W 2024 roku darmowe dzwonki na telefon są nie tylko sposobem na spersonalizowanie urządzenia, ale też na wyrażenie siebie poprzez muzykę i dźwięki. Z roku na rok trend ten się rozwija, a najnowsze hity dźwiękowe zdobywają popularność, nie tylko wśród młodszych, ale także starszych użytkowników smartfonów. W tym artykule przedstawiamy najświeższe trendy wśród darmowych dzwonek na telefon i odpowiadamy na pytanie – które dźwięki rządzą w 2024 roku? 1. Klasyczne melodie w nowoczesnej odsłonie Wielu użytkowników szuka dzwonków, które są przyjemne i dobrze brzmiące, a jednocześnie nawiązują do klasycznych, rozpoznawalnych motywów muzycznych. W 2024 roku jednym z popularniejszych trendów są reinterpretacje znanych utworów w formie krótkich dzwonków. To sposób, by przypomnieć sobie największe hity sprzed lat, które teraz zostały odświeżone i wzbogacone o nowoczesne brzmienia. Melodie takie jak „Yesterday” Beatlesów czy „Bohemian Rhapsody” zespołu Queen są dostępne w wersjach akustycznych i instrumentalnych, co pozwala cieszyć się klasycznymi motywami w lekkość. Popularne są też dzwonki nawiązujące do muzyki klasycznej – skrócone wersje utworów Chopina czy Bacha zyskują coraz większą popularność, zwłaszcza wśród użytkowników poszukujących eleganckich i ponadczasowych brzmień. 2. Trend dźwięków ambientowych i relaksacyjnych Dźwięki inspirowane naturą to kolejny trend, który dominuje wśród darmowych dzwonków na 2024 rok. Słuchacze coraz częściej sięgają po dzwonki, które przypominają szum fal, śpiew ptaków, odgłosy deszczu czy szelest liści. Dźwięki te mają relaksujące właściwości, co sprawia, że każdy dzwonek staje się przyjemnym momentem w ciągu dnia, nawet jeśli przerywa ważne zajęcie. Coraz więcej użytkowników wybiera dzwonki o delikatnym, subtelniejszym charakterze, które są nie tylko miłe dla ucha, ale też mniej inwazyjne w codziennym życiu. W 2024 roku można zauważyć wzrost zainteresowania dźwiękami ambientowymi, które wpływają na nastrój i wprowadzają atmosferę spokoju, niezależnie od sytuacji. 3. Hity pop i EDM w wersjach na telefon Muzyka popularna nie wychodzi z mody i to również dotyczy dzwonków na telefon. W 2024 roku dominują najnowsze hity z list przebojów, które są dostępne w skróconych, darmowych wersjach jako dzwonki. Wybierane są utwory od największych gwiazd sceny muzycznej, takich jak Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, The Weeknd czy Ed Sheeran. Popularne są również fragmenty piosenek inspirowanych muzyką EDM, które swoim energicznym rytmem nadają się na idealny dzwonek. Co więcej, zyskują na popularności także remiksy znanych utworów w wersjach przyjaznych dla ucha i dostosowanych do formatu dzwonka. Dzięki temu użytkownicy mogą wybrać wersję swojego ulubionego utworu, która nie jest zbyt głośna i uciążliwa dla innych, a jednocześnie odzwierciedla ich gust muzyczny. 4. Efekty dźwiękowe inspirowane kulturą masową 2024 rok przynosi także bogactwo dzwonków inspirowanych kinem, grami i serialami. Dźwięki z popularnych seriali, takich jak „Stranger Things”, czy gier, takich jak „The Legend of Zelda” czy „Super Mario”, są w czołówce wyborów użytkowników. Krótkie efekty dźwiękowe, na przykład charakterystyczne odgłosy z gier retro, stały się jednym z popularniejszych sposobów na wyróżnienie swojego telefonu. Dzwonki inspirowane kulturą masową trafiają do odbiorców, którzy chcą nawiązać do swoich pasji i dzielić się swoimi zainteresowaniami. Tego typu efekty dźwiękowe są idealnym wyborem dla tych, którzy chcą zaskoczyć innych i wyróżnić się czymś oryginalnym. 5. Dźwięki personalizowane i stworzone samodzielnie W 2024 roku, dzięki łatwo dostępnemu oprogramowaniu do edycji dźwięku, wielu użytkowników decyduje się na tworzenie własnych, spersonalizowanych dzwonków. Dzięki temu mogą w pełni dostosować dźwięk telefonu do swoich preferencji – od fragmentów ulubionych piosenek po nagrania dźwięków bliskich im osób. To jeden z ciekawszych trendów tego roku, który pozwala na zupełnie indywidualne podejście do dzwonka. Samodzielnie stworzone dzwonki stają się sposobem na wyrażenie siebie i pozostawienie małego, osobistego akcentu w codziennych sytuacjach. Dla osób, które lubią kreatywność, możliwość edycji dźwięku i stworzenia własnego utworu na telefon jest prawdziwą frajdą. Podsumowanie Rok 2024 przynosi różnorodność i kreatywność w świecie darmowych dzwonków na telefon. Klasyczne melodie, relaksacyjne dźwięki, najnowsze popowe hity, efekty inspirowane kulturą masową i samodzielnie stworzone dźwięki – wszystkie te kategorie cieszą się dużym zainteresowaniem. Wybór odpowiedniego dzwonka pozwala użytkownikowi wyrazić swoje zainteresowania, upodobania muzyczne i indywidualny styl. W tym roku trend wyraźnie skłania się ku większej personalizacji oraz kreatywności, dzięki czemu każdy może znaleźć coś idealnie dopasowanego do swoich potrzeb i nastroju.

