New Ideas from Nervos Talk
A Multi-Chain Composable Dynamic NFT Project
Storing NFTs on the target chain in SVG format without the need for third-party storage.
Generating unique Synthetic Blockchain Tokens (SBT) by processing the ETH address or public key and converting them into different colors and angles, all priced uniformly at 0.001 ETH or 365 CKB.
You can find more details and try out its demo. Don't forget to share your valuable feedback and insights on the Nervos Talk.
A PoW-Based Lottery Game
Lotteries are fun! What if incorporating PoW into lottery games and bringing it to the blockchain? The game's main idea comes from a Chinese lottery, Shuangseqiu, which shares similarities with PowerBall. As the prize pool grows, it's expected to attract more participants, enhancing overall engagement. Ensuring a fair and reasonable calculation mechanism is essential for the success of this project, and it can be adjusted by various parameters.

Why Async Rust?
This article is a response to the fiery discussion on Hacker News concerning Rust's asynchronous syntax design. The debate centers on whether Rust has made the right choice with this async approach, or if it should explore alternatives like 'stackful' or 'green threads'. By reviewing the design philosophy and development history of async in Rust, the article clarifies how the design decisions, particularly those related to async/await, have been influenced.
Storage Proofs: Achieving State Awareness Across Time and Chains
On blockchains like Ethereum, smart contracts encounter limitations when attempting to access state data beyond a 256-block window. These challenges become even more complex in multi-chain ecosystems, where verifying data retrieval across various execution layers is a formidable task. Storage proofs have now emerged as a promising frontier, offering smart contracts a form of awareness and memory. This article outlines existing solutions to these challenges of storage proofs in multi-chain ecosystems, all while exploring potential future applications.
Double Happiness
This article presents a thought-provoking analysis of the future of cryptocurrencies and the influence of AI on financial markets. The author explores the intersection of AI and crypto, foreseeing upcoming bull markets driven by increased fiat liquidity and the commercialization of AI. Given the historical role of technology in crypto bull markets, the fusion of fiat liquidity and AI technology promises to bring 'double happiness' to investors. As an example, Filecoin, a large-scale data storage project, stands to benefit due to data's critical role in the AI market.

The Techno-Optimist Manifesto
This manifesto argues that people should embrace technology for its remarkable potential to drive progress and enhance human life. The prevailing belief that technology poses a significant threat to humanity is a “lie”. Technology serves as the cornerstone of human civilization, addressing societal challenges. Techno-optimists firmly believe that technology is the main source of growth and that free markets, intelligence, and energy are the driving forces behind prosperity. While acknowledging that technology is not a panacea, the Techno-Optimist Manifesto calls for a shift in mindset to fully embrace the vast possibilities that technology offers.
