    Concero V2 Unbundled Interop

    Interoperability has been trapped in a weird cycle.

    Celestia Matcha Upgrade: Scaling Executed

    Celestia just went live with Matcha mainnet today, and honestly, the scaling picture for modular DA just got materially different. 128MB blocks instead of 8MB - that's a 16x bump in throughput capacity. But inflation went from 5% to 2.5%, and that actually matters more. DA networks live and die on fee economics. You need tighter supply while blockspace stays abundant - that's the combo most projects miss. Celestia's executing both at once.

    You're Probably Overpaying

    We tested five major Bitcoin bridges and found that the cost of moving BTC to DeFi and back varies more than sevenfold depending on which provider you choose. The main issue isn't the advertised fees but hidden price slippage that most users don't notice until it hits their wallet. For regular DeFi users, picking the right bridge saves thousands of dollars annually.
