Testnet of Ethereum Shanghai upgrade live

Nov 14, 2022

Ethereum's Shandong testnet is live. It allows developers to experiment with proposals of the so-called Shanghai upgrade. It is the first upgrade since the Merge of September 2022 and scheduled for the second half of 2023. A big update will be that investors who currently stake their ETH are finally able to withdraw.

Google Cloud provides infrastructure for Ethereum

Oct 28, 2022

Google is looking into blockchain technology for quite some time. Most crypto enthusiasts associate Google with Hedera Hashgraph, but this is not the only field in which Google is active. Yesterday, the company announced the start of a service that is targeting blockchain developers and that could largely contribute to the future of blockchain technology. There are not a lot of infrastructure providers and therefore this is big news for the tech industry and blockchain-related projects.  What is Google offering and why could this service become important in the future?

Post Merge: How is Ethereum’s supply burn working out?

Oct 25, 2022

Ethereum has successfully shifted to proof of stake over 30 days ago. Many were sceptic about the impact on the network’s security and the long-term perspective. Some even feared that smart contracts could crash and Ethereum could become entirely unreliable. Most of these talking points turned out to be false or the real problem was not as severe as anticipated. With that being said, one specific positive effect was the reason for a pre-Merge rally and after some time has passed its effects are becoming better visible. Is Ethereum’s supply shrinking and will we witness a new era of scarcity of Ether?

OFAC sanctions: More than 51 % of Ethereum’s blocks are censored

Oct 17, 2022

MEV boost is a script that allows Ethereum validators to maximize their staking reward by selling block space to an open market of builders. Up to 60 % more revenue is promised when using the technology. Needless to say, more and more validators are using this highly incentivized technology. As always in life, there is a catch to that. Why is censorship all of a sudden a thing on Ethereum and do we need to worry about the openness of its blockchain?

XEN Crypto is doing something similar that is still different and it is setting a record for the last 30 days on the Ethereum blockchain.

Researchers suggest new token standards to reverse Ethereum transactions

Sep 27, 2022

An open and public blockchain is censorship resistant. This is the case with Bitcoin and Ethereum as well as many others. Some blockchains don’t need censorship resistance since they are kept private which often means that they run in a corporate environment and serve a different purpose. Censorship resistance is what makes blockchain technology so disruptive. No authority on this planet, not even nation-states can interfere with transactions. This makes each network that is considered to be censorship resistant immune to dictators and the persecution of innocent people. What is the downside of censorship resistance and what are three researchers from Stanford proposing to change that?

Ethereum is facing a supply shock just hours after the Merge

Sep 15, 2022

The Merge moved Ethereum from proof of work to proof of stake, and the main implication is that the Ethereum blockchain is becoming carbon-neutral. Today was the big day and so far, there have been no hiccups or fatal errors reported. This does not mean that we are out of the woods yet, but it looks pretty good, and chances are high that Ethereum can proceed with the rest of the items on its roadmap. Another factor that comes into play is the supply of Ether, the native currency of the Ethereum blockchain. Is ETH becoming scarce and how is the supply changing within hours after the Merge commenced?
