Stablecoins – An Escape from Volatility
Blog iconALANA's ⚡NewsFlash⚡
Jun 16
You might be still a noob to crypto and the broader field of DeFi (Decentralized Finance) but alongside of Bitcoin and Ethereum you might have encountered the word 'stablecoin'. As you have heard from the media and news, crypto can bring wild swings in the prices of your assets. As someone dabbling in trading cryptocurrencies, one day you feel close to being a millionaire (Lambo ordered), the other day you go back to work (Lambo cancelled). This is called price volatility and is caused by the...

The ALANA Manifesto | Part 02
Blog iconALANA's ⚡NewsFlash⚡
May 19
Rather than defining ourselves by what we’re against, what if we focused on what truly brings us together? At ALANA, our journey has always been about celebrating the values that connect us as a community. That’s why we created our free membership NFT, which encapsulates ALANA’s “10 Principles of a Good Community.” The inspiration for these principles came during a thoughtful conversation with Dani, a fellow DAO member, where we reflected on how Dieter Rams’ “10 Principles of Good Design” dis...

Price Discovery: Order Book and AMMs
Blog iconALANA's ⚡NewsFlash⚡

In economics, there is a simple answer to this: The price is discovered by the interaction of buyers and sellers in a market, e.g. a process driven by supply and demand. This process is facilitated by various market mechanisms and participants. This also applies to digital marketplaces like cryptocurrency exchanges or NFT trading platforms, where the interplay of buyers and sellers determines the prices of cryptocurrencies or oth...

Trust in a Trustless World
Blog iconALANA's ⚡NewsFlash⚡
Apr 21
"Blockchain doesn’t ask us to trust—it empowers us to verify, together."This week, we explore how blockchain is redefining trust in an era of digital uncertainty. In a world where data breaches and centralized failures erode confidence, blockchain’s core attributes—decentralization, transparency, and immutability—are laying the foundation for a new kind of trust, one that doesn’t rely on intermediaries or single points of failure.Web 3 LearningVocabularyDecentralization Blockchain distributes...

Mar 31
"We build too many walls and not enough bridges."Although the exact origin of this quote is uncertain, it is often attributed to Sir Isaac Newton (1643-1727). Fast forward 300 years, entering the blockchain space, and the quote still seems to hit the mark. As of 2024, there are approximately over 1,000 distinct blockchain networks in existence, encompassing a wide range of applications and industries. So, let's talk about blockchain ecosystems and how they interact.Web 3 LearningVocabularyPer...

Bridges - From One Chain To Another
Blog iconALANA's ⚡NewsFlash⚡
Mar 17
According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, a bridge is defined as a structure carrying a pathway over a depression or obstacle. “Bridging the Gap” is a song by hip hop group Black Eyed Peas, released in 2004, about unity, connection, and bridging the gap between different generations, cultures, and musical styles. In Web3, bridges serve as connectors between different blockchain ecosystems, allowing for the transfer of assets, data, and information between them. Since most blockchains opera...

Web3 Wallets - Your Keys, Your House
Blog iconALANA's ⚡NewsFlash⚡
Feb 24
There are sufficient articles on Web3 wallets, but I felt a simplified explanation that was highly relatable was missing. In this unique approach, let's imagine the Internet as a vast city. Web2 is the older, centralized downtown area controlled by a few major corporations, while Web3 is like a new, decentralized suburb where residents have more control over their properties and interactions. It's literally the cool kid's corner. Let's see which metaphors are relevant for capturing a Web3 wal...
