That’s the Web3 dream – a decentralized utopia liberated from the oppressive grip of centralized powers. Let’s be brutally honest, the NimDoor malware attack on macOS is a wake-up call. It’s a blaring siren screaming that our decentralized, homeland-security-esque castles are built on disturbingly shaky ground. We've been so busy...
The crypto world moves at warp speed. What was successful yesterday could be the recipe for disaster today or in the future. We all know the standard advice: DYOR (Do Your Own Research). What if the fatal flaw lies at the very beginning of your research? Even veteran analysts, the...
Let’s be real. We know the crypto world has largely been a playground for the ultra wealthy. They’re not just the sharks, they’re the whales — the whales who can cash splash on anything that glitters and still win. That's a myth. So you can still find great projects with...

If we’re being real, today’s DeFi user experience is frequently an impenetrable walled garden. The institutions with the very deep pockets, those are the ones who are always getting the lionshare of the winnings. What of the solo coders, the small teams with big dreams and bigger ideas, but not...
And yet, for all the promise of DeFi, it can sometimes feel like a carnival side show. Shiny prizes (upwardly spiking APYs) entice, but the house always wins.
