Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin says the ETH community should be doubling down on layer-2 scaling solutions to strengthen its ecosystem. In a new blog post, Buterin says that it would be a mistake to give up on layer-2s and that developers should instead continue to focus on interoperability, secur...

In November, L2s have been posting some 3x more transaction data each day to mainnet than they did in March.

Tim Robinson, Head of Crypto Research at BlueYard Capital, has unveiled groundbreaking simulations indicating that Ethereum’s implementation of “blobs” could be exceptionally bullish for the long-term price of ETH. In a series of posts on X, Robinson highlighted how blobs could revolutionize Ethereu...

Ethereum blob fees briefly surged to a price of $4.52 spurred by a frenzy of Scroll airdrop claims.

The supply of ETH has been gradually increasing since mid-April with the Dencun upgrade decreasing competition for block space on the mainnet.

EigenLayer, a popular provider of decentralized infrastructure, has declared a noteworthy improvement to the security of its EiganDA platform. The primary aim of this update is to strengthen defenses against Sybil and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks by putting Whitelist Security mechani...

In a recent deep dive into Ethereum’s future scalability and infrastructure, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin discusses the latest introduction of blobs and their significant role in the evolution of layer two (L2) rollups. This pivotal development marks a transition towards more efficient intern...

Following the debut of the Dencun upgrade and Ethereum blobs, enthusiasts have devised methods to embed data akin to how Ordinal inscriptions operate. Since this development, inscription-based activities now account for over 40% of blob transactions, leading to a significant increase in network acti...

Ethereum's network is strained as blob transaction demand surges, pushing capacity to its limits due to the popularity of inscriptions.

Ethereum Improvement Proposal 4844 (EIP-4844), also known as Proto-Danksharding, introduces a set of changes that seek to lay the logic and “scaffolding” for scaling Ethereum through sharding but without adding sharding itself. Its implementation aims to reduce the transaction fees of rollups like A...
