Decentralization is often framed as the opposite of institutions. Is this really true? In this week’s article, we discuss what decentralization means for institutions: distributing trust instead of depending on a single operator.

We’re live on Arc! Arc mainnet RPC is now available with custom plans for your needs: ✅ Infrastructure across 3 continents ✅ Institutional-grade deployments ✅ Flexible access limits and node configurations ✅ Low-latency connectivity Explore the Arc RPC on node101 👇

A future in which stable dollars offer global access and higher yields raises a difficult question for every country: Why would people keep their savings in local-currency deposits? For Türkiye, this is not a distant scenario. It is a question of monetary sovereignty.

A future where anyone, anywhere, can access the US dollar from a phone sounds democratic. Stable dollars on Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche and Tron look like a new layer of financial freedom. But this new American dream is more centralized than it appears.

node101 is now validating Espresso Mainnet! ☕️ As a Türkiye-based infrastructure provider operating across 101+ networks, we’re excited to bring our validator experience and independent infrastructure to Espresso. Glad to contribute to a more resilient network.

Yesterday, our co-founder @gergin_101 took the main stage at @ethbelgrade ! He shared our vision for blockchain-based CBDCs, their role in a stablecoin-driven future, and what comes next. Big thanks to the ETHBelgrade team for an amazing event 🥰

AI surged, but blockchain developers didn’t simply disappear. GitHub data tells a messier story than the familiar “developers left crypto for AI” narrative. We looked at both trends to understand what actually changed.

We’re proud to announce that node101 has received a 15M STRK delegation from Starkware. Under Starkware's new delegation program, the validator set is becoming significantly more selective, prioritizing: ✅ reliability, ✅ availability, ✅ and long-term partnership. We’re excited to be among the 31 validators trusted to support Starknet’s next phase.

State of ZK 2026 Is ZK still growing, or are developers quietly moving elsewhere? We analyzed 29k ZK repositories and 33k developers to see what is actually happening across the ecosystem in 2026. The answer is more interesting than a simple “up” or “down.” 🧵

They know your price. A camera records where your car goes. A scoring system turns behavior into a risk signal. An institution turns that signal into an interest rate, an insurance premium, or a rejected application. Our new article follows that chain. 🧵

node101 Shared Cluster is live! Now you can get access to 10+ blockchains at once with a single package 📦 Reliable infra; for more blockchains, for a lower price 🥳 And we are constantly increasing number of networks we support 👀 Discover our options 👇

Latest developer news just dropped 🗞️ blockchaindeveloper[.]report is now tracking the entire blockchain ecosystem, and found 1 million repositories so far! Read where the developer ecosystem is heading 👇 Spoiler: Things may be brighter than you would expect 🥳

Can global Web3 giants be turned into leverage to grow local ecosystems instead of crushing them? In our latest opinion piece, we explore how smart protectionism and an In-Country Value (TICV) model can build local tech champions. 🧵👇

Happy birthday to us 🥳🥳 node101 is 4 years old! It has been a great journey so far, and we’re excited for what’s ahead 🧿 Thank you everyone for the good wishes 😍

A blockchain never exists in a single present. When a transaction is submitted: • one validator has already seen it. • another validator hasn’t. • one RPC node already serves the updated state. • an indexer is still processing the previous block. So… which one is “now”?

Behind the scenes 🫪

We are live on @RobinhoodApp 🎉 Robinhood Chain RPC is now available on node101 for all our customers, in many different locations 📍 Try it out in our website 👇 node101.io

RPC performance should be measured! We’ll be publishing our public RPC performance comparison dashboard soon 🥳 This is for us to give you a better service, and for you to verify each claim we make. Here’s a quick sneak peek 👀

A currency doesn't have to die to lose. It just has to become the money you're paid in, not the money you believe in. In our new piece, "The New Dollarization," we break down how stablecoins are quietly hollowing out monetary sovereignty. 🧵

With infrastructure spread across 3 continents, node101 RPC is available on 70+ Cosmos chains 🪐 From CosmosHub to Cronos, Injective to Sei; 101RPC is ready to provide you any RPC across the stack, either mainnet or testnet, dedicated or shared. Let’s explore Cosmos together 🔭

Not everyone likes the terminal command line (or, no one?), but for sure everyone likes a nice UI 😎 Our new release of dashboard101 will make tracking your RPCs fun. Yes, fun. For real. Try our RPCs to get your place in the dashboard ⤵

