Ethereum Privacy Proposal Faces Gas Limit Challenge
Ethereum’s proposed Frames change would allow extra validation work at individual nodes, but privacy proofs studied so far exceed the shared 100,000-gas allowance. One proof reportedly requires nearly twice the proposed budget.
Ethereum Draft Proposal Could Let Users Pay Gas Without ETH
Ethereum’s EIP-8141 could allow users to pay transaction fees without holding ETH. The proposal has been in draft form since January and was initially presented by its authors as a defense against quantum computers.
Ethereum Advances Plan to Let Users Pay Gas Fees Without Holding ETH
Ethereum is advancing Frame Transactions, a feature designed to let users pay gas fees without holding ETH. The feature entered the Hegotá upgrade last month, and Vitalik Buterin says development has progressed quickly since.
Reduced RowDAS design shares Ethereum’s rollup data-recovery load
CryptoSlate reports that a reduced RowDAS design shared reconstruction duties in 1,000-node tests, potentially easing Ethereum’s rollup-related computing load while retaining reliance on high-custody nodes.
Vitalik Buterin Sees 60% Chance of Cryptography Breakthrough That Could Challenge Wall Street Middlemen
Vitalik Buterin estimates a 60% chance of a cryptography breakthrough involving three primitives. At least one, probably SNARKs, could arrive by decade-end and potentially weaken traditional Wall Street intermediaries.
Harmony proposes ending layer 1 and moving ONE to Ethereum
Harmony proposed shutting down its layer-1 blockchain and migrating ONE to Ethereum, weeks after an exploit led to plans to discard 109,000 transactions. The proposal’s timeline and implementation details were not disclosed.
Bitmine May Exceed 5% Ethereum Target Through Reward Retention
A CryptoSlate-cited two-year model says Bitmine could exceed its 5% Ethereum goal without further purchases, but would need to retain about 74% of rewards with flat supply and 96.5% if supply grows 0.5% annually.
Robinhood Chain Targets Tokenized Stocks and Meme Coins on Ethereum
Robinhood Chain is an Ethereum layer-2 network built with Arbitrum technology. Decrypt describes it as infrastructure for tokenized stocks, meme coins, crypto applications and other on-chain financial products.
Japanese Company Sells Ethereum, Solana and XRP While Retaining $121 Million in Bitcoin
A Japanese company sold its Ethereum, Solana and XRP holdings for ¥878.8 million, while keeping $121 million in Bitcoin. Management may use the proceeds beyond cryptocurrency, leaving its portfolio Bitcoin-only.
Nearly $10 Million at Risk as Ethereum Layer 2 Prepares to Shut Down
Nearly $10 million could be stranded on an Ethereum layer 2 after deposits were halted and the network announced plans to shut down. CryptoSlate said users must follow differing exit procedures before New Year’s Eve to avoid possible loss.
