The Ethereum Foundation has announced a significant overhaul of its leadership to clarify roles and strengthen its focus on management and strategic oversight. The changes are designed to separate day-to-day operations from long-term vision-setting. “We remain dedicated to serving as a steward of the Ethereum ecosystem, supporting its growth while ...

Ethereum Foundation researcher Dankrad Feist has proposed a transformative improvement plan that could increase the Ethereum network's gas limit by 100 times, potentially allowing for 2,000 transactions per second (TPS). This plan will implement a "deterministic gas limit growth schedule" starting at epoch 369017, around June 1, 2025. The proposal ...

In a move to improve economic incentives within the Ethereum ecosystem, community members Kevin Owocki and Devansh Mehta have proposed a new dynamic fee structure for the application layer.  The proposal, introduced on April 27, seeks to balance revenue generation for decentralized application (dApp) builders with fair fee extraction as ...

Ethereum users are now enjoying the lowest transaction fees seen on the network in five years as on-chain activity slows significantly ahead of the anticipated Pectra upgrade. Brian Quinlivan, the firm's marketing director, noted in a blog post that the decline in activity is due to reduced demand, with fewer ...

Ethereum is edging toward a critical price level that has historically signalled long-term buying opportunities, according to recent on-chain data from CryptoQuant. Analysts observe that previous ETH bull runs typically began when the asset traded near or below the lower accumulation band—a zone seen as a marker of deep value. ...

As artificial intelligence races ahead, a former Ethereum core developer believes the next big breakthrough for Ethereum could lie beyond finance — in reshaping the future of AI.

An Ethereum whale recently sold their entire stash of 10,000 Ether after holding it for 900 days. This decision resulted in the whale missing out on a potential peak profit of $27.6 million, which could have been realized when Ether reached over $4,000. The whale initially purchased the 10,000 Ether ...

New research from blockchain explorer platform Blockscout reveals that Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) networks are consolidating around dominant technological ecosystems rather than working toward universal standards. In a recent interview with Decrypt, Blockscout's head of product Ulyana Skladchikova and head of research Kirill Fedoseev noted that while overall transaction volume ...

The Starknet Foundation announced a roadmap on March 11 to scale Bitcoin from 13 transactions per second to thousands. While Bitcoin offers deep liquidity and strong security, its limited programmability has hindered decentralized finance (DeFi) development. Starknet seeks to address these challenges and create new opportunities for DeFi on the ...

When transacting on Ethereum or executing a smart contract, you pay a "gas fee." These fees are denominated in Gwei, which might seem odd since Ether (ETH) is Ethereum's native currency. Well, Gwei is ETH, and technically, it is a denomination of cryptocurrency. The Ethereum network uses a system of ...
