Hey Ethereum community! We last spoke August 5 – how you been? We’re here to talk about something fresh we’ve shipped.


Maybe you’ve already noticed, but we’ve got a new Developers section. For a long time, this content was a wall of links to products you might find helpful when building a dapp. We provided very little context and left a lot of connecting the dots up to you. We thought we could do better.

The new ethereum.org developer portal on different devices

Technical information about Ethereum is often fragmented, which can be a barrier for new developers who are trying to get their bearings.

Getting to grips with Ethereum development can feel like running uphill against a tide of outdated Stack Exchange threads and Medium articles. Or like having to wade through murky depths as you scour crypto Twitter for something useful.

So we set out to create an updatable repository for developer content that helps you:

  • Learn about Ethereum under the hood
  • Experiment with code
  • Understand the tech stack of dapps

And perhaps more importantly, we wanted it to be a place for community collaboration. Anyone can submit PRs to improve and maintain the content. We’ve already seen a fantastic willingness from the community to dive in and help us improve the docs which is awesome.

In other words, we wanted to create MDN for Ethereum. And use our pool of fantastic translators to help educate on a global scale.

We on the ethereum.org team don’t have all the answers but as a community we’re amazing at sharing wisdom. Now, you’ve got the place to do it.

How you can get involved

Like ethereum.org in general, the portal is open source and there are ways to help whether you’re technical or not.

  • Share your wisdom: we need experts to contribute information, code examples and more.
  • Submit tutorials: if you’ve written a tutorial to help Ethereum devs, add it to ethereum.org to extend its reach
  • Review content and PRs: expert on a topic? Help us make sure our content is as accurate as possible.
  • Provide feedback: any feedback on your experiences are really helpful for our team. Hit us up on Twitter or Discord.
  • Send us your ideas: everyone can help us design the best learning experiences possible.
  • Send to your friends: Got aspiring dev friends? Send ethereum.org/en/developers their way.

Contributors get credited wherever possible.

Right, time for a quick tour…

So what’s new?

Check out the site and let us know what you think over Twitter or on our Discord. But here’s a breakdown of what’s new right now:

The new ethereum.org developer documentation

Ethereum documentation that gives you the background you need to understand how Ethereum works and how to build on the web3 stack.

The new ethereum.org developer tutorial

You can now access community tutorials and write tutorials for ethereum.org to reach an enormous audience – we’ll be translating them to increase their reach.

The new ethereum.org developer portal links to frameworks

There are links to dapp development frameworks and other developer tools to help you get from an idea to a deployed dApp. And to support the fantastic community efforts out there.

This project is very much in the MVP phase. We wanted to get a base level of documentation out the door as a priority. In the near term we’ll be working on a series of improvements that:

  • better categorise the projects we list and add more filtering options, to help make choosing the right tool easier.
  • create more guided learning experiences, specifically for absolute beginners.
  • enrich the docs with helpful diagrams and videos (Know of any that would be great on one of our pages? Open a PR!).
  • get more contributors to help make the docs as helpful as possible.

A lot of these ideas came from usability tests we ran with some amazing members and potential members of the Ethereum community – huge thanks to them!.

In the long term, we want to include more features that show (as well as tell), inject more web3 into the portal itself, and develop incentives/rewards for contributors. If you have any ideas – we’d love your input.

Help needed right away

If you’ve got a way with words and you know your way around the Ethereum stack or the EVM, here’s a few open content issues you could help out with:


Thanks!

Although it’s still early days, we wouldn’t have got this far without some folks who have provided their insight and feedback along the way. A big thanks to these fine people who have helped us ship this portal in some way or another:

 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/terraform-labs-to-open-claims-portal-for-investors-on-march-31/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/terraform-labs-to-open-claims-portal-for-investors-on-march-31/#respond Sat, 29 Mar 2025 17:15:07 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/terraform-labs-to-open-claims-portal-for-investors-on-march-31/

Terraform Labs, the firm behind the collapsed Luna token and the TerraUSD stablecoin, will open a portal on March 31 to allow investors to file claims for crypto losses tied to the company’s downfall and subsequent bankruptcy.

