The crypto community embraced President Trump and was rewarded with anti-regulating policy. The trade war, fewer tariff reductions and other events, however, rattled the stock market. The silver lining for crypto enthusiasts is that various Defi developers roll out ambitious projects.
Time.fun
The platform -based platform, launched in February, is a market where fans can buy time that they can share with their favorite makers.
Makers have set profiles on time. Fun and are divided into different categories, including music, influencers, investors, marketing, onion/ux design, athletes and others.
Profiles present examples of their work and the desired price of their time, expressed in dollars per minute.
Customers can invest in makers or ‘buy their time’ so that makers can spend it communicating with customers via chats, including audio and video calls.
The content of the makers can be sold through auctions. Moreover, Time.Fun enables customers to make contact with Solana Team members.
Ethos
The purpose of the Ethos network is to offer tools with which users can measure the credibility and reputation of the web3 platforms.
Ethos went live in January. The platform enables various web3 entities to take advantage of their reputation. However, bad actors can be punished.
The information on the platform is crowdsourced. Users are expected to proactively share their accounts and post their experience using Web3 services. The reputation is measured through Ethos credibility scores. These scores are gradually added by thumbs up and down, so that one point is added or removed.
It is also possible to add an assessment that is not positive or negative, but neutral. Deposit and Staken ETH (vouching) will have a stronger impact on someone’s reputation. Sharing negative experiences can lead to reducing the benefits of a bad actor platform.
The Ethos tool can be integrated into other platforms, so that users see credibility scores that are displayed in the profiles of the X users and other platforms. So Ethos moves his reputation scores outside his native platform.
3DNS
3DNS is an Ethereum-based onchain domain registration platform, launched in 2023 and claims to be the first.
The platform supports more than 400 domains, including .com, .xyz, .box and others. The domains can be made and registered in the form of ERC-721 tokens. With 3DNS, users can use all important NFT marketplaces.
The domain addresses can be managed via a crypto wallet. More than that, the addresses can be used on decentralized and crypto-compatible apps.
Cortex protocol
Cortex protocol is one of the groundbreaking AI-driven Defi platforms. This allows users to change ETH for $ Hype or Cortex (CX) for Synaps (Syn).
With the protocol, users can also bridge the Cortex over Solana and EVM. The Cortex agent can answer questions, interpret code or earn via Defi.
This protocol can be useful for the developers of apps that contain AI. The CX -Token is used as governance to pay the transaction costs.
Wayfinder
Another new AI-driven project is Wayfinder. This platform facilitates cross-chain transactions, algorithmic trading activities, carrying out smart contracts, etc.
Wayfinder is an AI that is open to learn to work onchain. You need tokens to guarantee the authenticity of the information provided.
Other platform participants will validate this information in exchange for a reimbursement. Once the information is validated, everyone can see and use the new path. The author receives rewards every time their path is used.
The example above shows a quick code written by Jesse, a basic builder. Users can get 0.0038 ETH with the code.
In a sense, WayFinder represents a new phase of the evolution of the crypto wallet where crypto portfolios serve as decentralized, versatile financial platforms.
Bitcoin and Ethereum Evolution will continue
Bitcoin and Ethereum did not stand still. Ethereum is ready for a pectra -upgrade that is planned for May.
The upgrade will bring the platform closer to a long -awaited Schordter system launch. The latter will tackle one of the biggest disadvantages of Ethereum – the scalability of the parfoor.
Ethereum will use hybrid-proof finality to offer direct transactions that have been verified through two or three independent layers of rollups: optimism, zero knowledge and trusted implementation environments.
Ethereum will use more blobs to increase the transaction speed and at the same time minimize the reimbursements.
However, we will have to wait a few weeks for Pectra. Ethereum is already embracing improved privacy thanks to cooperation with 0xbo.io.
The last platform strives to find a balance between privacy and compliance, which is an essential and legitimate care, given the recent attacks on crypto, including a large Bybit -hack.
On March 31, 0xbo.io Privacy Pools, with which Ethereum users can retain privacy and avoid illegal activities.
During the current test phase, ETH holders can withdraw from 0.1 to 1 ETH Privé via PrivacyPools.
When users request a recording via privacypools, the system screens their wallets. If everything is in order, ETH will be withdrawn into privacy. If the funds are not approved, they will be sent back to the previous address.
As far as Bitcoin is concerned, different companies have recently contributed a lot to the Bitcoin network. Lombard and Babylon Labs, for example, introduced Bitcoin deployment through a baby token, causing the road for Bitcoin to concern the Defi sector.
Other innovations include bringing Bitcoin to yield mine via Xvers and build on Bob.
Although some can catch the bad vibes of the market, there is no shortage of new approaches and services that make crypto easier to send, receive and store, which leads to wider adoption. The projects mentioned in this article are just the tip of the iceberg.
