By:
Nate Urbas
3 November 2025
Ever wondered how AI actually plugs into crypto without the buzzwords? I’ve been tracking this space across hundreds of projects, and two big shifts are finally making sense together: zkML (AI you can verify) and decentralized GPU networks (compute you can rent on demand). Put simply: you can prove an AI result is correct without revealing everything, and you can run that AI on a marketplace of GPUs instead of paying top dollar to a single cloud. If you’re trying...

What if your first Web3 transaction lived inside your Telegram chat? No browser plugins, no seed phrase panic, no “which network?” headache — just a tap and you’re in. That’s the promise of Telegram Mini Apps running on TON. I’ve tested dozens of crypto onramps. Nothing gets a normie to their first on-chain action faster than this combo. “Tap to open” beats “install an extension, create a wallet, write down 12 words, switch networks, fund gas, try again.” Every extra...

What if your dollars quietly earned a return, settled payments in seconds, and felt as easy as your favorite app? That’s the promise of “Stablecoins 2.0” — and it’s not hype. It’s already peeking through in the tools I test and track every day on Cryptolinks News.

What if your post could be the product experience—tappable, fast, and finished right in the feed? That’s the magic of Farcaster Frames. They turn a cast into a mini-app with buttons, state, and verified actions—no janky redirects, no slow pages.

30 September 2025
How does a DeFi app know the exact price of ETH right now? If smart contracts can’t natively see the outside world, what tells them when to liquidate, issue loans, or settle trades? That silent middle layer is the oracle—usually invisible, absolutely critical, and the difference between a smooth day and a painful liquidation. I’ve reviewed a lot of crypto tools across bull and bear cycles. Oracles are the quiet MVPs behind lending markets, stablecoins, perps, and almost every “it...

Ever tried to move assets from one chain to another and thought, “Why is this so complicated?” Same. Whether it’s getting USDC from Ethereum to Arbitrum (USDC vs USDC.e), or swapping BTC straight into ETH without touching a centralized exchange, cross-chain often feels like a maze of fees, wait times, and “is this the right bridge?” anxiety. What’s broken right now Most blockchains are still isolated islands. Your assets, data, and activity don’t travel well between them, so you’re stuck...

Ever wanted to trade Apple, gold, or the euro—without opening a brokerage account, waiting for market hours, or moving money across three apps? What if you could do it straight from your wallet? That’s the promise of synthetic assets: on-chain positions that track the price of real-world markets, 24/7. No phone calls, no faxed statements, no “your region isn’t supported.” Just programmable exposure you control. Why getting exposure is still this hard Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned trader,...
