Decentralizing Popular Dapps Isn't Just a Scaling Problem It's no secret that building large-scale, fully decentralized applications is a challenge, but it turns out the hurdles have to do with more than just scaling. Decentralized application or "dapp" developers frequently hit roadblocks, since ethereum the go-to platform so far in dapps' short history can process only around 25 transactions per second, and the more transactions the network is asked to handle, the more each one costs the user. These limitations on transaction throughput are commonly referred to as "scaling" limitations, and everyone from the casual dapp user to ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin is keenly aware of them...

Privacy Is Vital to Crypto And the Global Economy Imagine if flour millers insisted on knowing the precise identity and originating farm of each grain of wheat delivered to them. It would render the global wholesale crop market dysfunctional. That market depends on buyers accepting products from warehouses and shippers even though they don't know their origins. At the heart of this system is the ancient principle of fungibility: the idea that one unit of a particular product is perfectly interchangeable with another. This principle depends upon an unspoken agreement between market participants that information about a product's history is not only hidden but is actually lost. A product having this quality is, more or less, the very definition of a commodity... Read More
