Eigen What? How EigenLayer Is Putting $34B in Staked Ethereum Back to Work – Decrypt

Decrypting DeFi is Decrypt's DeFi email newsletter. (art: Grant Kempster)

Crypto Twitter has been awash the past few weeks with talk of a strange new protocol called EigenLayer.

Some are going as far as calling it the next Ethereum Meta, while others are already whipping up speculative airdrop guides. And at least one person is doing Gods work, helping us all pronounce the projects name.

So, what in the hell is EigenLayer? Well, think of it as being like blockchain security-as-a-service.

Instead of having to gather funds, hardware, and a series of validators to keep your newly-launched crypto project from getting 51% attacked (or worse), EigenLayer wants to put staked Ethereum back to work for you.

Heres how it works.

Ethereums proof-of-stake consensus mechanism means that the network is secured by economic incentives and penalties rather than massive warehouses of mining machines. So-called validators in such a network can join and begin earning ETH-denominated yield once they stake 32 ETH to the network. If, however, their validators go down or they behave maliciously by validating incorrect transactions, theyll be penalized; a portion of that 32 Ethereum gets taken away.

For reference, theres currently 19.7 million Ethereum enlisted to keep Ethereum secure, or about $34 billion todaythats more than 16% of all Ethereum currently in circulation. Yes, its a lot.

EigenLayer takes this a step further by rehypothecating all that staked ETH to serve the same security purposes but for other, newer projects.

Rehypothecation is basically another term for using the same money twice. And because that moneys being used twice, stakers who opt-in will also enjoy an even higher yield. And the more projects that build (and gain traction), the more yield opted-in stakers can earn.

Given that the asset being staked here is also Ethereum, these other projects would also be Ethereum-based. EigenLayers white paper includes bridge technologies and oracle providers that could all use this double-dipped Ethereum.

In many ways, this will also make the developers deployment experience far easier, providing confidence that their pet project will ultimately be backed by the markets second-largest crypto network.

Its an odd, very crypto-native idea, but as mentioned, its got a lot of folks fired up. ConsenSys founder Joe Lubin said EigenLayer is at the forefront of some of the most exciting work happening in Ethereum.

And in March, the project raised $50 million in a Series A round from a host of notable investors.

Its early days, of course. For now, though, all eyes are on Eigen.

Beacon Chain Update on Ethereum Network; ETH Price Analysis – The Coin Republic

Last week, the core developers of Ethereum blockchain came with patches for Prysm Labs and Teku clients. As both of these blockchains were facing finality issues. In a tweet, a Ehereum developer has noted that the Beacon chain was having some confirming transactions issues. However, the new blocks could be proposed, while the un-identified issue prevented their finalization.

Notably, this outage continued for almost 25 minutes. Then just after that day, a similar issue once again occurred that prevented block finalization for more than an hour. Regarding the recent finality issues on the Ethereum beacon chain, the self-described Ethereum Beacon Chain community health consultant also shared a video.

Furthermore, Ben Edgington, the Founder and product Lead of the Teku ETH2 Client also noted about the issue in his tweet. As he wrote, Lots of people asking how much ETH was burned by yesterdays inactivity leak. Back of envelope (assumes 8 epoch leak, 65% validators offline): About 28 ETH (c. 0.0006 ETH/offline validator). However, attestation rewards were zero for the duration, so thats ~50 ETH not issued.

At press time, the price of Ethereum (ETH) was trading at $1803.3, with a 0.40% surge in the last 24-hours. Similar to Bitcoin (BTC), ETH also shows bearish trends in its weekly and monthly price analysis. The second most traded cryptocurrency by market cap dropped by nearly 5% in recent 7-days, while noted almost 11% decrease in 1-month, according to Tradingview.

In the last 24-hours, ETH noted its low at $1788.48 while high was at $1810.38. It has 24-hour trading volume of $4.39 Billion, and has a current market cap of $221.54 Billion.

