In the previous article Premise and Designing Principle, we learned how to create a premise, what a designing principle is, and how to use a designing principle — if you've not read it yet, I suggest you read it before this one since this is the continuation. As said in my previous article, "the desire to write a story can often come from wanting to use a specific detail, a detail that you cherish for a personal reason." It can be an object, a color, a dialogue, a character's name, or anything.

In the previous article Theme, Values and Morale Debate, we saw the importance of the message of your story, and how to send it properly — if you've not read it yet, I suggest you read it before this one since this is the continuation. We have seen in this past article the importance of structure in exploring your moral debate. In this article, we will have a look at the different types of structures that a story can be built with.

In the previous article, Introduction to Storytelling, we saw what storytelling is, how you want your project to be perceived and what kind of story you want to tell — if you’ve not read it yet, I suggest you read it before this one, since this is the continuation. In this article, we look at how to tell your story in an innovative and efficient way by exploring two concepts : the premise and the designing principle. I. Premise A premise is your story summarized in one sentence.

Ethereum, the most popular smart contract blockchain, can be slow and expensive to use. While upgrades are on the way to speed things up, a host of other networks have asked: why wait? One such network is Polygon, a “layer-2” network that helps scale the Ethereum blockchain. That means that it sits atop Ethereum but processes transactions faster and cheaper, then feeds back transaction information to Ethereum.

Ethereum’s market capitalization peaked at about $569 billion in May 2021. But despite its immense popularity and high value – it’s the second largest network after Bitcoin – the blockchain could be slow and expensive to use. Transactions took minutes to go through. When the network becomes congested, it could cost upward of $100 to execute a single transaction. Making matters worse was Ethereum’s environmental footprint.

There’s a strange phenomenon popular with crypto protocols. People have devoted their lives to amassing decentralized assets in the hopes that they’ll one day become immensely wealthy when their tokens soar in value. Why then, do some protocols “burn” these tokens – remove them permanently from circulation – in the millions or billions, when their creators could just as easily hoard them and strike it rich themselves?

Meta, formerly known as Facebook, almost got into the blockchain game. After Mark Zuckerberg abandoned the project, its developers repurposed what was left and created their own blockchain: Aptos. This article explains what it is, how it works, and why a lot of people are concerned about the way it is structured. How Aptos came to be When Meta got into the blockchain game in 2019, it created Libra, a payments project that created a currency pegged to the reserves of several major world currencies.

Your browser does not support the audio element. With ever-increasing interest and development in the metaverse and other graphics-intensive technologies like augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), high-end graphics rendering is going to be in high demand in the years ahead. The decentralized Render Network is taking a novel approach to high performance computing (HPC), prompting us to take a closer look. What is Render Network?

The innovative roll out of Web2 technologies has thrown up a number of issues when it comes to identity. A lot of work is being done to address these issues through decentralized identity projects. Decentralized identity: What it is and why it’s needed Decentralized identity encapsulates various approaches to bringing about a manner in which people control their own personal data and credentials while still being able to interact with government, service providers and other entities.

As the dust settles on ‘the merge’ - Ethereum’s major blockchain upgrade - it’s an apt time to take a look at how it played out and what the initial outcomes have been. Successful execution From a technical standpoint, Ethereum’s largest protocol upgrade to date was an incredible achievement. The culmination of countless hours of work carried out by hundreds of people over a number of years, it had been subject to several delays along its timeline.
