Exploring the Role of Stablecoins in Enhancing Financial Inclusion in Emerging Markets
The proliferation of Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT) has led to the introduction of revolutionary changes to the global financial landscape, offering a platform for a more democratic financial system by eliminating traditional barriers to entry, and lowering transaction costs, while providing transparent, secure, permissionless and accessible financial services. However, the high volatility associated with most digital assets and cryptocurrencies has limited their appeal as reliable mea...

Comparative Analysis General Purpose vs Application Specific Rollups
Introduction The increased adoption and usage of Ethereum have consequently led to network congestion and limitations in transaction throughput. Thereby hindering the capacity of the network to effectively scale towards accommodating the growing user base across a wide-array of verticals such as Defi, DAO and Gaming. The Ethereum scalability dilemma remains a complex issue that has garnered enormous research and development efforts. Multiple scaling solutions such as sharding, plasma and roll...

Introducing Fecund Trust Fund (I)
Fecund Trust (Fund I) Fecund Trust is a thesis-driven high conviction digital asset-holding fund that invests in disruptive protocols leveraging on the power of blockchain technology and decentralized networks to create novel community incentives and network effects. I firmly believe that the fate of humanity will largely be determined at the frontier of the blockchain technology, which has the potential to create a free, fair, and open society. As a young African, I have always viewed Bitcoi...

Crypto Market Cycles
SOME LESSONS FROM THE CRYPTO BULL RUN This is an unedited rough draft of the lessons learnt during the 2021 Bull run and 2022 Bear Market. Essentially, I am documenting this because “Even through History does not Always Repeat, It does Rhyme”. Capital + Courage in the time of market crash is a blessing. o The best gains from the 2021 Bull run were made by those that were courageous to invest at the depth of the March 2020 Crash. o Dips/Crashes provides the best entry points for maximum (10x, ...

Ethereum (Eth) Layer Two (2) Scaling Primer
Blockchain technology offers tremendous benefits such as trustless interactions, and immutable record-keeping which has largely generated enormous retail and institutional interest. However, the core architectures behind public blockchains lead to a trade-off between decentralization, security, and scalability. The Blockchain Trilemma which was postulated by Vitalik Buterin fundamentally asserts that projects can only optimize two of the three core properties of a public blockchain, which are...
