The landscape of crypto is rapidly changing, driven by a race to blend institutional reliability with decentralized innovation. This movement is perfectly encapsulated by the recent announcement of Kalshi $2 million grant program, backed by Base and Solana. The desire to forecast outcomes, whether it's the next Fed rate decision or an election result is a natural human impulse. Prediction markets formalize this by turning collective insight into a tradeable asset, where the contract price ref...

Launchpads were meant to empower builders. Yet over time, many have drifted into zero-sum environments where projects compete against each other for liquidity, attention, and short-term upside. In these Player vs. Player models, one project’s success often comes at the expense of another. District is taking a fundamentally different approach. With the introduction of the $1M Builder Fund, District is establishing the core engine behind its Flywheel, a system designed to compound value over ti...

Jacob Horne, the Co-Founder and CEO of Zora Labs, is a visionary pushing to redefine digital ownership for creators. Originally from Sydney, Australia, Horne’s ambition was sparked early: his first entrepreneurial endeavor was buying soda in bulk from a corner auto store to resell for profit, due to the scarcity of cafeterias. This early recognition of market inefficiency is a thread that runs through his career. A keen Formula 1 enthusiast, he often quotes the legendary Sir Jackie Stewart's ...

On December 3, 2025, the Ethereum network activated the Fusaka Upgrade, a structural hard fork that analysts widely regard as the network's most consequential scaling enhancement since the introduction of blobs in Dencun. Named for the coordinated Fulu (Consensus Layer) and Osaka (Execution Layer), it fundamentally rewrites the data availability logic, directly empowering Layer 2 (L2) rollups and paving the road for the next phase of mass adoption. The upgrade’s impact is designed to be felt ...

For years, onchain spending has forced users to make a trade-off. You could choose lower costs and accept friction, or prioritise convenience and sacrifice efficiency. This tension has limited crypto’s ability to function as a true everyday payment layer rather than a tool for holding or trading assets. Cypher changes that equation on Base. By enabling everyday spending with major cbAssets on Base, Cypher brings cost efficiency and convenience together in a way that feels practical, fast, and...

Launched on December 4, 2025, the Base-Solana Bridge is a critical step toward a unified onchain economy, directly linking the Coinbase-backed EVM ecosystem with the high-throughput Solana network. This breakthrough is secured by Chainlink's CCIP and Coinbase's joint validation, shattering the traditional barriers between their architectures. The integration enables Base developers to natively support Solana assets ( SOL) in their applications, unifies liquidity across both massive ecosystems...
