a16z crypto has released a trend list for the cryptocurrency industry in 2024, which includes: entering a new era of decentralization; resetting the future of UX user experience; the rise of modular technology stacks; the combination of artificial intelligence and blockchain; P2E (Play to earn) becoming P+E (play and earn); when artificial intelligence becomes a game maker, cryptocurrency provides guarantees; formal verification becomes more accessible; NFT becomes ubiquitous brand assets; SNARK (succinct non-interactive argument of knowledge) becomes mainstream.

LayerZero has announced the launch of modular blockchain Caldera, bringing full-chain interoperability to Caldera rollups. LayerZero will now support full-chain message transmission between different Caldera rollups, allowing use cases to aggregate and compound throughout the entire ecosystem.

Movement Labs announced plans to launch M2, which is the first Move virtual machine L2 that is applicable to Ethereum and is extended with Celestia as a modular DA. Starting from M2, Movement is building a blockchain ecosystem based on modular Move, where M2 becomes possible through Celestia's Blobstream and modular stack. With modularity at its core, Movement will release public products and tools to promote the adoption of Move programming language in a wider blockchain ecosystem.

Fuel, a modular execution layer, has announced the launch of its Q1 funding plan, which includes up to 10 projects. Each project will receive a maximum reward of $50,000 to build new web3 use cases on Ethereum supported by FuelVM. The application period is from November 27th to December 10th.

According to an official announcement, Celestia has announced its integration with Arbitrum Orbit as the first modular data availability network. This integration provides developers with the option to publish data to Abritrum One, Abritrum Nova, and Celestia. Arbitrum Orbit allows developers to create their own dedicated Orbit chain, which is compatible with one of Arbitrum's layer 2 (L2) chains: Arbitrum One, Arbitrum Nova, Arbitrum Goerli, or Arbitrum Sepolia, thus creating the most advanced scalable blockchain solution on the market.
