What is the project about? Vara Network is a substrate-based future proof smart contract platform that is fast, scalable, and makes it simple to create and deploy next-generation Web3.0 dApps Vara is the first standalone network in the Gear Protocol  Gear is a next-gen cloud infrastructure platform providing most intuitive and frictionless environment for web2 and web3 developers to build complex infrastructure solutions and disruptive dApps for any ecosystem  What makes your project unique? Vara is built upon three core concepts: The actor model, and persistent memory — two widely adopted primitives from massive computation and microservices architecture spaces  Wasm — a WebAssembly-based virtual machine that runs on all modern browsers. Proven to be faster than any alternative web2 virtual machines  Vara was created to serve as a wasm-native hub for innovative protocols that leverage parallel execution and asynchronous programming to deliver leading decentralized products in any segment  History of your project. Gear Protocol and the Vara Network were originally created by Nikolay Volf, one of the core developers of Polkadot. In 2021, he embarked on building an advanced layer 1 smart contract platform using Substrate, Polkadot's custom framework. His vision included creating a platform that enables fast and efficient execution of robust, feature-rich dApps while in a seamless development environment similar to that of Web 2.0 development. He did this by  harnessing the power of innovative technologies like Wasm, the Actor Model, and Persistent Memory. These technologies significantly enhance smart contract development and provide a seamless end-user experience and provide the foundation for the development of Vara Network.  1. Q2 2021 - Pre-Seed Round: In the second quarter of 2021, the Protocol secured its initial funding through a pre-seed round. This likely involved seeking investment from early-stage investors or venture capitalists to kickstart the development of the project.  2. Q4 2021 - Seed Round: In December 2021 raised $12 Million in Venture Round. Private investment round led by Blockchange Venture. In addition to Blockchange, other top venture capital funds participated in this round, including Three  Arrows Capital, Lemniscap, Distributed Global, LAO, Mechanism Capital, Bitscale, Spartan Group LLC, HashKey, DI Ventures, Elysium Venture Capital, Signum Capital and P2P Economy lead by Konstantin Lomashuk, along with a number of top executives of Web3 Foundation and Parity Technologies. Dr. Gavin Wood, Founder and ex-CEO of Parity Technologies and one of the key individual investors participating in this round.  3. 2022 - Intensive Scaling and Development, First Test Integrations: Throughout the year 2022, Vara was focused on two primary activities. First, the engagement in an extensive outreach process to build up the team. Second, the project advanced its technical development efforts and started working on integrating their technology with various test environments to ensure its functionality and viability.  4. Q4 2022 - Testnet Launch.   5. Q1 2023 - PoA Launch: In the first quarter of 2023, Vara achieved launch of its Proof of Authority (PoA) consensus network, which is a chain candidate for mainnet.  Current Status of Vara:  Presently, the project boasts a talented and diverse decentralized workforce, consisting of dozens of engineers and other community members  to drive the project's success.  One of the remarkable aspects of Vara is its substantial pipeline of initiatives with over 40 projects.  What’s next for your project? Current projects being researched and developed by the community:  - Intensive testing and improvement of the actor model features in the blockchain space  - Launch of the key stack of dApps in our parallel and asynchronous environment   - Development of innovative infrastructure solutions (e.g offchain zk actors including machine learning) independently and together with the segment leaders  What can your token be used for?

The Cosmos network consists of many independent, parallel blockchains, called zones, each powered by classical Byzantine fault-tolerant (BFT) consensus protocols like Tendermint (already used by platforms like ErisDB). Some zones act as hubs with respect to other zones, allowing many zones to interoperate through a shared hub. The architecture is a more general application of the Bitcoin sidechains concept, using classic BFT and Proof-of-Stake algorithms, instead of Proof-of-Work.Cosmos can interoperate with multiple other applications and cryptocurrencies, something other blockchains can’t do well. By creating a new zone, you can plug any blockchain system into the Cosmos hub and pass tokens back and forth between those zones, without the need for an intermediary.  While the Cosmos Hub is a multi-asset distributed ledger, there is a special native token called the atom. Atoms have three use cases: as a spam-prevention mechanism, as staking tokens, and as a voting mechanism in governance.  As a spam prevention mechanism, Atoms are used to pay fees. The fee may be proportional to the amount of computation required by the transaction, similar to Ethereum’s concept of “gas”. Fee distribution is done in-protocol and a protocol specification is described here.  As staking tokens, Atoms can be “bonded” in order to earn block rewards. The economic security of the Cosmos Hub is a function of the amount of Atoms staked. The more Atoms that are collateralized, the more “skin” there is at stake and the higher the cost of attacking the network. Thus, the more Atoms there are bonded, the greater the economic security of the network.  Atom holders may govern the Cosmos Hub by voting on proposals with their staked Atoms.

