At Ethereum Singapore 2024, ETH co-founder Vitalik Buterin urged for more individual staking, highlighting its importance for the security and decentralization of the network. He noted that independent and diverse stakeholders can counterbalance centralized entities and reduce their control. 
The Arbitrum Foundation announced its partnership with Paxos to bring its network to the regulated tokenization platform, making Arbitrum the first Layer-2 blockchain to do so. This collaboration is a key step toward building a network designed for institutional adoption. Top Web3 Data Availability Networks in 2024
Blockchain functionality greatly depends on how participants access data about the requests, network state and other details to verify transactions. Since data needs to be shared across all nodes, delays in propagation can impact network capacity and slow down transactions. To prevent this, data availability (DA) networks offer a solution. What Is Merged Mining?
Merged mining is a solution for miners who want to mine two or more coins using the same computational power. Mining is characteristic of Proof of Work blockchains, where network participants solve complex mathematical puzzles to validate transactions and add them to the blockchain. What Is 0G (Zero Gravity)? Web3 Infrastructure for AI Apps
0G, short for Zero Gravity, is a Web3 infrastructure that aims to increase blockchain throughput with its infinitely scalable data availability layer. Data availability (DA) is the chain’s capacity to ensure data for validating transactions, such as the sender and receiver addresses, and the block size, is accessible to all network participants. 
A growing number of Ethereum users are turning to private transactions, which now make up approximately 30% of all activities on the blockchain. The gas consumption for these private operations has surged to 50% of the total network usage. This trend is driven by the desire to avoid MEV trading bots, which capture transactions for rapid profit. 5 Bitcoin Sidechains in 2024: What Are They Even For?
When there are limitations with some type of technology, other solutions often come into play. For example, if a computer needs to cope with more data or to process more tasks simultaneously, the user can add more RAM. In the case of Bitcoin, sidechains can expand the Network’s capabilities and use cases. Ethereum Ecosystem: Challenges and Contradictions
Despite Ethereum's leading status, the network faces significant challenges, including growing accusations of centralization. Can Ethereum scale without compromising its decentralized nature? In this article, we break down the major issues confronting the world’s largest blockchain. 
Treasure DAO, which is set to launch its own gaming network, is considering migrating to the Layer 2 blockchain ZKsync instead of Arbitrum, citing a more suitable infrastructure for decentralized games. A vote is scheduled for September 17 to allow users time to discuss the proposal. How Tron Transaction Fees Work and How to Reduce Them
Blockchain transactions usually come with fees paid in the network's native token (ETH for Ethereum, SOL for Solana, AVAX for Avalanche, etc.). However, in the case of the ever-popular Tron network, the fee structure is more complex than it might seem at first glance. The developers of the Web3 social network Friend.Tech transferred control over the project’s smart contract to Ethereum's null address, effectively freezing the platform. This move means no further updates or modifications can be made, and all future revenue will be burned. 
Dan Albert, Executive Director of the Solana Foundation, dismissed claims of network centralization, arguing that coordinating updates with validators is consistent with decentralization principles. The concerns emerged after a confidential discussion and the release of a security patch by validators and developers. AI Scientist Neural Network: Affordable Research at $15 per Paper
The startup Sakana AI, together with researchers from the University of British Columbia and Oxford, introduced AI Scientist to the professional community—a neural network that offers a complete, turnkey approach to conducting scientific research. Can Blockchains Become Immortal?
Modern technology raises the possibility of digital records surviving beyond human civilization. Could a blockchain last for millions of years without any external power source? How can crucial data be safeguarded without an active network? Our article delves into these questions, alongside the ethical dilemmas they present.
