War The crypto storey is commonly geared by temporary cost activity however the winners on a lasting scale are selected by fundamentals. The underlying fact is that validity evidences are better than fraud evidences. Proving that something is true is always more preferable to presumption until it is proved that it is false. Linea has gone the reverse way by developing a complete and equal zero knowledge EVM.It is a tough engineering task that required several years of research before they were perfected. The returns to that investment is currently coming through because Linea is providing a product which lacks structural deficiencies. It offers the expediency that customers desire and the low-cost that merchants must have and the ultimate security that facilities require. Competition perhaps got a head start but they are operating on a hundred-year-old engine. The Linea is the new generation of scaling solutions, that do not make any compromises. It has been uninterrupted and it shields the assets of its users with laws of mathematics. With the maturity of the industry and the value at stake getting into the trillions that the market will clearly converge to there will be a pull towards the type of certainty that is offered by Linea. The fundamental differentiator is trust and Linea has established a system in which no trust is needed since it has implemented verification. @Linea.eth $LINEA #Linea
LINEA The Evolutionary Leap of Breaching the Zero Knowledge Architecture into the Heart of Ethereum
There is a seismic shift in digital landscape with a move towards the world of decentralisation of the future through blockchain technology. Ethernet is the largest settlement layer of this new internet and works as a global computer and which can be accessed by anyone. Ethereum has always set the goal as offering a permissionless and censorship resistant platform to the rest of the world. The main challenge that this ambitious goal encounters is the problem of scalability trilemma. According to this concept, the probability of a blockchain to make decentralisation and security and scalability coexist is hard to achieve simultaneously. Ether concentrated on decentralisation and security that led to congestion of the network and high costs of transacting between the time of peak usage. This puts a barrier on the daily users who, in any case, cannot afford to pay high prices to have basic interactions. The solution to making Ethereum scalable without undermining the values of the industry has been a long time coming. Linea has become such a solution. Linea is a developer-ready Layer 2 network which is being developed by ConsenSys and which employs zero knowledge proofs to scale Ethereum. It is the second step in the development of blockchain technology and it is set to bring in the age of mass adoption. The ConsenSys Architecture Masterpiece The powerhouse in the creation of Linea cannot be narrated without the knowledge of the storey. ConsenSys is also among the oldest and renowned software engineering firms in the blockchain industry. They are the makers of the most popular self custodial wallet in the world which is the MetaMask. They also created Infura that offers the core infrastructure upon which most vast majorities of decentralised applications are operated. Joseph Lubin was the co founder of Ethereum and subsequently he created ConsenSys to develop the tools to enable the ecosystem to succeed. Linea is the product of years of research and development in such an organisation as prestigious. This was the realisation of the group at ConsenSys that to be successful internationally, Ethereum would require scaling solution that was not only temporary but had to be architectural upgrade. $LINEA has been intended in such a way that it would be compatible with the existing tools that are already used and loved by the developers. Such strong connectivity offers Linea a tremendous competitive edge over the other networks since it eliminates friction to both the builders and users. With a developer developing on Linea, he or she can quickly develop with the full suite of ConsenSys products and this helps in developing the product at a faster rate. Knowing when the Zero Knowledge Difference The technology of Linea is referred to as a zero knowledge rollup or zk rollup in short. This is regarded as the holy grail of scaling blockchain solutions. The existing market has two broad categories of rollups that exist namely optimistic rollups and zero knowledge rollups. Optimistic rollups stipulate that transactions are valid on default and only computations are performed on the basis of a challenge on a transaction. This places a dependency on the dispute period that is normally seven days. It implies that in case a user wants to use the money stored in an optimistic rollup to draw funds back to the main Ethereum network he needs to wait an entire week. A better way of doing so is taken by Linea with the zero knowledge proofs. Linea adjusts thousands of transactions out of the chain and packages them. It will then produce a complicated cryptographic evidence that confirms the correctness of each single transaction of such a bundle. Such evidence is deposited into the Ethereum mainnet where it is subsequently checked immediately. Advanced mathematics is applied to make sure that the transactions are valid without any seven day waiting period. This gives the effect of almost instant finality and a far greater level of the security guarantees than optimistic ways. The Linea money is insured by mathematics instead of economic incentive and game theory. The True EVM Equivalence Effect The talent of Linea is the special use of this technology. First versions of zero knowledge rollups were not user friendly as they could not run on ethereum virtual machine. The software developers were forced to learn new programming languages or rewrite their programme to enable it to work on these networks. This is addressed by the fact that Linea is a Type 2 zkEVM. This is abbreviated as Zero Knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine. What this name implies is that Linea is not any worse than the Ethereum Virtual Machine in terms of ability to execute the same functions at the same level of functionality at the bytecode level. A developer is able to take a smart contract running on Ethereum and run it on Linea with no modifications to the code. It is a milestone in the development of software engineering. It enables the huge number of Solidity developers currently to move their applications to Linea easily. They have access to the same developer tools as Hardhat and Truffle as well as Foundry that they have been using over the years. This completely eliminates the learning curve and it opens the gates of innovation. This is aimed at ensuring the experience of using Linea is just indistinguishable to that of using Ethereum at only a fraction of the cost and much faster. An economic model of the future is referred to as a Symbiotic Economic Model Since most blockchain projects introduce a new token, they make the new tokens mandatory and compel their users to buy the new token as a means of payment of a transaction fee. This can be very crystallising and put in an unwarranted entry barrier. Linea opted to follow another route which is clearly in line with the spirit of the Ethereum community. Ether is the indigenous gas token of the Linea network. There is no need of users obtaining a separate volatile token to make a transaction or to interact with an application. This move makes it more solid that Ether is the principal money of the decentralised web. Linea makes money in Ether through the transaction fees derived by the users. The project has brought a radical tokenomics structure with the LINEA token. In its network, the network has a two-burn process of making value. Some of the Ether revenue earned by the network is burned that lowers the amount of Ether that is supplied. The other fraction of the revenue is to purchase LINEA tokens on the open market and also burn them. This exerts potent deflationary stress on the LINEA token that is directly related to the network usage. Such a model means that the utility of the