Litecoin is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency created by Charlie Lee. It was created based on the Bitcoin protocol but differs in terms of the hashing algorithm used. Litecoin uses the memory intensive Scrypt proof of work mining algorithm. Scrypt allows consumer-grade hardware such as GPU to mine those coins.  Why Litecoin? Litecoin is a cryptocurrency that has evolved from Bitcoin after its own popularity in the industry, this alternative, or ‘altcoin’ has emerged to allow investors to diversify their digital currency package, according to Investopedia. Litecoin is one of the most prominent altcoins and was created by former Google employee and Director of Engineering at Coinbase, Charlie Lee. Litecoin was the first to alter Bitcoin and the most significant difference is that it takes 2.5 minutes for Litecoin to generate a block, or transaction, in comparison to Bitcoin's 10 minutes.  ‘While this matters little to traders, miners who use hardware to run Bitcoin's network cannot switch over to Litecoin. This keeps bigger mining conglomerates away from Litecoin because they cannot easily optimize their profits by swapping to another coin, contributing to a more decentralized experience. Litecoin also has bigger blocks, and more coins in circulation, making it more affordable and swift when transacting,’ Investopedia explained.  As explained above, Litecoin can transact a lot faster than Bitcoin, but there are also a number of other characteristics that investors need to know before trading. Litecoin can handle higher volumes of transactions because of the capability of transacting faster and if Bitcoin attempted to transact on the scale of its altcoin, a code update would be needed. However, Litecoin’s blocks would be larger, but with more ‘orphaned blocks'. The faster block time of litecoin reduces the risk of double spending attacks - this is theoretical in the case of both networks having the same hashing power.  Litecoin Technical Details: The transaction confirmation time taken for Litecoin is about 2.5 minutes on average (as compared to Bitcoin's 10 minutes). The Litecoin network is scheduled to cap at 84 million currency units.   Litecoin has inspired many other popular alternative currencies (eg. Dogecoin) because of its Scrypt hashing algorithm in order to prevent ASIC miners from mining those coins. However it is said that by the end of this year, Scrypt ASIC will enter the mass market.

Litecoin

Litecoin is trending as the community discusses potential breakout patterns and resistance levels, with some anticipating a significant move. Bullish sentiment is fueled by upcoming ETF possibilities, while others express concerns about LTC's performance compared to other cryptocurrencies like Dogecoin. Discussions also involve Litecoin's utility, integration, and potential for future growth.

Starbucks Corp. shares fell for a second consecutive session on Thursday but edged up after hours, with retail traders remaining largely optimistic about the coffee chain's turnaround under new CEO Brian Niccol.There could be more upside heading into Friday, as a Reuters&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/world/china/starbucks-china-valued-about-5-billion-by-bidders-sources-say-2025-09-05/">report</a>, citing two people familiar with the matter, stated that Starbucks' China operations have attracted multiple bidders, valuing the business at up to $5 billion. A deal would help the company monetize a stake in its second-largest market, where it faces sluggish economic growth and fierce competition from local brands.Bloomberg previously&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/Starbucks-china-operations-jd-tencent-kkr-among-potential-investors/chr3YU9RdGt">reported</a> that Starbucks had shortlisted about a dozen firms, including private equity giants Carlyle and KKR, to bid for a potential investment or partnership in China. Starbucks has not publicly commented on the reports.Despite being the U.S. chain's key growth market, China has seen Starbucks lose ground to rivals like&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/LKNCY">Luckin Coffee</a> (LKNCY) and Cotti Coffee, both of which have grown rapidly with cheaper offerings and frequent product launches.On Thursday, Macquarie analyst Linda Huang initiated coverage of Luckin with an 'Outperform' rating and a $52 price target, citing China's coffee boom as per-capita consumption rises.&nbsp;Luckin has already surpassed Starbucks as China's largest coffee chain, operating 26,000 stores as of mid-2025, and is expected to post annual net profit growth of at least 20%, according to Huang.Valuations reflect the divergence:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SBUX">Starbucks</a> trades at a forward P/E of 34.8x compared with Luckin's 17x.

