The total amount of Ethereum (ETH) staked on the Ethereum 2.0 deposit contract has exceeded four million tokens, worth more than $11 billion at current prices, according to crypto metrics platform CryptoQuant.
Ethereum 2.0 is an ambitious multi-year upgrade plan that aims to switch the Ethereum blockchain from its current proof-of-work (PoW) consensus algorithm to a proof-of-stake (PoS) one. This will significantly reduce the network’s energy consumption and hardware requirements, potentially resulting in lower transaction fees (which are currently skyrocketing) and higher throughput.
The long-awaited Ethereum 2.0 upgrade is near. The multi-phased upgrade aims to improve the Ethereum network’s scalability and security through several changes to the network’s infrastructure—most notably, the switch from a proof-of-work (PoW) consensus mechanism to a proof-of-stake (PoS) model. What is Ethereum 2.0? Ethereum 2.0, also known as Eth2 or “Serenity,” is an upgrade to the Ethereum blockchain. The upgrade aims to enhance the speed, efficiency, and scalability of the Ethereum network...
Currently, ETH 2.0 is in the first stage of deployment, dubbed “Phase 0.” To initially launch it at the end of 2020, the network required over 16,000 validators—users running the software—and 500,000 ETH deposited. Initially, community members were seemingly reluctant to lock up their coins; the minimum threshold was crossed almost at the last moment before the deadline.
Since then, however, inflows of ETH into the Ethereum 2.0 deposit contract have grown considerably. By December 4 last year, users had locked up a total of one million ETH in the 2.0 contract—twice that required for the beacon chain’s launch. That figure doubled again just 20 days later, reaching two million ETH on December 24.
The ongoing crypto price rally has given a significant boost to the dollar value of staked ETH. In December, Ethereum traded at around $600 per token, but it's surged to over $2,700 since then, according to crypto metrics platform CoinGecko.
A new layer-1 blockchain focused on privacy and mining accessibility is now live with the launch of Tari mainnet. Led by a group of former Monero developers, Tari’s mainnet follows the network’s testnet launch in September 2024, placing it in a crowded field of layer-1 networks that includes heavyweights like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. But the developers see Tari differently than the pack. “Our hot take: Existing chains are missing key ingredients needed for them to succeed in becoming the...
Solana network validators narrowly avoided catastrophe, rolling out a patch that killed a bug in a program that could have allowed exploiters to mint certain tokens in unlimited quantities—or withdraw them from any account. The vulnerability, which would have only affected Token-22 confidential tokens, was found in the ZK ElGamal Proof program, which certifies encrypted balances and verifies the accuracy of zero-knowledge proofs. “In the on-chain ZK ElGamal Proof program, some algebraic compon...
In a demo transaction, developers from smart contract operating system BitcoinOS (BOS) claim to have sent 1 BTC from a Bitcoin wallet to a Cardano wallet and back without relying on traditional bridge infrastructure, touting it as the first "bridgeless cross-chain transfer." "Crypto users don't use BTC beyond the existing functionality," not because they value simplicity, but because "they don't have any other options," Edan Yago, co-founder and core contributor at BOS, told Decrypt. Compared t...