platform will be directly converted into the value of the token holders and the Ethereum ecosystem as a whole. It does not engage in extractive behaviour of other tokens which merely harvest value out of the users of the token without paying back to the base layer. The Bridge to Mass Adoption: The Institutions Institutional capital looking to enter the blockchain industry by traditional finance has long been the objective of the industry. Banks and other big companies have taken too long to get into the space because of security and scalability and regulatory compliance issues. Linea will be uniquely placed to fill the gap due to its connexion to ConsenSys. ConsenSys has a history of providing enterprise grade software and this explains why its institutions trust it. Linea is already starting pilot projects with the significant financial organisations such as SWIFT and different investment banks. These pilots discuss how they can enhance cross border payments and settlement of assets through the use of blockchain technology. The low cost and high throughput of Linea makes it possible to have these institutions transacting millions of transactions in a public ledger everyday. The zero knowledge proofs offer the assurance that risk managers need because of the security guarantees it offers. Not only is Linea the toy ground of retail speculators but it is constructed to be the support structure of the future financial arena. The network also includes the functionality of permissioned environments and compliance cheques which are necessary in controlled parties. This two-pronged emphasis of decentralised innovation and institutional readiness makes Linea stand out of the competitors. The Prosperous Environment and Society Any blockchain network is a network, and as the network, community, and applications that inhabit this network, are only as valuable as that network. Linea has experienced a soaring ecosystem since the launch of its mainnet. The network has had hundreds of applications, which are decentralised, deployed covering various areas such as decentralised finance and games and non fungible tokens and social media. The network has been able to draw enormous liquidity on such innovative campaigns like Linea Surge. This programme incentivizes the users who will offer liquidity to the network with non transferable tokens called LXP L. These incentives encourage users to bridge their assets at Linea to bootstrap the financial markets on the chain. $LINEA has a vibrant and extremely active community. The project has not given tokens to the venture capitalists or the insiders which have earned enormous goodwill among the users of the project. It is concerned with even-handed distribution and compensating people who are making a real contribution to the network. This grassroots strategy will lead to the feeling of ownership and loyalty which is uncommon in the crypto industry. The user feels that he/she is a part of a movement and not a consumer of a product. The developers are responsive to feedback and repeat the protocol over and over again to fulfil the needs of the people. The Future of Decentralised Finance The Linea roadmap is bold and self-explanatory. The group is now working on decentralisation of the network operations further. They will gradually give over the control of the sequencer to the community. The sequencer is the layer that ranks the transactions and at the moment it is run by ConsenSys to guarantee stability in the initial stages. This is one of the aspects that need to be decentralised to gain censorship resistance. The final aim is to develop to Type 1 zkEVM that would render Linea exactly like Ethereum in all aspects. This would provide long term stability and functionality with any future upgrades in Ethereum. The goal of Linea is to facilitate thousands of transactions every second and be the default execution environment throughout the Ethereum globe. Linea is a force to reckon with due to the combination of a state of the art zero knowledge technology along with deep organisational connexions and a community oriented philosophy. It is not just attempting to follow in the saturated market Layer 2. It is redefining the concept of a scaling solution. Linea is constructing the highway which will bring in and carry the next billion users to the Web3 world. Zero knowledge imperative is more than a technical specification, it is a promise to a future when privacy, scalability and security are not in conflict with each other. The future is that realisation and Linea here to stay. #Linea $LINEA @Linea.eth
MORPHO THE INVISIBLE ENGINE: HOW IT IS QUIETLY REBUILDING THE FINANCIAL STACK OF THE INTERNET
The Stagnation of the First Generation. The innovative history is normally a narrative of two different stages.The initial one is that of breaking the barrier in the storey where something unattainable becomes possible. The second stage is the optimization in which the cumbersome breakthrough is polished to become efficient and applicable to the whole world. Decentralised Finance or DeFi is now moving through the second mature phase and past the initial chaotic phase. The industry has been dominated by the first generation lending protocols in the past few years. Megabanks in the form of Aave and Compound demonstrated that you can place a bank into the blockchain. They demonstrated that people in other parts of the world could borrow and lend billions of dollars without meeting once and without having a centralised middleman. It was a zero to one moment in the financial technology. A harsh reality however replaced as the hot blood faded. The architecture that supported these first generation protocols was not that efficient. It was constructed based on a model dubbed liquidity pool. Everyone puts money into a huge digital pool in this model and the borrowers get money out of that same pool.This is easy in that it is a secure system and, at the same time, it is wasteful. With a pooled model a large part of the capital must always remain idle so as to ensure there is liquidity to withdraw.This non productive capital does not yield any returns. Due to this there is an everlasting arm twisting between the supplier and the borrower. The borrower will pay high interest rate at a time when the lender will be earning a low interest rate. The spread in these two numbers is the price of inefficiency and in the traditional model of the pool is the spread. This was inefficiency that provided the industry with a glass ceiling. Massive financial institutions and savoury traders took a look at these onchain rates, and found a market that was conceptually fractured with regard to hyper efficient matching engines in conventional finance. The sector required an innovation. It required a protocol that can eliminate the waste and bridge the capital face-to-face. The Mathematics of Inefficiency It is best to look a bit deeper into the mechanics of the liquidity pool in order to soup up why Morpho is so important a leap forward. In a standardised protocol such as Aave the interest rate would be calculated through a curve depending on usage.When half of the pool is borrowed the interest rate becomes low. When ninety percent is borrowed the interest rate becomes very high to stimulate repayments. The trade off of this design is compelled. In order to make the system safe and liquid the protocol in effect discourages full utilisation. It desires a huge buffer of free cash. And in the case you are a lender it signifies that of each dollar you deposit you may only be putting out perhaps sixty cents of it making it available to earn interest. The other forty cents is lying around there scooting nothing but watering down your output. It is not a crypto problem only. This is the same model employed by the traditional banks whereby they get your deposit and loan only a part of it and retain some in reserve. However, in the programmable money world we can. We can order it mathematically. Paul Frambot founder of Morpho knew that this was not a law of nature but a design failing. He knew that any way you could connect a lender and a borrower directly you could get off the idle buffering capital of that particular