SMART 價格SMART

Stellar Build Better Hackathon Recap Stellar Build Better Hackathon focuses on promoting practical applications in finance, creativity, and accessibility through smart contracts, and encourages developers to innovate in DeFi tools, cross-border payments, creator economy, and other areas.

In a research note out on Tuesday, the British banking giant’s head of digital, Geoff Kendrick, said: “BNB has traded almost exactly in line with an unweighted basket of bitcoin and ether since May 2021 in terms of both returns and volatility.” That’s good news for the Binance exchange and smart chain token. Bitcoin’s price has eclipsed $100,000 again in May, which is typically followed by a substantial increase in some larger-cap altcoins, such as BNB. Moreover, both BTC and ETH are going in some measure into the US digital asset stockpile planned by the current administration. The decrease in available supplies to the market and the confidence of the US government will almost certainly drive these two BNB competitors higher and will likely drag Binance’s coin, as well as the rest of the market. “BNB’s value drivers are unlikely to change anytime soon,” Kendrick added. The primary value drivers for the BNB token are its extensive, highly active, and deeply liquid ecosystem. The Binance exchange is the most active in the world in terms of daily volume. BNB tokens give users discounts on trading fees. Furthermore, BNB can be used as the native base layer token for the Binance Smart Chain, a smart contract blockchain like Ethereum and Solana. Professional money managers and advisors can’t really take projections like this very seriously from anonymous X accounts, even if they provide some semblance of analysis for their often highly exaggerated claims. But, coming from Standard Chartered, that forecast for a 336% ROI by 2028 over May BNB prices is impressive and credible. It wouldn’t be the first time BNB has delivered such performance. Now, VanEck, one of the Bitcoin ETF issuers, just applied in May to be the first BNB ETF issuer in New York. That should give another primary value driver if approved to keep BNB price growth in line with BTC and ETH as StanChart points out it’s been.

Since the announcement of the Pectra update, part of the crypto community has been expressing concerns. The increase of the staking cap to 2,048 ETH fuels fears of centralization. Some fear a takeover by large institutions. But Ethereum, like a good firefighter, tries to extinguish the flames of doubt. Mallesh Pai and Consensys aim to reassure. Are the dice already loaded? Pectra marks a major turning point in the history of Ethereum. With 11 onboarded EIPs, it is the densest update since The Merge. Among the most awaited: EIP-7251, which raises the staking cap to 2,048 ETH. The 32 ETH per validator limit is over. The goal: to attract institutional investors while reducing the technical burden of the network. Behind this consolidation is a clear intention: to simplify the role of validators. But this concentration worries some. They see it as a betrayal of the principle of decentralization. Mallesh Pai, a researcher at Consensys, dismisses these criticisms . According to him: Rewards remain proportional to the ETH staked. Big validators have, he says, no additional advantage. For him, the Pectra update only “removes unnecessary work“. He stresses: the number of validators could drop to 30,000 without loss of security. A well-rehearsed argument, but not universally convincing. The new architecture opens the door to big players. Institutions, long in the background, are entering the dance. BlackRock advocates for a ETH ETFs with integrated staking . The SEC hesitates, but the stake is clear: to offer returns to investors. Artemiy Parshakov from P2P.org confirms the appeal of post-EIP-7002 staking. He speaks of simpler integration, with less risk. Eric Balchunas from Bloomberg remains cautious. He thinks that the impact of ETFs would be limited if the price of Ethereum does not take off. But behind the scenes, protocols are adapting. Obol, a pioneer of Distributed Validator Tech, offers a system without a single point of failure. Each validator is distributed across several operators. Advantages: increased security, transparency, fault tolerance. Lido, EtherFi, Bitcoin Suisse, and Swell adopt this solution. Obol becomes the backbone of institutional staking. And with its OBOL token, the ecosystem gains in governance and coherence. Vitalik Buterin himself praises this model as a pillar of the future Ethereum. The numbers speak for themselves: The ambitions are clear: make Ethereum more scalable, more institutional, but also more technical. The EIP-7702 update transforms classic accounts into smart accounts. This allows for safer and more interactive wallets. Pectra also doubles the capacity to process blobs for Layer 2. Result: more data per block and reduced fees. This should attract both developers and users. But centralization lurks. Consolidating validators means reducing the number of unique actors. The network’s resilience will depend on the adoption of technologies like DVT. Without this, the dream of a truly decentralized Ethereum could slowly erode. Ethereum’s decentralization does not convince everyone. Charles Hoskinson, former No.1 of Cardano, already speaks of a “dictatorship” in the hands of Vitalik Buterin . The debate remains open, but criticisms are multiplying.

🚀 Web3 & Cryptocurrency: The Future of the Internet is Decentralized Web3 represents the next evolution of the internet, emphasizing decentralization, user ownership, and blockchain integration. In the realm of cryptocurrency, Web3 is reshaping how we interact online, offering new opportunities and challenges. Key Features of Web3 in Cryptocurrency: • Decentralization: Web3 shifts control from centralized entities to decentralized networks, allowing for peer-to-peer interactions without intermediaries.  • User Ownership: Individuals have control over their data and digital assets, enhancing privacy and security. • Smart Contracts: These self-executing contracts with the terms directly written into code enable trustless transactions and automation.

Nearly half of all USDT in existence is currently on the @trondao, wallets, smart contracts, and exchanges using Tron as the transport layer.
