Real Cases: When DAOs Go from Paper to Practice
Uniswap (UNI) is the most obvious example of how a decentralized autonomous organization works in practice. Launched in September 2020, the largest decentralized exchange on the Ethereum blockchain put 1 billion governance tokens into circulation.

When we talk about Layer-1 blockchains, we are essentially discussing the backbone of the entire crypto ecosystem. These foundational layer networks handle billions of dollars in transactions and serve as the true base for DeFi, NFTs, and Web3 applications. As Ethereum shifts to proof-of-stake, eco-friendly blockchain projects emerge, and Layer-2 solutions are gradually improving, the landscape of Layer-1 is undergoing dramatic changes. So, which L1 projects are most worth paying attention to in 2025? We analyze them one by one.
What exactly is a Layer-1 blockchain? Why is it so important?
First, let's clarify the concept: Layer-1 blockchains (also known as the base layer) are where transactions are ultimately confirmed and recorded. Unlike Layer-2 solutions that depend on existing blockchains to enhance speed and capacity, Layer-1 is an entirely independent network with its own consensus mechanism and security model.
Imagine Layer-1 as

Since the birth of Bitcoin, blockchain has been continuously evolving. From the initial payment networks to today's DeFi, GameFi, NFT, Metaverse, and Web3 ecosystems, the scope of blockchain applications is expanding rapidly. However, one issue has always been in front of us—the scalability.
Bitcoin can only process 7 transactions per second, Ethereum mainnet handles just 15, while traditional payment systems (like Visa) can process 1700 transactions per second. This is the so-called "trilemma": how to achieve scalability while ensuring security and decentralization?
The answer is Layer-2 blockchains. These second-layer networks act like "fast lanes" above the main chain, enabling transactions to be processed at high speed with significantly lower fees. Today, let's take a look at the top 10 Layer-2 projects to watch in 2025.
What is Layer-2? Simply put, it's a "main chain accelerator."
Layer-2 blockchain is a set of

Why Layer-0 Matters: The Scalability Crisis
Blockchain technology faces a fundamental challenge: how to process millions of transactions without sacrificing decentralization or security. This is where Layer-0 blockchain solutions enter the picture. Unlike traditional blockchains such as Bitcoin an

IDEAYA Biosciences has achieved a major regulatory milestone with the U.S. FDA granting IND approval for its lead candidate IDE034, a first-in-class bispecific antibody-drug conjugate designed to address multiple solid tumor malignancies.

When it comes to diversifying an investment portfolio on an international scale, understanding where and how to trade becomes essential. Global stock exchanges function as the main centers of asset intermediation, connecting investors, companies, and funds in a worldwide network of

The KDJ indicator is an important tool in technical analysis, reflecting market trends and overbought/oversold conditions through the three curves of K, D, and J. Its calculation is based on immature stochastic values, with standard parameters of (9,3,3). The indicator can provide buy and sell signals, such as golden crosses and death crosses, and should be used in conjunction with other tools to improve accuracy. In practical trading, while the KDJ is effective, it also has lag and false signal risks, so traders need to respond flexibly. Successful trading is based on multi-dimensional understanding and risk management.

In 2025, the demand for safe assets gained new momentum. Gold continues to be the preferred refuge for investors seeking protection against inflation, currency volatility, and instability in emerging markets. With prices hitting record highs, the question remains: what is the best way to

Many Brazilians dream of relocating to Portugal, but few truly understand what it means to live with the local values. The biggest challenge is not just knowing how much you earn, but comparing that with actual expenses and mandatory deductions that are applied to the salary.

Are you thinking about moving to Portugal and want to know if you can live on the Portuguese minimum wage? The answer is more complex than it seems. Portugal's minimum wage reached €870 per month in 2025, but when you see how much actually ends up in your account after mandatory deductions, the story

If you still keep your money earning in a savings account, it's time to rethink that strategy. While savings accounts offer only 7.41% per year, the banks with the highest returns in the current market exceed 10% annual yield. The difference may seem small, but in larger investments, it becomes