Tokens should serve blockchains, not the other way around! This week’s article is on tokens, and whether if they actually answer our needs 🫢 We’ll discuss why token designs were oversimplified at the time, and how does this still effect our systems today. Have a fun read!👇

Good infrastructure is invisible. That is what we offer with node101 RPC: ▸ stable performance, ▸ dependable uptime, ▸ no operational headaches. We are here 24/7, you will rarely need to reach us. 🙂🙃

Blockchain history is often described as a competition between architectures. • Bitcoin vs Ethereum • Layer 1s vs Layer 2s • Monolithic vs Modular Yet many of these systems emerged from the limitations of the ones that came before them.

node101 olarak İstanbul Blockchain Week’teyiz! 🚀 @Trioblockchain ve @chainalysis ile gerçekleştirdiğimiz panelde, blokzincir teknolojilerinin kurumsal ölçekte benimsenmesi için kritik öneme sahip altyapı, risk yönetimi ve uyum süreçlerini ele aldık.

Just met with @knidosxyz in @proofoftalk Paris! Come by our booth if you are around, we are sure we can make your product better too with ZK 😏

Trading agents should be verifiable! Agentic trading is heavily explored in blockchain, but there is no secure way of proving the performance or correctness of their execution. Basically: You trust them with your money, but you have no information about their actions.

🌀Agentic trades are now provable on-chain! Using @aztecnetwork for Noir, @ZKVProtocol for ZKP verification, @primus_labs for zkTLS, we built a zero-knowledge proving system for @knidosxyz trading agent. How did we achieve proving Knidos AI with ZK? 👇

node101, IBW 2026 Community Stage'de! 🚀 Kurucu ortağımız @gergin_101 'in katılımıyla gerçekleşecek oturumda, kripto hizmet sağlayıcılığının arkasındaki en kritik güvenlik katmanlarını, RPC veri sağlayıcılığını ve kurumsal uyum süreçlerini ele alacağız.

Let's meet in real life! node101 is joining 2 events in the east & west capitals of Europe this week! It seems that everyone thinks june 2nd was the perfect date for their event, which one do you prefer?

The Hidden Peril: Do you really verify ZKPs on blockchains? This week, we discuss the dangers of ZKP verification in blockchains, and how this may have drastic results in the long run. The problem is neither about costs, nor the soundness; The very consensus behind may be at risk.

Did you hear the news? Turkish Presidency Communications Directorate is now using IPFS and Ethereum to cryptographically secure their institutional archive 🥳🇹🇷 Don’t you know how you can use this data? Use node101’s Ethereum RPCs to trustlessly access the archive and secure your connection to blockchain. Let’s build something unordinary 🌀

Trying to integrate Ethereum to your agent? Coding on Ethereum can be made so easy with AI, but for sure not its RPCs 🙃 node101 helps you find the right RPC option specialized for your agent.

FTX was designed as a risky monoblog organization because it controlled the platform, custody, and data simultaneously. Their failure dragged the whole ecosystem down with it. Türkiye must avoid this systemic risk by enforcing a "Three Pillars" model: Platform, Custodian, and Data Provider. Organic separation is mandatory.

Blockchain Regulation Journal April 2026 is out. Key signals this month: 🇬🇧 FCA opens CP26/13 crypto perimeter guidance consultation 🇬🇧 First multi agency crackdown on illegal P2P crypto trading in London 🇬🇧 Draft amendments to Cryptoassets Regulations 2026, stablecoin payments in focus 🇪🇺 Eurosystem payments strategy puts tokenisation, tokenised deposits and stablecoins on the map 🇪🇺 ECB macroprudential work highlights euro stablecoin risk channels 🇺🇸 SEC draws broker dealer expectations for certain on chain user interfaces 🇺🇸 FDIC advances prudential standards for permitted payment stablecoin issuers 🇦🇺 ASIC roadmap for digital assets law reform implementation 🇦🇪 VARA framework for retail crypto derivatives 🇰🇪 Kenya launches public participation on VASP rules

Digital sovereignty is usually framed as control over where systems run, who operates them, etc. and this framing works for traditional systems. But blockchains don’t belong to anyone. They run globally and regardless of where they are accessed from. So, ownership and participation start to diverge from what’s known.

Great vibes in @DaysBlockchain 🌀

From token delegations to product development; many trust node101 in blockchain. The trust is mutual, and we will continue doing everything we can to connect Turkiye to the international blockchain ecosystem. Let's build the unordinary together.
