EF Protocol is seeking a wider debate on Ethereum issuance. The discussion weighs preserving validator income through unchanged staking rewards against potential dilution for holders who keep their ETH unstaked.
Ethereum’s 2029 quantum-security deadline is influencing upgrade discussions. EF Protocol priorities keep shorter slots and node efficiencies conditional, while a proposal could delay mandatory execution proofs by one fork, CryptoSlate reports.
Hunter Biden reportedly plans to launch the LAPTOP memecoin on Sept. 9, targeting traders who lost money on TRUMP. The project would turn a politically charged 2020 election episode into a crypto asset.