As shown in the above chart, the current trading price of ETH is above from its 100-day EMA. As the bulls just started showing their dominance, they try to push the ETH price upside. Meanwhile, this push may take the price near to its 50-day EMA. The RSI also started traveling upside in recent hours, as bulls started showing their strength.

It must be noted that currently, most of the cryptocurrencies are showing a bearish trend. According to CoinMarketCap, the global crypto market cap is $1.12 Trillion, a 0.01% decrease over the last day. Additionally, the total crypto market volume over the last 24 hours is $20.89 Billion, which makes a 37.14% decrease.

This Week in Coins: Bitcoin and Ethereum Lead Market Pullback as Dollar Rises – Decrypt

Illustration by Mitchell Preffer for Decrypt.

Despite a small midweek growth spurt on news that the U.S. Department of Labors inflation readings were lower than expected, Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) entered the weekend with moderate losses over the last seven days.

Bitcoin is down 7.9% and trades for $26,817. Even the news that the Principality of Liechtenstein will soon accept it as payment for state services could not stop the biggest cryptocurrency by market capitalization from posting a larger loss than Ethereum this week.

Bitcoin has had to compete with a rising dollar this week. The cryptocurrency typically has an inverse relationship with the dollar so the latters rise over the last two days has manifested in a pullback in Bitcoins value.

The use of Bitcoin for Ordinals NFTs also appears to be slowing down, with trading volume dropping by 50% on May 11 and remaining far short of its range throughout most of May, according to the Dune dashboard of blockchain analyst Domo.

Bitcoin transaction fees also hit a brief two-year high on Tuesday when the average price hit $31.14, according to data by BitInfoCharts. That figure is now back under $10.

Ethereum dipped 5.8% over the seven days and currently changes hands at $1,800. Its one of lighter dips in a week where, broadly speaking, the damage was light across the market.

Cryptocurrencies that dipped more than 8% this week include Polygon (MATIC), which fell 11.5% to $0.856058, Avalanche (AVAX) dropped 11% to $15.01, Toncoin (TON) sank 11.8% to $1.85, and Internet Computer (ICP) dropped 9.2% to trade at $5.16.

On Monday, American crypto exchange Bittrex filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The news comes weeks after the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) charged the company with failing to register as a broker-dealer, exchange, and clearing agency and said the agency netted at least $1.3 billion in illicit revenue between 2017 and 2022.

Back in March, Bittrex said it was winding down U.S. operations, with CEO Richie Lai citing the "current U.S. regulatory and economic environment" as reasons for the decision.

At a hearing in Washington on Wednesday, Republican and Democrat lawmakers failed to find common ground over the extent to which new regulation is needed for digital assets. Their main difficulty is deciding whether a token should be considered a security or commodity, if the former, then regulatory jurisdiction would be given to the SEC, if the latter, it would go to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

That same day, Texas lawmakers voted overwhelmingly in favor of an update to the states Bill of Rights to include the right of the people to own, hold, and use digital currencies. Its still a long way from being passed though, and still has to pass one more vote in the House, one in the Senate and a peoples vote.

Finally on Thursday The U.S. Chamber of Commerce slammed the SEC for its regulation-by-enforcement approach toward the digital asset industry. It filed an amicus brief in support of Coinbase in the exchanges ongoing court petition to get the securities regulator to clarify its rules.

The SEC has deliberately muddied the waters by claiming sweeping authority over digital assets while deploying a haphazard, enforcement-based approach, the Chamber wrote. This regulatory chaos is by design, not happenstance.

Bitcoin And Ethereum Quiver As Signuptoken.com Soars Into The … – Analytics Insight

The blockchain environment has unfolded as a captivating realm, where Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) have emerged as prized jewels, serving as valuable commodities. In Argentina, amidst the tumultuous economic landscape, BTC has served as a haven for locals seeking refuge. However, the advent of Signuptoken.com (SUT), promising up-and-coming crypto with unique features, has stirred curiosity and excitement. Its emergence has sparked wonder and speculation, hinting at a potential shift in the blockchains dynamics.

