Index Coop introduces new staked Ethereum index for those interested in LSD-Curious

Index Coop has launched a new structured product that will give investors exposure to the top liquid staking derivative (LSD) tokens on the market. Called the Diversified Staked ETH Index (dsETH), the product offers exposure to Lido Finance’s stETH, Rocketpool’s rETH, and Stakewise’s sETH2 tokens. These tokens are yield-bearing assets for investors that have staked their ETH holdings and can be used elsewhere to earn additional yield in DeFi. They are especially popular because they let investors stake less than the required 32 ETH needed to participate if they were to stake directly to Ethereum. The idea behind getting all

Ethereum Creates ‘Shadow Fork’ to Evaluate Ether Withdrawal Environment

As the Ethereum Shanghai upgrade approaches, developers have created a shadow fork, or testnet, to see if the upgrade can prevent malicious attacks. This testnet, called “Withdrawal-Mainnet-Shadow-Fork-1,” is intended to test the conditions needed for Ether withdrawals, which are currently disabled but are intended to become enabled in the update. The creation of this testnet comes after devs have expressed an increasing urgency to make Ether staking withdrawals a reality and after they decided to exclude the proposed EVM Object Format (EOF) from the Shanghai upgrade due to its complexity. Over 14.5 million ETH (over $23 billion worth at the

Hacker Takes Advantage of Wormhole to Move $155M in Largest Crypto Heist in Recent Months

The hacker behind the $321 million Wormhole bridge attack has shifted a large chunk of stolen funds, with transaction data showing that $155 million worth of Ether (ETH) was transferred to a decentralized exchange (DEX) on January 23. The Wormhole hack, which took place on Feb 2, 2022, was the third largest crypto hack of the year and resulted in the loss of 120,000 Wrapped ETH (wETH) worth around $321 million. According to the transaction history of the hacker’s alleged wallet address, the latest activity shows that 95,630 ETH was sent to the OpenOcean DEX and then subsequently converted into

Vitalik Buterin Reveals Ethereum’s ‘Biggest Remaining Challenge

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has shared a possible solution to what he describes as the “largest remaining challenge” on Ethereum—privacy. In a blog post on Jan. 20, Buterin acknowledged the need to come up with a privacy solution because by default, all information that goes onto a “public blockchain” is public too. He then arrived at the concept of “stealth addresses” — which he said can potentially anonymize peer-to-peer transactions, nonfungible token (NFT) transfers, and Ethereum Name Service (ENS) registrations, protecting users. The concept of stealth addresses appears complex in theory, Buterin previously described it as a “low-tech approach” compared

Immunefi Researcher Saves $200 Million from Being Stolen on Three Polkadot Parachains

A security researcher known as pwning.eth discovered and reported a software vulnerability that could have been exploited to steal up to $200 million from three Ethereum-compatible parachains on the Polkadot network. The vulnerability was found in a program called Frontier that is used for “wrapping” native tokens on the Moonbeam, Astar Network, and Acala parachains. Wrapping is the process of converting native crypto assets into tokens that can be more easily supported by apps, and is done through the use of a smart contract. The vulnerability could have been used to mint unlimited wrapped tokens, but was fixed by the

Vitalik Buterin points out some of the successes in the crypto industry in 2022

Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, has pointed out some of the successes in the cryptocurrency industry in 2022, despite it being a challenging year for the sector. In an interview with Bankless, Buterin mentioned six examples of cryptocurrency networks and entities that have thrived this year, including the Uniswap DEX, the Rai Reflex Index, and Maker’s Dai stablecoin, as well as the Ethereum base layer, the Ethereum Name Service (ENS), and the growth in smart contract wallets. Buterin also noted increased adoption of Bitcoin and more involvement in cryptocurrency from traditional finance companies such as Visa. He emphasized the importance

The Ethereum Core Development team has set a goal of March 2023 to release the Shanghai upgrade

At the All Core Developers meeting on December 8, 2022, Ethereum developers decided to launch the Shanghai upgrade, called Ethereum Improvement Proposal 4895, on March 2023. This upgrade came in response to the successful completion of the Ethereum Merge on September 15, 2022, and will enable validators to withdraw their staked ETH from the Beacon Chain consensus layer. Moreover, it will set the stage for a scalability upgrade, which will significantly increase the network’s transaction throughput. Marius van der Wijden, a developer, has announced that full and partial withdrawals are now functional on two private Ethereum testnets, with a public

Ethereum explained in simple terms

Ethereum is a decentralized, open-source blockchain platform that enables users to create and deploy decentralized applications (dApps). It utilizes a distributed public blockchain network, which enables users to securely transfer digital assets and store data. Ethereum is powered by its own cryptocurrency, Ether (ETH), which is used to power the Ethereum network and pay for transaction fees. Furthermore, Ethereum is the foundation for many other decentralized networks, such as EOS, Cardano, and Tron. Ethereum enables developers to build and deploy smart contracts, which are computer programs that can be used to manage digital assets and other functions on the Ethereum

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin believes AI is “quite far” from replacing human programmers

According to the Ethereum founder, he tested ChatGPT, an OpenAI AI chatbot, to see if it could write useful code. Since OpenAI made the bot available for free, many developers have been investigating its capabilities and determining how much trust can be placed in it. Buterin claimed in a blog post that the new chatbot could be a “programming aid,” but when asked for code snippets, the bot made mistakes. Buterin stated that artificial intelligence is still a long way from replacing human programmers. ChatGPT provides instantaneous responses by utilizing natural language processing, a type of cutting-edge artificial intelligence. ChatGPT
