This article introduces Berachain, a novel Layer 1 blockchain distinguished by its unique Protocol Owned Liquidity (POL) mechanism. Unlike the previous concept of Protocol Owned Liquidity (PoL), Berachain's POL represents an innovative Proof of Liquidity mechanism. The POL consensus of Berachain incorporates an incentive system within the Proof of Stake (POS) framework, strategically aligning the interests of all network participants, including validators, applications, and users. Through this approach, Berachain has built a network where liquidity and security scale proportionally with network growth.

This article delves into the privacy protection issues in blockchain technology, emphasizing the importance of privacy as a fundamental human right for freedom and democracy.

This article explores how interoperability technology serves as a foundational element for achieving seamless chain-agnostic experiences and how chain abstraction leverages interoperability solutions to enhance multi-chain interactions. Bungee, originally a bridge aggregator selecting the cheapest, fastest, and most liquid bridges based on user preferences, recognized the critical role of chain abstraction in addressing fragmentation and advancing the Web3 user experience. This led to the development of Socket 2.0, a modular and scalable coordination protocol for chain abstraction, allowing developers to build chain-agnostic applications. While interoperability and chain abstraction are distinct concepts, they are closely intertwined. As chain abstraction solidifies as the next evolutionary step in Web3, interoperability solutions will find new and creative ways to contribute, creating a positive flywheel effect.

This article aims to provide to the reader a higher level overview of what FHE can be used for and the different scenarios or setups that leverage FHE. In a future blogpost, we will dive into more details about the types of FHE (which influence the kind of computations we can perform) and finally which kind of compilers we can find to translate our programs into operations that can be computed using FHE.

Modular blockchain aims to solve the impossible triangle problem in the blockchain field through reorganization, that is, decomposing the main functions of a single chain into multiple layers, each layer focusing on achieving specific functions to achieve scalability. Modular DeFi protocols improve the flexibility and innovation capabilities of DeFi protocols by splitting these services into independent modules, allowing users and developers to flexibly combine and use different functions. At this stage, DeFi mainly consists of income aggregators, lending, derivatives and options, and insurance protocols. These modules can be freely combined to create new financial products and services, but modular DeFi protocols need to be built on their own protocols. Modules are combined to create new financial products and services.

Particle Network is a modular L1 built on the Cosmos SDK, designed to serve as a coordination and settlement layer for cross-chain transactions within a high-performance EVM-compatible execution environment. Its ultimate goal is to unify all on-chain users at the account level, facilitating seamless cross-chain interactions through a single balance and account across L1, L2, or L3, and allowing anyone to easily pay gas fees with any token of their choice.