In the realm of cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin continues to hold its throne as the reigning crypto king, as evidenced by its recent all-time price high in Argentinian pesos. This remarkable achievement speaks volumes about the struggling state of the fiat currency in Argentina, which has been plagued by soaring inflation since 2018. Despite the volatility in the crypto market, BTCs popularity continues to surge in Argentina, with its current trading price of approximately ARS 6,393,170.26 or $28,954.97 (at the time of this writing), maintaining a significant value compared to other cryptocurrencies.

Signuptoken.com, a new player in the crypto sphere, may face challenges in catching up with the well-established status of BTC. Although Signuptoken.com may offer unique features and enticing opportunities, it may have a hard time surpassing BTCs dominance, given its widespread adoption and recognition in the cryptocurrency world. As BTC continues to gain momentum, SUT must navigate the competitive landscape and make a distinct mark to establish its presence and potentially compete with the reigning crypto king.

Ethereum continues to reign supreme in the crypto landscape, unfazed by recent withdrawals from its staking program which has now entered its third round. Despite investor trepidations about the enormous exodus of staked Ethereum since the advent of the Shapella upgrade on April 12, the equilibrium of staked ETH remains unwavering. This may be mainly because deposits and withdrawals of this digital asset balance out.

As per the best on-chain analytics tool Nansen, over 18 million Ether are staked, valued at a staggering $35 billion this Monday, representing an impressive 15% of the total Ether supply. Also, recent data from Token Unlocks exclaims that the insatiable appetite for staking Ether persists, with nearly a million ETH deposited since April 12.

Given the established position and popularity of Ethereum in the crypto market, newcomer Signuptoken.com may find it difficult to compete with the longstanding reputation and widespread adoption of Ethereum.

Signuptoken.com, a newbie in the blockchain space, has the potential to eventually compete with established crypto leaders like Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Bitcoin and Ethereum have a dominant position in the cryptocurrency market no doubt about that. But, Signuptoken.com may have an opportunity to carve out its niche, which its starting to do via its plethora of unique offerings, from its crypto referral to its digression from usual presale tactics. Its recent commitment to dropping 100% of its token supply upon launching has also grabbed the attention of its growing user base and potential investors.

Signuptoken.com can also outrank Bitcoin and Ethereum as it has the edge of learning from the successes and failures of the crypto giants. By analyzing the shortcomings of established cryptocurrencies, Signuptoken.com could develop a more efficient, secure, or user-friendly blockchain platform.

However, recognizing that it would be difficult and take a lot of time, money, and persistent attempts to compete with Bitcoin and Ethereums market domination is also vital. In the fiercely competitive world of cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin and Ethereum have a solid foothold thanks to their substantial user bases, solid infrastructure, and well-established ecosystems.

The blockchain landscape is known for its fast-paced nature, and Signuptoken.coms potential to surpass Bitcoin and Ethereum is yet to be revealed. However, one thing is certain: Signuptoken.com is forging a path for its growing market that will provide countless prospects for financial success.

These Ethereum NFTs escaped plunging, and its not BAYC or MAYC – AMBCrypto News

It has been a horrendous last 30 days for blue-chip Ethereum [ETH] NFTs in the market with a handful of them experiencing significant downturns in value. However, out of the top 10 collections in market capitalization, only two were able to flee from the nose-diving state.

Realistic or not, heres ETHs market cap in BTC terms

According to IntoTheBlock, these escapees were not Bored Ape Yacht Club [BAYC] or Mutant Ape Yacht Club [MAYC].

Instead, Autoglyphs, the first on-chain generative art on the blockchain, and Azuki were the ones able to salvage what was left of a widespread decreasing floor price.

The data from the blockchain insight platform showed every other collection had to deal with a double-digit decrease in price. And for BAYC, much hasnt happened since its floor price went below the 50 ETH mark.

This implied that interest in buying and selling these non-fungible tokens has waned.

