Cantelopepeel, the core developer of Solana, announced his departure and founded Unto Labs to develop the new Layer 1 blockchain. As the core engineer of the new Firedancer client, he led the team to demonstrate the performance of 1 million transactions per second and 1 billion computing units per second at Breakpoint 2024. Unto Labs will adopt a new architecture, redesigning from virtual machines to consensus mechanisms, but will not create SVM chains. Cantelopepeel expects tens of millions of ...
On January 22nd, Eric Conner, a core developer of Ethereum and co-author of EIP-1559, posted on the X platform in the early hours of yesterday morning: "I am no longer a member of the .eth [Ethereum domain name]. Maybe one day those leaders will be back in line with the community, but for now, I am gone. Deep down, I really want Ethereum to succeed. Good luck." In addition, Eric Conner wrote today: "My passion is all about the potential of cryptocurrencies and artificial intelligence. Add...
Sandy, the core developer of Scroll, said in a post on the X platform that in response to the recent community concern about "team wallet token distribution", a transparent statement will be made: "Points are automatically accumulated when users bridge assets or interact with eligible protocols. This process applies to everyone, including project and team wallets. Team wallets and vault wallets hold tokens, sometimes to support ongoing development and operations within the ecosystem. As part of ...
This week, Ethereum's core developers decided to split the network's next major upgrade, Pectra, into at least two parts, with the first update due around February 2025. At present, gas fees on Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, and other second-layer networks must be paid in ETH regardless of the token being transferred. A proposal included in the first part of Pectra, EIP-7702, would effectively end this requirement, allowing users to use a wider range of tokens for other purposes.
Robert Sasu, core developer of MultiversX, in reply to Vitalik's comment on "Encryption enters early stages in terms of L2 cost reduction, ZK-SNARKS, account abstraction", stated that on a truly decentralized network, a centralized sorter can actually be cheap. Rollups based networks are great, like Taiko, but right now that's just a handful. Hopefully more people migrate to Rollups. I think not only should L1 be scaled, this will help eliminate all unwanted L2, the benefits of scaling the base ...
Tim Beiko, a core developer of Ethereum, said in a post on X that his Ethereum Foundation Protocol Support team has hired two new employees, nixo.eth and Sophia Gold, to jointly handle the Ethereum Developer Conference (AllCoreDevs), Ethereum Protocol Fellowship, Summer of Protocols Research Grant Program, and other matters. Tim Beiko added that this is the team's first hire in years.
Bitcoin Core developer Luke Dashjr wrote on X: "Seven years ago today, the Bitcoin community launched Segwit, even though Bitcoin Core refused to allow anyone other than miners to make decisions. Today, we encountered a similar situation when updating our spam filters. Sadly, the community was largely too complacent - or brainwashed - to take action. Bitcoin doesn't blindly trust a centralized maintenance team - fiat currencies are like...
Ethereum Core developers have announced the launch of EIP-7732, the official specification for Enshrined Proposer-Builder Separation (ePBS). EIP-7732 is an upgrade to the consensus-only layer that will perform a separation of validation from consensus validation, embedding the PBS directly into Ethereum's consensus layer. PBS refers to the separation of block proponents and builders. EIP-7732 includes modifications to beacon chains, fork selection rules, P2P communication, and allows validators ...
Tim Beiko, Ethereum Core Developer and head of the All Core Developers (ACD) conference, has revealed that the Ethereum Foundation's mailing list has been compromised. The vulnerability appears to have occurred on SendPulse, an email automation service used by the foundation. The attacker managed to send subscribers a phishing email from [email protected] falsely advertising a partnership with Lido. Tim Beiko later confirmed that the foundation had locked down access to the mailing list.
The core developers of the SRC protocol announced that the indexer code will be open-sourced on GitHub, allowing users to query and call the front-end interface. The SRC ecosystem includes three token standards: SRC20, SRC721 and SRC101: SRC20 supports token and NFT issuance; SRC721 is mainly used for NFT applications, and the OpenStamp platform currently uses this token standard for stamp and NFT transactions; SRC101 is a customized domain name service standard developed by Bitname, a domain na...
