Ubisoft is pulling its ads from Twitter, also known as X, Axios reported Monday. The Assassin’s Creed publisher’s advertising pause comes after tech firms like Apple, IBM, and Oracle as well as Hollywood studios like Disney, Paramount, Lionsgate, Comcast, NBCU, and Warner Bros. Discovery stopped running ads on the social media platform due to concerns that antisemitic content is swirling on the site unchecked. While Ubisoft’s exact reason for suspending its Twitter ads has not yet been confirmed, the parade of billion-dollar firms pulling ads from the platform could have certainly influenced the game studio’s decision. Decrypt has reached out…

Blockchains may be transparent, but Solana’s data-heavy ledger might be better described as translucent. A new block explorer called Quantum is vying to change that. Built by the the team behind SolanaFM, the overhauled block explorer prioritizes simplicity in its presentation of what’s happening on the Solana blockchain, its developers say. That’s a notable difference from many other Solana ecosystem explorers, many of which (including SolanaFM) are detail-oriented at the expense of easy readability. The service, which already has 53,000 signups, debuts as the entire Solana ecosystem emerges from a prolonged downtrend, led by the rallying price of SOL itself.…

A post by crypto commentator Polynya went viral after alleging pointless and toxic competition between monolithic blockchain communities. With over 340,000 views on X (formerly Twitter), the post calls out hyperfocus on infrastructure while neglecting real-world use. Polynya even took a swipe at supporters — renaming them “bagholders” — of any particular monolithic blockchain’s token: BTC, ETH, ADA, SOL, TRX, AVAX, LTC, BCH, XLM, BSV, XMR, etc. Polynya didn’t focus the critique on any particular protocol. The post calls competition between blockchains a disgrace, saying that most developers should abandon “cripplingly bad” monolithic blockchains entirely. Polynya was once a popular…

As blockchains scale, the cost of transactions and blockspace falls. The 2022-2023 bear market has been characterized by a continuous build out of infrastructure, to lay the groundwork for future growth. Yet arguments about the best way to scale abound, they often fall into one of two camps. One is “modular,” with its standard-bearers Ethereum and Cosmos. The other is “monolithic” which has come to be dominated in the crypto zeitgeist by Solana — although they prefer the term “integrated.” An essay published Friday by pseudonymous Ethereum advocate Polynya critiquing monolithic blockchains, while not mentioning it by name, has been…

Assassin’s Creed maker Ubisoft is arguably the most active major video game publisher playing in the blockchain world today. Now, the firm is expanding its reach even further by launching another set of NFT avatars for the metaverse game, The Sandbox. Avatars based on Ubisoft’s new Netflix animated series, “Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix,” will be added to The Sandbox. And since the adults-oriented show itself mashes up characters and franchises from Ubisoft’s history, so too will the avatar collection. A total of 1,866 unique player avatars will be released via NFTs on Polygon, an Ethereum scaling network, and…

Web3 has placed so much emphasis on the baseline concept of zero-knowledge technology that it now sits on a pedestal, a spotlight cast over every development. But its scalability, security and privacy benefits do not make it trustworthy by default. People fail to recognize that zero-knowledge (zk) technology, in a Web3 context, is still fairly new and not without flaws. Developers are actively addressing zk tech’s current issues, but the innovative nature of the space means that they are often conceptualizing faster than they can build. Continuing to put trust into zk technology without fully understanding its problems is perilous…
