The latest in Ethereum.
The fee landscape of Ethereum has changed dramatically. According to recent data, average transaction fees on Ethereum’s base layer have dropped by about 62 % over the past 30 days, a sharp decline that has triggered renewed questions about whether Ethereum’s native token Ether (ETH) is exposed to
When a blockchain’s co-creator raises his hand and says “I have an idea,” the ecosystem listens. That is exactly what Vitalik Buterin has just done, proposing a radical rethink of how Ethereum handles gas fees: by letting users lock in future gas prices via a futures-style market. The proposal aims
Ethereum has officially completed the Fusaka upgrade, a milestone that extends its long-term vision of becoming the foundational settlement layer for global decentralized applications. With this upgrade, Ethereum enhances its capacity to support Layer-2 ecosystems without compromising decentralizati
The Ethereum network is about to go through one of its most important upgrades in 2025. Fusaka, a hard-fork scheduled for December 3, is not about flashy new wallets or shiny user interfaces. Instead, it doubles down on what really matters: scalability, data-efficiency, cost, and laying groundwork
The world’s largest decentralized-lending protocol seems to be dialing back its ambition. Aave DAO is currently debating a proposal to deprecate and unwind its deployments on zkSync, Metis, and Soneium, three networks that, until recently, formed part of its aggressive multichain expansion. Why the
A playful new experiment in the Ethereum ecosystem is gaining traction, and behind the scenes, it may hint at something much bigger. A recently introduced protocol allows users to host fully private “Secret Santa” gift exchanges on-chain using zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs). But as Zcash surges in po
In a stunning reversal of its long-standing anti-crypto stance, Vanguard, one of the world’s largest asset managers, has announced it will allow clients to trade cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs) on its platform. This move signals a fundamental shift in how traditional finance is approac
According to Shane Molidor, the long-lamented issue of insider trading in crypto isn’t limited to shady token launches: it’s spreading into traditional finance territory as so-called Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs) come into vogue. What are DATs and why they matter DATs are institutional-grade fun
China is once again tightening its grip on crypto, and this time, stablecoins are in the crosshairs. In a newly issued statement, the People’s Bank of China (PBoC) vowed to intensify its crackdown on virtual currencies, citing mounting concerns over the systemic risks posed by stablecoins. This lat
In a sharp warning to followers of a leading privacy-coin, Ethereum’s co-founder Vitalik Buterin cautioned the Zcash community against adopting token-based governance. What might seem like a harmless upgrade, he argued, could fundamentally undermine privacy, a feature that many hold sacred. What Bu
In a dramatic blow to one of DeFi’s pioneering platforms, Yearn Finance recently confirmed that its yETH product was exploited, allowing an attacker to mint virtually unlimited tokens and drain millions from liquidity pools. The news has sent ripples through the crypto world and reignited concerns
Bhutan Turns Heads With Institutional-Grade ETH Stake The government of Bhutan quietly moved 320 ETH, worth roughly $970,000, to Figment, the well-known staking provider, signaling a major shift in how the Himalayan kingdom engages with crypto. Rather than a speculative or retail-style buy, this i
