As the 2026 cycle approaches, Ethereum and Solana are locked in a high‑stakes race for L1 dominance, with developers, institutions and retail capital weighing scalability, security and ecosystem momentum.
Bitcoin mining power has surged to record levels, with the network’s hash rate hitting new highs. Analysts say the growing computational strength signals rising security and renewed confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term resilience.
Full nodes are the backbone of Bitcoin: they validate transactions, enforce consensus rules, and store the blockchain. Learn how running one secures the network and empowers users.
Recent reports indicate that 25% of all public Bitcoin nodes now operate on Bitcoin Knots, signaling a notable shift in the network’s infrastructure. This change could enhance transaction efficiency and security, reflecting evolving user preferences within the Bitcoin ecosystem.
This analysis evaluates Nostr’s decentralized architecture, cryptographic key model, and messaging protocol to assess security guarantees, privacy limitations, and resilience against censorship and network failures.
Onion routing shields users by wrapping data in encryption layers and relaying it through multiple nodes, obscuring origins and destinations to preserve anonymity and resist surveillance.
Block rewards are the payments miners receive for validating blocks. This piece explains how rewards secure networks, influence supply and miner behavior, and the effects as rewards diminish over time.
Mining pools combine miners’ computing power to validate Bitcoin transactions, share rewards and lower variance. This article explains pool mechanisms, fee models and decentralization impacts.
Double spending poses a significant risk in the blockchain landscape, where the same cryptocurrency can be used in multiple transactions. This challenge jeopardizes the trust and security that underpin decentralized systems, requiring robust solutions to maintain integrity.
Block rewards are pivotal in the cryptocurrency landscape, incentivizing miners to validate transactions and maintain network security. As these rewards taper off, they play a crucial role in shaping market dynamics and influencing cryptocurrency values.