An Overview of Liquid Staking Protocols on Polkadot As more blockchains adopt the Proof of Stake (PoS) mechanism, the demand for liquid staking solutions is on the rise, offering users more flexible staking options. As of September 10, the total value locked (TVL) in the liquid staking market has surpassed $39 billion. Beyond Ethereum, liquid staking adoption across other public blockchains remains relatively low, signaling ample room for expansion. Certain chains with attractive staking yields are also worth considering, particularly Polkadot. Data from the Polkadot Staking Dashboard reveals that Polkadot (DOT) currently boasts a staking ratio of 58.98%, with an annualized yield of 16.7% (14.81% after commission). Polkadot’s staking rewards are derived from inflationary issuance, with DOT tokens minted annually. This high inflation rate poses a disadvantage for token holders who do not stake their assets. Presently, Polkadot has an annual inflation rate of 10%. Moreover, since native DOT staking involves a 28-day unbonding period, the growing interest in liquid staking solutions is understandable. Liquid staking enables users to deposit native tokens (e.g., DOT) into a liquid staking protocol, receiving liquid staking tokens (LSTs) in return. These LSTs accumulate rewards and can be traded back into native tokens like DOT at any time, offering both liquidity and yield. Polkadot has seen the rise of several liquid staking projects. This article will focus on Bifrost, Acala, and Stellaswap, analyzing these three Polkadot-based liquid staking protocols in terms of redemption mechanisms, node selection, slash protection measures, and DeFi integration. Bifrost Bifrost is a liquid staking appchain tailored for all blockchains, utilizing decentralized cross-chain interoperability to empower users to earn staking rewards and DeFi yields with flexibility, liquidity, and high security across multiple chains. As the largest DOT liquid staking protocol to date, Bifrost boasts more than 8.5 million DOT staked. Its liquid staking token, vDOT, commands over 60% of the market share, positioning Bifrost as the undisputed leader in Polkadot’s liquid staking ecosystem. Redemption Mechanism In contrast to traditional liquid staking products, Bifrost offers two fast-unlock options: the Stable Pool and a matching mechanism (peer-to-peer matching). Stable Pool Swap: Bifrost’s vDOT-DOT stable pool allows for real-time swaps between vDOT and DOT. This model, inspired by Curve’s stablecoin swap, ensures minimal slippage and price stability, even for large-scale trading volume. Matching Mechanism: When users enter a queue to redeem vDOT, the system automatically matches them with other users looking to mint vTokens. For instance, if you submit a request to unlock 100 vDOT but no DOT is available at that moment, and 2 hours later, another user deposits 2,000 DOT, the Bifrost system will allocate a portion of this new deposit to meet your unlock request. This process eliminates the unstaking time, significantly improving liquidity. Node Selection and Slash Protection Bifrost protocol operates entirely in a decentralized way, eliminating custodial risks. It also employs an algorithm that automatically filters and selects reliable, diversified validators to reduce centralization risks within the Polkadot network. Moreover, Bifrost offers Slash protection via the BNC Treasury. In case of a Slash event, the treasury covers the losses first, ensuring that users’ earnings remain unaffected. DeFi Use Cases Beyond Bifrost’s native liquidity pools, vDOT can be deployed for mining and liquidity