Vitalik Buterin—Ethereum’s co-founder and spiritual leader—has called for an epochal shift in Ethereum’s foundation. He proposes substituting Ethereum’s Virtual Machine (EVM) for RISC-V architecture to increase Layer 1 scalability. The proposal, which we covered in this blog post on April 20, 2025, addresses two of the main bottlenecks curbing Ethereum’s...
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has proposed a potentially groundbreaking change to the blockchain's architecture: replacing the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) with RISC-V. This proposal sparks a significant discussion about the future of Ethereum, touching on scalability, performance, and the overall roadmap. This provision is intended to address a key scalability-limiting...
Looks like Binance U.S. has taken that advice to heart! Noted, they just added the Base network as well, which is a tremendous benefit for anyone buying or selling Ethereum (ETH) and USD Coin (USDC). Notably, this isn’t merely a small policy pivot. It’s a game-changing upgrade that is going...
Shout out to the Ethereum Foundation for taking big steps in this direction! Their aim is to make Ethereum faster, cheaper, and easier for everyone to use. You know, we’ve been talking for a long time about the Merge and the transition to Proof-of-Stake. This change helps to set the...
Ethereum needs to scale. Badly. We all know it. The clunky UX and high gas fees make it frustrating for everybody. Instead, they are incentivizing users and developers to look for faster, cheaper options. Crying foul over these actions isn’t just a lament — it’s an attack on our existence....
The Ethereum Foundation is taking a smart gamble. No longer involved in the day-to-day operations, co-founder Vitalik Buterin will be spending more time doing research and exploration. This change is a milestone for Ethereum, allowing it to adapt and grow well into the future. Tomasz K. Stanczak, co-executive director of...
Let's be real. Ethereum could change the world as much as everything else. Unfortunately, its user experience might as well be attempting to build IKEA furniture with a blindfold on and after downing a bottle of wine. We—the crypto-initiated—have Stockholm Syndrome. We've suffered through gas fees that cost more than...
Ethereum is preparing for the release of its next big detour, Pectra. This modernization holds a lot of promise to enact exciting and long-awaited changes that will positively affect users and developers alike. GreedyChain.com is going to tell you what Pectra really is all about. We parse the technical terms...
So, alright, to put it mildly, let’s not kid ourselves—the NFT space has been…struggling. The hype is over, and the speculative gold rush has gone quiet. Fast forward to today, and instead of art in our museums we are loaded with jpegs and a collective sense of “what now? Is...
Ethereum’s eagerly awaited Pectra upgrade is scheduled for mainnet deployment on May 7th, 2025 at epoch 364032. Pectra also in July of this year builds on the legacy left by past major upgrades like Dencun March 2024. It builds upon 11 Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) to improve network performance, scalability,...
