What Is EIP-4844? A Look at Proto-Danksharding and Its Effect On Rollup Fees
4.9.2023
Ethereum Improvement Proposal 4844 (EIP-4844), also known as Proto-Danksharding, introduces a set of changes that seek to lay the logic and “scaffolding” for scaling Ethereum through sharding but without adding sharding itself. Its implementation aims to reduce the transaction fees...
Ethereum Handled Friend.tech Frenzy Without 'Gas Fee' Spike. Why That’s a Big Deal
30.8.2023

Coinbase’s Chosen Blockchain Brand Sees Zero Threat from Zero Knowledge
23.8.2023
Many Ethereum aficionados have predicted that the most promising layer-2 blockchains would be built not using the OP Stack’s “optimistic rollup” technology – favored by the U.S. crypto exchange Coinbase – but with a different setup known as “ZK rollups,” reliant on "zero-knowledge" cryptography

What Is Ethereum’s ‘Data Availability' Problem, and Why Does It Matter?
12.7.2023
Separate “data availability” layers could reduce congestion on the Ethereum network by making it easier for ancillary “rollup” networks to verify that transactional details exist and are available to download if needed — without actually downloading them. The concept might offer an alternative...
