: : [Issue] Intent Shortcuts Enable "Composability" to Be a Reality
Written by Heechang
- Composability, while often discussed, is challenging to implement due to different protocols and standards across blockchains. Two solutions emerged: aggregators (like 1inch) and the Intent/Solver approach.
- Intent and Solver simplify blockchain interactions by allowing users to specify desired outcomes (intents) while specialized solvers handle the technical execution. Enso introduces "Shortcuts" which enable multiple actions with a single call.
- The platform has proven successful, having settled over $16B and processed 450k intents, supporting major projects like LI.FI and Boyco.
- Connor, the founder of Enso, has consistently stated that "Product Beats Paper" and focused on building a product that is now used by lots of teams. Now it's time for them to get recognition.

: : [Issue] Pump.fun: Humans, Tools, and Freedom
by Steve
- Pump.fun, which started as a Solana-based meme coin launchpad, is writing a new chapter in blockchain application history. It's remarkable that it took just 217 days to achieve $100M in protocol revenue, creating unprecedented profits without having a native token representing the app.
- However, people began to exploit Pump.fun and their actions are increasingly crossing ethical boundaries.
- As a result, some members of the blockchain industry have called for regulations. In response to this public sentiment, Pump.fun announced the discontinuation of its live streaming feature.
- While the events occurring on pump.fun are morally and ethically inappropriate, we need to consider whether stopping and regulating them is truly the right approach.
- Tools themselves are always purpose-neutral; only the actors using these tools have intentions.

: : Yala: Unlocking the Vast Potential of Bitcoin-Backed Stablecoins
Article by Jay
- Bitcoin is not as easily integrated into DeFi as Ethereum or Solana because Satoshi intentionally restricted the functionality of its scripting language to prevent security vulnerabilities.
- As a result, while there have been numerous attempts to introduce smart contracts on Bitcoin, the issuance of Bitcoin-backed stablecoins has been extremely limited.
- If a stablecoin backed by Bitcoin were to emerge, it could significantly enhance Bitcoin’s utility from a credit creation perspective, unlocking substantial liquidity and exerting a major impact on the Web3 financial market.
- To address this, Yala enables the cross-chain issuance of a BTC-backed stablecoin - YU - in a secure and intuitive manner to leverage the security of the Bitcoin network whilst providing holders with unique yield and integration opportunities.

: : [Issue] How Safenet is Planning to Control the Flow of Crypto Assets
by Heechang
- Safe has introduced SafeNet, a transaction processing network aimed at unifying the experience across blockchains.
- It is expanding from its established position as a leader in crypto asset ownership to the realm of asset usage.
- Safe's strong market position is evident in its impressive metrics, including $100B in Total Value Locked (TVL), 6.8% of all USDC stored, and 2.74% of onchain transactions originating from Safe Accounts.
- SafeNet's architecture, inspired by Visanet, consists of SafeNet Processors for execution guarantees and a SafeNet Liquidity Network for liquidity of crypto assets.
- While Safenet shows promise due to Safe's strong user base and potential for bridging off-chain and on-chain assets, its architecture is still under development.

: : [Issue] The Causes of Sui’s Outage and Future Outlook
by Steve
- On Thursday, November 21, 2024, the Sui Network experienced its first network outage. The cause was traced to an error in the congestion control system's 'TotalGasBudgetWithCap' mode, where transaction complexity calculations incorrectly set costs to 0, and an assert! statement in the code determined that execution costs should not be zero.
- As a result, the Sui Network experienced its first-ever network outage and was unable to produce blocks for approximately 2.5 hours.
- A network outage is never good news. Some may have lost trust due to this incident. Given that Sui has been the blockchain network showing the most meaningful progress this year, we hope they can turn this crisis into an opportunity and make an even greater leap forward.

: : The Reason Why Chromia Adopted a Different Database
by Eren, Steve
- Chromia presents a highly distinctive technical approach through its cluster architecture, database, and newly developed programming language.
- Chromia employs a cluster architecutre consisting of dApp clusters and system clusters, achieving horizontal scalability by independently operating sidechains within each cluster.
- Chromia's Postchain validates transactions and queries from clusters based on the eBFT consensus protocol, executes dApp chain code, and updates the state of each dApp chain.
- Chromia adopts a relational database instead of a key-value database and introduces Rell, a SQL-like programming language, providing an effective environment for processing complex queries while offering a familiar development experience for existing developers.
- Along with its mainnet launch, Chromia is introducing features such as native $CHR staking and 'Extensions', particularly focusing on developing as a data layer for AI infrastructure by maximizing the advantages of its relational database architecture.
