<h6>Infrastructure</h6> 
From this <a href="https://www.binance.com/en/research/analysis/industry-map-mar24" target="_blank" rel="noopener">research</a>, we found five key areas of innovation: 
<ul> 
 <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Scalability and Fairness.</li> 
 <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Data usability and Tooling.</li> 
 <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Security and privacy.</li> 
 <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Cloud computing.</li> 
 <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Connectivity.</li> 
</ul> 
<h6>Scalability and Fairness</h6> 
<a href="https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/?s=layer+1+blockchains" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Layer-1 (L1) blockchains</a> are in use as more people board into the crypto space. There is a need to increase transaction speed and fairness in the distribution of rewards by using efficient methods. Some protocols exist to handle this. 
<h6>Zero Knowledge (Zk) rollups</h6> 
Zk rollups bundle transactions off-chain and confirm transactions with zero-knowledge proof. Examples are <a href="https://zksync.io/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ZkSync</a>, <a href="https://scroll.io/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Scroll</a>, and <a href="https://linea.build/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Linea</a>. 
<h6>Optimistic rollups</h6> 
<a href="https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/scaling/optimistic-rollups/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Optimistic rollups</a> work based on assumptions that transactions are valid. Arbitrum, <a href="https://www.base.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Base</a>, and <a href="https://docs.blast.io/about-blast" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Blast</a> are in this category. There’s more to it. 
To validate transactions, some validators benefit by manipulating the inclusion or order of transactions within the Blockchain. Now, that’s a whole lot. But here’s the icebreaker. MEV solution prevents it and stops validators from acting by using <a href="https://www.flashbots.net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Flashbots</a>, <a href="https://x.com/skipprotocol?s=11" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Skip protocol</a>, and <a href="https://x.com/jito_labs?s=11" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jito Lab</a>. 
For the second area of innovation, we have Data usability and Tooling. 
<h6>Data usability and Tooling</h6> 
For developers working with blockchain networks, data usability, and tools are essential to their work description. Currently, it isn’t easy to access and use blockchain data. The only way forward is by improving data query, indexing services, and smart contract automation.&nbsp; 
There are tools for data query. They are Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Providers. <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/learn/crypto-rpc-best-rpc-providers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RPC</a> provider reduces the hassle of getting blockchain data through traditional means. With RPC node providers, you can interact with blockchains and carry out any blockchain activity. Such tools include <a href="https://www.alchemy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alchemy</a>, <a href="https://www.infura.io/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Infura</a>, and <a href="https://getblock.io/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Getblock</a>. 
Based on Data Indexing, we have <a href="https://thegraph.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Graph</a>, <a href="https://www.0xscope.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">0xScope</a>, and <a href="https://www.covalenthq.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Covalent</a>. 
Finally, based on Smart contract automation, we have the <a href="https://gelato.network/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gelato network</a> and <a href="https://www.openzeppelin.com/contracts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">OpenZeppelin</a>. 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"> 
 As we head into a new week, let’s recap the last few days. The Weekly Market Highlights is an initiative from the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Binance?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Binance</a> Research team to round up the week, summarizing key market events and views from the team.

<h6>Security and Privacy</h6> 
Recently, there have been so many reports of wallet hacks. There are specific tools and safer wallets for your usage as a crypto enthusiast. 
For privacy solutions, we have some protocols that add to the security of a blockchain network. they include <a href="https://immunefi.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ImmuneFi</a> and<a href="https://revoke.cash/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Revoke Cash</a>, <a href="https://forta.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Forta</a>. 
For a safer wallet, specific crypto wallets need two or more private keys for transactions, posing to be much more secure than your regular wallets. They include <a href="https://safe.global/wallet" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Safe</a>, <a href="https://www.m-safe.io/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Msafe</a>, and <a href="https://squads.so/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Squads</a>. 
Do you know that some projects have your privacy as their primary concern? <a href="https://anoma.net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anoma</a>, <a href="https://www.ata.network/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Automata</a>, and <a href="https://hoprnet.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hopr</a> operate at that angle. They ensure your private information is safe.&nbsp;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> 
<h6>Connectivity</h6> 
The connectivity between Layer-1 (L1) blockchains is not fully developed. They struggle to work together. The introduction of a cross-chain solution will improve user interaction with different blockchains. We have Cross-Chain Bridges, Oracles, and Wireless networks. 
For the cross-chain bridge, we have <a href="https://portaldefi.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Portal</a>, <a href="https://www.synapseprotocol.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Synapse</a>, and <a href="https://cbridge.celer.network/1/56/USDC" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Celer cBridge</a>. 
Oracles, we have <a href="https://chain.link/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chainlink</a> and <a href="https://www.nestprotocol.org/oracle" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nest Oracle</a>. 
For Wireless Networks, we have <a href="https://www.helium.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Helium</a>, <a href="https://www.pollenmobile.io/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pollen</a>, and <a href="https://www.karrier.one/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Karrier One</a>. 
The next aspect of the crypto ecosystem that we would look into is DeFi.
