Blockchain and Nation-State Infrastructure: Why Bother?
We listen to talk after talk about crypto finally achieving asset-class legitimacy, but truly speaking, the encroachment of Wall Street giants into the blockchain space is a double-edged sword. The following is an opinion editorial written by Karel Kubat, Founder of Union Labs. As blockchain enthusiasts, we’ve long championed decentralization, transparency, and democratized access—the 2008 … Read more
Plonky3, the Polygon Zero-Knowledge Proving System, Is Production Ready
Polygon Labs has announced that its next-generation zero-knowledge (ZK) proving system, Polygon Plonky3, is now production-ready. This open-source system, licensed under MIT/Apache, empowers developers to build bespoke proving systems for ZKVM or ZK EVM chains, tailored to various use cases. Unlike its predecessor, Plonky2, which was optimized for hardware and recursion, Plonky3 offers greater flexibility … Read more
Web3 Marketing Strategist Says It’s a ‘Mistake’ to Frame Blockchain and AI as Competing Technologies
According to Catherine Daly, the marketing head at Space and Time, framing artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain as competing industries would be a mistake. Instead, Daly believes “there’s a lot of room for each to accelerate the other.” To illustrate this point, she identified onchain transacting AI agents as one example demonstrating why artificial intelligence … Read more
