Nethermind’s Solidity to Cairo transpiler ‘Warped’ to Starknet

An Ethereum based development company, Nethermind has announced the deployment of Uniswap onto Ethereum layer-2 network StarkNet.The announcement was made by Jorik Schellekens on 8th October. In his blogpost, he announced that the company has been able to successfully transpile and compile Uniswap v3 on Warp which will ensure greater scalability. Nethermind’s Warp project is built primarily to facilitate the migration of Ethereum applications to StarkNet.

Offchain acquires Prysmatic Labs in a bid to expand Arbitrum

Offchain Labs has made an announcement to acquire Prysmatic Labs, the Ethereum core developers team. It was behind the architecture of The Merge and engineered the transition of the Ethereum blockchain to Proof-of-Stake mechanism. Prysmatic Labs is Ethereum’s most prominent Layer1 team and the integration of the two should be seen as a step forward to enhance Ethereum’s scalability.

Best of Devcon VI Bogotá

Devcon is an intensive introduction for new Ethereum explorers, a global family reunion for those already a part of our ecosystem, and a source of energy and creativity for all.
Devcon is hosted to educate and empower the community to build and use decentralized systems. And it is a conference for builders of all kinds: developers, designers, researchers, client implementers, test engineers, infrastructure operators, community organizers, social economists, artists, and more.

World News

Largest Ethereum staking service, LIDO, launches on L2 arbitrum and optimism

The rate at which Ethereum’s network churns out new Ether tokens on a daily basis has dropped by a staggering 97% following the proof-of-stake upgrade in September. Per Delphi Digital’s analysis, net daily emissions have dropped from over 12,000 tokens before the Merge to under 4,000 ETH post-merge. The pattern marks a milestone in Ether’s chain as the network achieved deflationary status for the first time since its PoS upgrade, a Coinbase report explained. More coins were burned validating transactions than were issued since September 15 when the update went live. ETH’s price was over 6% down on 24-hour charts at press time despite the token’s supply hitting deflation.

Popular Crypto Analyst: Ethereum Will Soon Start One Of The Biggest Bull Markets Run

Crypto analyst Moustache believes Ethereum could soon start one of the biggest bull market runs. Moustache cited Ethereum’s price trajectory of 2016-2017 as an example, drawing comparisons on how Ethereum’s present price pattern is almost identical to its historical price data of 2016-2017.

European Commission Prepares Pilot For Ethereum DeFi Surveillance

A public call for tender was launched by the EU Commission last week. The call is for a study geared toward developing automated monitoring systems and compliance oversight for decentralized finance. DeFi operations in the Ethereum ecosystem are the main target for the commission’s so-called “embedded supervision”. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission also hinted that oversight for Ethereum may be required after the proof-of-stake upgrade in September.

Projects Update

Shandong: pre-Shanghai upgrade testnet, Lodestar + Ethereum JS EL client

EF Javascript announces the launch of an early Pre-Shanghai testnet they are calling "Shandong". This is an experimental testnet run in cooperation with EF DevOps which activates a set of selected Shanghai-considered EIPs for early client testing.

The testnet activates the first five EIPs from the list Marius posted.

So this is:

  • EIP-3540: EVM Object Format (EOF) v1
  • EIP-3651: Warm COINBASE
  • EIP-3670: EOF - Code Validation
  • EIP-3855: PUSH0 Instruction
  • EIP-3860: Limit and meter initcode

Polygon zkEVM Public Testnet: The Next Chapter for Ethereum

Polygon announces Polygon zkEVM in July , but also a big milestone for Ethereum and the whole industry. They proposed to scale Ethereum with performant zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs within an Ethereum Virtual Machine-equivalent environment; This was a major step towards the seamless scaling solution that the community had long been hoping for. To get started, check out the documentation and start building on the testnet today, and read on for all the details.
