The non-custodial liquidity staking platform ether.fi has published a self-restrictions essay and a roadmap for decentralization. To guarantee that the proportion of protocol validators and ETH self-limits does not exceed 25% of the consensus layer, self-restriction restrictions will be directly incorporated into smart contracts. The article outlines the decentralization road map, with the ultimate objective of being the most straightforward and low entry barrier technique for establishing nodes; node operations require no permission; decentralized governance; and contract rigour. Ether.fi has finished the initial phases of the single node operator integration, DVT integration, self-custody key delegation staking, and open-source smart contracts…

The crypto community is divided on a new hook for Uniswap V4 that is listed in an open-source directory. Before users can trade on a pool, the hook enables Know Your Customer (KYC) checks to be performed on them. The probability of decentralised banking protocols getting whitelisted by authorities, according to critics, is increased by the hook. With the aid of a hook, programmers can modify a piece of code without changing the program’s overall structure. This hook will let programmers use KYC verification within the decentralised financial protocol in Uniswap V4. KYC procedures are used by financial institutions to…

Blockchain in contemporary technology has had an impact on financial technology with the introduction of virtual currencies like Polkadot and Ethereum. With its scalable solution, Ethereum has attracted investors who have invested money in the initiative. On the other hand, Polkadot has improved interoperability while increasing traction rate. As a result, users can move data between blockchains. Blockchain technology, however, is proud of a brand-new platform under development called Bitcoin Spark. The new network’s unique proof-of-process validation mechanism will enhance its potential for scalability, interoperability, and security. Describe Ethereum Decentralised platform Ethereum enables blockchain users to build applications. Solidity is…

Recently, The Economic Daily warned readers about misleading information spreading that claimed banks could now swap “coins” for Renminbi (RMB). Many internet users apparently came across brief recordings that purportedly confirmed that bank offices were authorising transactions involving “coins.” They stated that people making the claims had mistakenly identified a “-type Approval Master” integrated office window in a neighbourhood citizen service centre as a teller window in a real-world bank branch. The “coin” that is the subject of online discussion has nothing to do with this business. Pi Coin, sometimes known as “Coin,” is a digital currency built on the…

According to a new analysis by blockchain analytics company Chainalysis, Latin America shows a significant preference for centralised exchanges as opposed to decentralised exchanges when compared to the rest of the world.

According to the survey, Latin American cryptocurrency users strongly prefer using centralised exchanges, and several of the nations in the area have much higher levels of crypto activity by platform type…

According to a person familiar with the situation, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) won’t appeal a court’s harsh overturn of its decision to deny Grayscale’s request to convert its bitcoin trust into a more investor-friendly exchange-traded fund, potentially paving the way for the first bitcoin ETF in the United States. The market regulator has until Friday at midnight to determine whether to challenge the court’s ruling, but the SEC will let that time pass without filing an appeal, the source added. The news was first reported by Reuters. The SEC’s rejection of Grayscale Investment’s application to turn the Grayscale…

Anyone who can find the code that might be able to disable the Solana network will receive a $400,000 reward from the Solana Foundation. This occurs as SOL, the network’s native token, has had its price fall by 8.4% over the past week as a result of many mentions in Sam-Bankman Friend’s trial. The bounty was made public as a part of the Solana Foundation’s larger security bug bounty program by Jacob Creech, the head of developer relations for the organization.

Code auditor for smart contracts and blockchain programming In reaction to shifting market realities, CertiK has downsized its personnel. Less than 15% of the staff at the company, according to co-founder and CEO Ronghui Gu, were impacted by the strategic personnel adjustment. Realigning the team structure with CertiK’s long-term strategic ambitions is the main objective of the change. The business is still dedicated to its goals and sees these adjustments as essential milestones in that direction. This choice was made as a result of a number of personnel reductions across the blockchain sector and the fact that the prices of…

Protocol for decentralised finance Holders of Frax’s partially collateralized fractional-algorithmic stablecoin FRAX can now receive yields that are equal to the interest rate on reserve balances (IORB), which is now 5.4%, thanks to the company’s introduction of sFRAX, an ERC4626 staking vault. The initial annual percentage yield (APY) of the product was 10%, but it will gradually converge to the Fed’s IORB rate of 5.4%. According to Dune Analytics, more than 150 users have already put more than $35 million into the vault. On Thursday, the price of Frax’s governance token FXS rose by 7% to $5.66, but it has…

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) sued Grayscale Investments, a corporation that manages a $16.6 billion Bitcoin Trust, but Grayscale Investments has prevailed in the case. The D.C. Circuit Court handled the case. This will make it easier for the business to convert its GBTC into a spot Bitcoin ETF. Grayscale will be the first company to accomplish this in the US as a result. Analysts keeping an eye on the situation include Timothy Peterson and Crypto Rover, who are taking into account the current 17% Grayscale GBTC discount. They predict that there will be substantial selling requirements if the…

Magic Edens has been integrated with LayerZero Labs’ native protocol, according to the company. Utilising a cross-chain infrastructure solution is the plan. Through this integration, Magic Edens will make use of the petrol station and ONFT Standard. Users can buy non-fungible tokens with the token of their choice using Gas Station by LayerZero. This lessens the need for a decentralised exchange or a bridge. Gas abstraction is used by gas stations to make the trading of gas tokens easier. Ont, or Omni-Chain Non-Fungible Tokens, is an idea that both creators and traders can use. While merchants will be able to…

A bill that would outlaw unlicensed artificial intelligence (AI)–powered recreations of people’s voices and images has been presented by a bipartisan group of US senators. Together with Republican Senators Marsha Blackburn and Thom Tillis, Democratic Senators Chris Coons and Amy Klobuchar presented the Nurture Originals, Foster Art, and Keep Entertainment Safe (NO FAKES) Act. According to the law, platforms that knowingly host unauthorised AI copycats as well as businesses or individuals that build them are both subject to liability for damages. The first offense would result in a $5,000 fine. The measure permits certain First Amendment-protected uses of unauthorized AI…
