Piercing the silence

Not only in Russia, but across the world, regulation of the open internet has tightened in recent years. The result is that the global web is starting to fray before our eyes. In this ForkLog report, together with Ilya Perevalov, a technical expert at “Роскомсвободы”, we examine the degree of isolation in the Runet and […]

A financial reboot—or another crisis?

In recent years the financial system has been hit by ever more frequent and unpredictable shocks that undermine its resilience. Classic support measures no longer deliver, and talk of another global crisis is growing louder. Against this backdrop, the adoption by TradFi of technological novelties—digital currencies, tokenised assets, blockchain platforms and the like—looks logical. On […]

Silicon Tanks: Ted Nelson’s Vision

Ted Nelson is a man who foresaw the future of the internet long before it came into being. He introduced the terms “hypertext” and “hypermedia,” which became the foundation of the World Wide Web. However, the internet we use today is but a pale and distorted shadow of the philosopher’s original vision. Nelson dreamed of […]

The chat sovereign

The very phrase “sovereign AI” evokes authoritarian regimes few would choose to inhabit. Yet “global artificial intelligence” conjures its own spectres: digital colonialism and other delights of a brave new world. Why, in AI development, both notions are largely meaningless and serve chiefly as tools of manipulation is the subject of this ForkLog essay by […]

Hyperbitcoinization at full throttle: who won’t survive the bear market

A Bridge in Need of a Hero

Bridging functions like quantum teleportation: the coin does not physically move anywhere—it is locked in the source network, while an equivalent amount appears in the destination network. For this to happen, both sides must be perfectly synchronized. Messaging comes to the rescue here, allowing the bridge to inform the destination network of events in the […]

Where to keep USDT ahead of a bear market: a comparison of platforms offering up to 14%

In 2025, bitcoin rose above $120,000. Some investors started buying altcoins, while more conservative ones looked to lock in profits in stablecoins. Simply holding fiat and stablecoins means forgoing additional returns. Contemporary services offer 2%–14% annual yields while waiting for the next bear market. We reviewed three categories of platforms for passive income: centralised exchanges […]

Freedom, the mother of order

Twentieth-century economic thought was defined by competing visions of an ideal society, each school offering its own blueprint. If Chicago School faith in the market as a universal problem-solver became the emblem of neoliberalism, the Austrian School charted a different course — philosophical, with an emphasis on individual freedom. Rooted in the ideas of Carl […]

By July 2025, the bitcoin reserves of more than 150 public corporations reached 917,853 BTC.

Stablecoins 2.0: the blockchains vying to power the next era

On 18 July 2025 President Donald Trump signed the federal GENIUS Act, ushering in full-fledged regulation of stablecoins in the United States. It marked a watershed for both America’s crypto market and the global digital-assets industry, as the world’s largest economy formally opened the door to the legal circulation of dollar stablecoins. Big players — […]

General Algorithm

Artificial intelligence has become an indispensable aide across fields that improve daily life—from automating web search to education and medicine. Yet, like any technology, it has another side. In recent months, engineers at leading corporations have resigned in protest at the use of their work in the MIC; musicians remove entire catalogues from streaming platforms […]

One token, a hundred traces

As digital assets and decentralised platforms proliferate, criminals are refining money-laundering schemes. One tactic is to split large sums into tiny transfers across many wallets. By 2025 the method has become widespread, taxing even seasoned blockchain analysts who try to identify the true sources of funds and the final cash-out venues. How do millions hide […]
