Over the past year, the Ethereum DeFi ecosystem has experienced explosive growth, with locked funds exceeding 14 billion USD at their highest, a more than 20-fold increase from last year, and the risks contained within are accelerating. On November 24, renowned venture capital firm Multicoin Capital published a new blog post titled "The DeFi Stack" on its official website, authored by partners Spencer Applebaum and Matt Shapiro, as well as analyst Shayon Sengupta.
This article summarizes and analyzes the progress since Polkadot mainnet launch. In terms of technology, Substrate has been updated to version 2.0, and Polkadot's parachain functionality is coming soon. In terms of governance, Polkadot's on-chain governance has been initiated, but issues of large holder power concentration and low public voting participation still exist. In terms of ecosystem applications, there are already nearly 100 projects developed based on Substrate, with the most concentrated in the DeFi sector.
Join the PolkaWorld community to co-build Web 3.0! Note: This article was originally published on April 17, 2014 on gavofyork (Gavin Wood)'s blog "Insights into a Modern World," when Gavin was still serving as Ethereum's co-founder and CTO, and had not yet founded Polkadot.
The curtain has officially risen on Ethereum 2.0. As of November 24, the minimum conditions to trigger the ETH 2.0 beacon chain genesis block have been met - at least 16,384 validators staking 32 ETH each within 7 days before December 1, with total staking amount exceeding 524,288 ETH. Therefore, the beacon chain will go live as scheduled on December 1 at 8 PM Beijing time, the earliest planned launch time.
(Blooming Peach Blossoms, Van Gogh) Pickle is merging into Yearn. This is a development following the attack Pickle experienced last weekend. Such a change would have been unimaginable a week ago, but it is now reality. The two projects reached a merger agreement in just a few days at lightning speed. It's hard to imagine that if these were traditional startups, they could complete a merger in less than a week. Compared to traditional corporate mergers, this is at "light" speed and represents a new direction in DeFi protocol project development.

As the undisputed first celebrity of decentralized finance (DeFi), Andre Cronje (AC)'s every move is under the spotlight, and topics surrounding him never cease. Controversies about him are never-ending. This year alone, the 'coin-issuing maniac' AC has launched 5 projects in one go. Despite multiple new projects consecutively failing, with YFI's 'mythical' 100x return in 2 months that made AC famous, AC remains the beacon of wealth for investors.

In this wild crypto landscape filled with wealth, desire, and greed, an empire is quietly rising with careful planning and great ambition. Only this year have people truly seen its full picture. 'If you don't know whether to buy or sell BTC, look at Grayscale's moves to get the answer.' In recent months, no institution has received more attention than Grayscale (灰度).
Author: Kylin Editor: Xiaohui ETH has easily broken through the $500 mark, then breached the $600 mark with almost no resistance. With the arrival of ETH 2.0, how high will ETH break through? In 2020, Bitcoin, Ethereum and other mainstream cryptocurrencies have become preferred safe-haven assets by investors over traditional mainstream assets. At year-end, BTC and ETH have reversed their previous downturn, consecutively reaching new highs for the year. BTC has surpassed $18,600, approaching the $20,000 mark, with price performance second only to late 2017.
When it comes to NFT, most people associate it with crypto art and gaming. As a non-fungible token, NFT seems to have certain limitations and is difficult to apply in other fields. Crypto Candy thinks differently. As an innovative parenting community, Crypto Candy is the first to introduce crypto technology into the parenting field, implementing NFT-based voucher issuance. This pioneering collaboration between the parenting and crypto fields provides more possibilities for the future development direction of NFT.
Five years ago, Ethereum emerged as a groundbreaking first-largest public chain globally. Five years later, although Ethereum's technology appears inferior to competitors (most of which emerged during the 2017 ICO boom), its extremely low TPS greatly limits the performance of DApps developed on Ethereum. Since Ethereum is based on the PoW consensus mechanism, it can reach a maximum of 15 TPS. However, at the same time, other public chains using more efficient PoS consensus mechanisms (such as Polkadot and Solana) can process hundreds or even thousands of TPS.
On November 5th, Ethereum's ETH 2.0 staking contract was officially deployed, opening community staking of 32 ETH to become validators, with expected collection of at least 524,288 ETH and 16,384 validators before December 1st. Meanwhile, Vitalik also published an article advocating for PoS, explaining why ETH 2.0 chose PoS. To date, ETH has raised 525,088 ETH, completing 100% of the minimum requirements for Ethereum 2.0 genesis block launch.
After Uniswap stopped liquidity mining, market-making capital flowed out significantly, with total locked value dropping from over 3 billion USD to 1.76 billion USD. SushiSwap is the biggest beneficiary. As Uniswap's long-time rival, SushiSwap quickly added a "one-click liquidity migration" function after the opponent stopped mining, providing convenient relocation for Uniswap users. Moreover, it increased mining rewards for certain pools to attract market-making capital inflows.
History doesn't simply repeat itself, but it is always strikingly similar. Our community has several very interesting phenomena that, when listed, you'll find quite strange. For example: 1. Almost everyone knows that 9 out of 10 contract traders end up liquidated and zeroed out, yet contract traders keep coming endlessly, and the contract market's trading volume far exceeds spot markets. 2. Almost everyone knows that BTC will drop before the halving and rise months after the halving is complete. Now that BTC has risen, many people have been shorting from 9,000 all the way to 18,000, and some even more so.
By now, most of us have heard that PayPal has recently begun buying and selling cryptocurrency in the US and will expand to specific international markets in the first half of 2021. Initially, it includes four cryptocurrencies - Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Ethereum (ETH), and Litecoin (LTC). Undeniably, this is a major leap forward for cryptocurrency. Over 361 million active PayPal users will be able to use their cryptocurrency balances to pay for goods and services from 26 million merchants globally.
Before blockchain technology and encrypted digital currencies appeared, the competition between euro and dollar already existed. As a currency issued jointly by major European countries, the euro has been striving to increase its influence in the global currency market. Since blockchain technology and encrypted digital currencies emerged, the competition between euro and dollar has added a new dimension. Beyond paper-based and centralized electronic accounting technology, the two currencies have started a new competition on the encrypted digital currency medium. Moreover, this new medium has added more complexity to the competition between the two.
On November 23, 2020 at 4:00 PM, in the Chain Blabber live room, the topic "From DeFi to Cross-Chain, Who Will Be the Next Web3.0 Disruptor" was shared.