The online system, operated by claims administrator Kroll, is part of the company’s court-supervised wind-down process. Investors have until April 30 at 11:59 p.m. ET to submit claims through claims.terra.money. Late submissions will not be considered, meaning those who miss the deadline forfeit their right to any recovery, according to a Medium post.

Eligible claims must be tied to specific cryptocurrencies listed in the case documents and held during the period surrounding the Terra ecosystem’s collapse. Notably, assets with less than $100 in on-chain liquidity and certain others—like Terra 2.0’s Luna—will not qualify.

Claimants must also submit proof of ownership. The preferred method is read-only API keys from exchanges, which the administrator considers more reliable than screenshots or manually uploaded documents. The post adds that those using manual evidence may face extended review periods or risk their claims being denied altogether.

Once filed, claims will be reviewed and verified. Initial decisions will be shared within 90 days after the deadline and approved claims will be eligible for pro rata distributions once processing concludes.

The Terra ecosystem collapsed in 2022, leading to the largest destruction of wealth in just three days in the cryptocurrency space’s history. LUNA’s market capitalization plunged from over $41 billion to $6 million in that period.

Terraform Labs has announced that the Crypto Loss Claims Portal will open on March 31, 2025, allowing affected investors to seek compensation for losses linked to the Terra USD (UST) token collapse.

The company, which is winding down operations following its bankruptcy, stated that creditors must submit claims by April 30, 2025, to be considered for potential recovery.

Eligibility Criteria & Post-Filing Procedures

According to a blog post, creditors must register on the Kroll-managed portal and provide proof of ownership to submit their requests. For holdings on the Terra ecosystem or supported networks, users must sign a transaction through it at no cost.

Those with assets on other platforms are encouraged to submit a read-only API key. Manual evidence, such as transaction logs and account statements, may also be accepted, but this could lead to extended review periods.

The plan administrator will determine the value of applications based on the eligible loss of crypto holdings. However, not all assets qualify. Cryptocurrencies with on-chain liquidity below $100 and specific holdings like Luna 2.0 on Terra 2.0 are excluded. Claims submitted with manual evidence may also be rejected if preferred verification methods are available but not used.

Once filed, the receivables will be reviewed by the Wind Down Trust. Within 90 days of the April 30 deadline, creditors will receive a portal notification detailing their submission status. They may then accept or dispute the findings, with approved amounts distributed on a pro-rata basis soon after.

UST Collapse and Legal Troubles

Terraform Labs’ stablecoin, UST, collapsed in May 2022 after its algorithmic peg to the U.S. dollar failed, resulting in an estimated $40 billion in losses across the crypto market.

The incident led to multiple lawsuits and investigations, and the company ultimately filed for bankruptcy in January 2024. In September of that year, a court approved the stablecoin issuer’s plan to wind down its operations as part of its bankruptcy proceedings.

It also reached a settlement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), agreeing to pay $4.47 billion in disgorgement and penalties. This followed an earlier ruling that found the firm and its co-founder, Do Kwon, guilty of fraud.

To fulfill these obligations, Terraform Labs will use assets held by Kwon, including PYTH tokens and other holdings. However, the settlement also requires payments to the SEC to be made only after creditor claims are addressed through the company’s liquidation process.

LINE, the popular messaging service in Asia, has launched its new Mini Dapps and Dapp Portal. This move could bring blockchain technology, often called “Web3,” to millions of everyday users. While Telegram showed how chat apps can host decentralized games and apps, LINE aims to make it easy for more people to discover, play, and trade digital assets without leaving the familiar LINE Messenger app.

What Is the Dapp Portal?

The Dapp Portal is a hub inside LINE Messenger where people can find and use “Mini Dapps.” These Mini Dapps are small web-based applications built on blockchain technology. Users don’t need to download separate apps or set up complicated crypto wallets.

LINE’s Kaia Wallet, part of the Dapp Portal, handles all the digital items for them. That means newcomers can try out Web3 services without worrying about private keys or long strings of letters and numbers. It’s a simple idea: if you can chat, you can explore these new blockchain tools.

