Coinbase is reducing workforce by 18%
As the cryptocurrency market is currently declining significantly (also known as a bear market), large organisations are reducing their workforces, which is often what happens in a down market. Thus, Brian Armstrong, the CEO of Coinbase, said today that the company has written an email to all of its employees alerting them that they will be shrinking by 18%. You may view a copy of the mail that has been made public below.

BlockFi explains its relation with Celsius
As we all know, a lot has occurred since the great regression in the cryptocurrency markets began, and Celsius yesterday announced that they are halting all transactions (refer to Ethereum Bulletin #16). BlockFi, one of its rivals, also experienced some backlash, so they released a thread reassuring people that they never had any connections with Celsius before and that they do not hold any stETH principally or as collateral.
Additionally, they have stated their desire to submit or file a draught registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC in connection with the offering of BlockFi Yield.
To address concerns raised due to the actions of other platforms in our industry, we wanted to share the following:

1) BlockFi has no exposure to Celsius and we have never worked with them as a partner.
2) BlockFi does not hold any stETH principally or as collateral.
The modular Ethereum stack
Oisin Kyne from Obol Network created a thread explaining the function of modular Ethereum stacking, in which you can have multiple execution, consensus, and validator clients all working together to ensure your validators are resilient to bugs, attacks, and outages. This will happen after the Ethereum PoW consensus protocol gets upgraded to PoS protocol after the merge.
The modular Ethereum stack.

Superfluid has announced prototype for the world's first cross-chain asset streaming bridge
Superfluid along with ConnextNetwork andNomadxyz_have announced that they have built a working prototype for the world's first cross-chain asset streaming bridge. This will help users move their assets across the chains easily which will include paying, receiving and moving assets from one chain to another. However, it is currently deployed on the test network for obvious reasons.
Today, we’re thrilled to announce we’ve built a working prototype for the world’s first cross-chain asset streaming bridge with @ConnextNetwork and @Nomadxyz_ 🤝 ✨
