    LayerZero Hit With Hefty Backlash After ‘Frontrunning’ Lido Governance

    A bridge too far it seems for LayerZero. After announcing it would integrate a wrapped version of Lido’s ever-popular staked Ethereum token, the team behind the cross-chain protocol was hit with hefty backlash from the Lido community. The wrapped version of stETH is an ERC-20 version of the original blend stETH, making it easier to be reused in other applications. Lido Finance is a popular staking protocol. This is what LayerZero had integrated on Wednesday across BNB Chain, the buzzy layer-2 ne...

    Ethereum Staking Is Losing Its Appeal–Here's Why

    The queue for adding new staking validators on Ethereum briefly hit zero yesterday. It's now risen again to 996 validators, but it's still a far cry from its peak on June 10, when over 96,500 validators faced a waiting period of over 45 days, per Beaconcha.in data. In broad strokes, the slowdown suggests a dwindling appetite for staking Ethereum. Validators are responsible for proposing and validating new blocks on a proof-of-stake blockchain like Ethereum. In return, they receive a reward for t...

    Ethereum Gas Fees Hit New Low for 2023 as DeFi, NFT Activity Drops

    On October 8, the average Ethereum gas fee dropped to 8.8 Gwei, levels not seen since October 2, 2022, when the average gas on the network fee was 8.4 Gwei, per Etherscan data. Ethereum's gas prices are typically measured in Gigawei (called Gwei), which is equivalent to 10^9 Wei. Wei represents the smallest denomination of ETH, with 1 ETH equal to 10^18 wei. The decline in gas fees can likely be attributed to a drop off in users on DeFi applications, NFTs, layer-2 networks, and various Telegram...
