Why isn’t broader crypto mass adoption happening? At some point, everyone working in the crypto space has asked themselves why mass adoption hasn’t happened. Some common assumptions for why this is the case are that the technology is not mature enough, that it isn’t scalable enough, and that the dev tools are so much worse […]

In the past few months, we’ve received a number of questions about our relationship with Ethereum. I’d like to clarify something: Moonbeam is designed to complement and extend existing Ethereum-based deployments, not to compete with Ethereum. In a multi-chain future, Ethereum will continue to occupy a central position, particularly around DeFi and related use cases. […]

As part of today’s 2.0.7 upgrade, Algorand released an important update to its Algod API — one that significantly alters the endpoints and will require some changes in order for you to use them. It also introduces a lot of great new functionality that wasn’t available in the previous version. NOTE: PureStake has already released […]

I heard Malcolm Gladwell tell a story about spaghetti sauce in a TED talk back in 2004 and it’s one of those stories that has stuck with me and that I still think about from time to time. The story has become somewhat well known to marketeers who are drawn to its conclusions about horizontal […]

Since announcing the project at the end of April at Sub0 (talk can be found here), we have been coding. We made the Moonbeam repo public and you can visit it here. We now have foundational elements in place including a Dockerized GitLab-based CI for automated builds that will help us ensure quality in the […]
