This article demystifies polynomial commitment schemes and explains how KZG lets provers commit to polynomials and later prove evaluations with tiny, verifiable proofs. It then shows how zk-rollups, Proto-Danksharding (EIP-4844), and PeerDAS all rely on these commitments and erasure coding to scale Ethereum’s data availability and proof systems efficiently.

The crash of October 10, 2025 was a stress test that exposed what weaknesses still remain in the crypto industry. The wipeout also validated some of the principles that many of us have been pushing for years. Centralized exchanges showed signs of strain as cascading liquidations raced ahead of human decision-making. Users have very little insight or control over how any of the decisions get made.

Ethereum (ETH) has been retracing sharply, and its approach toward multi-year support zones has prompted renewed activity among larger holders. The token has been trading inside a very tight long-term structure between $1090 and $4900, and the market is once again reacting to the lower boundary. Interest has been shifting toward Mutuum Finance (MUTM), a new crypto coin gaining notable traction among investors scanning the market for the best crypto to invest in. Phase 6 of the presale is currently 95% sold and the token price stands at $0.035. The raise has reached $19,150,000 since launch, while total holders now stand at 18,330.