rewards on decentralized exchanges (DEXs) such as Hydration, Stellaswap, Zenlink and Beamswap. Bifrost has also launched the “Loop Stake” product, a leveraged staking tool for assets within the Polkadot ecosystem. Loop Stake enables users to set and manage leverage levels based on their risk tolerance. Although leveraged staking carries inherent risks, it significantly enhances capital efficiency. Governance Rights Inheritance vDOT is the only liquid staking token that retains governance rights, enabling users to participate in OpenGov governance directly with their vDOT. This ensures that governance power remains firmly in the hands of staking users, embodying Bifrost’s commitment to neutrality in governance. Acala Acala is one of the Largest polkadot staking platform and positioned itself as the DeFi hub of Polkadot and was the first blockchain to introduce liquid staking for Polkadot network. Its wide-ranging services include the over-collateralized stablecoin aUSD, an automated market maker (AMM)-based DEX, and the liquid staking token LDOT. All of these products and assets seamlessly integrate with other parachains in the Polkadot ecosystem and DApps built on Acala’s EVM+ platform. Redemption Mechanism LDOT functions as a native LST within the Acala network. When users stake DOT through Acala’s Staking module, the protocol mints LDOT in equivalent value, based on the real-time exchange rate, and credits it to the user. Users can redeem their LDOT for DOT at any time. Normally, converting LDOT back into DOT requires a 28-day waiting period. However, to ensure more flexible and immediate liquidity, Acala holds a reserve of DOT that isn’t staked on-chain, allowing users to exchange LDOT for DOT instantly. A 1% fee applies to fast redemptions, and the fast redemption queue is not visible to users. Node Selection and Slash Protection Acala’s staking validators are selected through a joint decision by the Liquid Staking Council. LDOT, as the governance token of the Acala Liquid Staking Council, allows holders to vote on validator selections for the staking pool. This can create a positive feedback loop, though it also opens the possibility of validator bribery. Acala has outlined six criteria for selecting staking validators, one of which is particularly noteworthy: if a Slash event occurs, the validator must bear the losses independently. As a result, staking users do not need to worry about Slash risks from validator downtime, as partner validators are fully responsible for covering any losses. DeFi Use Cases As a native asset on the Acala network, LDOT can be used as collateral for borrowing the stablecoin aUSD. Users can stake LDOT to borrow aUSD, giving them access to liquid funds. Acala’s DEX has also launched an LDOT-aUSD trading pool and an LP incentive pool. Users can add liquidity to the LDOT-aUSD pool and earn ACA rewards provided by Acala. StellaSwap StellaSwap is among the first automated market makers (AMM) and decentralized exchanges (DEX) on the Moonbeam network. Its primary aim is to build broader network effects to address the liquidity challenges facing the DeFi sector. Following the discontinuation of Lido’s stDOT, the StellaSwap team took over its operations. Currently, stDOT can only be acquired by staking DOT.xc on Moonbeam. Users can connect via Metamask or any EVM-compatible wallet, but it is not directly compatible with Polkadot’s native chain or parachains. To stake, DOT assets must be transferred to Moonbeam using XCM. Redemption Mechanism Redeeming stDOT for DOT.xc directly on StellaSwap involves a 28-day unbonding period. Alternatively, users can exchange stDOT for DOT.xc instantly through StellaSwap’s Pulsar V3 liquidity pool, but this comes with the risk of stDOT trading below its intrinsic value, preventing arbitrage opportunities and risk-free liquidity provision. Node Selection and Slash Protection stDOT’s nomination strategy is optimized to select the top validators in the ecosystem to maintain a stable APR. According to StellaSwap’s official documentation, the validator selection is based on six key factors: Era Points, APR, the amount staked, the list of nominators, any Slash events, and payout rates. However, a detailed