Cracking the Code: How Velora Epochs Distribute Rewards and Refunds
Velora’s Epochs are more than just a date on the governance calendar, they are the engine room of the protocol’s incentive system.Every four weeks, the DAO turns on a finely tuned mechanism that channels protocol fees back to the community, rewarding commitment, contribution, and activity. Built and maintained by WakeUp Labs, this system leverages PSP 2.0’s Social Escrow model and the automation upgrades introduced in PIP-55 to run with precision, transparency, and minimal manual intervention...
Stylus in 2025 & the First DevConnect Stylus Gathering
Throughout 2025, Arbitrum Stylus world growth y Toward the end of the year, we had our first stylus oriented gathering where several speakers presented the projects they’ve been building. It turned out to be a great meetup that brought together most of the builders in the ecosystem. We’re glad it happened, and we’re excited to keep moving forward on this path, making smart contracts faster, more performant and more efficient, while opening the door for more developers to use these tools.
Membership Verification and Identity Standards for Optimism’s ZK Toolkit
These two milestones highlight our progress in enabling seamless membership verification on the testnet and integrating the W3C Decentralized Identifier (DID) standard into our solution as part of the Optimism mission: ZK Toolkit for ZK Application Developers. Together, these advancements establish a solid foundation for scalable and interoperable decentralized identity management.Basic Membership Verification on TestnetTo make decentralized membership verification accessible, we built a foun...

An introduction to the project that aims to provide NFT infrastructure.
By 0xMilton.
WakeUp is an organization that believes in decentralization as a technological and social paradigm, and in empowering people to gain their sovereignty in all their digital interactions by removing unnecessary intermediaries and barriers.
We believe in the web3 ethos, started with Bitcoin, continued by Ethereum and then by many other blockchains.

We’ve seen blockchain technology thrive, first with cryptocurrencies and as a store of value, then with the democratization of access to financial services with DeFi, and last year (2021) with the technology that will define property rights for the upcoming era: NFT (non-fungible tokens).
Due to the permissionless and composability features offered by web3, we can all build and add new Lego bricks to a single collaborative construction. For instance, this year more and more Lego bricks will be added on top of the NFT base blocks that were set up last year.

We are sure that NFTs are not just pfp (profile pictures) or beautiful jpegs. NFTs are as simple and as complex to define who is the owner of a specific asset in the entire universe, both physical and digital (aka “metaverse”). Whether it’s a digital artwork, a metaverse land, a video game or a physical world asset; in a decentralized, intermediary-less, trustless, and open way.
In WakeUp we are building products and solutions that add more utility to the NFTs, also that enhance the NFT experience for users and lower the complexity for devs of NFT dapps, protocols, services, games, collections, among others. And we are doing it by working side by side with them all, staying focused on their real needs.
NFT adoption growth will be immense in the upcoming years, and the infrastructure is still not ready to bring next level of NFTs & platforms to life. We aim to support that growth, but we also want to be part of this innovation.
Soon more updates about WakeUp, stay tuned!
