Prediction markets are not derivatives
Derivatives reference a process that evolves. Prediction markets reference an event waiting to resolve. That difference breaks all the hedging machinery.

A Complete Guide to Polkadot Bridges
📢Important Update: Sygma has evolved into Sprinter, shifting from traditional bridging to solvers and intent-centric infrastructure. While these posts reference Sygma, the core mission has expanded—Sprinter now focuses on optimizing cross-chain execution through solver-driven and intent-centric tools. As a network that allows arbitrary data—not just tokens—to be

Exploring the Integration of Zipline
Inspired by the work on ZK bridges by Succinct Labs, the fault-proof code from Optimism Cannon, and the Eth2 light client code from Snowbridge, the team’s goal was to build a trustless block header relay for Capser-based chains to EVM-based chains (like Avalanche and Polygon).

An Introduction to General Message Passing
We’re talking about an emerging class of interop solutions (sometimes called “arbitrary message bridges AMBs”) that leverage general message passing to offer something fundamentally new. Let’s unpack what this means.
