The decentralized finance (DeFi) market is one of the fastest growing markets in the world. In less than two decades a whole new industry has been created with new opportunities for investors every day. Three great investment opportunities are Solana (SOL), Ethereum (ETH), and Collateral Network (COLT). Each project brings innovative new ideas to the market and could significantly influence the future of DeFi, with Collateral Network (COLT) set to completely revolutionize the lending industry alongside 35x gains. >>BUY COLT TOKENS NOW>BUY COLT TOKENS NOW<< Collateral Network (COLT) Applies DeFi To Crowdfunding Collateral Network (COLT) is a new decentralized crowdlending platform in the market that's caught the attention of investors world wide. Using Collateral Networks (COLT) cross-chain network, borrowers will be able to unlock cash from physical off-chain assets using NFTs. Here&rsquo;s how it works. If a borrower on Collateral Network (COLT) holds an expensive physical asset and wants a short term loan, they can create an NFT backed 1:1 by that asset. This NFT is then fractionalized, meaning that lenders can collectively fund the loan by offering fractions of the required capital. This increases the number of investors who can become lenders. Once loaned, lenders will generate a passive income from their loan based on a fixed interest rate, enabling users on the COLT platform to become their own banks. This process is significantly faster than traditional crowdlending processes, and allows borrowers to hold onto their physical assets. To give early investors peace of mind, Collateral Network (COLT)&rsquo;s smart contract has been successfully audited, and its liquidity pool will be locked for 33 years to prevent a rug pull. COLT, the native token of Collateral Network, can be purchased for $0.01 during phase one of the project's presale, with COLT holders earning access to a VIP members club, as well as staking, governance rights, and more. Analysts forecast that due to its immense potential and real-world use cases, COLT is highly likely to surge by up to 3500% over the coming months! With this projection in mind, Collateral Network (COLT) is easily one of the most promising presales on the market today.

The cryptocurrency industry has undoubtedly had a rocky few years. From high-profile scams to market crashes and regulatory hurdles, the industry has faced numerous setbacks that have shaken the confidence of even the most ardent crypto idealists. The "idealist" crypto projects and platforms can help unlock practical value. Adhering to core principles, such as decentralization, user control, and being verifiable, is essential to make a lasting industry impact. Those approaches introduce many new hurdles and challenges, but the following platforms continue innovating and pushing the industry forward - keeping crypto idealism alive. Theta Network (Decentralized Video Streaming) The decentralized video delivery network aims to disrupt the traditional video streaming industry. It uses blockchain technology to create a peer-to-peer network of users sharing video content, reducing the need for centralized servers and cutting costs. Theta Network also rewards users who contribute their computing resources to the network with Theta tokens, which can be used to access premium content and services on the platform. Theta Network has partnered with some of the biggest names in the video streaming industry, including Samsung, Google, and MGM Studios. As a result, it has a growing user base of millions of users worldwide. In addition, the platform's unique approach to video delivery has earned it praise from industry experts, and it has the potential to disrupt the traditional video streaming industry in a significant way. Nimiq (Crypto For Everyone) Nimiq is a decentralized cryptocurrency project that aims to make cryptocurrency accessible to everyone through a user-friendly and easy-to-use platform. A crucial boon of Nimiq is its focus on usability and accessibility, which makes it ideal for new users looking to enter the cryptocurrency world. That approach has given birth to various tools and infrastructure solutions to enable mass cryptocurrency adoption. A core benefit of Nimiq is its fast transaction times. Nimiq uses a unique consensus algorithm called Albatross, which allows for near-instant transactions. That is a significant advantage compared to other cryptocurrencies, which may take several minutes or even hours to confirm transactions. In essence, Nimiq is a decentralized payment solution with a native blockchain. Its team aims to usher in a global monetary system without intermediaries. In addition, its solution is non-discriminatory, secure, cheap, eco-friendly, and collaborative. It also removes concerns over market volatility, technical expertise requirements, and clunky interfaces. Cardano (Blockchain Infrastructure) Another platform that crypto idealists should keep their eye on is Cardano. Founded by Charles Hoskinson, one of the original co-founders of Ethereum, Cardano aims to create a more sustainable and scalable blockchain platform than its predecessors. Unlike other blockchain platforms that use proof-of-work algorithms to verify transactions, Cardano uses a more energy-efficient and scalable proof-of-stake consensus mechanism. Cardano also aims to provide greater security and transparency than other blockchain platforms by separating its transaction validation and computation processes into two separate layers. This approach allows for greater flexibility and efficiency and makes it easier to update the platform over time. Cardano's commitment to sustainability, scalability, and security has earned it a loyal following among crypto enthusiasts, and it has already established partnerships with several major companies and organizations. Lens Protocol (Decentralized Social Media) Lens Protocol is a decentralized platform built on the Polygon blockchain that allows users to create, trade, and manage synthetic assets. These synthetic assets are created by mirroring the value of other assets, such as commodities, stocks, and fiat currencies. It allows users to gain exposure to the underlying asset without owning it. The Lens Protocol platform is powered by smart contracts that ensure the accuracy and transparency of each transaction. Users can create synthetic assets or invest in existing ones called lenses. Each lens is backed by collateral, which is held in a smart contract, and the underlying asset's value determines its value. When a user invests in a lens, they receive a corresponding amount of synthetic tokens, which can be traded or redeemed for the underlying asset at any time. The Lens Protocol platform also includes a governance system that allows users to vote on proposals related to the platform's development and management. That gives users a say in how the platform operates and ensures it remains community-driven and decentralized. Overall, Lens Protocol provides a flexible and efficient way for users to gain exposure to a wide range of assets while leveraging the security and speed of the Polygon blockchain. To conclude, there is still a lot of activity in the cryptocurrency and blockchain space. While the overarching market momentum may remain volatile, builders put their best foot forward to unlock a brighter future. The projects outlined above showcase the building blocks users can experiment with today and in the future. Moreover, the varied approach by developers to explore different concepts - video streaming, social media, and making crypto more accessible - confirms the evolution of overall infrastructure. There is much more potential to unlock in the industry, as a decentralized web is inevitable at this point. Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.

