Puffer Finance's UniFi solution aims to address Ethereum's fragmentation issues and improve network efficiency. This article analyzes how UniFi's Rollup Stack and Preconfirmation AVS enable seamless interoperability between L2<>L2 and L2<>L1 transactions, and their impact on the Ethereum ecosystem.

Ethereum, holding the second-largest market share in the cryptocurrency market after Bitcoin, continues to face challenges related to scalability and transaction speed. This article discusses how Solana, Sui, and Aptos emerged as formidable competitors in 2024, offering innovative solutions and positioning themselves as viable alternatives to Ethereum in the evolving blockchain ecosystem.

The SOLO protocol addresses the high participation barriers and liquidity constraints faced by Ethereum independent validators. By supporting the minting of permissionless liquid staking tokens (LSTs), SOLO lowers the entry cost for independent validators to just 1.25 ETH. It allows them to borrow to stake their otherwise illiquid portion effectively. This article details the SOLO protocol’s mechanisms, including minting and burning processes, liquidation and forfeiture handling, funding rate settings, and anti-centralization mechanisms to prevent large validators from gaining excessive control over Ethereum.

This article explores "The Verge," focused on enhancing Ethereum's verifiability, scalability, and sustainability through Verkle Trees, STARK proofs, zk-friendly consensus, the Beam Chain, and more.

This article evaluates whether Ethereum is undervalued or performing as expected by analyzing on-chain data, gas fees, and active addresses. It also explores Ethereum's future direction and evolving role in the cryptocurrency market.

Equilibrium Research has released its annual prediction report, outlining potential events and industry trends expected by the end of next year. The report covers areas such as Scaling, ZK Proving, Privacy, Consensus & P2P Networking, and User Experience.

This article introduces Molecule and its ecosystem's involvement in the decentralized science (DeSci) field, including advancing IP tokenization funding through the Catalyst platform, driving biotechnology project development with the BIO Protocol, and supporting barrier-free scientific experiments and fundraising via the pump.science platform. It also explores the potential and challenges of DeSci.

Ethereum is transitioning to ZK technology, which relies on hardware acceleration for ZK provers. Like Bitcoin mining, ZK mining could become a new form of PoW. Ethereum's economic model might eventually combine PoS and PoW in a new "hybrid consensus" model.

Vitalik Buterin discussed the ideal Ethereum wallet, focusing on key features such as cross-Layer 2 transactions, enhanced security, and privacy protection. He emphasized how the wallet could seamlessly handle multi-chain and cross-Layer 2 transfers, improve user experience, and support decentralized identity and data storage. Additionally, he highlighted the necessity of integrating privacy features, such as ZK-SNARKs for private transactions, as well as robust security to counter threats like phishing.

We should increase the gas limit at the right time, but currently, gas fees are already relatively low. The real focus should be on managing the network's long-term sustainability and performance, rather than simply raising the gas limit.

This document classifies attack methods against PoS Ethereum, focusing on the risks of a 51% attack, where an attacker controls over 51% of the staking ratio. It proposes two defenses: Close Vote Detection, which detects potential attacks, and Emergent Dynamic Finalization, which delays finalization during heightened risk.