Many people see Web3 as the future of the internet because it shifts control from big companies to regular users. LINE wants to be at the forefront of that shift. Offering Mini Dapps can attract creators, developers, and everyday folks who are curious about digital assets, such as tokens and NFTs (unique digital items).

This expansion also taps into the growing interest in blockchain across Asia, especially in places like Japan, Taiwan, and Thailand, where LINE is extremely popular.

Meet the First Mini Dapps

LINE has introduced 32 Mini Dapps that were built with its Kaia Wave program. One highlight is Bombie and Cattea, created by Pluto Studio, which previously attracted 43 million users in only six months. There’s also Captain Tsubasa -RIVAL, inspired by a famous soccer manga that’s loved in many Asian countries.

Another Dapp called Superz rewards users who keep fit, proving that blockchain apps aren’t limited to gaming or finance. Whether you’re into soccer, cuddly characters, or healthy living, there’s likely a Dapp that sparks your interest.

Exploring Dapp Portal Inside LINE Messenger

Getting started with the Dapp Portal is easy—just open its Official Account in LINE Messenger, and you’re good to go. When you land on the “Home” screen, you’ll find a quick overview of your rewards and any missions waiting for you. These missions might have you play a short game, test out a new feature, or grab a unique NFT. Completing them earns you KAIA coins, Dapp points, or even more NFTs, making it a fun and hassle-free way for anyone—especially newcomers—to step into the world of blockchain.

KAIA coins are tokens you can earn directly, though you’ll need to set up and link your Kaia Wallet to claim them. Dapp points come from participating in tasks, and you can later swap them for coins. Some missions also offer NFTs as rewards, giving you unique digital collectibles to keep, trade, or show off.

Play, Trade, and Market

  • Play Tab: Explore a wide range of Mini Dapps by category or popularity. Each Dapp has its own page with details on missions and any special items it offers.

  • Trade Section: Swap, buy, and cash out digital assets. You can quickly convert KAIA coins or trade other tokens. Transaction fees and steps are clearly explained, so you know exactly what to expect.

  • Market Section: Browse, buy, or sell NFTs from various Dapps. You can compare prices at a glance and put your unwanted NFTs up for sale in just a few taps.

My Page serves as your personal dashboard for all things digital in the Dapp Portal. It displays your entire lineup of tokens and NFTs, along with your balances of KAIA coins, Dapp points, and any other rewards you’ve accumulated.

From here, you can organize your favorites, keep track of everything you’ve collected, and decide what to do next. Whether you’re a first-time user or a veteran NFT collector, My Page simplifies how you manage and enjoy your blockchain assets.

How Does This Compare to Telegram?

Telegram proved that messenger-based Web3 services can work by hosting several popular crypto games and mini apps on the TON blockchain.

What sets LINE apart is its deep local presence and the trust it’s built over the years. Many people in Japan, Taiwan, and Thailand rely on LINE for their day-to-day communication and even payments. That kind of loyalty might make all the difference when it comes to introducing new blockchain features.

LINE’s focus on an all-in-one platform may also draw in more developers, who can use the Kaia Wave program and software tools to create their own Mini Dapps.

Why Asia Is Eager for Web3

Asia has a reputation for adopting new tech quickly. In Japan and South Korea, for example, blockchain and NFTs have gained popularity in gaming, art, and entertainment. Governments in the region often support or regulate these industries in ways that let them innovate.

LINE’s local expertise lets it design features that fit these cultures, so it’s better positioned to meet user needs than a global app that doesn’t understand local habits. If LINE’s Web3 features become mainstream in its core markets, that success could spread to other regions and help push wider adoption of decentralized apps.

A Glimpse into the Future

As LINE adds more Mini Dapps, it may face some challenges. Scaling up to handle millions of transactions might be tough, and regulators keep updating the rules around crypto in different countries. Still, there’s a huge opportunity here.

Services like NFT trading, DeFi (decentralized finance), and even digital identity management could find a home in a familiar messaging environment. LINE’s plan to introduce over 1,000 Mini Dapps by 2025 shows it’s serious about staying ahead of the curve. If everything goes well, LINE may become a leading example of how messaging platforms can drive Web3 adoption.
