Valora, a peer-to-peer payments company, has introduced 'Mobile Stack,' a decentralized launchpad for Web3 DApps on mobile devices. The company aims to address the lack of mobile-friendly Web3 apps by providing developers with an easy-to-use platform. While apps like Robinhood Crypto and Coinbase have seen success with mobile users, the DeFi and Web3 communities primarily focus on desktop/laptop usage. Valora's Mobile Stack offers a solution by simplifying the development process for mobile-first DApps. The platform allows developers to customize their DApps using the necessary protocols. Initial apps on Mobile Stack include 'Troopo' and 'ChatGPT Data DAO,' catering to savings, earnings, and data monetization. Valora envisions various use cases for its platform, such as peer-to-peer payments, DeFi onboarding, and universal basic income initiatives. Founded in 2020, Valora operates on the Celo network and recently secured $20 million in funding to expand its services.

Uniswap v4 Upgrade: Developer Customization and Price Impact

Saturday. February 1 at 11:00 AM

Uniswap recently launched its v4 upgrade on mainnet, introducing hooks for developer customization and cheaper operations. Despite a delayed release, the upgrade did not generate the expected price momentum for UNI token. Following the launch, UNI's price briefly surged but quickly retraced, amidst prevailing bearish conditions.

Ethereum Struggles Amid Decreased DApp Activity

Wednesday. January 22 at 3:00 AM

Ethereum has faced challenges in surpassing $3,500 since Jan. 7, indicating weakness despite a 6% gain in the overall crypto market. The decline in Ethereum-based DApps volume has raised concerns about its price lagging behind. Ethereum's onchain activity has notably underperformed compared to other blockchains, with a 38% drop in volumes over a 7-day period. In contrast, BNB Chain and Solana experienced significant activity surges. Ethereum also no longer ranks in the top five blockchains for weekly fees, generating only $46 million compared to Solana's $71 million. The ongoing debate revolves around balancing transaction costs and ETH staking rewards, with proposed solutions including fee adjustments or inflation rate reductions. Despite retaining its top position in total value locked, Ethereum faces uncertainty due to increased competition from Solana, which has seen a surge in deposits and activity.
