Riot case study shows US Bitcoin miners can clear power costs long before they clear full profit Bitcoin mining costs are often reduced to a single number: the “cost to mine one $BTC.” In reality, that figure depends on what layer of the business you measure. Electricity determines whether machines should run today, operating expenses determine whether a mining fleet supports the broader company, and accounting costs determine whether the business ultimately reports profit. To examine those layers more clearly, CryptoSlate built a Bitcoin Mining Cost Model that calculates mining economics from first principles using network difficulty, block reward, transaction…

In a 48-hour period at the end of January, the two largest decentralized social protocols underwent major leadership changes. Farcaster shifted stewardship of its protocol, flagship client, and leading Base launchpad, Clanker, to its primary infrastructure provider, Neynar. Concurrently, Lens Protocol announced its transition from Avara (the team behind Aave) to Mask Network. The suddenness of these transitions was enough to rekindle a familiar debate: Do these restructurings by the sector’s most established projects signal a failure for crypto social? For many critics, the answer was an immediate yes. They argued that crypto social never moved beyond the crypto bubble,…

On Thursday, Congress took a small but significant step toward ensuring America remains the best place in the world to build. Bipartisan legislation – the Promoting Innovation in Blockchain Development Act of 2026 – would protect software developers from being swept up under criminal code Section 1960, a statute designed for money laundering, not innovation. For builders working in good faith on open-source software, that legal gray zone has cast a chill on American competitiveness. It is one bill. But the principle it embodies reaches further than any single piece of legislation – and it arrives at a pivotal moment.…

Ethereum is already showing early signs of recovery. Since a recent low near $1,840, Ethereum has climbed nearly 4%, signaling that buyers are beginning to step back in. This rebound is not happening randomly. The bounce setup has been quietly building for weeks. Several underlying signals now point to a shift. Selling pressure has collapsed sharply. Derivatives traders have turned aggressively bearish without adding new positions. At the same time, long-term holders have started buying again after weeks of selling. Together, these forces suggest the current Ethereum bounce could extend further. Ethereum Bounce Setup Emerges As Bullish Divergence Builds Ethereum’s…
