Scalability. How can we use cryptocurrencies for the future if we cannot be able to use it now, instantaneously? Higher amount of users demands higher TPS, Harmony could address that all, here’s how works.
Introducing Harmony?
Harmony is an open, decentralized market. The Harmony protocol was created to build an open... | ['Scalability', 'Ethereum', 'Harmony', 'Cryptocurrency', 'Blockchain'] |
Using blockchains to trade blockchain-based assets makes sense. We all know it. Any other situation is rather puzzling. So why, as traders, are we giving our cherished, trustless, magical money to trusted intermediaries? Why are we trading IOUs? Why would we ever move our assets off the open platforms that promise to p... | ['Scalability', 'Zero Knowledge Proofs', 'Decentralized Exchange', 'Version3', 'Blockchain'] |

Artificial Intelligence has begun providing real value to organizations in various industries. This will start becoming more apparent in the future as AI solutions become more accessible and easier to implement. However, even with the high levels of interest in leveraging AI and ML solutions, implement... | ['Machine Learning', 'Enterprise Technology', 'Scalability', 'Infrastructure', 'Artificial Intelligence'] |
When we spend enough time with friends, family, or on the internet, we may come across people sharing about investment, passive income, financial freedom or something similar in this category. In short, it’s how we can grow our wealth exponentially. At the same time, this is also a mythical area, where many tried but v... | ['Scalability', 'Business Strategy', 'Personal Development', 'Invesment', 'Passive Income'] |
Scalable Machine Learning with Spark
Since the early 2000s, the amount of data collected has increased enormously due to the advent of internet giants such as Google, Netflix, Youtube, Amazon, Facebook, etc. Near to 2010, another “data wave” had come about when mobile phones became hugely popular. In 2020s, we anticip... | ['Machine Learning', 'Spark', 'Scalability', 'Hadoop', 'Distributed Systems'] |
Layer 2, also known as off-chain solution, is a way to solve scalability and congestion issues for blockchains with heavy traffic and high gas fees. There are several Layer 2 solutions, however, each of them bears its own limitations. By possessing the pros of Layer 2 solutions, such as high throughput and confirmation... | ['Blockchain Technology', 'Scalability', 'Thundercore', 'Layer 2', 'Blockchain'] |
Wallets
StarkEx is a self-custodial scalability engine. We’ve described the different facets of a self-custodial system, with wallets being one of them. This post describes the work we’ve been doing with various wallet providers to ensure that StarkEx remains a self-custodial system throughout.
An important trait of ... | ['Scalability', 'Ethereum', 'Starkex Self Custody', 'Zkp', 'Blockchain'] |
Roadblock: The DAG-ger that cut deep
The application logs by themselves weren’t very useful to debug as we could just see tasks failing — but not the exact conditions in which they were failing. For example, we saw that our code was still failing due to a memory issue at the JOIN step. Which was weird — as memory shou... | ['Scalability', 'Experience', 'Data', 'Distributed Systems', 'Learning'] |
Optimizations, Optimizations & Optimizations
It’s usually tough to find out scopes of optimization in Spark-esque code, especially if you’re new to it — however, the trick is to pay attention to the important aspects like Memory Optimizations & Minimizing Data Shuffling.
So, we called upon one of the experts in our t... | ['Scalability', 'Experience', 'Data', 'Distributed Systems', 'Learning'] |
The Required Capability
Now, let me explain the capability we required and recently added support for. As the Data Engineering Org, we act as a bridge between the source teams that have the ready consumable data, and the analysts who want to run performant queries on such a huge scale of data to derive insights.
In t... | ['Scalability', 'Experience', 'Data', 'Distributed Systems', 'Learning'] |
