MEV-Boost is a protocol designed to mitigate the negative impact of Maximum Extractable Value (MEV) in the Ethereum network. It involves three roles: relay, builder, and block producer. This case not only exposed the vulnerabilities of the Ethereum system but also heightened concerns about the security and fairness of blockchain technology, prompting the cryptocurrency community to consider strengthening safeguards.

This article delves into the ENS (Ethereum Name Service) V2 release, which extends domain services to Layer 2 (L2) networks, aiming to reduce transaction fees and improve processing speeds. It explores the new features of ENS V2, including the new hierarchical registry architecture, the introduction of a universal resolver, and support for L2 networks. Additionally, it discusses the migration process to V2 and its potential benefits, such as lower fees, higher speeds, and more flexible domain management.

Aventus Network is a private blockchain on Substrate, offering scalable, secure, and cost-effective solutions for businesses featuring Ethereum interoperability and Polkadot parachain integration.

Ethereum seems to have entered a bottleneck period, and although data availability and user costs have improved, it is still unable to keep up with the growing demand for data. Thinking deeply, what is the bottleneck of Ethereum?

Ethereum faces an innovation dilemma and requires fundamental changes. It has overly focused on modular innovations to the database. Currently, it seems to have reached its peak in terms of market capitalization and usage. Future development depends on deep structural and functional reforms.

This article, written by Vitalik Buterin, explores the similarities and challenges of Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) and execution sharding in blockchain scaling. The article explains that the L2 ecosystem is actually sharding on a technical level, and discusses the diversity of execution environments, security trade-offs, transaction speed, and the organizational and cultural benefits of L2. At the same time, Vitalik highlighted the coordination challenges faced by the L2 ecosystem and raised the importance of cross-L2 infrastructure.

StakeStone, through its full-chain liquidity distribution network, provides users and developers with a new platform for liquidity release and utilization. By packaging ETH staking and potential blue-chip re-staking rewards represented by Eigenlayer into STONE, StakeStone plays a role in standardizing and improving the efficiency of users, blockchain, and the entire ecosystem. With the emergence of more Layer 2 and application chains, StakeStone's full-chain liquidity distribution network will become increasingly important, expected to serve as a bridge connecting different chains and ecosystems, providing users with a richer and more efficient asset utilization method.

Optimism is a Layer 2 solution based on Ethereum that provides fast, stable, scalable and low-cost blockchain services. By running on Layer 1 of the Ethereum main chain, it helps alleviate network congestion, thereby reducing Transaction costs and processing time. Hyperchain is a multi-chain network structure based on Layer 2 technology that solves the horizontal scalability challenges of traditional blockchains. By treating each chain as an interchangeable computing resource, the commercialization of blockchains allows Developers to build cross-chain applications without increasing systemic risks, sharing not only security and communication layers but also an open-source technology stack. This design allows developers to focus more on building applications on the entire super chain, without having to worry about the specific technical details of individual chains.

The Taiko project is a Layer 2 solution leveraging zkEVM technology dedicated to extending the functionality of Ethereum through the decentralized Ethereum equivalent of zkRollup. It allows developers and users to seamlessly extend Ethereum without changing existing decentralized applications (dApps). Key features of Taiko include fully EVM-compatible zkEVM Type 1, open source code, complete decentralization, and transaction sequencing by Ethereum validators. The Taiko protocol ensures transaction correctness and network security through smart contracts and decentralized verification. Additionally, Taiko includes innovations based on Contestable Rollups (BCR) and Booster-Based Rollups (BBR), as well as TKO tokens for validator rewards, transaction fees, and network governance.

Re-staking is emerging as a technology gaining attention inside and outside the industry, allowing ETH already staked on the Ethereum mainnet to be reused to support the security of other projects. This method enables users to earn returns from their original staking while also increasing potential rewards by supporting more projects. EigenLayer's staking mechanism is significantly different from the Ethereum mainnet's PoS staking. This article analyzes the EigenLayer staking mechanism, the possible rewards, and the potential risks.

Uniswap launched the ERC-7683 standard, aiming to improve cross-chain technology and provide users with one-click cross-chain services. Project parties such as Optimism and Krystal also hope to liberate liquidity and bring more vitality to the chain. ERC-7683 is in the review and discussion stage and is expected to be officially implemented after further refinement and approval. In the near future, Uniswap and AcrossProtocol will hold an exchange meeting to introduce the practical application and more details of the ERC-7683 standard.

Ethereum client teams working together to ship the Pectra devnet. Given this greater technical capacity, one important question to be asking is: are we building toward the right goals?

There has for a long time been interest in the concept of multi-dimensional gas, and with EIP-4844 we actually have multi-dimensional gas working on Ethereum today. This post explores the benefits of this approach, and the prospects for increasing it further.
