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.

REI Network isn't new in the crypto industry, it's an evolved iteration of GXChain. The transformation into REI aimed to align with the blockchain's evolving trajectory, striving for a lightweight, Ethereum-compatible framework with heightened performance and fee-free transactions.

This article details the operation of EVM as the core of Ethereum, and explores the innovations made by high-performance Layer1 blockchains in terms of parallel execution and virtual machine selection. In the future, more Layer 1s will implement EVM parallel upgrades or EVM compatible solutions to promote the diverse development of the blockchain ecosystem.

The Ethereum EIP-3074/EIP-7702 incident reveals the complexity of its governance structure: in addition to the formal governance processes, the informal roadmaps proposed by researchers also have significant influence.

Solana is a high-performance blockchain platform designed to support dApps. It is known for its speed and scalability, achieved through a unique consensus mechanism and architectural design. This article uses Ethereum as a comparison object to briefly introduce the characteristics of the Solana smart contract programming model.

This article introduces Monad, a novel layer-1 blockchain that utilizes a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism and Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility. Through parallel execution and superscalar pipeline technology, Monad significantly enhances transaction processing efficiency and system performance. This paper elaborates on Monad's technical architecture, performance optimization, and improvements over Ethereum, heralding a more efficient and decentralized blockchain future. It demonstrates how Monad drives blockchain development through technological innovation and lays the foundation for a more efficient and decentralized future.

This article provides a detailed explanation of the principles and implementation details of EIP-7706. This proposal draws on the Blob gas pricing mechanism from EIP-4844 to further reduce the operational costs of Layer 2 (L2). It helps readers quickly understand the latest developments in the Ethereum Gas mechanism.

MEV-Boost is a protocol designed to mitigate the negative impact of Maximum Extractable Value (MEV) in the Ethereum network. It involves three roles: relay, builder, and block producer. This case not only exposed the vulnerabilities of the Ethereum system but also heightened concerns about the security and fairness of blockchain technology, prompting the cryptocurrency community to consider strengthening safeguards.

This article delves into the ENS (Ethereum Name Service) V2 release, which extends domain services to Layer 2 (L2) networks, aiming to reduce transaction fees and improve processing speeds. It explores the new features of ENS V2, including the new hierarchical registry architecture, the introduction of a universal resolver, and support for L2 networks. Additionally, it discusses the migration process to V2 and its potential benefits, such as lower fees, higher speeds, and more flexible domain management.
