Ethereum

As of February 26, 2026, on-chain data shows that Vitalik has sold 17,196 ETH in total, which has attracted considerable market attention. This article examines his original holdings, current balance, and annual sell-off history to assess the true impact.

Ethereum is a public blockchain network that supports the execution of smart contracts and the operation of decentralized applications (dApps), with ETH as its native token.

The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) is a decentralized computing environment running on the Ethereum network. It is responsible for executing smart contract code and ensuring that all nodes reach the same state.

EIP-1559 is an Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) designed to optimize how transaction fees are calculated on the Ethereum network. By introducing a dual fee model consisting of a Base Fee and a Priority Fee, it replaced the traditional gas auction system, improved fee predictability, and introduced ETH burning.

Layer 2 refers to scaling solutions built on top of the Ethereum mainnet, designed to increase transaction throughput and reduce usage costs.

On February 28, 2026, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin explored the Ethereum scaling roadmap, outlining a two-stage strategy: short-term efficiency optimization followed by a long-term transition to ZK-EVM verification. He examined the potential implications of these initiatives for Ethereum’s performance and the structural composition of ETH pricing.

This article analyzes the fundamental differences between Solana (SOL) and Ethereum across architecture design, consensus mechanisms, scaling paths, and node structure, building a clear and reusable framework for comparing public blockchains.

Ethereum Foundation Co-Executive Director Tomasz Stańczak has resigned after just 11 months in office, handing over leadership to a new management team. This article examines his reform efforts and departure statement, explores the structural tension between the Foundation's commitment to decentralization and the need for execution efficiency, and assesses ETH's current predicament as it faces rising competition and anxieties over returns.

The fundamental difference between Bitcoin and Ethereum does not lie in surface features such as "whether they support smart contracts" or "how fast transactions are processed". The real distinction runs much deeper, rooted in the very missions each system was designed to fulfill from the beginning.

GTETH is a liquid asset model that embeds ETH staking rewards within the asset itself, enabling investors to retain complete liquidity and operational flexibility without sacrificing yield. This ETH asset management solution delivers both returns and strategic adaptability, making it ideal for navigating high-volatility markets.

The article traces a comprehensive vision of infrastructure-layer redecentralization — from ZK-EVM combined with block-level access lists bringing full nodes back to laptop-runnable levels, to Helios light clients enabling verifiable RPCs, ORAM/PIR for private queries, social recovery replacing fragile mnemonics, IPFS-hosted dapp UIs, and FOCIL’s forced inclusion of transactions to resist censorship.

In today’s crypto market, where high volatility and swift sector rotation are the norm, traditional ETH staking is exposing its liquidity limitations. GTETH overcomes these challenges with built-in yield and a no-lockup structure, giving ETH both earning potential and mobility. As a result, GTETH stands out as an asset management tool that aligns with the pace and demands of modern markets.

The article provides an in-depth analysis of Ethereum's predicaments and missteps on its "rollup-centric" roadmap, offering a comprehensive reflection on the underlying causes of its imbalances across technology, economic incentives, and cultural structure.

Vitalik has publicly dismissed the original concept of Layer 2 as Ethereum’s “branded sharding,” marking the end of the five-year rollup-driven narrative. This article analyzes gas costs, the stages of decentralization, L1 scaling acceleration, and the commercial realities facing Layer 2 to explore why the Ethereum mainnet is once again becoming faster and more affordable—and what this shift means for projects such as Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, and zkSync. As L1 takes on scaling directly, the foundational logic behind Layer 2 is undergoing a thorough reassessment.

The Ethereum Foundation announced the upcoming launch of the ERC-8004 standard—a new protocol designed to provide on-chain identity and reputation systems for AI Agents. Alongside it, the accompanying x402 payment protocol will establish a standardized mechanism for value settlement among AI agents. This article comprehensively explains the design principles, technical functions, and ecosystem positioning of these two standards, while also outlining key participants and projects within ecosystems such as Ethereum, Base, and Solana.
