Ethereum Eagle 開啓創世，用戶質押 ETH 可領取 EGL 代幣，目前協議內已質押 3553 枚 ETH

鏈聞消息，通過治理決定以太坊 Gas Limit 的協議 Ethereum Eagle （EGL）已開啓創世，當協議達到質押配額 10 萬枚 ETH 或到 8 月 13 日創世活動將結束，用戶可以在創世期間，將 ETH 質押至 EGL 的創世合約中參與發行領取 EGL 代幣，目前協議內已質押 3553 枚 ETH。

鏈聞此前報道，Ethereum Eagle 希望通過發行治理代幣 EGL 解決以太坊網絡中區塊 Gas 上限（Gas Limit）的問題，質押 ETH 的用戶將可以免費獲得 EGL 代幣，該協議將通過 PoS 投票的方式設定區塊的 Gas Limit，同時該項目的機制中將鼓勵用戶進行投票。

Bug Affecting Ethereum Network Leads to Fork

BeInCrypto –

A bug that affected older versions of the Ethereum network client Geth resulted in nodes splitting from the main network.

According to a tweet from Ethereum Foundation security lead Martin Swende, “A consensus bug hit #ethereum mainnet today, exploiting the consensus-bug that was fixed in Geth v1.10.8.” Sweden added that “Fortunately, most miners were already updated, and the correct chain is also the longest (canon),” In a follow-up tweet, Sweden said that “it was a really close shave.ug impacting over 50% of Ethereum clients leads to fork.” The bug specifically impacted v1.10.1 and earlier versions of Geth clients.

Ethereum developer Marius van der Wijden said in his own tweet that “It seems that someone found the bug we fixed in @go_ethereum v1.10.8 and exploited it causing all Geth nodes with earlier versions to split from the network. If you are running v1.10.7 or earlier please update!!!”

London burning! 100,000 ETH up in smoke after Ethereum upgrade

As Ethereum 2.0 begins to materialise following the EIP-1559 upgrade, a jaw-dropping $315 million of ETH has been burned by the new mechanism, it has been revealed.

In just the past week, the deposit contract addresses received a monumental 50,000 Ethereum (ETH) – valued at $155M – representing a significant rise in the number of interested investors.

This could, in part, be attributed to the extension of Ethereum 2.0 staking on popular Ledger devices.

The Ethereum 2.0 staking contract recently became the single largest Ethereum wallet, overtaking Wrapped Ether (WETH).

The total ETH staked with Ethereum 2.0 now stands at 7,150,594 ETH, which is worth a staggering $23bn.

Since the implementation of the London Hard Fork’s EIP-1559, the network has burned in excess of 100,000 ETH worth more than $315m.

The London Hard Fork event, alongside the highly-anticipated introduction of EIP-3554 at the start of August, drove a surge in network usage and marked the first noteworthy rise in Ethereum chain activity in more than four months.

Many attribute the 9% rise to EIP-1559, which has simplified and eased the transactional costs (gas fees) charged by the network – alongside introducing a burning mechanism to deflate the price.

What is London Hard Fork and EIP-1559?

London hard fork is a vital stepping stone for the network, ahead of the massive shift from proof-of-work (PoW) to Ethereum 2.0’s proof-of-stake (PoS) technology aimed at saving the network from near paralysis.

A hard fork occurs when there is a major alteration to the protocol of a blockchain network that results in a divergent split between the old protocol and the newer version. In a hard fork, miners must choose whether to continue validating the old blockchain or the new one.

The London hard fork was the latest update, and incorporates five new Ethereum Improvement Proposals – (known as EIPs) – which are all temporary until the permanent Ethereum 2.0 update.

EIP-1559 was an exciting proposal for the introduction of a ‘base fee’ that tracks gas fee prices across the entire Ethereum network in order to ensure accurate gas fee predictions for network users, while also introducing a deflationary measure that burns transaction fees.
