The Curve Protocol is one of the largest and most used projects in the Decentralized Finance (DeFi) space. It is integrated with most DeFi protocols and has seen rapid adoption in a short window. It’s essentially the most competent automated market maker (AMM) out there for stablecoins and wrapped tokens. Curve’s most valuable accomplishment has been giving people incentive to contribute liquidity and earn rewards over their idle assets. A community-based project, the protocol innovates continuously and is now progressing towards total decentralization.  In this guide, we take a look

In my view, Bitcoin Independence Day is a holiday that says a lot about the BTC community. Its origins are highly technical and difficult to understand, the “independence” it celebrates refers to the developer community overcoming interests from industrialized miners and, ultimately, it’s a chance for Bitcoiners to reflect on the young history of the technology and engage in debate. To celebrate, Bitcoin Magazine hosted a day

New data shows that the amount of Bitcoin held by smaller entities has grown significantly. Meanwhile, during the same time, whale-sized BTC wallets declined by a similar margin. Clearly, there’s been a sizable shift in supply, but what exactly does this crypto wealth transfer signify? And is this bullish or bearish for the first-ever cryptocurrency? Supply Restrictions Give Cryptocurrencies Added Value That Isn’t Fully Understood Out of all of Bitcoin’s unique attributes that give it inherent value, nothing compares to the asset’s hard-capped, 21 million BTC supply.

One of the drawbacks of decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols today is that you need different platforms to perform specific functions instead of having them all in one place. And that’s the problem that Instadapp is trying to solve. Instadapp is a DeFi platform that provides users and developers with a single point of integration to access all the DeFi protocols. As we are in the early days of the decentralized web, Instadapp aims to be a window into multiple DeFi services — tools that make transactions of crypto assets easier.

Before Bitcoin was a movement, it was a digital currency. While the store-of-value aspect of Bitcoin gets highlighted often, the permissionless payments side often doesn’t receive the attention it deserves. In 2012, Jon Holmquist embraced the Black Friday holiday in order to help Bitcoiners showcase the advantages of their favorite technology, launching BitcoinBlackFriday.com and hacking a mainstream cultural moment into a tool for Bitcoin adoption. In years past, thousands of merchants have participated in Bitcoin Black Friday, offering special discounts for those willing to pay in BTC. P2P marketplaces have

mStable is a newly launched DeFi protocol aimed at streamlining the application of stablecoins in a unified ecosystem it aims to create. There are many projects that seek to increase the adoption of cryptos by linking them to traditional financial systems. Stablecoins, for one, have been created to do just that. Using blockchain and smart contracts, the crypto community has devised a way to make digital asset representation of fiat currencies.

Nowadays, if you are interested in gambling, it’s hard to say you have never heard of cryptocurrency. It is no longer the question of what is cryptocurrency but rather which cryptocurrency is the best option. When you looking at one’s financial options, it is hard to make a blanket call on what is the best route to go, but as far as what we can see, when it comes to online gambling one of the best and most rewarding routes to go would be making use of Ethereum in the

Hope it’s not surprising to anyone. Stocks are moving up, precious metals are marching higher, and capital is flowing toward new age financial technology in a way that we’ve never really seen before. There’s a lot more liquidity these days, and it has been floating into all sorts of