However, the 4.70% and 1.44% hike in the value of the aforementioned performing assets were not able to lead them to the top of the standing in volume despite registering growth.

Despite the decrease in value of both MAYC and BAYC, they sustained the first and second positions respectively in terms of volume.

The volume describes the total number of successfully completed transactions in one collection via the Ethereum network.

Therefore, the 593,900 and 553,000 ETH recorded by both Yuga Labs-created collections means that traders were necessarily selling their stakes in the assets.

Following the drop in prices, sales volume on the Ethereum blockchain fell incredibly. According to CryptoSlam, the metric decreased by 19.89% in the last seven days. This left the volume at $450.11 million.

Furthermore, the buyer count has also shrunka 59.28% decrease within the same period. Thus, this also impacted the total transactions and wash volume negatively.

Earlier, IntoTheBlock reported that Ethereum was not the only blockchain affected by the dwindling interest. But despite a quick resurgence in February, addresses buying NFTs fell to their lowest since 2021.

Additionally, the broader Ethereum ecosystem, liquidity, and infrastructure contributed to the resilience of these NFTs before the recent dump. However, collectors and investors may not be wary of trading these assets for quick gains.

But as the NFT market continues to mature, it will be interesting to see how these lesser-known projects fare and whether they can continue to defy market trends.

Cryptocurrency Chronicles: The Rise of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the … – Analytics Insight

In the realm of investments, where excitement and potential fortune meet, cryptocurrency stands as a shining beacon. Its volatile nature and natural allure captivate seasoned traders and curious newcomers alike.

In a surprising turn of events, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies have witnessed a tremendous price rebound this year. This increasing trend comes at a time when Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has issued a warning about the impending possibility of an economic and financial catastrophe. Despite fears, the crypto market has defied predictions, attracting the interest of investors and enthusiasts alike with its steady rise. As established financial institutions confront uncertainty, cryptocurrencies have arisen as possible alternatives, providing a ray of hope in these turbulent times.

In this post, we will explore the wild west of cryptocurrency and evaluate three heavyweight contenders: Bitcoin(BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and PAT WARS (PAWS). Join us on this thrilling adventure as we examine the similarities and differences between these prominent cryptocurrencies to determine which ones reign supreme in the digital universe.

Bitcoin, the forefather of cryptocurrencies, needs no introduction.

Introduced in 2009, it has gained significant popularity and widespread adoption. It uses blockchain technology to enable transactions and runs on a decentralised network. Its underlying objective was to create a digital currency independent of any central authority and provide people with financial control. Bitcoin has emerged as a possible store of value and hedge against established financial institutions.

Bitcoins value has increased by 65% this year, beating the S&P 500s 7% rise and leaving the Nasdaq, a largely technology-focused index, well behind with barely a fourth of Bitcoins gains.

Analysts say Bitcoin has flourished amidst cryptocurrency turbulence because investors choose the more established and generally recognised cryptocurrency over lesser-known alternatives. Furthermore, more significant economic concerns like banking system instability and a slowing of interest rates rise have contributed to Bitcoins price rise.

While Bitcoin gained prominence as the first cryptocurrency, Ethereum has evolved as a platform for innovation and decentralised applications. Ethereum, launched in 2015, allows developers to create smart contracts and decentralised apps (DApps) on its blockchain. These characteristics have resulted in a thriving ecosystem of projects and protocols, broadening the scope and potential of blockchain technology.

Apart from its usability as a digital currency, Ethereum has witnessed a significant surge in value, with many investors interested in the Ethereum price forecast. This increase in value can be linked to the increased popularity of Ethereum-based tokens and the excitement around the imminent Ethereum merger.

An unprecedented event has rocked the crypto world. Something that originated from a faraway galaxy is set to become the ultimate meme currency. PAT WARS is still in its early stages, but it has the potential to attract the attention of investors as the new meme currency phenomenon.

The story follows four feline Jedis who discover a prophecy foretelling the development of an intergalactic forcea currency known as PAT WARS. This currency can put a stop to meme coin competition and restore balance as it aspires to be a decentralised, all-encompassing currency controlled by the people.

