Yesterday there was another restart of the Solana network after a five-hour outage. This is a long-term problem of this project that the team is unable to solve. Solana occasionally needs a network restart, which requires the cooperation of all validators.
Airdrops are becoming more and more popular. It's free money. Airdrops are a terrible community-building mechanism because they fail to retain people. The community must emerge gradually and organically. Technology, principles, utilities, and the good feel
For the technology to become popular and replace the existing one, it has to be 10x better for the user. Cryptocurrencies have ambitions to replace traditional financial services. But this will never happen if transactions fail and users have to resubmit t
Most people who decide to self-custody their assets use light wallets. This also applies to those who use hardware wallets such as Trezor and Ledger. These wallets connect to a full node operated by a third party. Users choose not only light wallets but al
Decentralization is about eliminating weak points that could threaten the expected properties of the network. A single point of failure can even stop the entire system from working. No entity, whether in the form of a group of nodes or people, should have
If you install the Daedalus wallet on your computer, the Cardano node will be installed at the same time. What is the difference between Daedalus and light wallets like Yoroi, Lace, Eternl, Nami, and many others? We will explain the basic differences in th
