Public blockchains make financial activity easy to verify, but also easy to trace.

@zano_project is built around a private-by-default financial infrastructure with verifiable accounting:
🔹 Privacy enforced at protocol level
🔸 Confidential financial infrastructure

A technical deep dive into Zano 🧵 Zano is not only a privacy payment chain.

🔹 Users can transact privately
🔸 Developers can issue confidential tokens
🔹 Stakers can secure the network privately
🔸 Apps can build around private trading, aliases, escrow, and messaging

The broader thesis is private financial infrastructure.

Every L1 wants to be modular now. But NEAR? It’s been modular since day 1, anon.

🔹 The L1 with sharding at scale
🔸 Chain Abstraction = 1 account, any chain
🔹 Built to make crypto invisible to normies
🔸 NEAR X AI?!

Lets look at why @NEARProtocol is ahead 🧵 @ilblackdragon @NEARWEEK @Nearity_org @marcuslayerx @0_bishi_7 @YevhenSkydan @iamsamitpatel @r3ktdegen @ZastrowBradley 2018: An AI startup needed to send microtransactions worldwide.

ETH & BTC fees made it impossible.

So they built @NEARProtocol:

🔹 Cheap, scalable transactions
🔸 Sharding from day 1
🔹 Built for a billion users

Now that’s a blockbuster origin story, anon!

Web3 Marketing is a Facade (specifically on X)

🔹Web3 marketing is deteriorating rapidly, and unfortunately, the community is paying the price.
🔸This issue has worsened with @elonmusk's decision to privatize likes.

Why is this a bad idea, and how does it go against Web3 fundamentals? Let's discuss. Let's start with what makes an 'influencer' or KOL desirable for brands.

🔹 Companies engage in marketing to expand their reach, aiming to boost cash flow or growth.
🔸 KOLs have a vast audience, so partnering with them can help achieve these goals effectively.

Progress Update: @MultiversX

🔹The $EGLD ecosystem is ramping itself up for Sovereign Chains, an extension to the @MultiversX main chain, seamlessly interconnected and decentralised.
🔸This thread aims to provide context and insights into Sovereign Chains on @MultiversX What are Sovereign Chains on @MultiversX?

🔹Sovereign Chains offer tailored blockchain solutions, enabling specific functionalities without building from scratch.
🔸Each chain can be designed for particular applications or economic models, enhancing flexibility.

Progress Update: @dfinity (CkBTC)

🔹The $ICP team is developing CkBTC, a Bitcoin Layer 2 sidechain leveraging Chain Key Cryptography for secure, decentralized transactions between Bitcoin and ICP.
🔸This thread aims to provide more context on CkBTC and its inner workings! What is ckBTC?

🔹ckBTC is Bitcoin's multi-chain twin on the Internet Computer, facilitating direct, secure Bitcoin transactions.
🔸Transactions happen directly between the Bitcoin and Internet Computer networks without needing bridges or custodians.

Progress Update: @NervosNetwork (@ckbcell)

🔹In the past few months, the $CKB Ecosystem has introduced BTCKB, a Bitcoin Layer 2 which is based on the RGB++ architecture.
🔸But what does RGB++ mean, how does it work, and what sort of benefits does it have?

Let's dive in! What Sparks the Evolution of Bitcoin's Layer 2 Solutions?

🔹RGB++ introduces smart contract capabilities to Bitcoin, addressing the need for more complex applications on the network.
🔸It aims to overcome Bitcoin’s scripting limitations, offering expanded functionalities for asset management.

What is Adaptive State Sharding by @MultiversX?

🔹Sharding helps scale network operations by allowing for the partitioning of states and transactions.
🔸Sharding can increase network throughput as the number of validators grows. This is known as horizontal scaling.

$EGLD How does Adaptive State Sharding work?

🔹Regular reshuffling of nodes between shards at the end of each epoch to prevent collusion. Only a subset of nodes is redistributed to avoid system downtime
🔸The reshuffling process is unpredictable and uniform across shards.

🔹@Syscoin has a unique ecosystem design, using Bitcoin's Proof of Work as a consensus method while being fully Ethereum Virtual Machine compliant.
🔸The EVM compliancy makes $SYS interoperable and enables Complete Turing Smart contracts.

[THREAD] Compliance guidelines.

Joe Biden has proposed that any business that receives >10$K or more in cryptocurrencies has to disclose that to the IRS.

theblockcrypto.com/linked/105543/…

1/n - Firstly, this proposal is nothing new. The standard of disclosing >10$K Cash is a guideline of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) to prevent money laundering (ML) and terrorism financing (TF).

- Secondly, it is only for BUSINESSES that receive >10$K in cryptocurrency.
