Ethereum

Instead of adapting existing services for crypto, traditional companies are creating blockchain-native products, with at least 55 innovating on public chains like Ethereum and its L2s (Polygon, Arbitrum, Base).

Ethereum has always been where ideas become reality. Now we have the chance to build something even bigger. A platform that aligns Ethereum’s builders, researchers, and users on what actually matters.

We the Cypherpunks are dedicated to building anonymous systems. We are defending our privacy with cryptography, with anonymous mail forwarding systems, with digital signatures, and with electronic money.

On November 7, the Ethereum Foundation announced the launch of the Pectra testnet named Mekong, allowing developers to experience upcoming upgrade technologies before they go live on the Ethereum mainnet. The following article will introduce the background, purpose, and relationship between the Mekong testnet and Pectra.

The author analyzes the impact of excessive ETH Beta Tokens, liquidity fragmentation, and technological catch-up from other L1 blockchains on ETH’s performance. The article suggests encouraging L2 projects to incorporate ETH, reinforcing ETH’s central role in the Ethereum economy, addressing L2 fragmentation, and accelerating technological upgrades.

The author highlights the 10 major crypto events that occurred during the Spring Festival: Trump’s tariff war, which led to a significant decline in the crypto market; the launch of Deepseek, sparking strong market reactions; El Salvador revoking Bitcoin’s official currency status; and the Federal Reserve’s decision to keep interest rates unchanged...

This article delves into the capital control issues of Layer 2 scaling solutions in the Ethereum ecosystem, analyzing how venture capital (VC) influences the decentralized foundation through governance and economic means, and proposes potential solutions to provide new insights for Ethereum's future development.

The Global Dollar (USDG) is a stablecoin pegged to the US Dollar, issued by Paxos Dollar Singapore Ltd and regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS).

This article examines Ethereum's Pectra upgrade (Prague/Electra) coming in March 2025. The upgrade introduces key changes: raising the maximum validator stake to 2048 ETH, enhancing execution and consensus layer interactions, adding BLS12-381 curve support, optimizing blob transactions, and enabling EOA account code settings. These changes will reshape staking distribution, validator operations, cross-chain functionality, and user experience.

The current issuance curve of ETH is a trap. Unfortunately, like Bitcoin's issuance, Ethereum's issuance was misdesigned.

The proof of Space-Time mechanism is a mechanism designed to eliminate the energy and computational consumption required by other mechanisms.

The article delves into the heated debate within the Ethereum community regarding increasing the gas limit, analyzing its potential impact on transaction throughput, gas fees, network activity, DApp development, and Ethereum's "impossible trilemma." It reviews the history of proposals to raise the gas limit, discussing technical considerations such as block size, execution time, validator hardware requirements, and MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) revenue. The article also highlights the risks and opportunities that this change may bring.

The article delves into the current state and challenges of the Ethereum Foundation in terms of fund management, community relations, and competitive pressure. It also analyzes the major decision to allocate 50,000 ETH to participate in the DeFi ecosystem. The Ethereum Foundation has long been criticized for its lack of transparency in fund management, disregard for community voices, and its gap with competitors
