What is a token generation event (TGE): how crypto tokens are distributed
A token generation event (TGE) refers to a crypto project creating and releasing a digital token to eligible users. TGEs usually involve the release of a utility token for the crypto project or service in question rather than coins, which often represent a store of value. TGEs can therefore be a significant moment in a project's roadmap and catalyst for growth.

10 top Proof of Stake tokens in 2024
Proof of Stake (PoS) is a consensus algorithm used in blockchain networks to validate transactions and create new blocks. PoS differs from Proof of Work (PoW) in that it doesn't require nodes to solve complex mathematical puzzles. Instead, validators are chosen based on the amount of cryptocurrency they hold. This makes PoS more energy-efficient and cost-effective than PoW.

What is a memecoin supercycle: real or a reality check?
Is the memecoin supercycle real? Instead of being an idealized take on how liquidity in the crypto market will flow, the concept of a memecoin supercycle has recently gained traction as crypto traders eagerly anticipate the idea of a memecoin bull market driven by memecoin excitement. The data seems to back this theory too, as the crypto market has witnessed a steady rise in memecoin adoption in recent months as traders choose to purchase and hold onto digital assets inspired by internet culture and memes. Does the memecoin supercycle theory hold weight or is it just another crypto supercycle reality check for bullish traders?
