BP Introduces the Crypto Basics Series | Bankless Publishing Recap
Dear Bankless Readers 🏴 Bankless Publishing is excited to announce the creation of a new educational initiative, the Crypto Basics Series. Each Monday, we’ll ship some of our previous introductory web3 content on Mirror, enabling users to curate a web3 reference library by minting the articles as NFTs on Optimism. Judging by the first mint, there’s an appetite for this content! Also of note, we’ve begun to share our content on LinkedIn. While it’s just about the direct opposite of Mirror in terms of platform, it’s important that we meet the crypto curious where they are, and for most people, that’s on traditional web2 platforms. Welcome to web3, frens. In this issue, we’re covering the gamut, from an all-in-one DeFi protocol to the history of MEV in TradFi. There’s a primer on ImpactDAOs, a look at the next stop on the Ethereum Roadmap, a tour through the Cosmos, and a must-have guide on how to stay safe on this amazing frontier. Thanks for joining us on this adventure. This recap is a convenient way to access all our recent articles, but if you prefer to read Bankless Publishing content while it’s sizzling hot off the press, follow us on Twitter or come and join us in Discord. Contributors: HiroKennelly, Frank America, Kornekt, Trewkat, Puretayo Bankless Publishing is driven by a mission to ennoble its writers and showcase their content to a broad audience of crypto-interested readers. We also work with crypto’s leading protocols to help them get their message out to our audience. Whether you’re a writer or protocol team, we’re interested in talking with you.

Each week we’ll be shipping some of our previous introductory web3 content on Mirror, enabling users to curate a web3 reference library by minting the articles as NFTs on Optimism. First up is the foundation of it all: Decentralized Ledger Technology 101. There were 10 editions for this mint, and it was fully collected in the first few hours. We’ll highlight this series through the Bankless Publishing Twitter account, so please follow us to stay up to date on the shipping schedule. The Crypto Basics Series by @BanklessPub

Distributed Ledger Technology 101
From distributed databases to how linking data and adding in cryptography creates a blockchain, this article covers the technological foundations of crypto.
✍️ Article SummariesIs Vertex the Future of DeFi?Author: Jake and Stake | Editors: Hiro Kennelly & Frank America | Designer: Tonytad Vertex is an all-in-one DeFi protocol, built on Arbitrum, that combines the best features of centralized exchanges — like low fees, deep liquidity, and fast speeds — with the self-custody and transparency of DeFi. With everything from spot trading to money markets and perpetual swaps, Vertex may be the future of DeFi.
Although Vertex is still on Testnet, look for its launch on Arbitrum Mainnet soon. And thank you Vertex for sponsoring this article. ImpactDAOs Are Shaping Regenerative OrganizationsAuthor: 0xSardius | Editor: Kornekt | Designer: Dippudo ImpactDAOs are organized around a mission to create positive social and environmental change. This movement, which is influenced by the work of Gitcoin’s Kevin Owocki, seeks to create regenerative organizations that are more transparent, efficient, and equitable than traditional models, all while serving to enhance the public good.
Proto-Danksharding BasicsAuthor: Hiro Kennelly | Editors: Tomahawk & Trewkat | Designer: Tonytad Proto-danksharding is the next stop for Ethereum after ETH withdrawals are enabled this year. With this network upgrade, the Ethereum developers are introducing the infrastructure needed to further decentralize the network, while also immediately reducing L2 fees, perhaps by as much as 20 times.
Alternative L1s: CosmosAuthor: Austin Foss | Editor: Kornket | Designer: Chameleon Cosmos is a Layer 1 blockchain that uses an innovative proof-of-stake mechanism called Tendermint, and it has an ever-growing number of related L1s, which it uses to scale. The Cosmos universe has expanded to 200+ dApps since its launch four years ago. Even more impressive is the fact that parts of the technology behind Cosmos are also used by entirely different ecosystems, including Polygon and BNB.
Safe Access to the Digital UniverseAuthor: Anaphant | Editors: Hiro Kennelly & Trewkat | Designer: ab_colours This article weaves a personal crypto coming-of-age tale with excellent advice on how to stay safe while exploring NFTs and DeFi. With a focus on seed phrases, the author covers the differences between seed phrases, public and private keys, and wallet addresses. She offers suggestions on how to keep these pieces of crucial information safe, which helps to overcome anxiety about transacting in the cryptoverse.
MEV in Traditional FinanceAuthor: Jake and Stake | Editor: Kornekt | Designer: Chameleon Did you know that the foundations of Maximum Extractable Value can be found in TradFi? This article reviews the history of high-frequency trading, an industry where milliseconds count and the profits are derived from asymmetrical information, often at the expense of retail investors.
