In Brief
Coinbase has acquired the Utopia Labs team to accelerate the development of on-chain payment solutions for Coinbase Wallet.
Company operating a cryptocurrency exchange platform, Coinbase announced its acquisition of the team from Utopia Labs, a cryptocurrency payment provider and stablecoin onramp/offramp.
The Utopia Labs team will join Coinbase’s Layer 2 network, Base, to help accelerate the development of on-chain payment solutions within Coinbase Wallet, a self-custody wallet that allows users full control over their cryptocurrency. This means the private keys, which are crucial for ownership of the cryptocurrencies, are securely stored on the user’s mobile device rather than with a centralized exchange.
The team brings extensive experience in building on-chain payment products, and Coinbase aims to leverage this expertise to further its mission of providing low-cost, fast, and globally accessible payments.
In Q2 2024, stablecoins saw $8.5 trillion in transaction volume across 1.1 billion transactions, highlighting the growing importance of improving user experiences in the space. Jesse Pollak, creator of Base and Head of Protocols at Coinbase, emphasized the collaboration’s goal of creating a future where on-chain payments improve the daily lives of individuals and businesses worldwide.
Base: What Is It?
Base is an Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain developed by Coinbase, designed to provide a secure, cost-effective, and developer-friendly environment for building on-chain applications. Built using the OP Stack in collaboration with Optimism, Base is incubated within Coinbase, leveraging the company’s extensive experience in crypto product development. The network is intended to progressively decentralize over time, and currently, there are no plans to issue a new native token for the network.
Recently, Base introduced permissionless fault proofs to enhance the decentralization of the network and reduce the risk of centralized control. These fault proofs are modeled after a similar implementation on Optimism’s OP Mainnet. Both networks are part of the Superchain ecosystem, alongside other projects like Zora, Mode, and Fraxtal.

The development of artificial intelligence has brought about tremendous advancements in various fields, but running AI models can be incredibly resource-intensive, both financially and environmentally. AI models consume enormous amounts of electricity, and their energy demands are projected to grow as AI systems become more complex. For instance, in early 2023, running ChatGPT consumed around 564 MWh of electricity per day, equivalent to the daily energy usage of 18,000 U.S. households.
This vast consumption is largely due to AI models’ complex computations, especially floating-point operations in neural networks. These processes are inherently energy-hungry, involving heavy matrix operations and linear transformations. However, a revolutionary new algorithm promises to significantly reduce this energy load. It’s called L-Mul (Linear-Complexity Multiplication), and it could reshape the future of AI by making models faster and drastically more energy-efficient.
Let’s explore L-Mul, how it works, and what this means for the future of energy-efficient AI.
Why AI is Energy-Intensive
Neural networks are at the core of modern AI models, which use floating-point numbers to perform computations. These floating-point operations are essential for functions like matrix multiplications, which are critical to how neural networks process and transform data.
Neural networks typically use 32-bit and 16-bit floating-point numbers (known as FP32 and FP16) to handle the parameters, inputs, and outputs. However, floating-point multiplications are far more computationally expensive than basic integer operations. Specifically, multiplying two 32-bit floating-point numbers consumes approximately four times the energy required to add two FP32 numbers and 37 times more energy than adding two 32-bit integers.
Thus, floating-point operations present a significant energy bottleneck for AI models. Reducing the number of these floating-point multiplications without sacrificing performance can greatly enhance AI systems’ energy efficiency.
The Birth of L-Mul: An Energy-Saving Solution
This is where the L-Mul algorithm steps in. Developed by researchers and recently published on ArXiv, L-Mul simplifies floating-point multiplications by approximating them with integer additions. The key advantage? This algorithm can be seamlessly integrated into existing AI models, eliminating the need for fine-tuning and enabling substantial energy savings.
By replacing complex floating-point multiplications with much simpler integer additions, L-Mul achieves up to 95% energy reduction for element-wise tensor multiplications and saves up to 80% energy for dot product computations. This energy efficiency doesn’t come at the cost of accuracy either, making L-Mul a breakthrough for running AI models with minimal power consumption.
