Ethereum

In the world of crypto, Ethereum is the source of innovation, where DeFi, NFTs, Layer 2, and numerous new technologies were created. One of its co-founders, Vitalik Buterin, is a key opinion leader in the crypto world. Ethereum launched a series of important upgrades to transition from proof-of-work (PoW) to proof-of-stake (PoS), which may help to break down the Blockchain Scalability Trilemma and makes Ethereum a “ultra-sound money”.

Integrating Move into EVM to Enhance Ethereum Ecosystem Security

Movement aims to integrate the Move language into the EVM ecosystem to address long-standing security issues without relying on L2 solutions. MOVE reduces blockchain transaction storage space and computation costs through an optimization technique called "modular packing," which bundles multiple smart contracts into a single module to lower storage and indexing costs, and increases execution speed by reducing the steps needed to execute bytecode.

Are Rollups Overvalued or Undervalued? An Analysis of Rollup’s Revenue and Cost Structure

Although the Rollup L2 ecosystem faces challenges such as adjusting revenue models and attracting users, it has made significant progress in reducing Ethereum transaction costs and improving efficiency. By using the Sequencer as a cash flow entry point, fees are charged for Rollup transactions to cover the costs generated by L1 and L2, and to generate additional profits.

Shorten Ethereum Transaction Confirmation Times Using Epochs and Slots

One of the important properties of a good blockchain user experience is fast transaction confirmation times. However, there is value in improving user experience further, and there are some applications that outright require latencies on the order of hundreds of milliseconds or even less. This post will go over some of the practical options that Ethereum has.

Risks & Rewards

ETH holders have staked over $111 billion worth of ETH, accounting for 28% of the total supply. The amount of staked ETH is also referred to as Ethereum's "security budget" because stakers could face network penalties for double-spending attacks and other violations of protocol rules. In return for maintaining Ethereum's security, stakers earn rewards through protocol issuance, priority fees, and maximum extractable value. Users can easily stake ETH through liquid staking pools without sacrificing asset liquidity, leading to a higher demand for staking than Ethereum developers anticipated. This article will outline the staking situation on Ethereum, including the types of stakers, risks and rewards associated with staking, and predictions for staking rates. It will also provide insights into proposals by developers to adjust network issuance in response to high staking demand.

Comparing ZK on Ethereum vs Solana

This article primarily discusses scaling solutions in blockchain technology, particularly comparing Ethereum's zk Rollups and Solana's zk Compression. It explains the issues of transaction speed and cost faced by blockchain networks and introduces how these two technologies improve scalability in different ways. zk Rollups improve efficiency by moving computation and state off-chain, while zk Compression optimizes data storage directly on the Solana chain. Both methods use zero-knowledge proof technology to ensure data security and privacy while enhancing network performance.
