Zero-knowledge proofs are revolutionising blockchain. The two major standards SNARKs and STARKs are competing with each other, offering diverse scaling possibilities. However, everything comes at a price. Zero-knowledge proofs, explained in detail in my previous publication, may eliminate the infamous…
Lately, at Balancer we’ve moved from the Truffle development environment to using Buidler, Waffle, and Ethers. The main benefit is being able to use console.log in Solidity during debugging — it’s amazing how much of a difference this makes and for this…
A practical exercise using the Aave protocol Introduction There is always talk about the clarity of blockchain, that everything is traceable and everyone can see what was written but is it easy to access this information? How can I get data…
Ewasm is set to make Ethereum as “the world’s computer” with better performances and efficiency.
It will help scale Ethereum to a new level, which might not have been possible with EVM
Who is the founder of Ethereum? Vitalik Buterin What is the average block time in Ethereum? 14–20 seconds What is the average block size in Ethereum? 20–30KB What is the average number of transactions per second? 17–20 Is Ethereum a…
Up until this point, the supported functionality in the interface was pretty limited. so displaying all functionality on a single page wasn’t much of an issue. However, adding new features to the interface meant restructuring it somewhat.
In sharding, the history and the state of the whole Ethereum blockchain are divided into individual partitions called shards. Each shard will have its state and a history of transactions.
Beacon Chain is the heart of Ethereum 2.0. It is the base upon which the rest components like Shard, eWasm, and cross-link will be built.
It (PoS based chain) will run parallelly with the Mainnet (PoW based chain). Beacon chain is mainly made for the validators.
The combined market cap digital assets is more than $200 billion today. There are two leading cryptocurrencies Bitcoin and Ethereum, with more than $120 billion and $18 billion in market cap, respectively.
However, most of the digital assets are sitting ideal, not producing any yield. So think of $200bn worth of assets with no returns and can’t be diversified out of the digital ecosystem without selling them.
