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”.

Ethereum Gas Limit Analysis

This article discusses the possibility and impact of increasing Ethereum's gas limit. The analysis covers three aspects: storage, bandwidth, and computation. The article points out that storage growth is not the main bottleneck, while bandwidth may pose a greater challenge. The author believes that through the gradual increase mechanism of EIP-7783, it's possible to increase the gas limit by 33% or even double it. At the same time, the article also discusses the potential impact of EIP-7782 (reducing block time), suggesting that its implementation might be premature at this stage.

What Is Near Protocol?

This article provides a detailed overview of NEAR Protocol, a decentralized open-source platform designed to address blockchain scalability issues through its innovative Nightshade sharding technology and Threshold Proof of Stake (TPoS) consensus mechanism. NEAR Protocol supports developers in building high-performance decentralized applications (dApps) and has attracted a broad user base with its user-friendly account naming system and smart contract accessibility without the need for a wallet. The article also explores NEAR Protocol's unique technologies, such as the Rainbow Bridge and the Aurora Layer 2 solution, as well as the economic model of the NEAR token and its applications within the ecosystem, including Ref Finance and Burrow. Additionally, it discusses how NEAR Protocol achieves cross-chain interoperability through Chain Signatures and how the Burrow v2 upgrade enhances the performance and user experience of DeFi platforms. The vision of NEAR Protocol is to create an efficient, secure, and easily

Corn: An Ethereum Layer 2 Solution Using Bitcoin for Gas

CORN is an innovative Layer 2 solution for Ethereum that uses Bitcoin as its primary fuel. CORN boosts transaction efficiency by integrating the VeCHAIN Super Yield Network and the Crop Circle system while creating new DeFi opportunities for Bitcoin holders. The project uses $BTCN, a token tied 1:1 to Bitcoin for fuel, and $CORN as its governance token. CORN also includes a Kernels point system, encouraging users to contribute by depositing assets, completing tasks, and inviting others. Backed by experienced DeFi experts and major investors, CORN aims to bridge the Bitcoin and Ethereum ecosystems and drive innovation in BTCFi.
