What is a token generation event (TGE): how crypto tokens are distributed

A token generation event (TGE) refers to a crypto project creating and releasing a digital token to eligible users. TGEs usually involve the release of a utility token for the crypto project or service in question rather than coins, which often represent a store of value. TGEs can therefore be a significant moment in a project's roadmap and catalyst for growth.

About inscriptions and how they're shaping Web3's growth

What are inscriptions? Inscriptions are a powerful new method of storing images, videos, audio, text, and code directly on a blockchain. Similar to NFTs, you can view inscriptions as digital artifacts. For example, if we were to examine ordinals, the metadata is encoded on a satoshi, the smallest unit of . Ordinals are a means of tracking individual satoshis, which you can attach data to the blockchain by inscribing them directly on chain.

What is Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS): a more democratized approach to Proof of Stake

One of the primary aspects of any blockchain is its consensus algorithm or consensus mechanism. This is simply a name for the system used to achieve agreement among participants regarding the network's state. As you know, in decentralized networks, there’s no central authority. As a result, any decision needs to be made by the community through a voting process. The cryptocurrency industry initially had the Proof of Work (PoW) algorithm, which launched with Bitcoin. Later, it developed a different approach called Proof of Stake (PoS). However, PoS also got modified in time.

When Vitalik Buterin built Ethereum , he wanted to push the boundaries of blockchain technology. Bitcoin inspired him, but he felt the tech should do more than just process transactions. As a result, he built the Ethereum blockchain network. Ethereum has all the features of Bitcoin. It can process peer-to-peer transactions and store them in an immutable and decentralized way. It can also do certain things that Bitcoin can’t. For example, it can run smart contracts.