Starbucks Said To Have Landed $5B Valuation For China Business Amid Intense Battle With Luckin Coffee

Luckin has already surpassed Starbucks as China's largest coffee chain, operating 26,000 stores as of mid-2025, and is expected to post annual net profit growth of at least 20%, according to an analyst.

Equity

Starbucks has shortlisted a dozen firms, including private equity and technology companies, to bid for a potential investment or partnership for the coffee chain's China operations, Bloomberg News reported on Friday.The <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SBUX">report</a>, which cited people familiar with the situation, named Boyu Capital, Carlyle Group, EQT AB, FountainVest Partners, KKR, Hillhouse Investment, and Primavera Capital, as well as Chinese tech giants JD.com (JD) and Tencent Holdings (TCEHY).The shortlisted firms will be given access to the coffee chain's China financials,&nbsp;allowing them to&nbsp;evaluate and prepare bids in the coming months.On Stocktwits, the retail sentiment for the company's shares was 'extremely bullish' as of the last reading.&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SBUX">SBUX shares</a> are down 2.3% year-to-date.For months, Starbucks has been evaluating options for its China business, which include a partial or complete stake sale,&nbsp;as well as a financial and&nbsp;operational partnership with a local firm.Some earlier reports valued the business at up to $10 billion, though analysts have called that figure overstated.China is the second-largest market for the U.S. coffee chain. Still, Starbucks has recently lagged behind local chains like Luckin Coffee (LKNCY) and Cotti Coffee, which have boomed with much cheaper alternatives and frequent product launches. Starbucks has responded by lowering prices and offerings such as fruit teas and sugar-free options on its China menus.The process comes amid significant weakness in the business and a company-wide turnaround effort. In recent years, inflation-weary consumers have&nbsp;shied away from Starbucks coffee and food, amid a broader&nbsp;trend of cutting back on&nbsp;dining out.Since CEO Brian Niccol took over in September last year,&nbsp;Starbucks has been cutting costs, boosting staffing at U.S. stores, and refreshing its menu and cafe designs.In the last quarter, Starbucks' global same-store sales&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/starbucks-q3-print-largely-disappoints-even-as-ceo-pitches-a-wave-of-innovation-in-2026-retail-isnt-convinced-yet/choQVrgR5yr">dropped</a> at a more-than-expected 2% rate, deaccelerating for the sixth straight quarter, although comparable sales rebounded in the Chinese market.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/uniqlo-adidas-latest-to-warn-us-price-hikes-as-trump-slaps-tariffs-on-asian-manufacturing-hubs/chr3FPXRdGV">Uniqlo, Adidas Latest To Warn US Price Hikes As Trump Slaps Tariffs On Asian Manufacturing Hubs</a>

Could China’s Luckin Coffee rival Starbucks in the U.S.? Bernstein weighs in

Investing.com - Luckin Coffee has rapidly grown in recent years, particularly in its home market of China, where the chain has moved to entice customers with cheaper prices and speedy digital payments.

Starbucks is&nbsp;considering a partial or full sale of its China business, with a recent news report&nbsp;suggesting that it could be <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/starbucks-china-bidding-heats-up-coffee-giant-reportedly-weighs-offers-for-controlling-stake/chFUo7vR5Lf">valued at</a> up to $10 billion. However, analysts caution that&nbsp;this may be an ambitious figure, given the rising competition in the Chinese market and waning consumer interest in Starbucks cafes."This may be overvaluing the business and not placing enough weight on how competitive China's coffee market is, or how much Starbucks is currently struggling to create a clear identity in the market," Ben Cavender, managing director of China Market Research Group,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/10/why-investors-think-starbucks-china-business-may-be-overvalued.html">told CNBC</a> on Thursday.Starbucks is engaged in talks with potential investors, and a bidding process is underway. The plan to&nbsp;explore strategic options for the China business&nbsp;began as early as late last year,&nbsp;according to media reports, and now Starbucks may be considering a complete sale, rather than its earlier plan to bring in a minority investor."We expect $10B would need to reflect the buyer's view that there is room to quickly recoup sales lost during COVID," or improve its profitability, analysts at Citi said in a note Thursday.TD Cowen said a valuation range of $2.6 billion to $4.7 billion is "more realistic."Starbucks, which opened its first cafe in China in 1999, has faced increasing competition from lower-priced local rivals, such as Luckin and Cotti, in recent years. Globally, the company is also navigating headwinds as consumers pull back on discretionary spending due to frail economic conditions in several places.Starbucks' revenue from China has declined from $3.7 billion in 2021 to $3 billion in the previous year, despite opening hundreds of new stores.