user.The lender would get more because all of their money was in circulation.The borrower would get less because they were not covering the idle cash of others. $MORPHO Optimizer came into picture out of this realisation. It was one of the codes, which floated on the preexisting pools.It served as a traffic regulator. When a user would go to deposit money Morpho would first cheque whether there was a borrower who was waiting to get that sum of money. In case it was matched it would Peer to Peer them. In case it failed to match it would just deposit the money into the underlying pool such as Aave. This mixed strategy was a Pareto improvement.14 In economics a Pareto improvement is an improvement in which no one is worse and at least one person is better. It could be a free lunch based on superior code and Morpho users had the convenience of the liquidity and security of the underlying pool with the option of greatly increased rates due to direct matching. The Product Evolution to Infrastructure. This Optimizer was a colossal success that brought billions of dollars of liquidity. But there was a bigger vision by the team at Morpho Labs. The fact that it was an optimization layer over the other protocols was a good move but not the ultimate move as they were still bound to what the underlying protocols had to offer in terms of its design and risks. Bad code Morpho would be hurt as well should the underlying pool have had a governance failure. Besides, the Optimizer was complicated. It entailed intensive mathematics in terms of constantly matching and rematching users as they were getting in and out of our system. Morpho had to be the bottom tier to really rebuild the financial stack. This is what resulted in the invention of Morpho Blue. $MORPHO blue is the philosophical change of protocol as a service to protocol as infrastructure. Morpho Blue was designed in an appalling manner. It can be described as a single smart contract with fewer than one thousand lines of code.18 This has never been heard of in a business in which protocols tend to grow as thousands of lines of complicated code. The complexity is on purpose.Morpho Blue is to be unalterable.Once deployed it can never be amended.It can not be voted upgraded by a governing body.It can not be put into pause by a central authority. It is permanently embedded on the blockchain just like Uniswap. This permanence has some degree of certainty that is uncommon in finance. When such an institution constructs a financial product one thing that they must keep in mind is that rules of the game will not be transformed overnight. In the original form of DeFi there was a sudden change in the risk parameters or interest rate models of a pool by simply voting the governance. In Morpho Blue, the parameters are specified at birth and never changed again. The Strength of Separated Markets. The radical change in Morpho Blue is the isolated market shift. In the earlier period of divided lending risk was distributed. In case you had deposited USDC in a pool with a volatile token as collateral you were, indirectly, invested in the volatile token. In case the price of the said token plummeted and the liquidation process suffers a breakdown the whole pool may be left with bad debt. This is a nightmare risk model in the view of risk managers. It involves trusting each and every piece of property in the pool. It does not allow listing of new assets or niche assets, as that is going to jeopardise the whole system. Morpho blue unifies this risk.It is possible to create separated pairs of loans.One of them could be the lending of the USDC to Wrapped Bitcoin. USDC lent against a tokenized Treasury Bill is another potential market. These two markets are totally different. In case the Treasury Bill market fails it has no effect whatsoever to the Bitcoin market. The permissionless innovation is opened by this isolation. previously to establish a lending market around a new asset you would need to lobby a DAO and pass a vote governing it. It was a political process. The Morpho Blue allows anyone to trade any asset pair in any given time. This makes Morpho a construction platform. A fintech firm can go and spin a given lending market to their customers and give them parameters precisely to their risk profile. They are not entitled to seek the permission of Morpho Labs. They simply use the code. The Human Interface Isolated markets are strong to the developers but create a challenge to the end user. An ordinary individual will not be keen to study five hundred various lending markets in order to get the best yield. They do not desire to continuously observe the levels of liquidity of a given pair. They simply desire to have a passive experience. This was solved by Morpho in a layer known as Morpho Vaults. The bridging complex efficient machinery of Morpho blue and that of the human user is The Vaults. Vaults are basically intelligent containers having the ability to manage liquidity in a number of isolated markets.But what is important Morpho Labs does not run such Vaults directly. Rather they put the management under contract with a consortium of Curators. Curators are risk management professional firms and market analysts.They are the professionals working there analysing risk in smart contract and market volatility. When a customer invests money in a Vault, he hires the Curator to manage his money. The Curator sets the rules. They make the choice of which markets are securable to lend to. They make decisions regarding the exposure that the Vault is supposed to face to any asset. The Morpho protocol manages the execution and the mathematics and the Curator the judgement. This forms an atmosphere of trust in the market. The users have the option of using a Vault that is managed by a company that is conservative and ensuring they are completely safe is their main concern. Or they have an option to pursue the Vault of a more aggressive company that is targeting higher returns. The protocol is not prescriptive of what strategy should be followed but it merely gives the tools on which a strategy can be followed in an open manner. The Institutional Bridge This immutable-code-isolated-risk-and-professional-curation has already made Morpho the pet of institutional financeWe are already seeing the big pile of institutional business migrate to the protocol. Coinbase the biggest cryptocurrency exchange in the United States has recently added Morpho to develop their lending products.When a Coinbase user lends their Bitcoin the market is to be isolated and Morpho is brought in to fence their risk. They would be able to create a market custom-made to be used by their users without the systemic risks of the larger DeFi ecosystem spreading to them. It is also witnessing the emerging Real World Assets on Morpho. The protocol is being used to generate immediate liquidity to tokenized government bonds and corporate credit by their issuers. Since the markets are permissionless these issuers can design the Loan to Value ratios and interest rate models that are sensible to conventional assets instead of having to apply those designed to work with unstable crypto tokens. Conclusion Morpho does not just upgrade the current lending environment. It is a reconstruction of it in its entirety. It has provided the backbone of the next decade of digital finance by addressing the underlying inefficiency of the liquidity pool and introducing a modular trustless architecture it has paved the way to. The project is actively in the act of consuming the liquidity of the whole sector in a silent manner. The cases when more users learn that they can get the same liquidity at lower rates moves to the Morpho engine are inevitable. It is a typical case of economics being technology-driven. The more productive system ultimately succeeds. To the common user the complexity of the underlying technology will eventually be forgotten. They will just find an app that provides them with a higher return than a bank. However, behind all that straightforward interface will be the engine that drives the exchange of value will be Morpho.It is laying the high speed rails of the future in which the future of value will be carried upon.