Developers on Ethereum have announced that the Shapella upgrade will take place on the 12th of April, 2023. The upgrade will take effect at epoch 194,048, coming as a relief for validators on the platform. Withdrawals Incoming The Shappella hard fork will come as a huge relief to Proof-of-Stake validators, who will finally be able to withdraw their ETH from the platform. The fork, scheduled for the 23rd of April, will enable withdrawals through the Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) 4895. Once implemented, this will push staked Ether from the Beacon Chain to the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), also known as the execution layer. Ethereum core developer Tim Beiko announced the news on Twitter, stating, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s happening Shapella is scheduled on mainnet for epoch 194048, scheduled for 22:27:35 UTC on the 12th of April, 2023. Client releases compatible with the upgrade are listed in the announcement below.&rdquo; The time, slot, and epoch for the upgrade were confirmed after lengthy deliberations and discussions between members of the Ethereum Foundation, led by Beiko. The hard fork will finally enable the partial and complete withdrawal of ETH. However, several mechanisms have been put in place to ensure that a flood of unlocked ETH does not end up disturbing the market dynamics. Currently, there are around 17.81 million ETH staked on the beacon chain. At current prices, around $31.6 billion worth of ETH can be unlocked over time. Successful Deployment On Goerli And Sepolia Testnets The announcement comes after Ethereum developers successfully deployed the Shapella fork on the Goerli and Sepolia testnets. While the Ethereum Foundation had stated that the last test run on the Goerli testnet was smooth, there was a delay in activation time thanks to some validators not updating their client software on time. However, Beiko stated that this would not be an issue this time around. The upgrade combines changes to the Shanghai Ethereum Virtual Machine, also known as Shanghai, and the consensus layer, Capella. It has also changed to the engine API linking the two layers bundled in it. Apart from enabling withdrawals, the Shapella upgrade also implements several other Ethereum Improvement Proposals, such as EIP-3855, EIP-3651, EIP-3860, EIP-4895m, and EIP-6049. EIPs are standards that add or designate new features and processes for Ethereum. Before the Shapella upgrade, validators had to lock 32 ETH in a smart contract on the Beacon Chain to be able to earn rewards. Previous Hard Forks Ethereum has gone through a long list of hard forks, with the latest Shapella touted as one of the most significant to date since the Merge. The Merge saw Ethereum finally make the transition from the energy-hungry Proof-of-Work consensus mechanism to Proof-of-Stake. Before the Merge, we saw the London hard fork that saw the introduction of EIP-1559. EIP-1559 introduced a base fee for users instead of the price auction method. Validators still receive a block reward and tip. However, the base fee is burned and is intended to make ETH deflationary over time. Before EIP-1559, there was Berlin, which helped optimize gas costs for specific EVM actions, while the Beacon Chain Genesis saw the first block produced on the Proof-of-Stake chain on the 1st of December 2020. Lastly, Istanbul, implemented in 2019, helped improve resilience against denial-of-service attacks, along with making SNARKs and STARKs-based layer-2 solutions more performant. Additionally, the Ethereum Foundation also announced that it would be doubling rewards for any bugs found in the Shapella source code. However, while the Shapella hard fork marks a significant milestone in Ethereum&rsquo;s journey, the protocol still suffers from low transaction throughput. Data from Blockchair has shown that Ethereum&rsquo;s transaction speed currently stands at 10 transactions per second. Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.
