This article dives into the approval mechanisms of Approve and Permit on Ethereum, exploring their practical differences and impact. It analyzes how the Permit mechanism helps reduce user costs in high gas fee environments, while also discussing potential security risks and offering practical safety tips.

Ethereum's scaling strategy has evolved from sharding and layer 2 protocols to a rollup-centric approach. The current roadmap proposes a division of labor between L1 and L2: L1 serves as a robust foundation layer, while L2 is responsible for ecosystem expansion. Recent achievements include EIP-4844 blobs increasing L1 data bandwidth, and multiple EVM rollups reaching stage 1. Future goals include achieving 100,000+ TPS, maintaining L1 decentralization, ensuring some L2s inherit Ethereum's core properties, and maximizing interoperability between L2s. Key research areas include data availability sampling, data compression, and cross-L2 interoperability.

This article discusses the Ethereum "Merge" and explores the areas for improvement in the technical design of Proof of Stake, as well as the potential ways to achieve these improvements.

Data Availability (DA) solution serves a similar purpose in crypto. It ensures that the information required to validate and process transactions on a blockchain is accessible to all participants. Without robust data availability, the integrity and functionality of blockchain networks—especially scaling solutions like rollups—could be severely compromised.

A deep dive into the on-chain data of six major public chains, providing an in-depth analysis of the investment logic and future potential of ETH, SOL, SUI, and more.

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.

Historical data suggests a correlation between the Ethereum Foundation’s sell-offs and ETH price fluctuations, but it's not a guaranteed relationship. Ultimately, it remains a matter of probability.

A comprehensive outlook on the upcoming Ethereum Pectra upgrade: a detailed overview of the technological improvements and optimizations included in the upgrade.

This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the economic design of fraud proof systems in Ethereum rollups, using Arbitrum, Optimism, Cartesi, and Kroma as case studies, and highlights their importance to security.

A new framework called based rollups is gaining attention as a new approach for scaling rollups. Read on to learn what based rollups are, how they work, and how they compare to other types of rollups.

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

This article discusses the current state, challenges, and future trends of the Ethereum wallet ecosystem, including an analysis of the characteristics of different types of wallets and their roles in order flow, as well as an exploration of the impacts of centralization in the block building market.

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.

This article demonstrates whether the mismatch between price and demand can be alleviated by increasing the minimum base fee for Blobs. Overall, this adjustment has limited impact on transaction costs, especially for efficient Blob submitters, the fee increase is minimal.

As a DA layer, Ethereum provides a cheap and maximally trustless way for rollups to sacrifice decentralization to attract more users while ensuring the sovereignty of their user's assets.