MORPHO REVOLUTION: THE DeFi PROTOCOL QUIETLY DISMANTLING TRADITIONAL BANKING
Within the giant city of the Decentralised Finance (DeFi), skyscrapers are present that all are familiar with. The apex of this system is Aave, a giant towering structure whose liquidity is in the form of billions of dollars. The stock exchange is Uniswap, the disorderly yet effective market. However, should you closely examine the foundations that will be being spread in late 2025, you will find a new architect quietly reinventing the city grid. That architect is Morpho. Morpho, as it appears to newcomers, seems to be yet another lending protocol a spot to store the crypto and earn a profit. It is to undermine the inherent change it embodies, however, to address it simply as another Aave. Morpho is not attempting to become a more excellent bank; rather it is attempting to un-bank banking altogether. As the $MORPHO token has recently begun trading at approximately $1.69 and the protocol itself handles over $3.3 billion dollars worth of on-chain credit (TVL), the market is officially waking up to the fact that Morpho is the infrastructure layer to the next trillion of on-chain credit. The Flaw in the "Pool" Model We must understand the invisibility of the inefficiency of the predecessors of Morpho, before we can understand its genius. The Pooled Model (in effect used in Compound and Aave) has dominated the DeFi lending world over years.Take a giant swimming pool. They put their USDC into the deep and borrowers drink out of the shallow. The Good: It's simple. Liquidity is always there. The Bad: It is drastically inefficient Your money is socialised in a pool. Or even in the case that you are a conservative investor and simply want to lend on safe collateral like Bitcoin, you do not get the option of your USDC being combined with funds lending on less safe, and more volatile altcoins. You are the one who is subsidising the risk. Moreover since the pool has to maintain an amount of money to be withdrawn, a huge amount of capital lies idle and does not generate any profit. And this is the reason why the gap between what the borrowers pay and what the lenders get was historically large. Morpho was started in 2021 as a smart bit of code, a “Peer-to-peer Optimizer," which made lenders and borrowers meet directly to remove this spread. It was a huge hit. However, team members, headed by founder, Paul Frambot, understood that there was no use optimization of a faulty system. They had to start afresh with the system. Introduction: Enter Morpho Blue: The "Lego"of Lending The outcome was what has been formally named as the Morpho Blue protocol released at the beginning of the year 2024 since it has become the standard of efficiency in late 2025. Morpho Blue is extreme as it is permissionless.In ancient times (Aave V2/V3), to establish a market of a new token, you had to make the DAO (a federation of tokenholders) vote on it. It was a gradual or political process. Morpho Blue is more like Uniswap. A lending market may be established by any person regarding any assets. Like to establish a borrowing market of USDC vs. tokenized Gold? You can. Interested in establishing an ETH lending-borrowing market against an exclusive NFT curation? Go ahead. Here however is the emergency measure that transforms all: Isolation. However, in the pool of Aave, when one risky token fails, the entire protocol will be shivering. There is a silo between markets in Morpho Blue. In the event of the collapse of the "Dogecoin-to-USDC" market, the adjacent market, which is the "Bitcoin-to-USDC" market, will not be impacted in any way. This idea is what is referred to as Isolated Lending, which permits the protocol to accommodate risky assets without putting the safe, institutional money at risk. The Institutional "Yes" This design - Permissionless creation and Risk Isolation was the key that opened the doors of the institutions. We had the fruit of this labour in 2025. The US giant Coinbase incorporated Morpho in its Base network to operate crypto-backed loans.8 Why did they select Morpho? Shared risk is an anathema to compliance departments. The very existence of a giant organisation, such as BlackRock or Coinbase, is not legally permitted to put the money into a pool where it may be targeted by a random DeFi token hack. With Morpho, they are able to spin up a "Clean Market": Only USDC, Only bitcoin, No funny business. This has increased a boom in Real World Assets (RWAs). We currently observe the U.S Treasury bills and corporate bonds being tokenized and serve as collateral on Morpho. The protocol has served as the transition between the legacy financial system worth $20 trillion and the blockchain high speed world. The Human Layer: The Vaults and the Curators In the case of Morpho Blue engine, Morpho Vaults (formerly MetaMorpho) are the self-driving car. Well, to tell the truth, you, being an average user are not going to want to study 500 different autonomous markets and then see which one yields the best returns. You want a "Deposit" button. Morpho Vaults address this by adding a Curator layer.These are professional risk management firms, such as Gauntlet, Steakhouse Financial, and B.Protocol, and they curated baskets of markets on your behalf. The Vault of Steakhouse: Could be interested in stable, Real-World Asset returns. The Gauntlet Vault: Might optimise high-yield crypto-native policies. By posting some funds into Vault, you are in effect putting these experts to work handling your risk.They are watching the markets 24/7. When a particular market begins to appear risky they withdraw your liquidity at a single stroke. This is the delegation of trust - the isolation of the technology (Morpho Blue) and the risk management (Curators): the unbundling of the bank. The bank manager has long since ceased to be protocol; the bank manager is an outsourced service that you can hire or fire any time you like. The Token $MORPHO ): Controlling the Machine. The $MORPHO token has been a rumour in years. Then, towards the end of 2024, the Token Generation Event (TGE) is truly complete.Now the token is established as a governance heavyweight, in November 2025. In contrast to the Memecoins that are traded on hype, $MORPHO is a utility play. It governs the Morpho DAO, which manages key parameters of the protocol.15 Mainly, in Morpho, the DAO has the ability to switch on a protocol fee at will.The code does not pay much attention to fees, which is now discouraged, but a protocol fee can always be switched on by the DAO. A minor fee would yield huge returns to the treasury of the DAO with the amount of TVL of 3.3 billion. People who purchase