Ethereum Merge Puts Spotlight On Potential Centralization Issues

EthereumAng Ethereum Merge ay Naglalagay ng Spotlight Sa Mga Potensyal na Isyu sa Sentralisasyon09 / 21 / 2022Balita ng Ethereum ng Bitcoin  The Ethereum Merge has been successfully completed and the network has been operating on a proof of stake mechanism for about a week now. The success of the upgrade has been lauded by many in the community who have praised the resourcefulness and the inovation of the Ethereum developers. However, it seems the more time Ethereum spends as a proof of stake network, the more issues arise surrounding the decentralization of the network.  Is Ethereum Overly Centralized?  The months leading up to the Ethereum Merge had seen an increase in validators on the network. Given that it requires a total of 32 ETH and some technical know-how to become a validator on the network, a lot of investors have gone the way of using pools to stake their ETH and earn rewards on the network. This has now led to most of the validators coming from a handful of operators.  Just days after the Merge was completed, some in the crypto sector have raised alarm regarding the centralization of the Ethereum network. According to reports, the network is now even more centralized

Ethereum Name Service Regains Control of EthLink Domain in Lawsuit Against GoDaddy

EthereumNabawi ng Serbisyo sa Pangalan ng Ethereum ang Kontrol sa EthLink Domain sa Pagdemanda Laban sa GoDaddy09 / 21 / 2022Balita ng Ethereum ng Bitcoin  Ang Ethereum Name Service (ENS) has regained control of the eth.link domain name after wining an injunction in its lawsuit against domain provider GoDaddy, the ENS anounced late Sunday.  ENS parent company True Names Ltd., along with previous eth.link owner Virgil Griffith, filed a lawsuit against GoDaddy, Dynadot, and Manifold Finance earlier this month. GoDaddy allegedly transferred the ENSs eth.link name to domain name registrar Dynadot before its expiration date and put the name up for auction in what the ENS called a “paglabag ng kontrata” that violated an agreement to “respect, acknowledge, and protect” the eth.link name.  ENS uses the eth.link domain to conect “.eth” names to the Domain Name System, or DNS, which is what web browsers use to conect to websites. This EthLink service enables “.eth” domain users to create viewable websites for themselves with their ENS names and make them accessible from a standard browser. Losing access to the eth.link domain disrupted the service for ENS and its users.  But the crisis has been averted. The U.S. district judge in charge of the case granted

Ethereum miners dump 30K ETH, stonewalling ultra sound money deflation narrative

ETH/USD pang-araw-araw na tsart ng presyo. Pinagmulan: TradingViewEthereum remains inflationary  The Ether price drop on Sept. 15 also coincided with an increase in ETH supply, albeit not immediately post-Merge.  $ ETH is now Ultra Sound Money pic.twitter.com/fKz6VmoWdR  - DavidHoffman.eth (@TrustlessState) Septiyembre 15, 2022  Roughly 24 hours later, the supply change flipped positive once more, pouring cold water on the “ultra sound money” narrative due to a deflationary environment that some proponents expected post-Merge.  Pre-Merge, Ethereum distributed around 13,000 ETH per day to its proof-of-stake (PoW) miners and about 1,600 ETH to its PoS validators. But the rewards to miners bumaba after the Merge went live by roughly 90%.  Meanwhile, validators receiving Ether rewards now only make 10.6% of the previous amount. As a result, Ethers anual emissions have dropped by around 0.5%, making ETH less inflationary, and perhaps even deflationary under certain circumstances.  Still, the Ether supply has been rising at an anual rate of 0.2% after the Merge, ayon sa to data provided by Ultrasound Money.  Ether supply rate after the Merge. Source: Ultrasound.Money  The main reason behind the growing supply is lower transaction fees.  Notably, Ethereum made a change to its protocol in August 2021 that introduced a fee-burning mechanism. In other words, the network started removing a

Ethereum Price Still On The Decline, Can Buyers Defend This Price Level?

