Polygon Labs, the main developer firm behind the layer-2 blockchain Polygon, released on Tuesday the latest version of its zero-knowledge proving system, “Plonky3” – designed to be more flexible than the previous model.

In response to a recent tweet, Schiff stated that Bitcoin’s recent price movements might be indicative of an impending crash. All sarcasm aside, it’s hard to tell if this time the bubble finally has popped. The one thing that’s for sure is that it is, in fact, a bubble.…