Understanding Floating-Point Operations
To better appreciate the impact of L-Mul, let’s take a closer look at the floating-point operations on which AI models rely. When you multiply two floating-point numbers, the process involves:
Exponent addition (O(e) complexity)
Mantissa multiplication (O(m²) complexity)
Rounding and normalization
The mantissa multiplication is the most resource-intensive part of this process, requiring significant computational power, which leads to high energy consumption. On the other hand, integer addition is far simpler and less energy-intensive, with a linear complexity of O(n), where n represents the bit size of the integers involved.
How L-Mul Works: Replacing Floating-Point Multiplications
The L-Mul algorithm simplifies this process by replacing floating-point mantissa multiplications with integer additions. Here’s how it works:
Two floating-point numbers (x and y) are represented by their mantissas (the fractional parts) and exponents.
Instead of performing expensive mantissa multiplication, L-Mul uses integer additions to approximate the result.
If the mantissa sum exceeds 2, the carry is added directly to the exponent, skipping the need for normalization and rounding found in traditional floating-point multiplication.
This approach reduces the time complexity from O(m²) (for mantissa multiplication) to O(n), where n is the bit size of the floating-point number, making it far more efficient.
Precision vs. Computational Efficiency
In addition to being energy-efficient, L-Mul offers a high degree of precision. As AI models increasingly adopt 8-bit floating-point numbers (FP8) to reduce memory usage and computational cost, L-Mul shines as a highly effective alternative. FP8 has two common representations: FP8_e4m3 (more precise but with a smaller range) and FP8_e5m2 (less precise but with a larger range).
When compared to FP8, L-Mul outperforms in terms of both precision and computational efficiency. L-Mul offers greater precision than FP8_e4m3 while consuming fewer computational resources than FP8_e5m2, making it a superior alternative in many scenarios.
Real-World Applications of L-Mul
So, how does L-Mul perform in real-world AI tasks? Let’s break it down:
Transformer Models and LLMs
L-Mul can be directly applied to transformer models, particularly in the attention mechanism, where large-scale matrix multiplications occur. This application leads to up to 80% energy savings without sacrificing performance. No fine-tuning is required, which is a significant advantage.
For instance, in large language models (LLMs) like Mistral-7b and Llama-3.1, L-Mul has been shown to outperform FP8 and Bfloat16, common floating-point formats used in transformers, across various benchmarks, including text-based and instruction-following tasks.
GSM8k and Other Benchmarks
When evaluated on specific tasks like GSM8k, which tests models on grade-school math problems, L-Mul consistently outperformed FP8 in terms of accuracy and efficiency. This demonstrates that L-Mul can handle complex mathematical reasoning without requiring excessive computational power.
Visual Question Answering (VQA) and Object Detection
In models like Llava-v1.5–7b, which are used for visual question answering and object hallucination, L-Mul again surpassed FP8 in both accuracy and computational efficiency, reaffirming its utility in multimodal tasks that require a combination of text and image processing.
What the Future Holds for L-Mul
The ability to use L-Mul without fine-tuning and its remarkable energy savings means that it could become a key player in the future of AI development. It’s already clear that this algorithm can enhance the performance of models across multiple domains, from language processing to vision tasks, all while reducing the carbon footprint associated with AI computations.
The results are just as promising in models where fine-tuning is required. When tested on the Gemma2–2b-It model, L-Mul performed at the same level as FP8_e4m3, meaning that even fine-tuned models can maintain their accuracy while becoming more energy-efficient.
The future of AI is bright, but it also needs to be sustainable. With algorithms like L-Mul, we are on the path to creating smarter, faster, and greener AI systems.
Conclusion: A New Era of Energy-Efficient AI
The L-Mul algorithm represents a massive leap forward in developing energy-efficient AI. By replacing expensive floating-point multiplications with simpler integer additions, L-Mul reduces power consumption and improves computational efficiency and model performance across the board.
As AI advances and demands more computational power, solutions like L-Mul will be crucial for ensuring that progress does not come at an unsustainable cost to the environment.

