Taiko is a Layer 2 project built on Multi-Proofs aimed at addressing potential zkEVM bugs and enhancing Ethereum's scalability. Its core innovation is the BCR (Based Contestable Rollup) framework, which allows anyone to challenge block states and ensures network security through a competitive mechanism. Taiko launched on the mainnet on May 27 and has attracted attention from several well-known VCs and projects. Vitalik Buterin believes Taiko emphasizes the community and security of Ethereum L2 and is optimistic about its prospects. However, Taiko also has some drawbacks, such as a short launch time and tokenomics controversies. Additionally, the overall development of the zkEVM ecosystem is slow, while Op-based Layer 2s have already taken the lead in ecosystem building. Overall, Taiko is a promising project, but its future development requires further observation.

This article discusses the different prospects of Ethereum and Bitcoin following the approval of spot ETFs, analyzing Ethereum's unique advantages as a smart contract platform and its central role in decentralized finance (DeFi). Despite challenges from competing chains like Solana, Ethereum continues to demonstrate strong market potential and long-term growth prospects through its Layer 2 scaling technology, extensive EVM applications, and significance as collateral in DeFi.

Metis, as the first Ethereum Rollup to adopt a decentralized sequencer, has established a unique position in the competitive Layer2 space with its distinctive value proposition, multifaceted bullish catalysts, and competitive valuation.

Ethereum’s next major upgrade, Pectra, is scheduled to launch in Q4 2024 or Q1 2025, Pectra combines two previously planned upgrades: Prague (for the execution layer) and Electra (for the consensus layer). With the merger, Pectra aims to bring several ambitious improvements to Ethereum, making it more flexible and optimized than ever before.

As artificial intelligence becomes the mainstream trend in global technological development, its integration with blockchain technology is also seen as a future direction. This trend has led to a growing demand for access to and analysis of historical data. In this context, EWM demonstrates its unique advantages. ChainFeeds researcher 0xNatalie elaborates on the concept, data processing workflow, and use cases of EWM in her article.

Hyve adopts blockchain technology to build a fairer system for the Gig Economy, where freelancers enjoy flexible work, faster payments, and community governance, while businesses access top talent.

The approval of Ethereum ETFs is beneficial for the development of its ecosystem, with new opportunities arising in the four major sectors of Layer2, re-staking, DeFi, etc. The article deeply analyzes star projects such as Arbitrum, Lido, Uniswap, ENS, and interprets the rising phenomenon of meme coins, providing investors with a comprehensive industry observation and investment ideas.

Ethereum has always been considered one of the most decentralized networks, but the issue of builder centralization is becoming increasingly serious. Crypto KOL 100y explores the progress Flashbots has made in addressing the negative externalities of MEV on Ethereum and examines how SUAVE ultimately aims to solve issues related to MEV, including builder centralization.

In an article discussing the differences between L1 and L2 scaling, Vitalik Buterin pointed out that the key difference lies in organizational structure rather than technology. Ethereum, as an ecosystem centered around L2, allows for the creation of unique sub-ecosystems, fostering diverse development. Blockchain culture influences incentive mechanisms, user appeal, and the legitimacy of the ecosystem.
