Prototype with sample content. News stories, companies, products and scores are invented, and nothing has been reviewed by an editor.Prototype: invented sample stories, not yet reviewed.
The invented bank says it will hold bitcoin and ether for institutional clients, starting with a limited pilot next year.
About every four years, the reward for adding new blocks falls by half. It changes the rate of new supply, and its effect on price is debated.
The invented exchange says it is cooperating with a request for details about how it chooses which tokens to list.
The invented payments company says merchants can accept stablecoins and receive ordinary currency in their bank accounts.
The team paused one pool after a suspected exploit. Other depositors are not known to be affected, and a post-mortem is promised.
The invented asset manager’s filing is an early step, and approval isn’t guaranteed.
A stablecoin aims to hold a steady value. How well it does depends on what stands behind it and whether people can redeem it.
The invented network says it needs more time after an outside review raised issues with its bridge contracts.
Fees are an auction for limited block space, so they follow bursts of demand rather than the size of your payment.
Your payment waits in a queue, a miner includes it in a block, and each later block makes reversing it harder.
The invented mining company says it will buy excess electricity from a regional dam, though it hasn’t published contract terms.
Validators lock up ether to help secure the network and earn rewards, and they can lose part of it for breaking the rules.
They process transactions off the main Ethereum chain, then post the results back, which can make using Ethereum cheaper.
Upgrades are coordinated rule changes across independent software teams, and most users don’t need to do anything.
Lenders deposit into a shared pool, and borrowers post more collateral than they borrow. Automatic liquidations protect the pool until they don’t.
Providing liquidity can leave you with less value than simply holding the same tokens, even before accounting for fees.
The team says users were repaid from its treasury after a $2.1M exploit. An outside audit is still pending.
Plain explanations of how it works, what it costs and what can go wrong.
A plain starting point: digital assets recorded on shared ledgers, what they can do, and what can go wrong.
Check who runs it, where it’s licensed, what it charges and how you’d get your money out. This isn’t a recommendation of any platform.
Your seed phrase can restore your whole wallet. A good backup survives fire, theft and your own memory, and stays away from the internet.
This invented dataset shows how our research format works: the question, the method, the numbers and their limits.
Wallets scored against a published method. These products and scores are invented.
Strong recovery, but a confusing approval screen
Simple and pocketable, but thin on recovery help
Powerful for experienced users, and not for beginners
Thefts, scams and flaws, with who is affected and what to do next.
Customers report callers posing as support staff and asking them to move funds to a so-called safe wallet. A real exchange will not ask that.
The company withdrew a malicious extension update. If you installed version 4.2.1, treat that wallet as unsafe.

Every piece shows who wrote it, who reviewed it, and when it last changed.
We link to the evidence and separate what is known, claimed and unknown.
