As RoverX gets ready to roll out the custom price alerts feature, we break down how our design and product teams developed and finalized its UI design from scratch. At RoverX, the development of UI design is a collaborative effort between our designers, product managers, and sometimes our front-end devs. Once our designers receive a brief from the PM, they come up with an initial UI and source feedback, then improve it over several iterations until the final design is agreed upon. With the re...

The Flippening: How ETH will replace BTC as crypto gold

Bitcoin was launched with a hard cap on its maximum supply. There will never be more than 21 million BTC in circulation, and the new BTC created to reward miners is issued in ever decreasing amounts until the last one is minted sometime in 2027. This ensures that BTC doesn’t lose its value through runaway inflation. This trait of having a limited supply (and being the first on the scene) is a key reason why Bitcoin is regarded as the gold standard of crypto. Ethereum, on the other hand, does ...

More than a name: The many use cases of ENS

If you have spent any time at all on Crypto Twitter, you’ve surely come across a few profiles with .eth in their names. In case you don’t already know, that .eth name is an ENS domain. ENS, or Ethereum Naming Service, is a naming service on Ethereum (duh) that links a name you choose to your crypto wallet address. And since an ENS name uses the ERC-721 token standard, it can be bought and sold just like any other NFT. Which is why many users are hoarding names they think will be very valuable...

Ethereum Civil War II: The PoW Fork is splitting the community (again)

Miners want to fork Ethereum post-merge and continue running the PoW chain. Everyone else thinks it’s a bad idea. At the turn of the 19th century, textile workers across England were pissed off. They had spent years learning the craft of weaving and had invested heavily in their workshops only for their livelihoods to be threatened by a new invention — machines. The advent of textile machinery meant that large factories could produce a far higher volume of textile goods with a fraction of the...

Will Ethereum Layer 2s be parasitic to the L1?

The Merge is almost here. Transitioning Ethereum’s consensus mechanism from PoW to PoS is the first step in the blockchain’s 5-stage upgrade plan. In a bid to solve the blockchain trilemma of security, decentralization and scalability, Vitalik and Co. have identified a rollup-centric map as the way forward. Rollups like Optimism, Arbitrum, zkSync and L2 solutions have steadily gained popularity over the last few months. This has led to many within the Ethereum community speculating that the g...

What is MEV and how it endangers Ethereum

Ethereum’s smart contracts enabled the birth of DeFi and forever changed the landscape of retail investing. This naturally has drawn a lot of negative attention from the TradFi sector, with the SEC leading the charge against the highly-valuable blockchain network. But Ethereum’s biggest threat may come from within due to the novel risks posed by MEV. Before I go into what MEV is and how it works, it’ll help to quickly recap how transactions on Ethereum are finalized. When users interact with ...

If Ethereum was a democracy, who would run it?

Comparing the fundamental roles of Ethereum and a democratic countryImagine Ethereum as a sovereign state — A nation state like the USA or England, and not a network state like the one envisioned by Balaji Srinivasan. How does this nation state run? Who does the job of a president or prime minister? Who performs the role of the police and legal courts? And who defends the land from threats like the military? These questions are tricky to answer because Ethereum doesn’t function like any count...

How EIPs are implemented as ERC token standards

In Ethereum, ERC standards serve as templates for the creation and trade of tokens, and are also used to denote application-level standards and conventions. An ERC, which stands for Ethereum Request for Comment, essentially dictates the rules a smart contract or application in the Ethereum network must follow. For instance, ERC-20 is a token standard which allows for the implementation of a standard API for tokens within smart contracts. Used by ETH, DAI, and numerous other crypto tokens, ERC...

Flashbots MEV-boost explained in 5 mins

In an earlier article, I covered the basics of MEV (Maximal Extractable Value), the most common ways it is extracted, and the (mostly negative) impact it has on the Ethereum network as a whole. The problems caused by MEV are quite serious. The competition between and amongst searchers/validators to extract as much value as possible from transactions leads to:A terrible user experience due to the proliferation of frontrunning attacks and the like.High transaction fees and network overload.A he...

You’re an idiot if you believe this about Ethereum

The Merge moved Ethereum from PoW and PoS, and Bitcoin maxis are losing it! Last week, after months and years of waiting, the highly anticipated Merge finally took place, transitioning Ethereum from the energy-intensive Proof of Work consensus model to its GPU-friendly Proof of Stake alternative. While the community celebrated this historic and long-awaited upgrade, Ethereum’s detractors were not long in starting their latest assault, this time claiming that running on PoS has made Ethereum m...

Beyond the JPEG : How NFTs are shaping Digital Communities

NFTs are becoming the cornerstone of web3 communities.NFTs have taken the world by storm over the last few years, with billions having been traded on platforms like Opensea. At the height of NFT mania, everyone from athletes like Tom Brady to celebrities like Justin Beiber seemed to be talking about and buying collections like Bored Ape Yacht Club. With the onset of the bear market and the slowdown, there is the lingering question — “Do Non-fungible tokens have any value beyond being used as ...

Why Vitalik is wrong about ENS pricing

ENS has suddenly become a hot asset in the last few months, so much so that Vitalik felt the need to intervene and write a blog post about how ENS DAO could stop these early grifters from making huge profits while ensuring that the ownership of these assets becomes publicly accessible, which will allow future generations to get a cut of these valuable assets.ENS is the hottest asset on Ethereum and also a playground for experimental pricing mechanismsI agree that renting is a huge issue in to...

Why TradFi should be worried about CBDCs, not crypto

The world’s governments are not happy with crypto. Seeing as how its permissionless, trustless and decentralized nature is anathema to the highly regulated traditional financial sector, most state authorities have dismissed cryptocurrencies as not being either commodities or currencies, since they have no intrinsic value and aren’t backed by collateral (with the exception of stablecoins). But with the evolution of DeFi (decentralized finance) and the growing mass adoption of crypto the world ...