EthereumBumababa Pa rin ang Presyo ng Ethereum, Mapagtanggol ba ng mga Mamimili ang Antas ng Presyo na ito?09 / 21 / 2022Balita ng Ethereum ng Bitcoin  Ethereum price tried to rise on its daily chart at the time of writing. Over the last 24 hours, ETH rose by 2%, price action continues to be mundane.  In the last week, the Ethereum price fell by 21%. Technical indicators pointed towards continued bearishness.  Buying strength declined substantially, which has pushed the price of Ethereum closer to its immediate support line.  If buyers do not defend the closest support line, then Ethereum could head for a further decline on its one day chart.  For the bearish thesis to be invalidated, ETH has to hop past several resistances. Selling dominance can further push the altcoin down.  With the price of major market mover Bitcoin declining on its respective chart, most altcoins have followed suit.  ETH has to move past the $2000 price level for the bearish thesis to be invalidated.

ETHs correlation to the Nasdaq creates problems for crypto-native traders

crypto EthereumAng ugnayan ng ETH sa Nasdaq ay lumilikha ng mga problema para sa mga crypto-native na mangangalakal09 / 21 / 2022Balita ng Ethereum ng Bitcoin  Correlation between ether (ETH) and the Nasdaq composite is closing in on highs reached in May of this year, affecting crypto-native traders.  The high correlation between ether and the Nasdaq has made it harder for crypto-native participants to utilize their edge — a deep understanding of on-chain dynamics — according to Cumberlands Jonah Van Bourg.  Van Bourg went on to note in a Twitter thread on Tuesday that many of these crypto-specific traders have a tendency to trade in U.S. dollars rather than using crypto-to-crypto pairs.  “A vestige, perhaps, of the days when digital assets were wholly decorrelated from the broader world of low-vol post-GFC finance,” Van Bourg said, alluding to the period following the global financial crash in 2008.  Disconecting from this could be crucial to surviving the crypto winter, he said. Specifically, Van Bourg was pointing to ETH/BTC, which is trading at local lows at present but could be set to grind higher, similar to what happened following two of the last three bitcoin block reward reductions.  Van Bourg noted the hot inflation data last week in his

Ethereum Layer 3 Protocols Might Be A Thing, Here’s What To Expect

EthereumEthereum Layer 3 Protocols Might Be A Thing, Heres What To Expect09 / 20 / 2022Balita ng Ethereum ng Bitcoin  With the completion of the Ethereum Merge, founder Vitalik Buterin has turned his attention to other things that could help improve the network. Ethereum Layer 2 protocols had been big business back in the bull market of 2021, and even now, they continue to gather support from network users who continue to use these roll-ups. Now, Buterin has pointed to the possibility of Layer 3 protocols on the network. Heres what he expects them to do.  Ethereum Layer 3 Protocols  In a post, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin delves into the idea of Layer 3 protocols that have been circling the space now. At first, the idea started that with the functionality of the existing Layer 2 protocols, it was possible to build on them to provide even more scalability. Buterin refutes this in his post: “Unfortunately, such simple conceptions of layer 3s rarely quite work out that easily.” So what then can make a successful Layer 3 protocol?  The bottleneck comes from the data that needs to be stored on the blockchain as transactions are processed. Layer 2s already do a good job of

Ethereum Proof Of Work (ETHW) Gains 30%, Is More Upside Coming?

EthereumAng Ethereum Proof Of Work (ETHW) ay Nakakuha ng 30%, Mas Higit Pa Ba ang Papasok?09 / 20 / 2022Balita ng Ethereum ng Bitcoin  The Ethereum Proof of Work (ETHW) token had piggybacked off the popularity of the Ethereum Merge. In a bid to maintain the network in its original mechanism, developers had forked the Ethereum network,  creating their own token in the process. The ETHW had been launched after the Merge was completed and was airdropped to ETH holders. The digital asset then suffered massive declines just days after launch.  Ethereum Proof Of Work Recovers  The Ethereum Proof of Work (ETHW) token distribution had been ongoing for days after the Merge. The reason for this was exchanges needed more time to distribute the tokens to their customers who currently hold ETH on their balances. Binance was the most recent crypto exchange to complete its distribution, giving the digital asset a much-needed boost.  It was in the early hours of Tuesday when the largest crypto exchange in the world had completed its ETHW distribution. The crypto exchange had also opened deposits and withdrawals for the cryptocurrency, promptly increasing the demand for ETHW.  Following this, the price of ETHW had added more than 30% to its value
