    Top MIT Researcher Shows Decentralization Could Speed Up Ethereum, Solana

    New research work led by a top MIT researcher suggests that decentralization isn’t just a design choice but a principle of efficiency, where control breaks down as systems scale. In the crypto industry, decentralization is loosely defined as the distribution of power and control across multiple independent participants, rather than a single central authority.  It means that no single entity—such as a company or government—can decide how the system operates, alter the rules, or halt transactions...

    Donald Trump Jr. told a jam-packed conference room at Token 2049 in Singapore how the media’s unfair treatment of his family had spurred them to create alternative forms of channeling attention and engagement. Trump, the son of U.S. President Donald Trump and co-founder of World Liberty Financial, said that the crypto project resulted from the First Family’s efforts to foster friendlier coverage.  “I think my overall experience with the media has been, let's call it, a disaster,” Trump Jr. said....

    The Debate Raging Over Bitcoin's Future

    Bitcoin is heading into a pivotal month as its Core v30 update prepares to roll out in October, but its arrival has reopened a long-running dispute over how the network should operate and respond to new pressures. Core v30 is the upcoming October 2025 release of Bitcoin Core, the network’s reference software client. It introduces a highly contested change: raising the OP_RETURN limit so transactions can carry much larger amounts of non-payment data, such as messages, proofs, or files, that nodes...

    Eric Adams, mayor of New York City, ended his reelection campaign Sunday evening after a term marked by both controversy and his stature as one of the country’s most visible crypto-friendly politicians. Over the course of his tenure, the self-described 'Bitcoin Mayor' had made crypto a key component of his public image: from taking paychecks in Bitcoin three years ago, to calling for the removal of the city’s BitLicense requirements, as well as pitching ways to make New York the “crypto capital”...

    Solana Developers Consider Removing Block Limits Post-Alpenglow Upgrade

    Solana developers are weighing a new proposal to remove block limits once the network’s planned Alpenglow upgrade takes effect, a change aimed at expanding throughput by letting performance scale with validator hardware. Filed Friday as SIMD-0370, the proposal would scrap Solana’s current 60 million compute unit cap per block and instead allow block size to adjust dynamically, meaning blocks could expand to fit as many transactions as the fastest validators can handle, while smaller validators c...
