Missed out the 3rd Round $OP Airdrop? No worry, there is still airdrop opportunity in the future
Last week marked the one-year anniversary of the Ethereum mainnet merge. With almost 1 million ETH burned being a major achievement and creating a deflationary effect, there is growing concern over staking centralization.
While the market is brutal for many tokens, some VCs seem start to accumulate
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.
After launching its mainnet on Monday, Mantle’s utility and governance token has jumped roughly 4%, more than the native tokens of Arbitrum and Optimism over the past day.
By making their code open source and easy to replicate, projects including Arbitrum, Optimism and zkSync are making it easier for copycat blockchains to steal away their users – in pursuit of broader ecosystems of related networks.