list of validators is not publicly available. DeFi Use Cases As a DEX, StellaSwap offers a DOT-stDOT liquidity mining pool, with the current APR hovering around 43%. However, since stDOT is only active on the Moonbeam chain, its use cases are somewhat limited. Conclusion At present, a staggering 874 million DOT tokens are staked on Polkadot, with a staking rate of 58.66%. Yet, only 1.7% of that amount comes from liquid staking platforms, while Ethereum’s liquid staking penetration rate surpasses 30%. This signals substantial growth opportunities for liquid staking tokens (LST) within the Polkadot ecosystem. After evaluating these three liquid staking platforms, my top recommendation is Bifrost. This is due not only to its lower redemption fees and the ability to retain governance voting rights but also, most importantly, to its fast unlocking mechanism.   Bifrost Acala Stellaswap DOT Minted 8,516,071 5,522,413 1,010,000 LST Name vDOT LDOT stDOT Redemption Time 0 - 28 days 28 days 28 days Redemption Mechanism Instant Exchange + Matching Mechanism Instant Exchange Instant Exchange DeFi Use Cases Liquidity Pools, Collateralized Lending, Seamless Cross-Chain Integration Liquidity Pools, Collateralized Lending Liquidity Pools Governance Rights Yes No No   Additionally, since Acala and Stellaswap are involved in various other DeFi activities, their attention may be split between different operations. Bifrost, with its exclusive focus on liquid staking, demonstrates a more concentrated effort on both its technical infrastructure and commercial strategy.

Cexlbit Market View: How Cryptocurrency Scale, On-Chain Reputation, and Payments Shape Emerging Markets? Cexlbit is a leading cryptocurrency exchange known for its variety of trading options and quick execution speeds. The platform offers multilingual support and 24/7 customer service. Additionally, Cexlbit facilitates mining and provides superior liquidity quotes, guaranteeing an optimal trading experience for users. Cexlbit recent market view shows that, The world's largest companies are built on network effect-driven markets. Giants like Amazon (market cap of $1.9 trillion), Meta (market cap of $1.2 trillion), and Tencent (market cap of $4.59 trillion) aggregate supply and demand, increasing their network value as they control more of these elements. The same principle applies in the cryptocurrency realm. High-value networks such as Bitcoin (market cap of $1.4 trillion), Solana (market cap of $79 billion), and Ethereum (market cap of $460 billion) consist of multilateral networks of developers, users, and network operators that grow more valuable as they scale. Years of market venture investing have revealed that some markets, which could help supply and demand sides find each other and provide significant utility, do not currently exist due to the limitations of their established systems. We've witnessed how new technologies create opportunities for emerging markets to rise and thrive. Cryptocurrency markets offer some of the most exciting opportunities. By leveraging crypto’s unique capabilities, specifically token-based incentive scaling and on-chain composability, entrepreneurs can create new markets to meet previously unaddressed needs. This represents a leapfrog innovation opportunity rather than merely incremental improvements. For instance, the internet market evolved from the list era of the 1990s (exemplified by Craigslist) to the on-demand app era of “Uber for X” (2009-2015) and the managed marketplace era of the mid-2010s. Each phase was a response to new technologies or emerging market demands. In the list era, the internet allowed individuals to post and find listings online. The on-demand era, coinciding with the rise of smartphones, enabled instant access to various services using real-time location information. Managed marketplaces emerged to meet higher trust demands in complex markets as opportunities in simpler markets diminished. However, each era also presented challenges that hindered innovation. In the list era, the lack of trust and standardization limited growth. The on-demand era required massive capital to scale markets for near-instant services. Managed marketplaces faced high operational