Update !! Dencun upgrade also known as Cancun-Deneb was successfully implemented on the Ethereum mainnet, March 13. The Road to Dencun was a series of 20+ global meetups running from January to March 2024. Will this lead to a much anticipated increased scalability and efficiency by incorporating proto-danksharding. Two current Ethereum pain points that need addressing. For the short term this comes at a trade off for this decreased transaction cost users may need to forego some decentralization and security by transacting on layer-2 solutions.

Paradigm: What comes after Ethereum's Cancun hard fork? The Prague hard fork is possible on Ethereum testnets by Q3 2024 and mainnet by end of year. We think the following EIPs must be prioritized: 7002, 6110, 2537. Any staking-related EIPs, such as EIP-7002 which enables… https://t.co/iB99tuSBqa

At the ETHTaipei 2024 event in Taiwan, Ethereum Founder Vitalik Buterin introduced the innovative concept of “rainbow staking,” which allows protocol service providers to participate in a differentiated menu of protocol services. This framework aims to counter the emergence of a dominant LST and bolster the economic value and agency of solo stakers. The project also focuses on moving towards the concept of single-slot finality

🚀 Exciting news for the Ethereum community! 🎉 SSV.network has launched its mainnet, showcasing a scalable solution to reduce the dominance of major staking pools. Distributed Validator Technology (DVT), pioneered by SSV.network, allows multiple operators to manage a single validator, mitigating slashing risks and promoting decentralization.

Last week at Europe’s largest Ethereum conference something amazing happened, that we did not expect: During the worldwide first Arbitrum Day, in front of the entire community, Camelot announced our partnership 🚀 For context: Camelot is one of the worldwide biggest decentralized exchanges and Aribtrum is arguably the most vibrant DeFi ecosystem. For a small start-up, this announcement is a significant achievement, especially since Camelot has multiple partners but chose to mention us exclusively. What's even more astonishing is that we had no prior knowledge of this announcement, showcasing Camelot’s dedication to our journey towards the first start-up IPO. Besides this announcement, we had countless other highlights by interacting with the community. Listening to them, we learned that the community is ready for more mature assets beyond the existing tokens. If you couldn't attend this event but want to learn more, we've prepared a short video providing an overview of the good, the bad, and the ugly. Check it out now. Was also great to meet some old, and new friends: Francesco Biviano, Pascal Hügli, Naemi Hügli, Kevin Madiba, Pietro Carta, Adam Levi Ph.D., Alessandro Marco Patti, Nicolas Weber, Ricardo J. Mendez, Marko Balac, Valentin Seehausen, Shurong Li (李姝融) Li, and countless others. #ArbitrumDay #PartnershipAnnouncement #CryptoCommunity #DecentralizedExchange #StartUpLife #Blockchain #CryptoInsights #ExcitingTimesAhead

MetaMask -- and thus integrating the Ethereum network into your own website -- is exactly what I have been working on over the last few days. As a result, it has become quite complex and suitable for making several posts for my blog. Here's the first one! So if you are interested in something like this and and would like to avoid some of the loops I have had to go through, you would do well to read on. The link is in the first comment.
