Ethereum: On the Verge of the Merge
IntroductionEthereum has developed into a key pillar of the crypto ecosystem cementing itself as the second largest digital asset by market capitalization after Bitcoin. The smart-contract platform has given rise to a burgeoning landscape of tokens and decentralized applications (Dapps) onboarding a large volume of users into the digital-asset space. The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) allows developers to deploy code in the form of smart-contracts that are verified and executed on the blockch...

Goldfinch Finance: An Overview
The DeFi Ecosystem TodayThe DeFi ecosystem is currently made up of a thriving set of protocols harnessing the ability of blockchains to provide a more decentralized, transparent and accessible access to Borrowing/Lending, Staking, Exchanges and Structured Products (Options, perpetuals etc…) However, amongst this ecosystem, another crucial piece is the intersection of Real-World Assets (RWA’s) and DeFi. By bringing these two together, real world problems can be solved in a more transparent, ef...

Cutting Through the Noise: Token Metrics To Keep An Eye On
As we sit in a bear market - there’s increasing amounts of noise echoing from every direction - particularly on Twitter where sentiment has been chaotic to say the least. It’s become difficult to focus on fundamentals and easy to get carried away by the panic. Over the last few months we’ve encountered a turning point in the macro-economic environment with decade-high inflation paired with the start of quantitative tightening (QT) which has led to risk-assets (such as technology stocks & cryp...

Uncovering Blockchain
Decentralization, peer to peer, permission-less, immutable — what do these terms mean and why do they matter?It’s probably safe to assume that at this point, you have heard of various crypto-assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, NFT’s and more recently the extension of our physical lives into the virtual world —the Metaverse. However, before we start to float into these intangible worlds let’s bring our two feet back on the ground and perhaps below the surface. Uncovering the underlying technolog...
