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

Scaling the Ethereum L1 is a key component of the future R&D roadmap. Within the next five years, Ethereum aims to significantly improve L1 execution.

Vitalik, the founder of Ethereum, announced a large-scale leadership reform of the Ethereum Foundation (EF) on January 18. The goal is to improve the technical level, strengthen communication with the ecosystem, introduce new blood, and support application developers. After several days of fermentation, the outside world is holding a wait-and-see attitude towards the effect of the reform, questioning whether it can revive the Ethereum ecosystem. This article conducts a systematic analysis of the subsequent possibilities of EF's transformation and the subsequent direction of the Ethereum ecosystem.

This article analyzes the 0x0 platform, an innovative blockchain project combining AI-powered smart contract auditing with privacy protection. Through the Arcane Wallet, users can make anonymous asset transfers while relayers maintain transaction privacy. The platform features an AI auditing system that identifies contract vulnerabilities in real-time, alongside a unique tokenomics and buyback-and-burn strategy to enhance token value. Though facing technical complexities, 0x0's upcoming mainnet launch and ecosystem developments position it as a leader in blockchain privacy and decentralization.

This article delves into the current state of the Ethereum Foundation and the challenges it faces, highlighting the contradictions between its decentralized ideals and practical operations. It analyzes internal issues within the foundation, such as a lack of transparency, community disengagement, and the necessity of regulatory compliance. The article also outlines key directions for future development, including fostering visionary leadership, enhancing community engagement, leveraging Ethereum technology for self-governance, and seizing regulatory opportunities.

In this installment, we’ll dive deeper into Falcon, a promising post-quantum signature algorithm, examining its strengths, weaknesses, and the practical hurdles of integrating it into Ethereum’s transaction framework.

In this short note, we are going to analyze a possible post-quantum replacement for the first point, namely a potential post-quantum Ethereum transaction signature.

The SOON Mainnet is a general-purpose Layer 2 based on Ethereum, with its core execution layer supported by the Decoupled SVM, achieving unparalleled speed and scalability. It also offers flexibility in data availability through options like Celestia, EigenDA, and Avail. This architecture is custom-built to meet the high-performance demands of modern decentralized applications, ensuring seamless execution, integration, and optimized data availability across the entire blockchain ecosystem. SOON is committed to bringing the Solana experience to every blockchain. Currently, the SOON Alpha Mainnet on Ethereum has been launched.

Recently, an exciting proposal that promises to solve the problem has been found, and we would like to talk about it — BuilderNet. But before that, let’s explore the current block building landscape on Ethereum and compare it to the impact that BuilderNet brings.

Analyzed the new cryptocurrency market paradigm proposed by @milesdeutscher, exploring the impact of political changes (especially the Trump administration) on market dynamics.

This post will delve into the next evolution of rollups: Booster rollups. Booster rollups not only build upon the foundation laid by based rollups but also push the boundaries of Ethereum's composability. But how exactly do we expand this composability?

This article provides a detailed account of the Ethereum Foundation (EF) facing a community crisis. With ETH's underperformance, community dissatisfaction has erupted, prompting founders of several major ecosystem projects to voice their criticisms. The founder of Synthetix suggested pressuring Layer 2 (L2) networks, the Curve founder advocated abandoning the L2 strategy, and the Aave founder proposed a 12-point reform plan. Amid the collective backlash from the community, EF sold another 100 ETH, sparking even greater controversy. The article highlights the governance challenges and divisions currently facing the Ethereum ecosystem.

This article discusses the issue of insufficient Blob space faced by Ethereum L2. As L2 chains grow, multiple L2s compete for limited Blob storage, leading to soaring fees and increased user costs.

Ethereum's privacy issues are increasingly gaining attention, especially as transaction transparency may expose users' financial information and activities. To address this issue, Stealth Addresses have been proposed, aiming to ensure the receiver's identity and transaction details remain private by generating a unique temporary address for each transaction. This method does not rely on third-party privacy protocols but enhances privacy directly at the protocol level. However, the implementation of Stealth Addresses still faces challenges.

A deep dive into the latest developments and competitive landscape of two major blockchain platforms, Ethereum and Solana. The article analyzes active user data, transaction volume, fees, and project revenue for both platforms, comparing their respective strengths and challenges. It also references a report from Fidelity Digital Assets, providing a professional evaluation and forecast for these platforms. The discussion explores potential development directions and market positioning under high daily active user conditions, proposing a possible future scenario of "division of labor and collaboration" within the blockchain ecosystem.
