Bitcoin maximalists have proved to be highly staunch supporters of the crypto asset. For more than a decade, they have stayed as a united front, but the advent of Ordinals shook up the long-standing narrative. 2023 will be known for many things, one of them being – the Bitcoin community’s split into two warring factions.

Risks of Overloading Consensus Layer Over the years, several proposals have emerged suggesting the use of...

Vitalik Buterin encouraged the deployment of Zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machines (zk-EVMs) on the Ethereum mainnet. In a blog post, Buterin stated that the zk-EVMs would speed up Ethereum’s verification process without affecting the network’s decentralization and security. zk-EVMs to Interact With Ethereum’s Multi-Client Philosophy According to the Russian-Canadian programmer, Ethereum maintains its security and decentralization through its multi-client philosophy, which...

Popular on the Ethereum blockchain, zk-proofs are also coming to the Bitcoin network. ZeroSync Association is bringing zk-proofs (Zero Knowledge) to Bitcoin (BTC) even as cryptographic techniques become popular on the Ethereum blockchain. Reports state that ZeroSync, a Swiss non-profit association, received sponsorship from crypto investment platforms Geometry Research and StarkWare Industries. The newly-formed association already has a working prototype, allowing users to validate the...

According to reports, the Polygon zkEVM Mainnet Beta offers lower gas fees and could see wider adoption of Ethereum scaling technology.  The Polygon zkEVM Mainnet Beta went live on Monday, March 27th, facilitating the deployment of smart contracts with increased finality and reduced costs. The release of the zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine beta to the public comes days after rival Matter Labs released its own zkEVM. One of the main attractions of the Polygon zkEVM Mainnet Beta is...

Ethereum’s Co-Founder – Vitalik Buterin – recently sent 200 ETH (approximately $350,000 at current valuations) to an address belonging to the crypto exchange Kraken and 500 ETH (over $875,000) to the DeFi protocol Reflexer.