Seamless interoperability between games, platforms and blockchains will make these games more appealing as users can truly own their in-game assets. Blockchain technology to verify NFT rarity and authenticity will add another layer of value to digital assets in gaming.
With interest from both gaming community and institutional investors growing, future innovations will focus on creating richer, more immersive experiences that also come with financial incentives. Web3 will reshape gameplay by incentivizing players not just through in-game achievements but also with real financial rewards, aligning developers and players interests. Blockchain gaming will be most appealing to the younger generation who are already familiar with digital ownership and decentralized economies.
Ways to Earn with Crypto Games
Blockchain Gaming Startups
Blockchain gaming startups is an investment opportunity for those who believe in the long term growth of the sector. Investors who get in early will see big returns if these platforms go mainstream. Many startups in this space are testing play-to-earn models where users can earn in cryptocurrency and NFT driven economies.
However, since blockchain gaming is still volatile and experimental, these investments come with risks. Researching the project’s tech, team and roadmap can help mitigate some of the risks and make better decisions. Venture capital firms like Andreessen Horowitz and Galaxy Interactive are already investing in this space, validating the trend of blockchain gaming.
Gaming Coins
Many blockchain games have their own native cryptocurrency or tokens that powers their ecosystem. By investing in these gaming coins like Axie Infinity’s AXS, The Sandbox’s SAND or Decentraland’s MANA, you can get exposure to the specific game’s growth. These tokens are used to buy in-game items, land and NFTs, so they are essential to each game’s economy.
Token prices can create investment opportunities as the value can appreciate over time as the game grows. Before buying, potential buyers should review tokenomics, roadmap milestones and the utility of the token in the game as these will impact the token’s value in the market.
Earn In-Game Assets
One of the most direct way to earn in crypto games is by getting in-game assets. Play-to-earn (P2E) games allow players to earn valuable assets like rare weapons, character skins or in-game currency by completing challenges or achieving high scores. Once collected, these assets can be sold on marketplaces for cryptocurrency or fiat money.
Games like Axie Infinity pioneered the P2E model where players breed, train and battle characters (Axies) to earn in-game currency that has real world value. For many players, the ability to monetize gaming skills is a big incentive, but success in P2E games requires dedication and strategy.
Trade NFTs
NFTs represents digital ownership of unique items like characters, weapons or virtual real estate that can be bought, sold or traded on blockchain platforms. In blockchain gaming, NFT trading is a big earning potential especially for those who can get rare or hard to find items early.
NFTs are traded on platforms like OpenSea or Rarible where players list their assets at market price or auction them to the highest bidder. Knowing the rarity, utility and demand of specific NFTs can help maximize trading profit but the NFT market is volatile and trend dependent.
Participate in Tournaments and Quests
Many blockchain games have regular tournaments and quests that offer cryptocurrency or NFT rewards to top performers. Competitive players can earn big by participating in these events especially if they can utilize in-game skills and strategy. Games like Splinterlands and Gods Unchained are popular for hosting competitive tournaments with prize pools.
Besides rewards, tournaments help build community engagement where players can form alliances, improve their gaming skills and get recognition in the gaming community. Earning potential varies depending on the game and event but competitive gaming is a fun way to earn money.
Rent NFTs
Renting NFTs is a new way for asset holders to earn passive income instead of active trading. Some platforms like play-to-earn guild Yield Guild Games (YGG) allows NFT holders to lend their assets to other players who don’t have the upfront capital to buy them outright.
NFT renting benefits both parties: renters get temporary access to in-game benefits or items and lenders get a share of the rewards generated by these assets. This model is popular for items like land or characters that players use to complete quests or unlock game levels. As the blockchain gaming industry grows, the rental market for NFTs will grow and more passive income opportunities for NFT holders.
Conclusion
Blockchain gaming is a game changer in how players and investors approach digital entertainment, combining gaming with financial opportunities. Whether it’s investing in gaming startups and coins, participating in tournaments or earning passive income from NFT rentals, there are many ways to earn money in this space.
