Why You Are Thinking About Ethereum All Wrong

Have you heard? Ethereum is dead. Or no…wait, it is pivoting. The price isn’t high enough. Other chains are gaining traction. Something must be done.  Ethereum is not dead. It is not pivoting. It’s doing just fine.  The constant chatter about Ethereum online seems to fulfill a need for drama that the network itself has failed to provide. Ethereum has been the world’s leading and largest programmable blockchain since its inception. As Ethereum approaches its 10th birthday, it remains the preferre...

The 69 Dumbest Moments of the Year: 2024 Crypto Edition

Crypto was dumb in 2024—like, really dumb. This year’s meme coin supercycle spawned the most bizarre characters the industry has ever seen, which is saying a lot, and conferences had us cringing weekly, all while politicians begged on their knees for the crypto vote (or at least its money). And with this, we’ve enjoyed some of the dumbest moments ever inscribed on the perfectly distributed, immutable, uncensorable Blockchain of Life. From a meme coin developer setting himself on fire to promote...

Economists Vouch for Ethereum Founder Vitalik Buterin as Nobel Prize Contender

Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin may be up for the Nobel Prize in Economics thanks to his contributions to cryptocurrency, two notable economists argued on a recent podcast. This comes ahead of the award announcement on Monday, October 14. Tyler Cowen and Alex Tabarro, two economics professors, spoke on the podcast for their joint economic blog Marginal Revolution as they questioned who may win the upcoming Nobel Prize in Economics. After throwing a few names around, they eventually pondered if...

Telegram’s Tap-to-Earn Gaming Craze Is Falling Short in Keeping Players

The rapid ascent of tap-to-earn games on Telegram underscores a transformative moment in the Web3 gaming sector. As Telegram's user base swells to 950 million monthly active users, these games have seized the spotlight, reportedly engaging over 300 million users in a matter of months. This remarkable uptake has effectively dethroned play-to-earn games—the trend popularized by Axie Infinity back in 2021—with notable successes like Catizen, which has already earned approximately $27 million from i...

Why Crypto Protocols Need Preventative Tools to Mitigate Attacks

On June 2, Velocore’s protocol on Ethereum layer-2 network Linea was hacked, resulting in losses of $6.8 million worth of ETH. The attack, which leveraged a fee overflow bug, resulted in Linea halting operations for an hour in an attempt to mitigate the fallout, and prompted an extensive postmortem. While the Velocore hack will go down as June’s first major on-chain exploit, it was by no means its last. Another six protocol hacks occurred in the month as recorded by DefiLlama, bringing June’s to...

'What The Punk' Film Traces the History of Ethereum's Iconic NFT CryptoPunks

The story of the most iconic project in crypto-art begins in a gloomy neighborhood in Brooklyn. “The most polluted waterway in the whole country,” Matt Hall says of the surroundings that inspired his work with Larva Labs co-founder John Watkinson in the new documentary “What the Punk.” This 80-minute tale of counterculture follows two humble Canadian programmers who started experimenting with tech and art in 2005, and are now featured in Centre Pompidou in Paris, where CryptoPunk #110—donated by...
