A New Era of Ownership

Months ago, the mainstream media wrote articles about how crypto was dead and that there would never be another bull run. Wild predictions of Bitcoin going to zero sought to instill fear in people so they would turn away from the markets and invest in more traditional assets. Yet, despite the doomsday prophecies, Bitcoin has surged to new heights, defying expectations even before the halving takes place. The media has quickly forgotten its failed predictions and instead turned its attention to the NFT market, echoing similar skepticism. Several articles have

Analyzing Token Sale Models

Note: I mention the names of various projects below only to compare and contrast their token sale mechanisms; this should NOT be taken as an endorsement or criticism of any specific project as a whole. It's entirely possible for any given project to be total trash as a whole and yet still have an awesome token sale model. The last few months have seen an increasing amount of innovation in token sale models. Two years ago, the space was simple: there were capped sales, which sold a fixed number of

A Note On Charity Through Marginal Price Discrimination

Vitalik Buterin via the Vitalik Buterin Blog Updated 2018-07-28. See end note. The following is an interesting idea that I had two years ago that I personally believe has promise and could be easily implemented in the context of a blockchain ecosystem, though if desired it could certainly also be implemented with more traditional technologies (blockchains would help get the scheme network effects by putting the core logic on a more neutral platform). Suppose that you are a restaurant selling sandwiches, and you ordinarily sell sandwiches for $7.50. Why did

[Mirror] Quadratic Arithmetic Programs: from Zero to Hero

Vitalik Buterin via the Vitalik Buterin Blog This is a mirror of the post at https://medium.com/@VitalikButerin/quadratic-arithmetic-programs-from-zero-to-hero-f6d558cea649 There has been a lot of interest lately in the technology behind zk-SNARKs, and people are increasingly trying to demystify something that many have come to call "moon math" due to its perceived sheer indecipherable complexity. zk-SNARKs are indeed quite challenging to grasp, especially due to the sheer number of moving parts that need to come together for the whole thing to work, but if we break the technology down piece by piece then

The Challenges and Opportunities behind the Convergence of AI and Blockchain.

  Over the last decade, the potential overlap between cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence (AI) — two significant technological trends of the last decade. The curiosity stems from a natural inclination to find a connection between these innovative domains. On the surface, the synergy seems apparent: the decentralizing force of cryptocurrency could offset the centralizing tendencies of AI, while AI's complexity could be made more transparent through blockchain technologies, which are adept at data management and verification. However, the conversation often hit a snag when delving into concrete applications, leading to

Paribus Embracing DAO transition.

In our journey of developing Paribus, we’ve received a lot of feedback from our community, primarily positive and helpful. But, as is often the case when a small team controls a platform, not everyone agrees with our decisions. At every step, we’ve tried to make the best choices based on the information we had. We’ve always known that, eventually, it would be the community’s turn to take the lead in guiding Paribus. And, as we announced in our recent X-space update, that time is approaching fast with the release of
