I'm Colin Harris, L1s Analyst and Web3 Reporter for the United States. My day-to-day involves diving into the fundamental layers of the ecosystem, specializing in Layer 1 (L1s) networks. I have been covering how these new digital technologies are built for quite some time now, from scalability updates to the decentralization of finance. My approach is purely analytical and informative; I like to break down complex technology so that the real context can be understood, without beating around the bush and always relying on verified data. I am also passionate about keeping up with Web3 and how these infrastructures are changing the way we interact on the internet. I also keep an eye on the markets, analyzing how the technical development of networks impacts global capital flows. Through my reporting, I seek to offer a human yet technical perspective, always prioritizing accuracy so that you are aware of what really matters at the heart of blockchain.
