Ethereum

Pioneered by EigenLayer, Actively Validated Services (AVS) represent an innovative approach to blockchain security, leveraging the economic security of Ethereum's PoS consensus through restaking. This article delves into the operational mechanisms of EigenLayer AVS, examining its implications within the broader context of omnichain restaking. In this omnichain landscape, the AVS ecosystem is characterized by increasing diversification and competition. While challenges such as technical maturity and security risks persist, AVS promises to become a cornerstone of secure and trusted blockchain infrastructure, driving the growth of the crypto market. This paper offers a comprehensive analysis, providing readers with an in-depth understanding of the AVS ecosystem.

As the DeFi market continues to evolve, the issue of MEV has become increasingly prominent, and Sorella Labs' innovative tools have been created to address this challenge.

This article explores how Based Rollup and pre-confirmation work together to build an integrated Ethereum ecosystem.

Puffer uses Restaking to build a more efficient Based Rollup, with decentralized sequencers and better cross-chain liquidity interaction. Based Rollup and mainstream Rollups will shape different ecosystems within Ethereum.

Today’s focus revolves around BitGo, the custodian behind Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC). WBTC is one of the most widely used Bitcoin wrappers, particularly across Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible chains.

The ICOs of 2017, the DeFi that heralded the bull market of 2020, the mainstreaming of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) in 2021, and the scaling solutions such as EVM-compatible chains and Layer2 Rollups driven by a surge in user demand, all these notable blockchain innovations are inseparable from a blockchain named Ethereum. This article will guide you through what Ethereum is, how it operates, the important trajectories of its development, and some of its well-known applications.

This article dives into the approval mechanisms of Approve and Permit on Ethereum, exploring their practical differences and impact. It analyzes how the Permit mechanism helps reduce user costs in high gas fee environments, while also discussing potential security risks and offering practical safety tips.

Ethereum's scaling strategy has evolved from sharding and layer 2 protocols to a rollup-centric approach. The current roadmap proposes a division of labor between L1 and L2: L1 serves as a robust foundation layer, while L2 is responsible for ecosystem expansion. Recent achievements include EIP-4844 blobs increasing L1 data bandwidth, and multiple EVM rollups reaching stage 1. Future goals include achieving 100,000+ TPS, maintaining L1 decentralization, ensuring some L2s inherit Ethereum's core properties, and maximizing interoperability between L2s. Key research areas include data availability sampling, data compression, and cross-L2 interoperability.

This article discusses the Ethereum "Merge" and explores the areas for improvement in the technical design of Proof of Stake, as well as the potential ways to achieve these improvements.

Data Availability (DA) solution serves a similar purpose in crypto. It ensures that the information required to validate and process transactions on a blockchain is accessible to all participants. Without robust data availability, the integrity and functionality of blockchain networks—especially scaling solutions like rollups—could be severely compromised.

A deep dive into the on-chain data of six major public chains, providing an in-depth analysis of the investment logic and future potential of ETH, SOL, SUI, and more.

This article discusses the possibility and impact of increasing Ethereum's gas limit. The analysis covers three aspects: storage, bandwidth, and computation. The article points out that storage growth is not the main bottleneck, while bandwidth may pose a greater challenge. The author believes that through the gradual increase mechanism of EIP-7783, it's possible to increase the gas limit by 33% or even double it. At the same time, the article also discusses the potential impact of EIP-7782 (reducing block time), suggesting that its implementation might be premature at this stage.

Historical data suggests a correlation between the Ethereum Foundation’s sell-offs and ETH price fluctuations, but it's not a guaranteed relationship. Ultimately, it remains a matter of probability.

A comprehensive outlook on the upcoming Ethereum Pectra upgrade: a detailed overview of the technological improvements and optimizations included in the upgrade.

This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the economic design of fraud proof systems in Ethereum rollups, using Arbitrum, Optimism, Cartesi, and Kroma as case studies, and highlights their importance to security.
