Lit Protocol was built to be a foundational building block of the open, user-owned web. As the first decentralized and programmable key management infrastructure, Lit removes the burden on developers to manage keys and cryptography, allowing key material and compute to remain private and under users’ control. For years, Lit has served as a core primitive for signing and encryption, demonstrating use cases across the web3 ecosystem and traditional enterprises alike. In this article we dive into how Lit becomes the critical enabler for the next generation of applications on the open internet.

Blockchain gaming remains largely an unfulfilled promise.

Earlier this year we made the decision to invest into Botto, a decentralized autonomous artist (DAA) that has been pioneering at the intersection of AI, blockchains, and community governance.

Bots are cast as villains—exploiters of loopholes, cheaters in a system built for humans. But is that the whole story?

Today, 1kx proudly unveils zkSafe, a module designed to enhance privacy for Safe multisig signing for users while offering developers a seamless, backend-free interface, providing them greater customization and debugging capabilities.Wallet infrastructure plays a crucial role in our ecosystem, and Safe stands out as a leading solution for onchain asset management. With over $70 billion in assets spread across more than 10 million smart accounts, Safe’s active users are up 67% quarter over quarter as of Q2 2024. In her recent piece, "Safe Unlocking the Era of Programmable Ownership", our Research Principal Nichanan Kesonplat details how Safe's architecture supports feature expansions through third-party modules.

Everyone complains about how nothing real has come out of crypto.

We survey the trustless interoperability landscape by defining and discussing six levels of interoperability solutions between fragmented rollup ecosystems.

Here, you will find links to previous 1kx Mirror posts, which are no longer directly linked to our page due to a change in the operational setup. You can still view and mint the works below, as well as find them on our Medium.
