A potential client asked us to build a TRON wallet management system. The deeper we reviewed the spec, the clearer it became: it looked like an address-poisoning scam pipeline—so we walked away.
I’m inviting you to subscribe to the freeblock.dev Telegram channel—where we share crypto market updates, team news, and real project cases from our work.
Ethereum evolves through a structured proposal system called EIPs. Here’s how ideas become network upgrades, standards, and real changes adopted by the ecosystem.
CoinGecko data suggests Solana captures nearly half of global investor interest in blockchain ecosystems in 2024. Here’s why that matters—and why I’m actively looking for experienced Solana/Rust smart contract developers.
A client recently asked about selling “beautiful” Ethereum addresses that start with a recognizable pattern. Here’s how vanity addresses are generated, why it can take a long time, and why I believe the business model clashes with basic blockchain security principles.

Today I received one of the most unexpected client requests: a small Orthodox parish in rural Ukraine exploring NFTs to help fund a church renovation. It’s not “charity,” but it is a fascinating Web3 use case.
I looked into where metadata is stored for the all-time Top 20 NFT collections on OpenSea—and the result is a reminder that “decentralized” often has a centralized weak spot.
I analyzed a Web3 gambling game on Polygon and looked at the on-chain volume, fees, and what the numbers imply about UX, distribution, and business models in hybrid dApps.
Without really noticing, I’ve ended up operating day-to-day in a Web3 economy—building, earning, investing, and paying teams in crypto with far less reliance on fiat rails than I once assumed.
Solana’s daily on-chain transaction volume just crossed $40B, the highest level since October 2022. For me, it’s another clear signal that demand is returning—especially for teams building in Rust.
Etherscan’s acquisition of Solscan is a reminder that in Web3, the biggest opportunities aren’t always in trading—they’re in building the infrastructure everyone relies on.
