Ethereum
Enthusiasm for the move to Proof of Stake is heating up, and it looks like the community is pushing for it to take place sooner than originally planned. A proposal for executing the merge was made last week.
The Beacon Chain continues to run smoothly, with no further slashing events. The validator queue, which has been full since the network launched back in December, is finally clear. With 900 validators launched every day, depositors no longer need to wait three weeks for their validators to be activated.
Bits & Bytes
- Gitcoin Grants Round 9 has started
- Tim Beiko has put out the final edition of his series The State of 1559
- The Berlin upgrade is scheduled for April 14
Cosmos
Cosmos governance proposal 41 to enable IBC transfers is currently being voted on. As expected, almost all votes are in favor of the proposal.
NuCypher
Keep and NuCypher are discussing a “hard merge” called Keanu. A merger between two large decentralized projects should be an interesting event to watch unfold.
Tezos
A proposal for Florence, the next protocol upgrade for Tezos, has been posted on the Tezos Agora forum.
NEAR and Band Protocol
Band Protocol has announced an integration with NEAR.
