The Architecture of Trust: How Blockchain Powers InFoFi! In the evolving landscape of Web3, InfoFi—short for Information Finance—is emerging as a compelling paradigm, where information, attention, and influence are treated as economic assets. Underpinning this shift is the robust architecture of blockchain , which secures and animates InfoFi’s trust-based ecosystem. What Exactly Is InfoFi? At its core, InfoFi redefines how value is assigned in the information economy  by  tokenizing  attention, data, and credibility , transforming them into tradable and monetizable assets on-chain. Unlike the Web2 model, where aggregated data and user contributions fuel centralized platforms, InfoFi embeds fairness and transparency at its core, allowing creators, analysts, and everyday users to directly benefit from their informational input. The Role of Blockchain in Building Trust Immutable Ledger of Contributions Blockchain ensures that every piece of information—be it sentiment data, market insig...

Over $800,000 worth of “blue chip” NFTs are still being held in contracts of Parallel Finance, despite it pulling support for its NFT lending product after a six-month notice period. With no front end support for NFT lending, non-technical users are unable to withdraw their tokens manually, and the Parallel team is reportedly charging a $500 fee to return the assets. Yuga Labs’ 0xQuit highlighted the predicament on X, as well as posting a step-by-step guide on how to manually withdraw assets using the Etherscan block explorer.

A post to X, made by the official Solana handle over the weekend, has drawn criticism from the Ethereum community after comparing the blockchain to NASDAQ’s throughput of 2,000 transactions per second (TPS).  According to Etherscan data, Ethereum mainnet has processed a little under 1.7 million transactions in the last 24 hours, which works out at an average of 19 TPS. Solana’s post has been received by Ethereum “maxis” as a petty, apples-to-oranges comparison of Ethereum, a decentralized, permissionless global network, to NASDAQ’s closed-off, centralized stock exchange infrastructure.

Ethereum (ETH) is riding a wave of institutional demand and protocol upgrades, with nearly $1 billion in inflows to ETH investment products last week, according to CoinShares . However, technical warning signs and ecosystem concentration are tempering short-term enthusiasm. Accordingly, artificial intelligence (AI) predicts that ETH is likely to remain in the neutral-to-bullish phase in the coming months, with a potential for a $4,000 price. Will Ethereum hit $4,000? To see when Ethereum might hit $4,000, Finbold consulted OpenAI’s ChatGPT, which estimated that the number could be reached sometime in early September 2025 in the most bullish scenario.

What is a Testnet? The Blockchain Playground Explained! In the world of blockchain, innovation is constant. But before a new idea, feature, or application goes live on a mainnet, it must first be tested — rigorously and securely. That’s where Testnets come in.  What Exactly is a Testnet? A Testnet (short for test network) is a blockchain environment that replicates the real blockchain (mainnet) but uses valueless tokens and operates independently. It allows developers, users, and projects to experiment with blockchain functionalities without any risk to real funds. Think of it as a sandbox — a safe space where smart contracts can be deployed, bugs can be identified, and upgrades can be trialed before reaching a live environment. Why Testnets Matter Risk-Free Testing : Mistakes on the mainnet can cost millions. Testnets provide a cost-free environment to test contracts and transactions without real-world consequences. Accelerating Innovation : Developers can try new protocols, dApps,...

Chainlink (LINK) co-founder Sergey Nazarov says major financial institutions around the world are primed to start utilizing his project soon. Nazarov notes in a new YouTube video that the decentralized oracle network is arriving at a point where financial institutions have been reaching out for help with various projects. “At this point, I’ve been – between last year and this year so far – almost everywhere. Last year, we covered a lot of Asia, the Middle East, Australia, many of the top environments where cryptocurrencies and blockchains are getting adopted. This year, with the new stance on regulation in the US, we are very heavily covering all of the US institutions in addition to continuing to cover those in Asia and the Middle East. So I can’t mention exact names, because they want to wait to announce, they have all these processes with NDAs (non-disclosure agreements). It’s a very tightly controlled process, but I would say between la...
