Blockchain is changing everything. And one of the most concrete examples of that change is the developer ecosystem that has emerged around popular games. For those that have not been in the loop, decentralized games enable third-party developers to build on top of them — without any permission. This is a radical departure from how game companies typically operate, and it opens up a whole new world to game developers. Now builders can create new experiences on top of popular franchises. And wh...

mansplain: verb: (of a man) explain (something) to someone, typically a woman, in a manner regarded as condescending or patronizing.Chainsplaining starts innocuously enough. Maybe you’re at a cocktail party or a neighborhood gathering, and blockchain happens to bubble up in casual conversation. "Blockchain? That’s like Bitcoin right?" Or "Yeah, I’ve read a bit about Crypto but I still don’t get it…” Or “Didn’t everyone lose a bunch of money on ICOs?” You might be bursting at the seams to expl...

Our objective with the Beyond Chainsplaining series is to explore metaphors and stories you can use to help explain blockchain. In our last post, we built out our first 'metaphor of the moment': Blockchains as Brick Walls. In this post, we'll introduce a new and different ‘metaphor of the moment’ — how to hold virtually every possible private key in your hands. On a single sheet of paper. Anyone who has created an Ethereum wallet is familiar with carefully writing down a sequen...

Space Miners is a decentralized round-based game running on the Ethereum Mainnet. Players take turns sending miners to a planet for a chance to win that round’s earnings, which are then paid out in the Kerium Crystal (KMC) ERC-20 token. KMC can be sold back to the Space Miners contract at any time in exchange for Ether... but, every time a new round is completed, the relative price of KMC increases so that players are incented to HODL. When Blocknative was introduced to Nic Smith, the creator...

Is your Dapp displaying incorrect information to users? It probably is — through no fault of your own. Since the start of the year, we have conducted more than 30 Dapp Transaction Usability Audits. Every Audit involves 50+ unique quantitative metrics and qualitative evaluations. One surprising finding: we have yet to audit a Dapp that cleanly handles either Canceled or Sped Up transactions. Why? Before we dive into the problems Canceled transactions cause and why most Dapps don't address...

What if I told you that you could control a crypto account with hundreds of millions of dollars in value just by guessing a single number? Well, it turns out that you can. Because in the world of blockchain, private keys determine ownership. And, as we explored in our last post, you can hold every private key in the palm of your hand. So how hard can it be to guess… right? For the most part, the crypto-curious react with a combination of surprise and intrigue. Typically the first question is ...

Our recent Enough with the Chainsplaining post seemed to strike a nerve – in a positive way! – within the Ethereum community. Ecosystem thought-leaders and crypto-newbies alike have reached out to encourage us to continue on this theme. We clearly have good company in our quest to figure effective ways to discuss the foundational concepts that make blockchain technology so compelling. Given this feedback, today we're kicking off this Beyond Chainsplaining series. It will explore the voca...
