By increasing the noise control process, DBFV facilitates the usage of deeper circuits before expensive bootstrapping is necessary. Fhenix wants to implement DBFV as a core feature of its infrastructure later this year, weaponizing pure cryptography to solve a barrier that many felt could never be overcome. Fhenix, a pioneering developer of encrypted smart contracts using fully homomorphic encryption ($FHE), has set a new milestone for blockchain privacy with the creation of its cutting-edge Decomposed BFV technology. It’s a remarkable new cryptographic technique that’s set to alter the performance and scalability of precise $FHE schemes and allow robust, high-throughput privacy-preserving…

Project Eleven, a startup founded by a former U.S. Special Forces officer to help blockchains prepare for a post-quantum world, said it raised a $20 million Series A funding round led by Castle Island Ventures with participation from Coinbase Ventures. Advancements in quantum computing in the coming decade could break existing public-key cryptography used by Bitcoin and other digital asset blockchains, prompting the need for a staged transition to more robust, quantum-resistant environment. Other post-quantum crypto protection projects have also recently been in the news, including a Bitcoin testnet to run quantum-resistant cryptography. Project Eleven said it is building the…

Strategy (MSTR) the largest corporate holder of bitcoin, with its treasury strategy centered on accumulating BTC as a core reserve asset, has seen its Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock, STRC, dip below its $100 stated value in pre-market trading following its latest monthly dividend payment, a move that largely reflects routine ex dividend mechanics. Ex dividend is the date on which a stock begins trading without the right to receive the upcoming dividend, meaning buyers on or after that date will not get the next payout. STRC currently offers an 11% annualized yield on a $100 stated…

Crypto exchange Binance has transferred roughly $100 million worth of bitcoin from one of its hot wallets into its Secure Asset Fund for Users (SAFU), marking an early on-chain step in the exchange’s plan to reframe its user protection reserve around bitcoin.

The transfer was direct and showed no signs of interaction with external wallets, suggesting an internal treasury reclassification rather than a market-facing trade. Last week, Binance said it would convert $1 billion worth of…

Nowadays, mining has become a much more serious and complex endeavor, so it makes perfect sense to question whether it is still a profitable activity. To answer this question, however, the response needs to be divided into three parts, each addressing a different scenario. The Bitcoin Mining Reward The Three Methodologies First Methodology The Second Methodology The Third Methodology The Bitcoin Mining Reward Initially, in 2009, Bitcoin mining was conducted in a single way, using a single software. At the time, mining $BTC was…

AEON is forming a strategic collaboration with AB DAO to better link digital assets to real-world utility, a long-term goal of the blockchain sector.
