Pharos focuses on building a Layer 1 blockchain that bridges traditional fintech and Web3 technologies, providing solutions for real-time payments and real-world asset applications. The goal is to develop an ultra-fast, EVM-compatible internet-level blockchain that enhances payment and application security. Currently, the Pharos network is in its internal development stage, with plans to launch a testnet in Q1 2025 and a mainnet in H2 2025.

This article reviews the market trends and strategies over the past year, highlighting two core indicators that were the main focus during this cycle, and shares insights on VC coins and Memes.

This two-part report explores ERC-7281: a new proposal to make cross-chain tokens fungible. Part 1 introduces the problem (non-fungibility of bridged tokens) and analyzes current solutions.

Between December 28, 2024, and January 3, 2025, the blockchain and cryptocurrency sector experienced numerous significant events demonstrating market vitality and industry trends. Key developments from projects like Sophon and Hyperliquid—including platform launches, service expansions, feature introductions, mainnet activations, and mining activities—showcased innovation while driving technological and community growth, giving the industry fresh momentum. On the regulatory front, the European Union's dedicated cryptocurrency regulation, the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA), came into effect on December 30. This marks a significant step forward in the EU's approach to cryptocurrency regulation.

This year was marked by two major uplifts: the launch of spot-based Bitcoin ETPs in the United States, and the election of Donald Trump for a second, non-consecutive presidential term. Between those events, the market ranged in volatile, indecisive sideways chop for 237 days. While these events served as both catalyst and backdrop for the market in 2024, 2025 will see an expansion of market breadth and narratives. Without further ado, below are some of Galaxy Research’s predictions for 2025.

This article explores the core pricing mechanisms of prediction markets, including Continuous Double Auction (CDA) and Logarithmic Market Scoring Rule (LMSR), analyzing how they dynamically adjust to reflect event probabilities. By delving into liquidity and pricing logic, it reveals the unique advantages of prediction markets in probability forecasting. The article also introduces Paradigm’s latest pm-AMM model.

The Berachain Vault is designed to simplify the process from Berachain's pre-deposit events to liquidity mining under the POL (Protocol-Owned Liquidity) mechanism. It aims to help everyday users easily participate in the Berachain ecosystem and seize early-stage opportunities through an all-in-one concierge service. This article will explore the emerging ecosystem demands represented by Berachain, while analyzing the core design of the StakeStone Berachain Vault and its potential to lower entry barriers and optimize yield management.

Last October, Virtuals introduced AI agent tokenization—a concept that initially garnered little attention but has since produced agents with 50-100x returns. For an AI agent to succeed, it must combine uniqueness and utility with products that provide tangible value. Today's market centers on five key areas: trading signals and insights, investment DAOs, on-chain trading, developer tools, and TEE privacy protection. Looking ahead to 2025, new sectors are emerging, including DeFi, NSFW, robotics, and beyond. While the earliest opportunities may have passed, significant potential remains in the market. Success lies in staying flexible and finding value across various ecosystems.

Today's article covers the emerging yet often misunderstood sector of decentralised compute in crypto. We dive into the AI infrastructure landscape to understand where decentralised alternatives can realistically compete.

AI Agents are intelligent entities capable of autonomous decision-making and task execution, leveraging technologies like machine learning and deep learning. In the Web3 space, the integration of AI Agents with blockchain technology has unlocked numerous innovative applications. They can act as investment advisors in DeFi, provide personalized experiences in gaming, and enable intelligent content recommendations in SocialFi. Established projects like GriffAIn in the Solana ecosystem and AIXBT on the Base chain showcase the vast potential of AI Agents in the Web3 domain.

DAS Organizations (Decentralized Autonomous Swarms) are self-governing systems that combine blockchain and AI, composed of AI agents capable of autonomously identifying problems, organizing solutions, and self-dissolving. They operate based on the Eliza framework and Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), offering efficient resource management, security, and transparency. Blockchain provides trustless governance support. DAS Organizations can be widely applied in scenarios such as urban planning and healthcare resource optimization, while their evolutionary mechanisms enhance intelligence and adaptability. They redefine the approach to problem-solving and have the potential to become the core of future digital governance, driving innovative solutions to the challenges humanity faces.

Since DeFi's emergence, the quality and security of on-chain data have been paramount concerns for developers, particularly regarding oracles—the critical bridges between on-chain and off-chain data that are often targeted by attackers. This article explores oracle use cases, common attack patterns, and prevention strategies for oracle manipulation. It provides practical guidance for developers on secure oracle integration while explaining their vital role in the blockchain ecosystem. Through analysis of recent incidents like UwU Lend and Banana Gun, we highlight how data reliability fundamentally shapes DeFi ecosystem stability.
