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”.

Why Ethereum Might Return to the PoW Era: Exploring the New ZK Hardware-Accelerated PoW Mining Model

Ethereum is transitioning to ZK technology, which relies on hardware acceleration for ZK provers. Like Bitcoin mining, ZK mining could become a new form of PoW. Ethereum's economic model might eventually combine PoS and PoW in a new "hybrid consensus" model.

What I would love to see in a wallet

Vitalik Buterin discussed the ideal Ethereum wallet, focusing on key features such as cross-Layer 2 transactions, enhanced security, and privacy protection. He emphasized how the wallet could seamlessly handle multi-chain and cross-Layer 2 transfers, improve user experience, and support decentralized identity and data storage. Additionally, he highlighted the necessity of integrating privacy features, such as ZK-SNARKs for private transactions, as well as robust security to counter threats like phishing.

WHY I AM AGAINST RAISING THE GAS LIMIT (for now)

We should increase the gas limit at the right time, but currently, gas fees are already relatively low. The real focus should be on managing the network's long-term sustainability and performance, rather than simply raising the gas limit.

Dynamic Finalization Considering 51% Attacks

This document classifies attack methods against PoS Ethereum, focusing on the risks of a 51% attack, where an attacker controls over 51% of the staking ratio. It proposes two defenses: Close Vote Detection, which detects potential attacks, and Emergent Dynamic Finalization, which delays finalization during heightened risk.

Understanding Gala Music (MUSIC) in One Article

Gala Music is a music platform built on Gala Chain and Ethereum. It is a key component of the Gala ecosystem, alongside Gala Games and Gala Movies, forming the foundation of the ecosystem. Artists can release their songs on the Gala Music platform to earn revenue. Each song can be minted into 100 NFTs, referred to as tracks. These tracks can be paired with nodes, with each node capable of hosting up to 10 tracks. The more the song is played, the greater the rewards for both the node operators and the track holders.

The Evolution Towards Trivial Verifiability

In this article, we will go through the three key types of nodes that will shape the future of the Ethereum network: stateless nodes, stateful nodes, and full/archive nodes. We will examine how stateless nodes can enable trustless verification of new blocks using zero-knowledge proofs, how stateful nodes can provide quick and trustless access to the current state of Ethereum, and how full/archive nodes can store the entire chain history back to genesis.
