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”.

What is Formal Verification of Smart Contracts?

Smart contracts have become critical to blockchain technology considering the automated process they initiate which allows the easy bypass of intermediaries and related third parties, making the system more effective, efficient, and reliant. However, as smart contracts keep developing, it is critical to acknowledge the necessity of formal verification in assuring enhanced layers of security and reliability.

Ethereum is Too Slow and Expensive? ETH Layer2 Scaling Solution and Audit Guide

ETH Layer2 uses Rollups to package hundreds of transactions into one submission to the Ethereum mainnet, thereby the transaction fees will be divided to all Rollup users, reducing fees per user. Transaction data in the Rollups is submitted to Layer1, but executions are carried out independently by the Rollups. By submitting transaction data to Layer1, Rollups can inherit the security of Ethereum because once the data is uploaded to Layer1, rolling back Rollups transactions requires the data to be rolled back on Layer1.

L2 Wars and the Future of ETH

This article discusses the development trends of Ethereum (ETH) and Layer 2 scaling solutions. The author reviews last year's predictions about the L2 landscape, including the impact of Blast on rollup architecture, the fragmentation of L2 ecosystems, and changes in data availability (DA). The article analyzes the changes in ETH revenue following the implementation of EIP-4844, as well as the challenges and opportunities facing Ethereum. The author explores the potential of ETH as a "global proof verification layer and currency," while pointing out the uncertainties of this positioning. Finally, the article presents several possible development paths but emphasizes that no one can be certain of the answer, and the market will ultimately determine the value.
