Five Frax Ecosystem Products You're Not Using Yet
For most DeFi users, Frax crypto is still associated with one algorithmic stablecoin project from 2022. That's no longer true. The frax app is a full stablecoin operating system with five product lines, integrations with BlackRock, Superstate, and WisdomTree, and a $269.95 million protocol TVL bootstrapped in one year.

Terra Classic Burns 90 Billion LUNC and the Math Still Doesn't Add Up
If you asked most holders what they thought was a fair sentiment, it may sound something like this: "Burn enough tokens to decrease supply over time, and eventually luna classic price will rebound." Many members of the community have tried to achieve this by burning almost 90 billion LUNC tokens. The price is still around $0.00004400. Here's why the mathematics of deflationary token burns fail to support the recovery thesis.

Four Ways MYX Finance Could Fit Your 2026 DeFi Strategy
Somewhere between Consensys's February fundraising announcement and this week's 27% drawdown, an increasing number of DeFi allocators have quietly started asking the same question: what is MYX and does it still belong in a 2026 portfolio? MYX Finance, a non-custodial derivatives exchange that has recently rebranded as a modular settlement layer for omnichain perpetual contracts, now trades for ~$0.25. That's 98.7% below its Sept. 2025 all-time high of $19.03.

Why Snek Coinmarketcap Rankings Don't Tell the Full Story
Had you checked snek coinmarketcap data last week, you would be staring at a token that today resides somewhere around #590 on CoinGecko. Trading near $0.00045, roughly 95% down from all-time highs, the instant verdict would be damning. That ranking, however, masks what's afoot under the hood: 42,000+ unique wallets, over 2 billion ADA in all-time trading volume, and a coveted partnership with Input Output, the Cardano Foundation development group.

What Is Alchemy Pay and Why Binance Shopify Arculus All Use It
Right now, somewhere in London, a Shopify merchant is completing a crypto payment at a local coffee shop. British pounds just showed up in their bank account. They didn't have to set up their own blockchain node. They didn't have to fret over gas fees. They most likely don't know what is Alchemy Pay, let alone that its infrastructure just quietly processed the transaction in the background. That's the point.

What Is Siacoin and Why Developers Choose It Over Filecoin
Why revisit a protocol that handles around 2PB of data when Filecoin stores 18EB? It's less about size of data and more about the plumbing. To understand what Siacoin brings to the table we need to look beyond market cap charts and dig into the mechanics of how a storage contract actually works.

Five Metrics That Actually Matter for Akash Network Valuation
Akash Network implemented a Burn-Mint Equilibrium upgrade on March 23, 2026, fundamentally changing how AKT should be valued. Most investors approach akash network price prediction using metrics designed for Layer 1 blockchains or DeFi protocols, when Akash is actually building decentralized infrastructure. AKT isn't competing for TVL or swap volume. It's selling cloud compute, and the valuation framework should reflect that reality.

Five Blockchains Tried Mobile Payments and Only Celo Is Still Building
Five projects chased mobile payments, and four are gone. Facebook's Libra arrived in 2019 boasting access to 2.7 billion preexisting users. By 2022 its rebranded offspring Diem sold its assets for ~$182M before shuttering operations entirely. Celo meanwhile just hit 840,000 DAUs and has seen over $65B of stablecoin volume since migrating to its L2. Celo coin price is $0.083, 99.26% below its all-time high. Market conditions haven't exactly rewarded survival thus far.
