    What is AirSwap? The Decentralized Peer-to-Peer Trading Platform

    AirSwap is a non-custodial platform for peer-to-peer over-the-counter (OTC) and request for quote (RFQ) trading of Ethereum ERC-20 tokens and non-fungible tokens (NFTs), which enables individuals and trading firms to swap tokens directly with each other. The platform is decentralized because AirSwap does not control the users’ funds and trading execution is done via smart contracts. AirSwap’s peer-to-peer swaps are non-custodial and atomic, which the platform claims helps to eliminate counterpar...

    What Is the Bitcoin Halving? How Bitcoin's Supply Is Limited

    Earn a free on-chain NFT by taking our course, "Bitcoin Halving 101: What it Means for Miners and Investors." Every four years, the amount of Bitcoin doled out to cryptocurrency miners halves in a process imaginatively known as the Bitcoin halving (or halvening, though the term has fallen out of favor in recent years). Here’s why—and how—it works. Bitcoin’s supply limit To understand the Bitcoin halving, we must first understand the theory behind its supply. The inventor of Bitcoin, Satoshi Naka...

  • What Is Tokenization?

    Traditional asset management is a laborious process. It often requires the involvement of numerous middlemen, including various state bodies and regulators.  Assets such as stocks, bonds, property, or even land can often be prohibitively expensive and time-consuming to manage, putting them beyond the reach of the vast majority of the world’s population.  What’s more, traditional asset management typically involves complex legal agreements and lots of paperwork, which makes it all very difficult...

    What Is Decentralized Finance (DeFi)?

    Decentralized finance has been touted as a possible solution to lowering the barrier of entry for those who struggled to access bank accounts. And more recently, it's being utilized by cryptocurrency owners for another purpose: to make more money. But isn’t all of crypto decentralized finance, anyway? Sort of. The DeFi movement refers to a specific genre of financial product that champions decentralization above all else, and uses lucrative incentive mechanisms to encourage investors to play alo...

    What Is ERC-721?

    In 2017, ERC-20 was the Ethereum token standard that launched a thousand ICOs. Today, ERC-721 has launched a thousand non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Originally the lesser-known cousin of the ERC-20, ERC-721 has grown to become a pillar of the Ethereum ecosystem, underpinning billions of dollars worth of NFTs.  Blockchains are a revolutionary technology upon which entirely new models of value and ownership are being developed.

    What is Wrapped Bitcoin?

    Bitcoin is the world’s first, largest, and most-recognized crypto asset. Since Bitcoin’s creation over a decade ago, the technology behind the revolutionary “peer-to-peer electronic cash system” has largely remained the same. But Bitcoin isn't the be-all and end-all of cryptocurrency. On smart contract blockchains such as Ethereum, developers have created a thriving decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. In order to use Bitcoin within Ethereum's DeFi ecosystem, it's necessary to create an ERC-...

  • What Is the Ethereum Name Service (ENS)?

    In the early days of the web, to access a website you needed to type in the IP address, a string of numbers that were difficult to remember and almost impossible to guess. Then came human-readable names to make it easier for actual people to surf the world wide web. That shift turned 104.26.3.128 into Decrypt.co! Cryptocurrency is still very much in the IP address phase: Users need long, difficult-to-remember addresses in order to access the pages they want. That's where the Ethereum Name Servic...

    What Is Ethereum Classic?

    Ethereum Classic is a smart contract platform and cryptocurrency. Ethereum Classic (ETC) shouldn’t be confused with Ethereum (ETH), even though they were the same until an argument led to divorce. Below we explore what led to the split. What is Ethereum Classic? Ethereum Classic is very similar to Ethereum because it shares a common origin. It's a blockchain that allows other applications to be built atop it. These decentralized applications, or dapps, use code known as smart contracts so that p...

  • What is Cosmos Network (ATOM), the Internet of Blockchains?

    At the moment, a blockchain tends to act as its own universe with almost no way to communicate with the world outside of its network–without third-party help anyway. As a result, bickering, tribalism, and maximalism among the supporters of the various different blockchains has become the norm. But can there be one blockchain to unite them all? Take a trip as we explore Cosmos, the "Internet of blockchains". What is Cosmos Network? Cosmos' aim is simple: to enable any blockchain to communicate, s...
