Interoperable addresses, which are chain-specific formats that have the potential to drastically simplify cross-chain communication, are a significant UX advancement for Ethereum. Human-readable naming and machine-efficient binary messaging are two different layers of cross-chain communication that are the focus of the original ERC-7828, which has since divided into two standards, ERC-7828 and ERC-7930, led by the L2 interop working group and DeFi Wonderland. Simply put, this implies that Ethereum users will soon be able to enter something like alice@my_favorite_L2.eth and allow their wallets or dApps to take care of everything automatically, including bridging and destination resolution. By addressing incompatibility and…

Attorney John Deaton views Ripple’s $1.25 billion acquisition of Hidden Road as a key example of decentralized finance merging with traditional finance.

On this day in 2014, Jeremy Rubin and Dan Elitzer announced a bombastic plan to give every undergraduate student at their university $100 in bitcoin. The price of bitcoin has since multiplied by more than 220x. Take that, Marks! On…
