Ethereum Network

Over the past few months, fewer people have been using the Ethereum network. Because of this, a lot less ETH (Ethereum’s cryptocurrency) is being burned, and that’s starting to affect its price. Why Burning ETH Matters Ethereum has a system where some ETH is permanently destroyed (or “burned”) every time someone makes a transaction. This […]

The Hackathon Problem Jacob Franek, co-founder of crypto startup accelerator Alliance, recently raised the alarm. He believes Ethereum is relying too much on hackathons to drive innovation—short events where developers race to build projects for small prize money, often around $5,000. Franek doesn’t think that’s enough to build serious, long-term companies. “$5,000 prizes don’t fund […]

Today is a big day for the crypto market. Around $3 billion worth of Bitcoin and Ethereum options are set to expire, and that could lead to some price swings. If you’re a trader or investor, it’s a good idea to keep an eye on what happens, especially around 8:00 AM UTC, when these options […]

Base, a layer-2 blockchain built by Coinbase to help Ethereum handle more transactions, has just reached a big milestone. It has officially moved up from Stage 0 to Stage 1 in Ethereum’s rollup maturity rankings—and in the process, it overtook Arbitrum as the largest Ethereum scaling network. These “stages” come from a framework created by […]

Ethereum used to be the go-to platform for everything Web3 — from NFTs to smart contracts. But now, it seems a bit lost. The people behind Ethereum and those who support it can’t agree on what it should focus on. And that’s starting to show. What’s the Real Value of ETH? Zach Rynes, who works […]

BNB Chain just got a big upgrade called the Lorentz hard fork, and it’s made the network much faster. Here’s what’s new: This means transactions go through quicker, apps work faster, and the whole system runs more smoothly. The BNB Chain team said, “Welcome everyone to experience a faster and smoother BNB Chain.” This update […]

Big things might be coming to Ethereum. Dankrad Feist, a researcher with the Ethereum Foundation, just shared a proposal called EIP-9698 — and if it works out, Ethereum could process up to 2,000 transactions per second (TPS) in a few years. That’s a huge improvement compared to what we’re dealing with today. So, what’s the […]

Today, a massive $8.05 billion worth of Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) options contracts are expiring. This big event could shake things up in the crypto market, at least in the short term. Why does this matter? When a lot of options expire at once, it often leads to price swings. Traders keep a close […]

Ethereum, the second-largest blockchain after Bitcoin, is getting a major upgrade called Pectra — and it’s finally happening on May 7, 2025. While that might sound technical, this update could actually make Ethereum faster, cheaper, and easier to use — for everyone. Ethereum upgrades happen in stages, and each one brings improvements under the hood. […]

Ethereum (ETH) just hit its lowest point compared to Bitcoin (BTC) since 2020. The ETH/BTC ratio has dropped to 0.01791, which simply means 1 ETH now buys you less Bitcoin than it used to. So, what’s going on? A big part of this has to do with major holders — known as “whales” — cashing […]