Three main challengers in the field of cryptocurrencies have emerged: Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the booming PAT WARS. As the first, Bitcoin has established itself as a decentralised digital currency and a store of value, earning widespread acceptance and use. Ethereum, on the other hand, has matured into a platform for decentralised apps and innovation, allowing developers to construct smart contracts and DApps. Meanwhile, PAT WARS, a meme currency that aims to catch the attention of investors, has developed as a new phenomenon. PAT WARS, still in its early stages, wants to disrupt the meme coin competition by becoming a decentralised, community-controlled project. PAT WARS gives a fascinating option for anyone wishing to join the ever-changing crypto world, with its unique narrative and lofty aims.

Each cryptocurrency, whether Bitcoin, Ethereum or the developing PAT WARS, has a distinct value proposition and financial prospects. So saddle on and prepare for an exciting voyage in the world of cryptocurrencies, where innovation, (positive) disruption, and financial opportunities intersect.

Ethereum Gas Fee is on the High End – Tekedia

If you have ever used Ethereum to process transactions on the Blockchain, you might have noticed that the gas fee is not cheap. Gas fee is the amount of Ether that you pay to the network for processing your transaction. The gas fee depends on two factors: the gas price and the gas limit.

The gas price is the amount of ether that you are willing to pay for each unit of gas, and the gas limit is the maximum amount of gas that your transaction can consume. The higher the gas price and the gas limit, the higher the gas fee.

Why is the Gas Fee so high on Ethereum Network?

Tekedia Capital Syndicate unveils 8 startups for the current investment cycle; deal room closes May 16to invest in Africas finest startupshere.

Tekedia Mini-MBA (June 5 Sept 2 2023) opens NEW registrations; beat early bird deadline of May 16for BIG discounts by registering here.

The main reason is that Ethereum is a popular platform for decentralized applications (dApps) that run on smart contracts. Smart contracts are pieces of code that execute automatically on the blockchain according to predefined rules.

However, smart contracts also consume gas when they are executed, and some of them can be very complex and require a lot of computation. Therefore, when there is a high demand for dApps and smart contracts on Ethereum, the network becomes congested and the gas fee increases.

There are a few ways to save on gas fees when using Ethereum. One way is to adjust your gas price and gas limit according to the network conditions. You can use tools like Etherscan or EthGasStation to check the current average gas price and the recommended gas price for fast or slow transactions.

You can also use MetaMask or other wallets that allow you to customize your gas price and gas limit before sending a transaction. However, you should be careful not to set your gas price too low or your gas limit too high, as this might result in your transaction being rejected or stuck in the network.

Another way to reduce the gas fee on Ethereum is to use layer 2 solutions or sidechains. Layer 2 solutions are protocols that run on top of Ethereum and provide faster and cheaper transactions by using different consensus mechanisms or off-chain computation.

Some examples of layer 2 solutions are Optimism, Arbitrum, Polygon, zkSync, Loopring, and StarkWare. Sidechains are independent blockchains that are compatible with Ethereum and allow users to transfer assets between them.

Some examples of side chains are xDai, Binance Smart Chain, Avalanche, and Fantom. By using layer 2 solutions or sidechains, you can avoid paying high gas fees on the main Ethereum network.

Ethereum gas fee is not cheap because of the high demand for dApps and smart contracts on the platform. However, you can reduce the gas fee by adjusting your gas price and gas limit or by using layer 2 solutions or sidechains. These DApps and smart contracts require a lot of computation and storage, which consume a lot of gas.

Moreover, Ethereum has transitioned to a proof-of-work (PoW) consensus mechanism, which requires a lot of energy and resources to secure the network. PoW also limits the scalability of Ethereum, as it can only process around 15 transactions per second.

PoS has helped stimulate lower gas fees significantly on the Ethereum network, as it will reduce the need for intensive computation and competition among miners. Ethereum is not cheap, but it is valuable.
