Much like HTTP revolutionized web communications, MCP provides a universal framework that underpins virtually every major AI platform’s ability to integrate smart agents with diverse information sources and operational endpoints. A Short Intro to MCP MCP was initially designed to streamline interactions between prototype agents and document stores. Early success…
Can Ethereum finally break free from its three-year prison and set a new all-time high by the end of 2025? That’s the $72,000 question on Myriad—a prediction markets platform built by Decrypt’s parent company Dastan—where traders are putting real money on the line with increasingly bullish odds. The market has generated over $72K in volume to date and has seen some wild swings over the last week. Just days ago, bears had taken control and set the odds at 53% that Ethereum would not hit an all-time high this year. At the moment, though, Myriad users give ETH a 63.6%…

The Bitcoin network is expanding on an industrial scale, with power-hungry mining rigs driving energy consumption to unprecedented highs even as the flow of transactions slows to a trickle. Yet, the network seems to be under tension as rising hashrate and infrastructure collide with weak fee revenue and rare mempool clearings that leave miners earning little beyond the block subsidy. Summary Bitcoin’s mining network is growing into an energy-intensive giant, drawing more than 33 gigawatts to keep new blocks flowing even as on-chain transactions slow to their weakest levels in nearly two years. The GoMining Institutional report portrays an ecosystem…
