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

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.

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
