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”.
The rise of Ethereum in the field of stablecoin development stems from its powerful blockchain platform and smart contract capabilities, providing a solid foundation for stablecoin innovation.
This article explores how DeFi protocols generate revenue through several means; from direct charges to indirect sources, ensuring sustainability and financial innovation in the decentralized finance ecosystem.
Vitalik Buterin has proposed EIP-7702, which could be one of the most significant changes in Ethereum's history. EIP-7702 aims to improve account abstraction, allowing smart contracts to be used as accounts, thereby enhancing functionality and security. It is highly compatible with EIP-4337, which has been widely adopted on platforms like Polygon. EIP-7702 achieves the temporary delegation of EOAs (Externally Owned Accounts) to smart contracts by temporarily populating the contract code field of an EOA with smart contract code, without the need for a hard fork. This could transform how users interact with Web3 applications.
This article provides an in-depth analysis and comparison of the different approaches and unique architectural aspects of the EigenLayer and Babylon projects in improving blockchain network security and providing additional rewards for users.
Consider a contract that commits to purchasing Ethereum at a specific price at a future time. These derivative contracts are traded via Ether (ETH) futures exchange-traded funds (ETFs), providing a regulated method of investing in Ethereum using a brokerage account.

Ordinal Inscriptions differ significantly from NFTs. Although they are both tradable digital assets on the blockchain; their minting, storage, and operation underpins the major differences between them. While NFTs are minted and stored outside the Ethereum network, Ordinal Inscriptions are created and stored on the Bitcoin blockchain.
The Ethereum token development landscape in 2024 promises to be dynamic and innovative, offering companies new opportunities to create tokens that are secure, interoperable, and aligned with the latest trends in decentralized finance and digital ownership.
What are Verkle Trees, why Ethereum needs it, and how do Verkle Trees solve problems? The goal of this article is to answer these questions for readers without delving too deeply into cryptography and mathematics, helping those with some understanding of Ethereum quickly grasp the concept of Verkle Trees.
According to Ethena Labs, "Ethena is a synthetic dollar protocol on Ethereum which aims to provide the first censorship resistant, scalable, onchain form of money: USDe". Ethena is the protocol in which the stablecoin USDe lives.
EIP-3074 allows externally owned accounts (EOAs) to delegate their transaction capabilities to smart contracts, enhancing features like transaction sponsorship and batch processing. As a short-term fix, it aims to improve the user experience of EOAs to achieve a complete transition to smart accounts. This ensures that legacy users are not left behind, while also making sure they do not hinder AA's efforts.
ERC7683 aims to optimize the user experience for solution users, lower the barriers to entry for a universal solution network, and the design goal of this standard is to enhance the solver user experience, making it easier for them to support multiple settlement networks, and to deterministically calculate their rewards.
The Boba Network (BOBA), developed and maintained by Enya Labs, is a Layer 2 solution that supports multi-chain, rapid bridging, and hybrid computing.
Railgun is a privacy system built directly for blockchain, currently supporting Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, and Arbitrum. It primarily utilizes zero-knowledge proofs to anonymize transactions in smart contracts and DeFi applications. Railgun provides only on-chain smart contract logic, thus eliminating the need for L2 validators and vulnerable cross-chain bridges to achieve privacy. The article discusses the Railgun privacy system’s mechanisms, tokens, governance, rewards, and the V3 upgrade, offering comprehensive information to readers.
At its core, the concept of parallel EVM revolves around optimizing the execution process of transaction states, with the ambitious goal of achieving a staggering 10,000 transactions per second (TPS). The underlying technology behind this impressive feat lies in the realm of specialized databases, developer friendliness, delayed consensus execution, and superscalar pipeline techniques, all working in harmony to enable parallel processing of large-scale transactions. This approach shares fundamental similarities with Artela's concept of elastic computing and asynchronous I/O operations.