the shares of $MORPHO , at 1.69, are betting on the following cash flow. They are speculating that Morpho will turn into the TCP/IP of Lending the foundation on which all other fintech applications are constructed. The Risks: It's Not All Up Only We must remain objective. The emergence of Morpho is not a risk free one. Complexity: Dual-layer interface (Blue + Vaults) is not as easy to learn as the simple Aave button of the "Deposit" functionality. Liquidity Fragmentation: Modes of liquidity are torn apart due to the isolation of the markets. There is also a huge pool of cash and Aave still has it. Vesting Overhang:We are in the very process of token vesting schedules. The team and early investors possess tokens that unlock over the next 2026 that will provide inherent price pressure to sell. Conclusion: The New Standard The crypto market is at the end of 2025 driven by the Utility and the Real Yield. The mistakes of inflation food token are behind us. Morpho symbolises the maturity of the asset category. It is effective.It is architecturally interactive Coinbase could easily use it and a degenerate trader could easily use it. After decoupling the fixed form of the traditional DeFi pools, Morpho has developed an elastic financial nervous system, which can evolve according to whatever the market requires, either, lending a JPEG of a monkey or a Tokenized Treasury Bond. Aave would have made the drop-in and lending service the "HTTP" of lending the first standard to work this is what Morpho is attempting to be; it is HTTPS: more secure and fast, with the capability to reason with the global market. @Morpho Labs 🦋 #Morpho
THE MORPHO DOCTRINE: HOW A NEW FINANCIAL BACKBONE IS QUIETLY EATING DeFi’s LUNCH
Introduction: The Invisible Ceiling of DeFi. The Decentralised Finance (DeFi) was almost magic at one point in 2020, just briefly shining and shining. You might put digital assets into a smart contract and instead of paying 0.01 per cent that the local bank will charge, you might get 5 per cent, or 10 or 20 per cent. This was the Summer of DeFi, Aave and Compound were the titans. They erected the original skyscrapers of this new city: huge pooled lending platforms in which all the money of everyone was kept in one huge communal pot. However, when the dust cleared and the initial hype became less significant, a hidden issue was introduced. The high-rise buildings were not only strong but also not efficient. In such old fashioned pooled plans, your funds are kept lying around. When you put in the USDC in a pool, you are blended with thousands of others. Without sufficient borrowing by people the utilisation of the same is low and then there is low yielding to them. Worse still, you are subjected to common risk. When the protocol takes on a risky asset as collateral, e.g. a volatile meme coin, and that coin collapses, your entire pool (even your safe stablecoins) would theoretically be on the line. It is similar to living in a blocking of apartments where one neighbour leave the stove on and burn down all the apartments of those who are inside the building. The industry hit a ceiling. The institutions viewed this as a collective and risky thing and said no. Traders groaned at the huge borrowing-lending rates spreads. Enter Morpho ($MORPHO ) Morpho is not any other lending protocol, it features an attempt to remodel the very framework of the way digital lending is conducted. It is a transition of the Communal Pool era into the Specific, Isolated, and Efficient era. Morpho, under the direction of a young visionary, Paul Frambot, has grown to be a multi-billion-dollar infrastructure layer, currently driving the next wave of crypto lending, such as products in the Coinbase giant. This is what the process of humanising risk, maximising capital, and building a financial backbone sees Morpho doing, and that could be the future of global credit. Part I: The Storey of the beginnings: Optimization to Revolution. In order to know the direction Morpho is taking, we need to know the direction it began. The project did not start with a huge scheme of ousting Aave. It began with a pleasant, useful neighbour. Ahead of time, in 2021, Paul Frambot, as a student at the Institut Polytechnique Paris, realised that there was a huge inefficiency in DeFi. With Aave, a lender could earn 2%, whereas a borrower can earn 4%. Those were 2% worth of values that were lost. It was the fault of the pool model: since the pool was required to have idle liquidity to withdraw funds, it would not be able to loan out all the dollars. The Morpho Optimizer was constructed by Frambot and his crew. It was an ontop code that was on top of Aave and Compound. It acted like a matchmaker. In the case where Alice would like to lend out USDC and Bob would like to take it, Morpho would strive to match them directly, Peer-to-peer (P2P). In case they matched, Alice received a higher rate and Bob received a lower rate. Everyone won. In case they were not able to match, the money just returned into the Aave pool. It was brilliant, a Pareto efficient improvement. It was free money to the users, which was designed solely through efficiency of the code. The Optimizers shortly gained more than 1 billion in capital. The team knew something important, however. As an optimizer was, it was putting a turbo engine in a Honda Civic. It accelerated the car but you were still restricted on the chassis of the Civic (the pool model underneath). In order to scale, to process trillions of dollars, rather than billions of dollars, they needed to create a Ferrari. They needed a new base layer. That enlightenment brought about Morpho blue. Part II: Morpho Blue - The Trustless Foundation. The new ecosystem is centred on Morpho Blue. But to a non-technical user, Morpho blue may appear to be threatening, however the philosophy behind it is the most deceptively and unbelievably easy: Less is More. The typical DeFi protocols consist of thousands of lines of complex code that is governed by a DAO (Decentralised Autonomous Organisation) that votes on each minor parameter. Should interest rate be increased? Should we add this new token? This is a human intervention that forms a bottleneck in governance. This is abolished in Morpho Blue. It is an artless--a simple construction material. It is an incredibly small smart contract (a smart contract is finance) of approximately 600 lines of code: any person can create a lending market. It is the breakthrough: Isolated Markets Under the old model (Aave), all of the assets were in a single bucket. All the markets in Morpho Blue are silos. You are able to form a market to take loans of USDC using ETHs as collateral. Another