Bitcoin has seen a significant strengthening of its mining network in recent months. The network's hash rate has almost completely recovered from China's crackdown on mining. The hash rate is a measure of the total computational power that contributes to mining Bitcoin. A hash is a fixed-length alphanumeric code that miners have to solve to process BTC transactions. We measure the hash rate in exahashes (1 quintillion hashes) per second (EH/s). The hash rate is also a rough measure of…

Why the Cryptomarket Needs Chainlink Oracles Now
There’s been a lot of talk surrounding the capabilities and functionality of Chainlink lately. This revolutionary protocol seeks to eliminate many of the most common issues encountered by oracles today. Consequently, Chainlink has the potential to revolutionize the sector. What are Oracles? Oracles are third-party sensors that can trigger smart contracts. Importantly, these sensors do not live on the blockchain. Instead, they function as intermediaries. Specifically, oracles translate off-chain data to smart contracts on the blockchain and back again. For…
