Presales are quite long, which means that the first quarter of 2025 is full of opportunities to invest in these meme coins being their launch. A presale is the best time to invest in a token because that’s when the prices are lowest. However, you’re likely to benefit from crypto fanatics like us, who can point you towards the best meme coins. In this article, we’ve compiled a list of the top 6 crypto…

URGENT ALL MINERS: The network is under attack. The attack is a computational DDoS, ie. miners and nodes need to spend a very long time processing some blocks. This is due to the EXTCODESIZE opcode, which has a fairly low gasprice but which requires nodes to read state information from disk; the attack transactions are calling this opcode roughly 50,000 times per block. The consequence of this is that the network is greatly slowing down, but there is NO consensus failure or memory overload. We have currently identified several routes for a more sustainable medium-term fix and have developers working…

Ethereum’s dominance in the DeFi sector has long been contested by rival Layer 1 blockchains. However, it might just be the most significant challenge may not come from these external competitors but from within its own ecosystem. A major way Ethereum is solving its inherent limitations—network congestion, gargantuan transaction fees and scalability issues—is via Layer 2 (L2) solutions such as Arbitrum, Optimism, zkSync, Base, and Polygon. These solutions offload transactional activity from the mainchain (Ethereum’s Layer 1) while leveraging its security guarantees. The consequence of this: Projects that previously sought refuge in Ethereum’s competitors are increasingly moving back to its…

Ethereum follows MicroStrategy’s pattern from 2021 to 2025 suggesting thatETH could hit $14K. High volatility continues for ETH in the short and long term, creating opportunities. Ethereum’s [ETH] price action, alongside MicroStrategy’s stock performance from 2021 to 2025, showed a similar pattern that could hint at substantial growth for ETH. In 2021, ETH fell by 81.92%, mirroring MicroStrategy’s 89.92% drop in the same period. However, both charts showed a recovery phase where higher lows suggested strengthening confidence among investors. ETH, from its low point, showed consolidation and an uptrend, reaching $3,632.81 recently. If ETH continues to mimic MicroStrategy’s recovery pattern,…

Bithumb, one of South Korea’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges, has transformed its now-defunct subsidiary, Bithumb Meta, into Bithumb Partners.  As reported by BizWatch today, the rebranding is interpreted as a major strategic change. Apart from the name, the focus has changed to investment operations, forming a new entity within Bithumb. In the fourth quarter of 2024, Bithumb rebranded and injected another 1 billion KRW or 6,80,099 USD, bringing the total capital for the subsidiary under 100% ownership of Bithumb to around 2 million dollars. In 2023, previous investors in Bithumb Meta-such as LG CNS, CJ OliveNetworks, and SK Square-have now officially…

Today the network was attacked by a transaction spam attack that repeatedly called the EXTCODESIZE opcode (see trace sample here), thereby creating blocks that take up to ~20-60 seconds to validate due to the ~50,000 disk fetches needed to process the transaction. The result of this was a ~2-3x reduction in the rate of block creation while the attack was taking place; there was NO consensus failure (ie. network fork) and neither the network nor any client at any point fully halted. The attack has since, as of the time of this writing, mostly halted, and the network has for…

Memecoins have attracted substantial interest because of their high-risk and high-reward nature. Dogecoin and Shiba Inu have established themselves as trendsetters. Now, Pump.Fun, is taking the trend to a new level on the Solana blockchain with a unique proposition to the table–allowing users to create and trade their own tokens easily. The platform currently holds the record for the fastest-growing crypto app by revenue, hitting $100 million in just 217 days. Yet, this rapid rise raises critical questions: Is Pump.Fun genuinely redefining memecoin trading, or is it merely amplifying the speculative and unpredictable nature of this market?  This article discusses…
