Core protocol research, improvement proposals, consensus changes, and validator software.
The Rotki founder argues diverting up to 10% of validator rewards to fund core development would entrench large stakers and crowd out smaller operators, compounding a decade of governance drift.
If validator yields compress, the trade is staker income for protocol solvency: EIP-7702 and native L2 interoperability get paid for in real time.
The proposal would let validators vote to redirect up to 10% of staking rewards toward ecosystem funding, but critics say it drags politics directly into consensus.
H leads the schedule at $46.3M, with six mid-cap names from AI, infra, and infra-tooling sectors following. The cliff events for NEWT and SAHARA are the first to hit public floats.
No signup, no key rotation, no backend proxy: the public /v1/quotes endpoint ships best-execution rates for 1,600+ pairs and exposes min/max swappable amounts, a friction cut that matters most for…
At current staking levels a 5–10% redirect could send 50,000–70,000 ETH (~$120M) a year to ecosystem grants, and the proposal turns on a single majority signal from validators rather than a holder…
Full-RBF is already network policy, so the old opt-in flag is now dead weight that tags which wallet broadcast a transaction. The harder problem is agreeing on a common default to replace it.
Historically, every time the MVRV Z-Score has reset below zero — 2011, 2015, 2018, 2020 and mid-2022 — Bitcoin has spent months, not days, in the buy zone, with a multi-year bull run following each…
CryptoQuant's Network Activity Index has climbed above its long-term trend for the first time since mid-2024 — yet the surge is concentrated in sub-0.01 BTC transfers and OP_RETURN data writes, not…
Trent VanEpps pegs the ecosystem's annual core-dev budget at roughly $30M; with the Client Incentive Program gone and EF treasury cuts rolling in, he says contributor flight and a 12-18 month symptom…
The 20 millionth bitcoin was mined in March 2026 — over 95% of the total. The remaining million will take a century to issue, and the post-issuance economics hinge on whether fees can replace the…
The $30M annual core-dev bill is colliding with EF spending cuts and the expiry of the Client Incentive Program — a structural gap, not a quarterly blip.
The proposal turns the network's constant subnet-token selling pressure into a reinvestment loop, but the code is still on a test branch with two serious review issues awaiting re-audit before any…
A live heads-up final against two of the game's sharpest pros is the test bed the AI-agent world has been missing — and the leaderboard is fully public.
The departure closes a chapter in the Foundation's leadership transition — Wang had been on sabbatical while Bastian ran day-to-day operations, and her exit formalizes that hand-off.
A decade after the most consequential smart-contract breach in crypto history, the Ethereum ecosystem has channelled the lesson into a $130 million security fund — a direct institutional response to…
The 2027 target lands three years ahead of the NSA's national-security deadline, framing post-quantum readiness as a competitive race rather than a distant hygiene problem.
The Aztec Foundation says the breached product is a four-year-old immutable stage 2 rollup with no ties to current network contracts or the AZTEC token — but a related validation flaw just drained…
Credit ratings have lived outside the blockchain for a century — Moody's publishing on Solana makes the oldest trust signal in finance machine-readable at the asset level.
The push targets currency reach rather than speculation: national stablecoins and tokenized equities would embed sovereign currencies directly into blockchain settlement rails.
