tl;dr: When you can tokenize anything, you can split assets into components. This gives you flexibility. It’s been nearly a year since the “Summer of DeFi” and we’ve seen hundreds, if not thousands, of experiments creating new financial applications...

tl;dr: It’s not about stopping yourself. It’s about catching yourself. Like anybody, I am a collection of automatically running programs. We just call them “habits.” Some of them are good and some are detrimental to my health. For example, I tend to...

tl;dr: It turns out that “touchy feely” is actually scientific. If you had told me 10, or even 2 years ago, that “your positive thoughts today can help you create your personal future of tomorrow,” I would have dismissed you as a whacko, with no basi...

tl;dr: a nice use case for zero-knowledge proofs, which will keep us all safer. One of the biggest vulnerabilities Americans face is our credit report held at places like Equifax and TransUnion. By amassing huge amounts of our personal data, they hav...