Ethereum expansion is imminent, and with so many expansion solutions, how should investors, developers, and users choose? This is a big question. The information we've obtained is that the world's top blockchain investment institutions with the richest financial resources are hunting the core Ethereum Layer 2 expansion solution development teams, hoping to invest heavily in them.
Since when have cryptocurrencies gradually started appearing in our daily lives? Perhaps you haven't noticed, but undeniably, cryptocurrencies have been gradually accepted by the general public. In gaming, auctions, art, and other fields, cryptocurrencies have begun to spread across all industries, even venturing into parenting. Parenting? How are parenting and crypto related? This is somewhat bewildering. But the protagonist of this article, Crypto Candy, is precisely such an "pioneer" that brings cryptocurrency into the parenting field.
Since November, overseas investment institutions like Grayscale Trust have continuously released messages supporting Bitcoin, and Bitcoin is getting closer to breaking through the December 2017 high. The market's definition of this bull market is institutional bull, which is more stable compared to the previous two bull markets. However, during Bitcoin's price rally, market sentiment seems less enthusiastic, showing huge contrast with the previous two bull markets. Some even joked that this bull market is "Pancake Guy's" lonely journey.
This week, the "scientists" (hackers who exploit technical prowess and knowledge thresholds to harvest DeFi yields) are very busy. On November 14th, hackers attacked Value DeFi's MultiStablesVault pool and obtained nearly 7.4 million USD in DAI. On November 17th, hackers attacked Origin Protocol and minted 20.5 million OUSD out of thin air.
Since the publication of the article "A rollup-centric ethereum roadmap", the entire community has raised questions about Ethereum's roadmap, especially Ethereum 2.0. On November 18, 2020, in the fifth AMA activity of the Ethereum Foundation's Eth2.0 research team (Chinese extract translation), Vitalik clearly stated that the roadmap has changed: (1) Phase 2 is no longer temporarily emphasized as important,
Recently, a DeFi protocol called Circular Economy began spreading in some crypto trading groups, attracting ETH deposits. This project uses a model of daily lock-in compound interest and ten-level referral commissions that is highly characteristic of a Ponzi scheme, reminiscent of the defunct fund scam "PlusToken".
In 2020, the trend of Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC, Central Bank Digital Currency) spread across global economies. Whether it's China's pilot implementation or the attitude shifts of the United States, Japan, South Korea, and European countries, CBDC has initiated an unprecedented "global resonance".
On November 21, 2020, Bitcoin fluctuated upward, briefly approaching $19,000. ETH was reported at $542.19 as of press time, hitting its highest level since June 21, 2018, with mainstream coins that previously followed suit also surging broadly. According to CoinMarketCap, the total market cap of cryptocurrencies currently stands at $541.436 billion, with 24-hour trading volume at approximately $174.745 billion, and Bitcoin (BTC) accounting for 64.5% of market share.
On Thursday, Morgan Creek and Exos Financial submitted a new Bitcoin (BTC) fund application to the US Securities and Exchange Commission. If approved, this fund would provide institutional investors with another way to go long on Bitcoin without the volatility risks that come with direct Bitcoin holdings. Kevin Rooke reported that the Morgan Creek-Exos Risk Management Bitcoin Fund has been submitted to US regulators. The fund intends to provide direct Bitcoin exposure through built-in mechanisms to reduce allocation when quantitative signals turn negative.
Earlier today, Bitcoin (BTC) on Binance reached $18,815 for the first time in nearly three years. Following the breakout, Bitcoin is poised to set a new all-time high in the short term for four reasons. Growing institutional demand, reduced selling pressure, spot-driven market rebounds, and the importance of breaking through the $18,500 resistance level are potential factors that could create a new high. BTC/USD 4-hour chart Source: TradingView.com Decreased Selling Pressure on Bitcoin Bitcoin holders first need to deposit Bitcoin to exchanges in order to sell Bitcoin.
