The crypto space, usually praised for its transparency, is undergoing a crucial reckoning. Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, is here to make a difference. He writes about privacy—not as a luxury but as a fundamental freedom that’s getting obliterated in our digital age. BlockOpulent.com is going block by block to...
The crypto world is an exciting, but chaotic and, to be frank, ridiculous space. With each passing day, a new project comes to light. It’s going to disrupt the entire world of finance, it will decentralize everything, and it will make you fabulously rich! The newest player on this particularly...
Ethereum’s price continues to tread water in a complex environment as its total Ethereum staked sees a significant drop. In just five days, the total value staked has tanked by over 120,000 ETH.

The reality is, that’s simply a bullshit lie. I know, it’s a rigged game, folks, and the house always wins. In this particular instance, the...
Five million dollars. Gone. Poof. Taken from ZKsync, currently one of Ethereum’s supposedly greatest beacons of hope in the Layer-2 scaling arms – sorry, race. They say user funds are safe. They say the protocol is secure. But does it feel that way? Does it sound that way? This isn't...
Five million dollars gone. Poof. ZKsync, another darling of the Ethereum scaling world, just got hacked. And while they’re at it reassuring everyone that “everything is OK,” let’s face it – that’s not true, it’s not that simple. It’s a bright, blinking neon sign blaring that the airdrop model is...
