  • ZachXBT: Suspected insiders made $3.8 million in profits on RTR

    On August 10th, Chain Detective ZachXBT posted on social media that 4 addresses made a profit of $3.8 million in the RTR sell-off, with the 9G1ELG and GHoW2 addresses belonging to the same person and receiving 500 SOL in new funds within minutes after the TGE.

Afterwards, Eric Trump, the current Executive Vice President of the Trump Organization and son of Donald Trump, warned on social media to "be careful of false tokens" and that the only official Trump project has yet to be announced and will be announced on Twitter first. After the statement was released, RTR quickly dropped by about 95%, with a trading volume of $164 million within just 15 hours of its creation.
  • The U.S. Internal Revenue Service has released a new draft of the crypto tax form, which no longer requires filling in wallet addresses and transaction IDs

    The US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) released an updated draft version of tax form 1099-DA for cryptocurrency brokers and investors to report certain transaction income. The public has 30 days to provide feedback to the IRS on this version. Starting in 2026, cryptocurrency investors who use brokers (currently mainly Coinbase and Kraken, among others) will receive 1099-DAs from these brokers to report certain cryptocurrency sales and trades as taxable events to the IRS. IRS officials say this form will "bring more convenience and clarity" to users who pay US cryptocurrency taxes.

  • Backup your life with the blockchain

    Growing up my family was always moving homes. I've never had somewhere I could really call my own. Like many other people whose families have rented home to home their entire lives, you soon realise how much of a hassle it is to have a lot of belongings. It's why I prefer to throw away a lot of my keepsakes or momentos and while it's nice to be able to look back at something that reminds you of a former time in your life. It soon starts getting impractical. There's no possible way you can hold on to every keepsake you accumulate in your life. You might have visions of sharing some of your favourite memories with your grandkids but most of the time those old drawings, trophies, shirts or whatever other item you find valuable soon get eaten away by the cruel nature of time.

    Big Tech killed the internet — blockchains can help revive it

    The early internet was a magical place because it was driven by people and their creativity. Builders knew that whatever they made, they owned — a simple promise that established the right incentives for the technology to flourish.

  • Game Theory and Consumer Crypto

    One question that I often get when discussing consumer app ideas leveraging crypto is “does this really have to be in web3”? This often leads to an exposition on how building a web2 counterpart would be substantially difficult or simply not work. The intention of this post is to provide a comprehensive analysis on game theory and its applications in web3. Game theory is a more generalized approach and covers governance, token models, decentralization et al. I believe this new framework can be leveraged to build powerful applications. The right incentives can propel the society in a good direction.
  • CoinGecko: NFT trading volume will drop by $14.5 billion month-on-month in 2023

    According to a report by CoinGecko, NFT transaction volume in 2023 will be less than half of that in 2022, dropping from $26.3 billion to $11.8 billion, a decrease of $14.5 billion. The dashboard of Dune Analytics shows that the transaction volume of OpenSea, the leader in the NFT market, exceeded $2 billion for 9 consecutive months between 2021 and 2022, but shrank to about $170 million in December 2023. Rohan Handa, the NFT director of Mysten Labs, said that the decline in the field was caused by poor macroeconomic conditions and notable collapses, which weakened the public and investors' confidence in the unstable crypto industry.