market to borrow DAI against WBTC can be created. Why does this matter? Suppose you are a conservative investor. You just wish to lend on Bitcoin and Ethereum. With old pools, you didn't have a choice, you had to lend you whatever the pool would accept (which might be less risky tokens). Risk is detached in Morpho Blue. When the market that is on the risk side breaks down, it is put in its silo. It is as though it were a ship that had bulkheads, the discovery of a leak in one room would not sink the Titanic. In this movement, which can be limitlessly creative, there is no permission. A Real World Asset (RWA) company may arrive and develop a market to borrow stable coins to be bought of tokenized real estate. There is a market that a fintech company can establish in US Treasury bills. Morpho Blue does not judge and only supplies the plumbing. But there is a catch. The system is wonderful to developers and institutions but that to the average user; this sounds like a nightmare. And who would want to manually sort through 500 distinct isolated markets in order to discover the best place? It is at this point that the Human Layer of Morpho will play its role. Part III: The Human Touch - Vaults and Curators. Morpho has also created an arguably the most interesting innovation. The team discovered that technology is to be trustless, but risk management involves human judgement. Morpho came up with Morpho Vaults (previously MetaMorpho) to address the complexity of isolated markets. Just imagine a Vault to be like a mutual fund or a savings account that is run by an expert. Unlike the 50 different markets, as a user, you do not deposit in 50 different markets. You place your USDC into one of the Vaults the Steakhouse USDC Vault. There exists a Curator who takes care of that Vault. Who are the Curators? These are not anonymous characters, they are professional risk management companies, analytics companies and financial experts. There are Curators such as Gauntlet, Steakhouse Financial, and B.Protocol firms. The Curator has the task of analysing the hundreds of disconnected markets on Morpho Blue. They examine the liquidity, the quality of the collateral and the security. Then the safe markets are whitelisted and you move the liquidity of your Vault into them. This forms a beautiful segregation of labour: Morpho Blue (The Code): Deals with the math, the transfers, and the liquidations carelessly. It will never sleep, never rob, never commit a question in math. The Curator (The Human): Management of the strategy. They determine the soft risks, market sentiment, regulatory changes, and asset quality. It has the first scalable software-to-bankerlike thought system in DeFi. As the customer, what you receive is a basic deposit button at a competitive rate, without worrying that a professional company is motivated to secure your capital. Part IV: The $MORPHO Token - How to Rule the Machine. Where can the $MORPHO token be returned to fit in this architecture? Most crypto projects are merely tokens, which are unuseful pieces of paper that are stamped so as to bring more users on board. $MORPHO wants to be different. This whole financial underpinning is the tool of its government. Morpho Blue (the base layer) is unchangeable (that is, immutable) but the ecosystem that lives and breathes around it. $MORPHO holders operate the Morpho DAO which exercises control over key leverages: The Fee Switch: At this point, Morpho makes very little or no fees to promote growth. The protocol however has the possibility of governance to enable the turning on of a protocol fee. Having billions of dollars in the system, even a single percentage is considerable revenue to the DAO. Incentivization: The DAO incentivizes liquidity on particular strategic units with the help of $MORPHO . As an example, the DAO can give $MORPHO rewards to the particular Vaults, in case they wish to incentivize more people to adopt Real World Assets (RWA). Curator vetting: Though any person can create a Vault, the Decentralised Autonomous Organisation operates to indicate who is a reliable Curator, preserving the image of the ecosystem. The value of holding the $MORPHO is a company that is betting on the expansion of protocol. Assuming that Morpho turns into the HTTP of Lending, the standard everyone opens the hood on, there is an extremely high value of having power over that layer. Part V: Practical Penetration and Institutional Implementation. In any crypto project the real test is: "Is anyone really buying and using it in real business? The question in the case of Morpho is a resounding yes. It unlocked the institutional doors with the help of the isolated market order. The Coinbase Connection: Towards the end of 2024/2025, Coinbase, the largest crypto exchange in the US, incorporated Morpho to enable it to deploy its lending products on the Base network. Why is it that they took Morpho instead of Aave? Because of Risk Isolation. Coinbase had no financial capacity to invest the money of its users in a communal fund where they could be exposed to potentially dangerous DeFi assets. Coinbase could build a clean market using Morpho; pure USDC, pure ETH, and very strict parameters. Real World Assets (RWAs): RWA protocols with Morpho are increasing. Morpho markets are being established by companies that are titling Treasury bills or corporate credit in the US. They are able to borrow stablecoins on a no-interest basis on a real-world asset. The Holy Grail of DeFi: integrating the traditional finance environment (which is worth $20 trillion) with the pace of blockchain. Morpho does not present itself as a crypto casino, but that of the Fintech infrastructure. Morpho is encouraging millions of apps to be powered as Stripe powers millions of websites. Part VI: Future - A Public Financial utility. The future of Morpho until the end of 2025 and after is ambitious. They are going cross-chain, leaving Ethereum to high-performance Layer 2s. They are improving the experience of the Vault to enable it to rival the savings account paying a high rate with that of an average individual. But the philosophical vision is the one which is most compelling. According to Paul Frambot and his team, Morpho is considered as a Public Good. The traditional world has a gatekept credit. Banks make decisions on loan issuance and the rate at which loan is charged, which is mostly grounded on vague and prejudiced criteria. The original generation of DeFi was an open and inefficient risky credit. Morpho is the evolution of the industry. It provides a framework in which the regulations are clear (on-chain), the optimization of efficiency (isolated