Decentralized computation protocol Arpa Network launched on the Ethereum mainnet Wednesday following two months of testnet operations, developers confirmed to CoinDesk.

Arpa developers say the network allows users to conduct blockchain activities and transactions in a way that preserves privacy, such that on-chain behavior cannot easily be traced back to an entity or group of users.

The launch allows Ethereum developers to use Arpa to build and deploy decentralized applications (dapps) such as lotteries, gaming, decentralized voting systems and identity management systems, among other uses.

On June 22, Arpa Network will initiate the minting of the remaining 500 million arpa (ARPA) tokens that have been reserved for staking rewards. These tokens will also serve as a reserve to fund the growth of the Arpa ecosystem.

The tokens will be released incrementally, ensuring a gradual vesting process for stakers, validating nodes and other ecosystem participants.

The network is now finalizing a six-month community pool staking program, with plans to allocate 1.5 million tokens as monthly rewards. Community members can stake tokens to earn rewards and monitor the network’s performance.

Each arpa exchanged hands for 5 cents as of Wednesday morning. They have a market capitalization of $50 million, data shows.

Meanwhile, Arpa Network developers added they are pursuing integration with other EVM-compatible chains such BNB Chain and exploring the potential of layer 2 chains.

Pudgy Penguins: A New Blueprint for Tokenized Culture

Pudgy Title Image

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.

Cosa sapere:

Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.

The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.

Bitcoin's Quantum threat is ‘real but distant,’ says Wall Street analyst as doomsday debate rages on

Wall Street broker Benchmark argued the crypto network has ample time to evolve as quantum risks shift from theory to risk management.

Cosa sapere:

  • Broker Benchmark said Bitcoin’s main vulnerability lies in exposed public keys, not the protocol itself.
  • Coinbase’s new Quantum Advisory Council marks a shift from theoretical concern to institutional response.
  • Bitcoin’s architecture is conservative but adaptable, according to Benchmark analyst Mark Palmer, with a long runway for upgrades.
