A centralized bottleneck caused the global internet blackout today

A centralized bottleneck caused the global internet blackout today

The post A centralized bottleneck caused the global internet blackout today appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A single company’s outage today disrupted access to internet services worldwide, revealing just how much global traffic depends on Cloudflare. Cloudflare’s status page described the event as an “internal service degradation” that began at 11:48 UTC, saying some services were “intermittently impacted” while teams worked to restore traffic flows. Earlier, at 11:34 UTC, CryptoSlate noticed services were reachable at the origin, but Cloudflare’s London edge returned an error page, with similar behavior observed through Frankfurt and Chicago via VPN. That pattern suggests trouble in the edge and application layers rather than at the customer origin servers. Cloudflare confirmed the problem publicly at 11:48 UTC, reporting widespread HTTP 500 errors and problems with its own dashboard and API. NetBlocks, a network watchdog, reported disruptions to a range of online services in multiple countries and attributed the event to Cloudflare technical issues, while stressing that this was not related to state-level blocking or shutdowns. Cloudflare acknowledged a global disruption at approximately 13:03 UTC, followed by a first recovery update at around 13:21 UTC. Its own log of status updates shows how the incident evolved from internal degradation to a broad outage that touched user-facing tools, remote access products, and application services. Time (UTC) Status page update 11:48 Cloudflare reports internal service degradation and intermittent impact 12:03–12:53 Company continues investigation while error rates remain elevated 13:04 WARP access in London disabled during remediation attempts 13:09 Issue marked as identified and fix in progress 13:13 Access and WARP services recover, WARP re-enabled in London 13:35–13:58 Work continues to restore application services for customers 14:34 Dashboard services restored, remediation ongoing for application impact While the exact technical root cause has not yet been publicly detailed, the observable symptoms were consistent across many services that sit behind Cloudflare. Users encountered 500 internal server errors from the…

XRP analysts shift 2025 outlook as liquidity models evolve

XRP analysts shift 2025 outlook as liquidity models evolve

The post XRP analysts shift 2025 outlook as liquidity models evolve appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Analysts shift 2025 XRP outlook as funds eye liquidity models. Summary Institutional funds are now valuing XRP based on liquidity, compliance, and infrastructure maturity, rather than brand recognition or hype cycles. XRP Tundra implements DAMM V2, introducing features like exponential fee scheduling, NFT-based liquidity positions, and permanent liquidity locks to stabilize early market phases. The project roadmap includes GlacierChain for XRPL Layer-2, enhanced governance via TUNDRA-X, audited security, and a dual-token system to foster cross-chain and staking innovations. Cryptocurrency analysts have begun revising their 2025 market outlook, with XRP appearing prominently in several pricing models, according to recent industry reports. Crypto Volt, a cryptocurrency analysis firm, released research outlining projections for XRP’s (XRP) performance under updated risk frameworks used by mid-sized funds. The analysis differs from predictions in previous market cycles, which focused primarily on structural changes affecting capital allocation. Institutional trading desks in 2025 are evaluating digital assets based on liquidity depth, regulatory alignment, infrastructure maturity and cash-flow potential rather than market momentum alone, according to the report. This recalibration has placed XRP and its expanding ecosystem, particularly XRP Tundra, into discussions about strategic positioning for the year ahead. The Crypto Volt analysis stated that funds have adopted more disciplined asset selection criteria to support institutional-scale flows without destabilizing prices. XRP’s liquidity distribution, regulatory clarity and suitability for cross-border financial infrastructure have elevated the token within risk-adjusted ranking systems that previously favored Bitcoin and Ethereum almost exclusively, according to the report. The analyst noted that institutional buyers are examining functional exposure rather than brand familiarity. XRP’s role in settlement architecture provides a concrete utility narrative, which has led several analysts to place it among cryptocurrencies with potential to outperform during the upcoming cycle, the report stated. Exchange-traded funds are providing compliant pathways for traditional investors, expanding demand beyond speculative…

DappRadar bids farewell to what was once a grand dream of the GameFi and NFT craze.

DappRadar bids farewell to what was once a grand dream of the GameFi and NFT craze.

