The blockchain trilemma, proposed by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, states that blockchain systems can only choose two of three properties: decentralization, scalability, and security. This trilemma often means making trade-offs when developing and building web3 infrastructure. Data availability is crucial for all three sides of this triangle. It ensures that all network nodes can get the information they need to check transactions, reach consensus on new blocks, validate state transiti...

Tokens have been a popular solution for crypto projects, rewarding early adopters and incentivizing initial usage around a new project launch. However, this approach often leads to mercenary whales and bot farms who gamify farming rewards to scoop up the majority of liquidity in launch pools, causing the underlying token to crash in price. As a result, the recent cycle of airdrop farming has led to a series of unsuccessful token launches. Luckily, web3 and crypto projects are constantly movin...

Web3 loves a solution – and a layer. The first blockchains changed the game for the internet, introducing a new way of developing, building, and transacting. However, it didn’t take long for these base layer blockchains like Ethereum to welcome some evolution, challenged by high demand and increasing gas fees. Enter Layer 2 (L2) blockchains, a secondary framework to enhance scalability and transaction speed. Linea, launched in 2023, is one of these solutions. As an Ethereum equivalent zkEVM r...
