Cryptography Works™ is an information portal dedicated to cryptography ("crypto") technologies, such as strong encryption and hashing, and their practical applications. Of special interest is the practical application of cryptographic technologies to Digital Ledger Technologies (DLTs; e.g, blockchains, DAGs) that underlie Decentralized Finance (DeFi) applications that use cryptocurrencies (e.g., BTC, ETH, ADA).
Cryptographic and Distributed Ledger Technologies are disrupting and transforming traditional Centralized Finance (CeFi) and economics into a brave new world of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and cryptoeconomics. Consequently, it is imperative that both technology experts and financial system users (basically everyone) understand how cryptographic technologies work so that we can improve the accessibility, reliability, and cybersecurity of online financial transactions.