markets), and the risk of management by experts of your own choice (Curators). It is more of a move through Trustless towards Trust-Minimised. We do not need to believe the bank manager that he is not going to steal the money (the code does not allow that). It is merely necessary to leave the Curator to judge of the market and in case they fail, the evil is contained in a localised, rather than in a systemic, poor. Conclusion Morpho ($MORPHO ) never stands out of the crowd. They will not go on to buy Super Bowl ads and promote meme coins. They are the engineers on the ground floor, who are quietly strengthening the concrete and steel of the DeFi skyscraper. But take no mistake: they are earth shaking. They have resolved the efficiency vs. risk dilemma to make a protocol that is not too safe to the institutions, and yet not too open to all. Morpho is developing the rails that you will be riding on, whether you are a yield farmer, a DAO, or a large fintech company, in the future. With the crypto market no longer being a speculative industry but more of a utility industry, projects such as Morpho, which are real yield-regal, real infrastructure, and real solutions are the ones that are going to take over the earth. What's Next for You? Whether this plunge into Morpho aroused your curiosity, nothing like watching it can be a better way to comprehend it. Will you tell me to go through how to look at the risk measures of a particular Morpho Vault, or, perhaps, how to purchase and hold as shareholder a type of token: $MORPHO ? #Morpho @Morpho Labs 🦋
Linea: Zero-Knowledge Highway By ConsenSys The Rebuilding of the Ethereum Scalability Storey
Even with the fast- growing environment of blockchain technology, there is one critical issue that has continued to loom over the brilliant prospects of Ethereum, and that is the issue of scalability. A major smart contract platform in the world, a blossoming digital civilization with its own kind of humming decentralised applications (dApps), is frequently like a big-town with just a single street. At peak traffic, that is, a manic NFT drop, or a significant DeFi event, that road becomes clogged, and the gas fee goes through the roof, virtually making itself the prerogative of an average user. Enter Linea is a Layer-2 solution but is not really an upgrading, it is a restructuring of how Ethereum can scale. Created by ConsenSys, the founder of the key Web3 infrastructure such as MetaMask and Infura, Linea is not only a faster lane, but an Ethereum-Equivalent Zero-Knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine (zkEVM) a technological breakthrough that will open up the potential of billions of users of the Web3. This is more than just a technical tour of the trenches, but a discussion of a project that is ambitious in terms of vision, its own tokenomics, as well as the institutional support to achieve the goal of bridging the current state of the decentralised web to the fully-scaled, global house of all things, on chain. The Fundamental Technology: ZK-EVM Equivalence and the Leap of Faith The core of the feature of Linea is its expertise in Zero-Knowledge Rollup (zk-Rollup) technology, namely, the use of a zkEVM. We shall begin by briefly comprehending the competition in order to know why this is a quantum leap. The Scaling Trilemma There are two types of solutions of layer-2: Optimistic Rollups (e.g., Arbitrum, Optimism): The optimistic rollup type of rollup assumes that transactions are valid by default and only computes a foolproof on challenge (thus, optimistic). Although they work, they also bring with them a seven day period to withdraw so that they do not have to rush into challenges.Zero-Knowledge Rollups (zk-Rollups): These are based on rather complicated cryptography and provide proofs of validity of a set of transactions off-chain and upload only one, small proof on the Ethereum mainnet. This gives near-immediate finality and the improved security assurances, because the evidence can be mathematically checked, and is instant, not exposed to a time-delayed objection. The EVM Equivalence (Type 2 zkEVM) Differentiator of Linea. The only real bottleneck to early zk-Rollups was compatibility with the core logic of Ethereum Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). This is directly taken care of by Linea with a Type 2 zkEVM. EVM Equivalence vs. Compatibility: EVM compatibility refers to the existence of some Ethereum code that is compatible with it, possibly with modifications. The equivalent of EVM that Linea attains is that developers can execute any code, Ethereum smart contract or dApp, at Linea without any modifications whatsoever. This uninterrupted migration is radically simplifying the barrier to adoption of the thousands of developers who already know the Solidity language and the enormous Ethereum toolkit (Truffle, Hardhat, MetaMask, etc.). More rapid Finality and Securities Linea can determine the validity of thousands of transactions with a small zk-SNARK (Zero-Knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Argument of Knowledge) proof and thus it is capable of finalising significantly faster than optimistic rollups and anecdotal removal of the week-long wait to obtain a withdrawal. In essence, Linea has powerful security and decentralisation as inherited by Ethereum and in such a way, sales are ensured by the L1 network itself. Future-Proofing Lattice-Based Cryptography: It was also reported that Linea has been exploring and deploying lattice-based cryptography which is a technology, allegedly quantum-resistant. Such a future-looking security measure makes Linea more a chain ready on a hypothetical day when quantum computers may pose a challenge to the conventional cryptographic systems of to-day, a major technical edge over much of its competitors. Linea is, to say the least, a zero-knowledge highway: it will be as fast and as inexpensive as a Layer-2 but will offer the familiar user experience and security of the Ethereum mainnet. The Revolutionary Tokenomics: Incentive Optimization. Against a backdrop of hyperinflated token supply and allocated insider tokens, Linea Company presents a much needed, and, in fact, Ethereum-centric tokenomics model to defy the normative Layer-2 playbook in relation to the tokenomics modelling of the so-called $LINEA . ETH as the Gas Token A bold step taken by Linea is the fact that they do not take into account the native $LINEA token when charging transactions. The ETH is used to pay all gas charges on the Linea network. This is a powerful decision: As an asset: It makes Ethereum a stronger primary economic instrument and currency of gas, both in the larger ecosystem and its Layer-2s. User Friendliness: The user just has to hold ETH to operate on Linea and do not have to buy a new native gas token to do it. The Dual-Burn Mechanism: Growth of Symbioses Given that Linea makes a revenue in ETH, the company applies a part of its net ETH earnings to design a powerful, deflationary mechanism to both the networks: 20% Burn: This part of Net ETH Profits is permanently destroyed without entering the supply of the ETH, which also makes Ethereum deflationary in nature (like EIP-1559). 