Crypto space is determined by profitability, making select projects attractive from a financial point of view. One of the most important indicators determining the profitability of a project or liquidity pool is the APY – Annual Percentage Yield. What Is APY? The APY is a formula that calculates the rate of returns one can expect to receive from the funds they deposit into a liquidity pool or farming platform. The APY usually includes compounded interest, making the returns users can expect to receive rather considerable over a period of time. Most platforms and liquidity pools indicate high returns of APY for advertising purposes. Howe

The blockchain is a fully-digital system that has no link to the real world. The smart contracts that networks run on have no access to off-chain data, meaning that the blockchain’s application becomes limited to online events. However, the introduction of oracles changes that by creating a link to the outside world. Blockchain oracles are services provided by third parties that feed information about events outside the blockchain to smart contracts. By providing verified off-chain information about real-world events, oracles act as bridges that make blockchain applications in the outside world possible. There are currently three main t

The problem of blockchain scalability requires solutions. One of them was the development of the concept of sharing on the Ethereum network, which entails the breakdown of network data into smaller sections, which are called shards. The shards contain their own packets of data, allowing them to essentially become distinct from others and thus work on strictly assigned sections of network information. The application of sharding can help reduce network latency, as they free up more processing power from each network node. The nodes store and process all network data, and the ability to lessen the load on each will allow them to work more ef
