Okay, let's talk NFTs. Remember the hype? The Bored Apes? When you hear of the gas fees that would bankrupt a small country. It was a wild ride, a gold rush powered by memes and FOMO that sometimes seemed like a fever dream. Now the Ethereum Foundation is throwing $32...
$32 million. That's the headline figure from the Ethereum Foundation's latest Ecosystem Support Program (EFESP). A significant chunk of change, no doubt. Across the vastly emerging Layer 2 (L2) landscape, we witness fortunes being made and lost at a pace rarely heard of or seen. So, is this a winning...
The Ethereum Foundation is understandably doubling down on its commitment to securing a long-term, scalable, sustainable, and secure future for the Ethereum network. By Q1 2025, a significant investment of $32.65 million will support 32 diverse projects in seven core areas. All in all, this move solidifies their strong commitment...
Ethereum, the granddaddy of all smart contract platforms, is for all intents and purposes getting its lunch eaten in the blockchain gaming space. Let's be blunt: the user experience on Ethereum for gaming often sucks. Navigating the ecosystem under high gas fees and network congestion is like going up to...
As you know, the Ethereum landscape is ever-changing. Layer-2 (L2) scaling solutions, like Arbitrum and Optimism, are important for increasing the network’s scalability. Once again, Ethereum R1 is a unique project. It is devoted to being a public good — made entirely possible by your donations. This approach is what...
Okay, let's talk about Ethereum R1. Another Layer-2, yawn, right? But wait, this one’s different. It's 100% donation-funded. No presales, no VC sharks circling, just… donations. It’s almost like a white paper for a new blockchain on Kickstarter, right? We explain all of that, and more, after the jump… Is...
A new L2 enters the arena, but with a twist that's got everyone talking: 100% donation-funded. No VC vultures, no token presales, just cold, hard… ether in the case of Ethereum. Utopian dream come true or disaster in the making? You decide, but let's unpack this.Donations Alone Can Build A...
Ethereum R1 is proving to be a unique approach to answer these increasing worries related to the prevailing layer-2 scaling solutions (L2s). On May 1, 2025, the project kicked off with a deep dive thread on X. It distinguishes itself by prioritizing public funding, community control, and alignment with Ethereum...
Are we creating bridges to a decentralized future, or a highway to centralization? Ethereum’s new, proposed ERC-7930 and ERC-7828 standards, which would simplify cross-chain transactions, have been making waves. But beneath the veneer of progress, a crucial question lingers: are we solving one problem only to create another, potentially bigger...
Cross-chain transactions can be a real headache. Managing multiple chains, concern about sending crypto to the wrong address, and just the overall complexity can be intimidating. What if there was a better, easier, more efficient, and effective way to do it all? That's where ERC-7930 and ERC-7828 come in. Wonderland,...