80% of Net ETH Profits are purchased and burned $LINEA : This amount is spent to purchase on the open market and burn the native elements of $LINEA , a direct and measurable connexion between Line Network Activity (quantified in terms of ETH fees) and the deflationary pressure of the $LINEA token. Such order establishes a symbiotic economic connexion between Linea and ETH is enhanced by the success of Linea, and the demand of the $LINEA is produced through the use of the real network in an organic manner. Equal Distribution: VC and Insider No Allocation Perhaps the best humanised and community oriented part of the tokenomics of Linea is the allocation strategy: Zero Allocation of VCs, Insiders or Team Members- This represents an actual innovation, making the explicit allocation apparently void, which is subject to criticism of centralised control and huge investor dumps. 85% of Ecosystem Growth and Community Rewards: The enormous majority of the supply is allocated to an Ecosystem Fund and Early Contributor Airdrops (LXP holders) as an incentive to users, liquidity providers, and network builders and controllers to actively use and contribute to the network. The framing of the value of the token as linked to verifiable network activity is helping Linea, by putting the community first, in an effort to construct a long-term, sustainable ecosystem, as opposed to a short-term speculation vehicle. ConsenSys Support and Enterprise River Linea is not a straggling start-up. It is incubated and created by one of the most reputable and well established in the Ethereum space ConsenSys, co-founded by Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin. The assistance has two gigantic benefits: Uninterrupted Integration and Distribution On-ramps of Web3 users are ConsenSys products: MetaMask: The non-custodial wallet that is the most used in the world can be easily added to the world of Linea, where the Layer-2 will become available to the millions of users around the world instantly. Infura: An important unit of Ethereum infrastructure deployed by thousands of dApps and developers of Infura, and it guarantees Linea solid, enterprise-grade tooling right at the start. This connexion implies that Linea does not need to struggle with the sometimes-challenging issue of acquiring users and developers to start with at all, it is connected to the major vessels of the Ethereum ecosystem. Moving into TradFi (SWIFT Pilot) The credibility and organisational authority of ConsenSys have enabled Linea to penetrate into traditional finance (TradFi), which is perceived to be reluctant to embrace the concept of blockchain technology. SWIFT Pilot: Linea SWIFT (the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication), the global interbank messaging system, was particularly interested in trying out new infrastructure to support cross-border, on-chain interbank messaging with the help of SWIFT Pilot: Linea. This historic pilot, which incorporated big banks, such as BNP Paribas and BNY Mellon is indicative of Linea becoming a foundation to institutional grade blockchain settlement. This institutional adoption storey sets Linea apart in a number of crypto-native competitors and establishes it as a chain capable of serving the masses of the decentralised economy, as well as the largest financial entities in the global economy. Roadmap to Decentralisation and Future Growth. The path that Linea takes is by no means the final one and its efforts to subordinate itself to the spirit of Ethereum are reaffirmed through its obvious decentralisation roadmap. Transition to Type 1 zkEVM: A fully developed zkEVM is intended to be Type 1 that is, it is an implementation that is identically equivalent to the Ethereum execution environment. This is the state that Linea will attain by 2026, which would even further establish the status of the project being the most Ethereum-oriented Layer-2 solution. Decentralised Sequencer: Linea is currently utilising a centralised sequencer in order to be fast and have a better user experience. Nevertheless, this part is planned to become gradually decentralised whereby various parties (that may be stakers or token holders) can join block ordering and proof generation. This action is important to fix the single points of failure and have a real and Ethereum-level censorship resistance. Ecosystem Expansion: Linea has experienced a fast rise, and there are hundreds of dApps released, the Total Value Locked (TVL) continues to grow, and the social activity is enormous. Secondary campaigns will continue to be launched at the individual brand level, including the Linea Surge (the immediate aftermath of the successful Linea Voyage LXP campaign) or the initial engagement of the community in financial incentives by actively promoting the network effect. The Verdict: A New Higher Standard of Layer-2s. Linea is not just any Layer 2 competitor, it is a new definition of what a scaling solution ought to be: Technologically Superior: It has the best security and finality of zk-Rollups plus the developer experience unmatched by EVM Equivalence. Economically Symbiotic: Its special Dual-Burn Tokenomics venerates its success to both its health in the long-run of both its own token (LINEA) and Ethereum (ETH), a new game changer in value capture in Layer-2. Institutionally Approved: It has ConsenSys support, and its participation in initiatives like the SWIFT pilot gives it authority and access to resources that none of its competitors benefits. Scaling trilemma can be resolved without damaging the important principles of Ethereum that are considered holy including its quality of security, decentralisation, and compatibility therefore; Linea is creating the Zero-Knowledge Highway that is really needed. Infrastructure will be the only thing that may result in the realisation of the mass adoption era and make Web3 available, affordable, and safe to all. Linea will contribute as one of the most influential forces to the future of the decentralised internet as the ecosystem continues to expand and the roadmap toward complete decentralisation approaches. #Linea $LINEA @Linea.eth
