TL;DR

Vitalik's EthCC talk

At the Ethereum Community Conference in France Thursday, the Ethereum
co-founder shared his vision for future developments well beyond the
network's move to proof of stake. And, to top it all off, Buterin has
even given each of those planned upgrades rhyming names.

The Merge

The Surge

The Verge

The Purge

The Splurge

Yes, Vitalik Buterin introduced these terms at the beginning of the
conference. He believes that Ethereum will eventually go through five
stages. When Ethereum switches to Proof-of-Stake, it will be The Merge.
Sharding will be implemented as part of The Surge, allowing Ethereum to
reach 100,000 transactions per second. Verkle trees are introduced by
The Verge, which lowers the amount of data validator nodes must hold.
The hard disc space required for validators will require less after The
Purge. Implementing "all of the other enjoyable stuff" is what is
meant by The Splurge.

After The Merge, Vitalik Buterin estimates that Ethereum development is
only "55 percent complete," and he also stated that The Merge testing
is 90% complete.

Polynya's blog post on '4844 and done'

Polynya claimed that danksharding should be abandoned by Ethereum. In
his blog post, he goes on to add that after protodanksharding is put
into place, we won't be able to fully utilise the scale that it
provides. We'd need to roughly 1,000 times as much activity on rollups,
500 times as much activity on Ethereum mainnet, or 100 times as much
activity as there is in the current blockchain industry to saturate
protodanksharding, even with advanced data compression techniques being
gradually implemented on rollups. There is plenty of room for expansion
without the need of danksharding. (Addendum: Syscoin is developing a
solution akin to protodanksharding and estimates a comparable volume of
data being "good enough").

Aave V3 has been deployed on the Goerli testnet

As per the guidance of the Ethereum foundation and major infrastructure

Blockchain.com Cuts 25% Workforce Amid Crypto Bear Market

Blockchain.com is closing its headquarters in Argentina and scrapping
plans to expand its team there. It will lay off 150 employees, or 25% of
the workforce. Employees in the UK and the US will receive job
replacement aid through a third party and, depending on the nation,
severance compensation. Additionally, CEO salary and executive salaries

company is currently suffering with a $270 million shortfall.