costs associated with establishing transaction trust, affecting their viability. These challenges persist in Web2 markets, obstructing innovation. Two key issues, scalability and trust, remain significant barriers that cryptocurrency can uniquely address. One of crypto’s strengths is its ability to scale. Crypto incentives (in the form of tokens) have proven to be powerful tools for driving growth. Compared to Web2 markets, cryptocurrency can leverage token financial incentives to scale markets sequentially, starting with the supply side and later expanding demand. For example, decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePINs) like Helium and Hivemapper incentivize participants with tokens to kickstart their supply side, with the underlying network’s revenue catching up later. Token incentives can be applied to various types of markets that currently do not exist due to high startup costs. Imagine ultra-local social networks requiring dense user engagement (similar to Citizen, but broader in scope) or new dating apps. In the AI sector, developers have used token incentives to create new markets with no precedent in the Web2 world. Networks like Vana and Rainfall allow users to contribute data for AI training and earn token rewards, making it possible to aggregate long-tail, private, hard-to-access datasets that would otherwise be nearly impossible without smart incentives. On-Chain Reputation and History One challenge in Web2 markets is the repetitive effort required to establish trust in isolated markets. For example, Uber conducts background checks on all new drivers, but when the same driver signs up with Lyft, another background check is performed because the platforms are isolated. Cryptocurrency can serve as a portable reputation system. Instead of each application conducting separate background checks, what if this information was stored on-chain and moved with the driver across any market they joined? Additionally, other information about providers' history, such as reliability and quality, could be represented on-chain, allowing markets to combine and utilize a global trust repository. Such a system could eliminate the need for different managed marketplaces to implement their capital-intensive processes. In Web2, many managed marketplaces offer excellent user experiences but are ultimately unviable as business models due to high operational costs. A global on-chain reputation system could fundamentally change their cost structure. The Farcaster ecosystem offers a microcosm of this idea. This social media protocol stores posts, likes, follows, and profiles on a decentralized hub network. When users install different applications built on this protocol, their social data moves with them. We already see interface-less markets emerging on Farcaster. One example is Bountycaster, where users can post and discover bounties across any Farcaster client, leveraging the rich reputation data on the Farcaster network. This portable social data can foster various new markets within the Farcaster ecosystem, from smart contract auditing markets to expert markets utilizing Farcaster’s connection graph and reputation. Facilitating payments is a core component of modern marketplaces, but supporting cross-border payments in Web2 requires internationalization across local systems. This is especially critical for digital markets, as customers and suppliers are often geographically distant. For instance, over 80% of YouTube users are outside the US. To support local currency payments in each region, platforms must integrate with international payment gateways, which often leaves some peripheral regions underserved, particularly for resource-constrained or nascent markets that cannot internationalize. Cryptocurrency operates internationally from the outset, enabling transactions between anyone with a crypto wallet. This allows resource-constrained markets to have a global impact from the start. For example, I recently bought an NFT from an on-chain data community called bytexplorers, allowing me to pose data-related questions to an analyst community. Analysts who answer correctly receive token rewards, facilitating seamless payments and global participation.
