Ethereum devs are edging closer to scaling Ethereum. A new paper, co-authored by Vitalik Buterin, claims to have eliminated certain security trade-offs plaguing its new ‘sharding‘ tech. Researchers Mustafa Al-Bassam and Alberto Sonnino from University College London teamed up with Buterin to publish, what they say, is the key to fixing Ethereum’s scalability problems.

Ethereum is embracing the Constantinople milestone at the end of November 2018, after DevCon4 in Prague. Constantinople is the latest Ethereum release, introduced through a hard fork, that will include five Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs):Bitwise shifting instructions (EIP 145) in the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) allow for direct manipulation of bytes on the EVM layer.

One of the key tradeoffs in blockchain design is whether to build more functionality into base-layer blockchains themselves (“layer 1”), or to build it into protocols that live on top of the blockchain, and can be created and modified without changing the blockchain itself (“layer 2”).

Decentralized data storage company Arweave has launched its “Genesis Block” block to the moon in collaboration with two other companies.
River, an on-chain encrypted messaging protocol, has acquired Llama, a Founders Fund-backed smart contracts platform for decentralized governance. The acquisition will help River buttress its governance across its ecosystem, with the protocol integrating Llama’s open-source smart contracts technology directly into…
Ocean's DATUM is since this weekend putting transaction selection back into the hands of hashers, benefiting Bitcoin's censorship resistance.
Complexities in how blockchains have been designed detract from the powerful benefits they offer with decentralization, censorship resistance, and financial inclusion.
When we think of centralized AI gone wrong, imaginative readers may begin to conjure images of a society ruled by artificial general intelligence-powered robot overlords. Just as the Bitcoin movement was born out of a desire to create a permissionless financial system, decentralized AI aims to democratize access to AI technologies by removing gatekeeper chokepoints.
Blockchain technology undeniably shapes the future of decentralization, especially through application-specific blockchain platforms that promote decentralized networks.
Known for her fiery dissenting opinions, "Crypto Mom" discusses how the SEC operates, why she wants to see crypto thrive and her "Safe Harbor" proposal to allow projects to decentralize.