Author: Zen, PANews Like leaves falling endlessly, the "death" of numerous projects is an inevitable stage in the industry cycle as it enters a downturn, something that practitioners have long been accustomed to. However, the announcement yesterday by the well-known decentralized application data platform DappRadar that it will cease operations still sent shockwaves through the entire industry. In less than 24 hours, DappRadar's announcement tweet had garnered over 1.6 million views. The phrase "Seven years later, it's time to say goodbye" evoked sadness, nostalgia, and a desire to offer help. CoinMarketCap CEO @RushCMC asked, "Is there any way to keep you here?" Many others lamented, "In a pure Web3 world, projects like DappRadar should be thriving." The "seven-year itch" is difficult to overcome; business shut down due to imbalance between income and expenditure. On November 17, 2025, DappRadar co-founders Skirmantas Januskas and Dunica Dragos announced on the social media platform X that they would be gradually ceasing their data tracking services for all blockchains and DApps over the next few days. They stated that they had tried various options in the past, but ultimately had to make the difficult decision to shut down the business. The two founders stated that in the seven years since its inception, the DappRadar platform has collaborated with hundreds of blockchains and thousands of projects. However, the platform's current scale and cost structure are no longer compatible with the market environment, and operating a platform of this size is financially unsustainable. To some extent, the massive data infrastructure built during the high traffic of the bull market has become a money-burning "burden" during the long bear market. Coupled with the lack of revenue channels, this has contributed to its current situation of being unable to make ends meet and becoming unsustainable. DappRadar has previously raised approximately $7.33 million in two funding rounds, including a $5 million Series A round in May 2021 led by Prosus Ventures and Lightspeed Venture Partners, with participation from Blockchain Ventures and others. During that period of cryptocurrency adoption and rampant speculation, these funds were used to expand data coverage and product functionality. Regarding the platform token, the DappRadar team adopted a gradual release strategy. Its native token, RADAR, initially had a relatively small circulating supply. Launched in December 2021, approximately 10.6% of the total supply was released by the end of 2023. However, after the beginning of 2024, the price of RADAR tokens generally declined continuously, falling far from its peak of $0.05, a drop of over 97% . RADAR token price chart, data source: CoinGecko Following the announcement of the shutdown, the price of RADAR plummeted by approximately 30% that day, reaching around $0.0006838 as of 7 PM Beijing time on November 18th. The team has not yet clarified the future arrangements for the RADAR token and DappRadar DAO, only stating that they will solicit opinions through community channels and announce their decision. Why is DappRadar's business model unsustainable? The financial unsustainability stems more from DappRadar's business model and revenue streams. As a data platform, the issuance and operation of the RADAR token is also part of its business model and is tied to user paid subscriptions. In 2021, when DappRadar issued its native token RADAR, it also launched the DappRadar PRO premium membership service. Compared to the basic features of the free version for regular users, PRO members can access exclusive data, customized alerts, advanced filtering, and other exclusive benefits. Unlike traditional paid subscription models, DappRadar PRO uses a token staking system: users must stake a certain amount of RADAR tokens to activate their membership, with a 30-day unlocking cooldown period. This design, on the one hand, promotes token demand, and on the other hand, incentivizes users to hold tokens long-term through a 15% annualized staking reward. This approach of linking advanced features with the token economy can theoretically drive token value growth through user holdings and staking. Targeting B2B clients, DappRadar primarily monetizes through advertising via its data community. Advertising formats include banner ads on its website, sponsored articles, social media promotions, co-hosting online events, email marketing, and sponsoring token airdrops, with varying pricing structures. During the industry's heyday, these revenue streams were substantial and constituted a significant portion of DappRadar's income. During a period of narrative failure and market downturn, DappRadar also experimented with launching other services to increase platform revenue. In May of this year, DappRadar also launched the DappRadar Premium subscription service for developers, which is charged per Dapp at $249 per project per month. Purchasing a premium subscription entitles users to greater exposure on project pages, priority review of submitted updates, more detailed monthly traffic and on-chain metric reports, and customized data dashboards. This model essentially charges projects a marketing and data analytics service fee, aiming to generate recurring revenue for the platform. Clearly, this measure proved ineffective, and six months after the launch of DappRadar Premium, DappRadar reached its end. Essentially, its meager revenue was inextricably linked to the decline of the very sector it chose to focus on. The Great Decline of GameFi and the NFT Industry Although DappRadar has been providing data on all categories of dApps, and its homepage navigation covers multiple categories such as DeFi, NFTs, Games, Tokens, and Exchanges, its brand influence and revenue opportunities are highly concentrated in the blockchain gaming and NFT sectors. During the previous bull market, its rankings, market data, and reports were frequently cited by the media, investors, and players. Especially in the blockchain gaming/GameFi sector, during the period when the P2E model maintained high activity, the DappRadar platform was favored for its comprehensive, accurate, and objective data, becoming a significant driver of its traffic growth. DappRadar has also remained true to its original mission, cultivating deep expertise in the gaming field for a long time, and its original content, such as blog posts and reports, is mostly related to blockchain gaming. Upon hearing the news of DappRadar's shutdown, Jihoz, co-founder of the well-known blockchain game Axie Infinity and the gaming public chain Ronin, expressed his deep sadness, saying that checking their game's ranking on the Ethereum leaderboard every day had become a daily habit. Even when Jihoz first met his future wife in 2019, he introduced her to her, saying, "Our game is ranked number one on DappRadar, with 200 daily active users." Another strength of DappRadar is its NFT market data tracking and ranking system, which is also a tool for many NFT players to learn about data when they first enter the field. NFT marketplace Element stated that DappRadar, as one of the most comprehensive NFT data platforms, has been used by them to track industry trends, and said, "DappRadar has always been a veteran in the cryptocurrency field, and it is a pity to see it come to an end." As the saying goes, "what goes up must come down." With the continued decline in the activity of NFTs and GameFi after 2022, project marketing budgets have shrunk, and user and media attention has decreased. DappRadar's two most commercially promising businesses have long since faded away. According to DappRadar's latest blockchain game report , the average daily active wallets for blockchain games in the third quarter were 4.66 million, a further decrease of 4.4% compared to the second quarter. In the first quarter of this year, there were 5.8 million, and the number has been slowly declining ever since. Furthermore, in the second quarter of 2025 alone, more than 300 Web3 games ceased updates or shut down, accounting for approximately 8% of the games listed on the platform. The NFT sector is also facing difficulties. According to CoinGecko data , the global NFT market capitalization plummeted by $3.5 billion in one month, from approximately $6.6 billion on October 5th, a drop of 45%. Even though sales increased in October, briefly pushing up the floor price of blue-chip NFTs, the market remains deeply sluggish. As a result, the disappearance of a large number of games and NFT projects and the continuous decrease in active players have led to a shrinking of the active ecosystem that platforms like DappRadar, which provide blockchain game and NFT data, can cover, and the external attention to the platform has also decreased accordingly. Finally, as DappRadar came to an end, many of the platform's longtime users began to realize—that it had such a difficult journey. This sense of loss and remembrance is both the highest respect for DappRadar and a poignant reminder of the industry's decline and dullness.

