Sharplink's pivot to Ethereum staking highlights the growing trend of companies leveraging crypto assets for revenue, impacting market dynamics. Sharplink generates 586 ETH from staking rewards in a single week as holdings near 890K ETH.
The developments are scheduled for August 27 and September 3.
Network researchers introduced a draft proposal (tentatively identified as EIP-8394) to redesign the validator deposit contract. The current registry secures approximately 42.4 million ETH (around $104 billion) under the BLS cryptographic scheme. The initiative incorporates scheme tags and variable-length keys to enable compatibility with multiple signature schemes.
A critical vulnerability that could have allowed hackers to drain a crypto wallet during a single transaction in Ledger's Ethereum app has been flagged as of August 26.
Ethereum price could climb to $2,650 this month, according to forecasts from traders on prediction platform Kalshi. The forecast comes after a 20% weekly price jump, which took Ether past $2,400.
The proposal would let validator keys grow to 8,192 bytes and adds a switch that permanently retires today's BLS signatures.
Ethereum researchers have proposed rebuilding the blockchains validator deposit contract as part of preparations to protect the network against future quantum-computing attacks. The draft proposal focuses on the deposit contract, which allows users to lock Ether (ETH) to become Ethereum validators.
Ethereum researchers propose a post-quantum validator deposit contract to protect 37 million staked ETH, targeting full migration to leanXMSS by Ethereum developers propose measures to secure ETH staking against quantum threats.
Gas repricing alert: The Ethereum Foundation warns that EIP‑8037 and EIP‑8038 may impact a small set of L1 contracts relying on outdated gas assumptions. Scaling prerequisites: The EF says new state‑operation costs support a target enabling roughly 3x higher throughput and prepare the network for future gas‑limit increases.
