After months of hard work from the eth2 research team, along with Consensys and DeepWork Studio, we’re happy to announce the release of the eth2 validator launchpad (testnet version). We’re releasing it now so that you can keep track of, and make deposits into, the upcoming Medalla multi-client testnet. But we’ll continue to fine-tune the interface in the run-up to mainnet launch. The idea behind the launchpad is to make the process of becoming an eth2 validator as easy as possible, without compromising on security and education. In contrast to using a third-party service, running your own validator comes with…

Homepage > News > Editorial > The twin tracks of AI progress: Ad hype vs tech realities You could have said it last year or the year before, but it’s still true. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the biggest tech bandwagon since blockchain. But it’s confusing because there are two independent stories about what’s happening. First, there’s the hype. Today, AI is more of a “brandwagon,” with the likes of Coca-Cola shouting from the rooftops about their AI credentials.  Coke’s Christmas ads come—provocatively—with the label “GENERATED BY A.I.” The happy families and trucks rolling through snowy streets are all AI fantasies, no doubt carefully…

A sophisticated attack is targeting web3 professionals, tricking them into running malicious code on their systems during fake interviews as part of a lucrative offer from crypto scammers disguised as recruiters. On Dec. 28, on-chain investigator Taylor Monahan flagged a new scheme being leveraged by bad actors who claim to be recruiters for prominent crypto firms to approach targets with lucrative job offers on platforms like LinkedIn, freelancing platforms, Telegram, etc. Once the victim is interested, they are redirected to a video interviewing platform dubbed “Willo | Video Interviewing,” which isn’t malicious in itself but is designed to make the…

Ethereum can be simple enough to understand from a bird’s-eye view: Decentralized applications powered by the same sort of crypto-economic guarantees that underpin Bitcoin. But once you’ve zoomed in to, say, a street-level view, things get complicated rapidly. Even assuming one has a strong grasp on proof-of-work, it’s not immediately clear how that translates to a blockchain doing more than keeping track of everyone’s unspent transaction outputs. Bitcoin uses computational work to decentralize money. Ethereum uses computational work to decentralize abstract computation. Wut? That abstraction is called the Ethereum Virtual Machine, and it’s the centerpiece of the Ethereum protocol, because…

contributor Posted: December 30, 2024 Solana’s transaction count has increased recently, but market activity suggested that sellers dominated. On the chart, SOL remained within a bullish pattern that could propel it back to its previous all-time high. After achieving a new all-time high in December, Solana [SOL] has retraced, losing 18.18% over the past month. However, the narrative appears to be shifting as the asset has gained 7.09% in the past week and 5.42% in the last 24 hours. Despite the apparent bullish momentum, uncertainty persists. The overall structure leans bullish, but recent selling pressure raises questions about the sustainability…

Asset management company Volatility Shares has submitted with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) an application to list a Solana futures exchange-traded fund (ETF).