Ethereum Unveils New Technical Details about Interop Layer

Ethereum Unveils New Technical Details about Interop Layer

The post Ethereum Unveils New Technical Details about Interop Layer appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Ethereum Interop Layer aims to let users and developers interact with all L2 networks as if they were a single chain. Ethereum on Tuesday released new technical details about its upcoming Interop Layer, a system meant to make the network’s growing Layer 2 (L2) ecosystem work like a single chain. In a post from Yoav Weiss of Ethereum’s Account and Chain Abstraction team, the Ethereum Interop Layer (EIL), originally unveiled this past summer, is described as a way for users to send tokens, mint NFTs, and trade across different rollups without switching networks or relying on bridges. The system also aims to eliminate the need for wallets and dapps to integrate with each L2 separately, reducing engineering work and reliance on third-party services, the post explains. If successful, the EIL could address one of Ethereum’s biggest usability issues: fragmentation across rollups. Instead of dealing with multiple networks, bridges, and gas tokens, users and devs could interact with L2s as if they were all part of a single chain. Ethereum is currently the world’s largest smart contract blockchain with a total value locked (TVL) of over $72.5 billion in decentralized finance (DeFi), according to DefiLlama. Ethereum’s native token Ether (ETH) is currently trading at $3,000 with a market cap of nearly $364 billion, making it the second largest cryptocurrency, according to The Defiant’s price page. How it Works Marissa Posner, of the Ethereum Foundation’s Product team, explained to The Defiant that EIL is automatically compatible with all EVM L2s. “Since all we need is that the L2 is an EVM compatible rollup, anyone can deploy EIL, and it doesn’t require explicit integration with the L2,” she said. “For v1, there are a few requirements: Settle to Ethereum L1, expose a canonical bridge, and be EVM-compatible.” To send multichain transactions, wallets…

