Ethereum is marching on towards the London hardfork! There will be five key EIPs included in the London hardfork including EIP-1559 which changes the fee market and EIP-3554 which delays the difficulty bomb to December 2021. Ethereum’s testnet upgrade will first go live on Ropsten, around June 24, 2021.
Vitalik released an article explaining Verkle trees which are shaping up to be an important part of Ethereum’s upcoming scaling upgrades.

After the Osmosis Zone launch, IBC daily txs went from 236 daily IBC txs to 19,366 daily IBC txs.
