Few people expected the Nigerian crypto economy to explode after the country’s central bank and financial regulators banned crypto trading. But it has, and it’s now the eighth-largest crypto market in the world, according to Chainalysis.

Ray Youssef, the founder and CEO of Paxful, has already taken the exchange global and has worked this year to integrate new features – like Bitcoin’s Lightning network.

Quantum Computing Room

While Bitcoin developers scramble to find a solution and Ethereum prepares for 'Q-day,' Solana is trying to get ahead of that scenario.

Що варто знати:

  • The Solana Foundation is working with Project Eleven to test quantum-resistant cryptography as concerns grow that future quantum computers could break current blockchain security.
  • Early tests show major tradeoffs: quantum-safe signatures are up to 40x larger and made the network roughly 90% slower, raising questions about scalability.