Top Altcoins Heat Up as $BTC Trends Down – Bitcoin Hyper Could Pump Next

Top Altcoins Heat Up as $BTC Trends Down – Bitcoin Hyper Could Pump Next

What to Know: The altcoin market is showing a distinct preference for projects with strong technological fundamentals and clear utility over purely speculative assets. Recent price predictions suggest a 300% pump for $SHIB if the token reaches two critical levels, which would set it up for an aggressive rally. Bitcoin Hyper introduces a Layer 2 solution that brings high-speed smart contracts to the Bitcoin ecosystem via a Solana Virtual Machine integration. The $HYPER presale raised over $27.8M so far with a token price of $0.013295 and staking rewards currently at 41%. The altcoin market is at a fascinating crossroads. While speculative assets have dominated cycles past, a clear trend toward utility is emerging. Investors are looking past fleeting hype, demanding projects with sustainable technology and real-world use cases. This shift in sentiment is reshaping the altcoin market outlook for 2025, forcing a re-evaluation of long-term value. Take top altcoins like Shiba Inu, for instance, which is currently at a crossroads, showing clear-cut signs of consolidation and momentum buildup. Trader’s expectation of a 300% $SHIB pump long-term is no longer unrealistic, provided $SHIB can hold two critical levels. Bitcoin, on the other hand, is currently at the opposite end of the spectrum, after crashing below $90K today. The reasons are multiple, from bulk whale sells to dwindling investor participation and increased fear. But there’s another problem worth talking about. Bitcoin, the original cryptocurrency, offers unparalleled security and trust but its slow transaction speeds, high fees, and lack of native smart contract capabilities, have hindered its investor appeal. Right now, Bitcoin ranks 30th in terms of TPS. A new contender, Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) aims to solve this trilemma directly. As the newest Bitcoin Layer 2 solution integrating the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), Hyper promises to unlock Bitcoin’s dormant potential. By creating a high-speed execution layer on top of Bitcoin’s secure settlement, Bitcoin Hyper introduces the programmability and performance needed for modern dApps. This approach could fundamentally alter the competitive dynamics of the blockchain space, bringing high-performance applications to the industry’s most trusted network. Bitcoin Hyper Redefines Speed and Programmability Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) tackles Bitcoin’s core limitations head-on. Its modular architecture uses Bitcoin’s Layer 1 for ultimate security and settlement while a real-time SVM-based Layer 2 handles transaction execution. This allows for extremely low-latency processing and high-speed, low-cost transactions. The project’s decentralized Canonical Bridge facilitates seamless and secure cross-minting of $BTC into its L2 environment. By integrating the Solana Virtual Machine, Bitcoin Hyper brings fast, scalable smart contracts to the Bitcoin ecosystem. This move enables developers to build sophisticated DeFi applications, NFT platforms, and gaming dApps using familiar tools like the Rust programming language. This innovative approach is capturing significant attention. The ongoing presale for its native token, $HYPER, has already raised an impressive $27.8M+ at the time of writing, with $HYPER sitting at $0.013295. This strong demand signals major investor confidence in the project’s vision. If this type of hype continues, $HYPER could explode post release. Our price prediction for $HYPER, based on the project’s utility and community support, puts the token at $0.08625 by the end of 2026. In terms of ROI, we’re talking about potential profits of 548%. This is enough of an incentive for any crypto hunter looking for portfolio diversification. If this sounds like you, make sure you read our guide on how to buy $HYPER today. Check $HYPER’s live presale today. A New Ecosystem for DeFi, Gaming, and Payments The implications of bringing high-performance smart contracts to Bitcoin are massive. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) unlocks a wide range of use cases previously impossible on the network, creating a new ecosystem for developers and users alike. Developers can build swaps, lending platforms, and staking protocols that leverage Bitcoin’s liquidity with the speed of an SVM chain. For everyday traders, use cases range from high-speed payments in wrapped $BTC with minimal fees to comprehensive DeFi protocols. With presale tokens currently priced at $0.013295, early participants are getting in at the ground floor – an opportunity which won’t last long anymore. The project has a projected release window between Q4 2025 and Q1 2026 so, if you want to invest, invest today. Secure your $HYPER today. This isn’t financial advice. DYOR and manage risks wisely before investing. Crypto is a high-risk market and presales have no success guarantee.
