Merkle Tree (Hash Tree) and How it is Related to Cryptocurrencies

The world of cryptocurrencies has been built thanks to countless technologies, ideologies or industries. Combination of cryptography, computer science, monetary policy or even psychology and philosophy could be all found in some context or another in the very core of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. When it comes to technologies, ideologies or techniques used in the cryptocurrencies and in their inherent blockchain technology, the Merkle Tree is playing one of the leading parts since the inception of crypto. What it is, how is it connected to cryptocurrencies and why is it used? Those are some of the questions that the following paragraphs will answer. What is a Merkle Tree? Merkle Tree is a type of structure that is often used to quickly verify data integrity, mostly in a dataset. It is also known as a hash tree, which has, in most cases, binary implementations, with each node usually having two “child nodes.” In the cryptocurrency world, this structure is used to encrypt blockchai

What is zkEVM – EVM, types of zkEVMs, Polygon zkEVM, zkSync and Scroll

Our exploration of possible scalability solutions through layer-2 technologies on Ethereum continues. With the introduction of technologies such as StarkWare or zkSync, there is one major component of this sub sector that has not been properly explored. That is zkEVM, which stands for zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine. While we have already explored what zero-knowledge and zk-rollups are, we have not looked at the examples of these technologies that are EVM-compatible or EVM-equivalent. And that is the main topic of today’s article. What is EVM? As always, before we dive deep into more difficult and complicated topics, we will be starting with simple concepts, upon which we will be then building. That is one of the reasons why we need to introduce EVM, before we look at zk-EVM. EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) is a mechanism which allows the Ethereum blockchain to execute the transactions on its network. It consists of predetermined rules and sets of rules which state which transac

What is ZKSync – Zk-Rollups, Ecosystem, Team, and Tokenomics

With increasing popularity of cryptocurrencies, whether that is thanks to DeFi, NFTs, Web3 or Metaverse, many major blockchains upon which these subsectors are built can get congested. High fees, slow transactions or technical hiccups are just a few of the problems that can arise when the demand for usability of some blockchain sharply rises. This is something that was seen for instance with Ethereum in the last few years. Incredibly high gas prices have often discouraged people from using this blockchain or dApps built on it. However, this also gave a reason for new projects or solutions to be created. And most of them have tried to develop on a second layer, such as zkSync. What is layer-2? Before we dive into zkSync, first the introduction of layer-2 solutions and what they are is necessary to provide better context. The term layer-2 describes solutions, platforms or services that are built on top of the first layer. The first layer or layer-1 is usually the blockchain itself such a

Bull vs. Bear Markets and Trading Strategies

The ‘Bull’ and The ‘Bear’ – the two most popular avatars for financial markets – are used to represent the general market sentiment or price movement ie rising or falling. In a ‘bull’ crypto market, the price of the cryptocurrency is rising, and investors and traders are feeling confident to buy the coin with the hopes of selling it at a higher price in the future.  In a ‘bear’ crypto market, the price of the crypto asset is falling and the general bias for investors and traders is to sell the coin to minimize loss. In a sustained bear market, many traders panic and close their positions.
