What should we do now that the crypto market is extremely bearish?
Ethereum & Layer-2s On-chain Data Highlights
Both the Layer-2s and Ethereum ecosystems showed signs of a slight expansion over the past week, as measured by data indicators such as the number of active addresses and the total value of Ethereum that was locked up in L1.
These increases were observed in both of the ecosystems. Although it is anticipated that the cryptocurrency market will experience a number of ups and downs in the future, the creator of the cryptocurrency will always keep a stable state in order to continue making contributions to society and creating new things.
Weekly Highlight News
Ethereum News
StarkWare has announced that StarkNet Mainnet alpha upgraded to v0.10.2
Mainnet launched StarkNet almost a year ago. They started building StarkNet by focusing on functionality. Now, they improve performance with a series of steps to improve StarkNet.
Expect an improved TPS in the upcoming StarkNet versions.
• Sequencer parallelization – already deployed on Mainnet!
• A new rust implementation for the Cairo VM
• Sequencer re-implementation in rust
Coinbase Wallet integrates Optimism Goerli ETH directly into their wallet
Coinbase’s non-custodial wallet service will begin offering support for Ethereum scaling project Optimistic Ethereum’s testnet, according to an announcement by Optimism, the startup behind the project.
It’s the first tie-up between a popular wallet service and an Ethereum “Layer 2” project based on a technology called Optimistic Rollup.
Optimistic Rollup is a scaling approach that uses cryptography to reduce the amount of data that must be processed by the main blockchain, generally by doing most of the computation off-chain.
Starting today, Wallet users will be able to view their balances and send transactions using Optimism’s testnet “safely and securely”
Phantom Wallet now supports Ethereum and Polygon
Phantom users will now be gaining access to a rich ecosystem of projects built on Polygon and Ethereum.
• The upgraded wallet will let users see all holdings and NFTs in one place.
• It will also allow connecting to dApps on $SOL, $MATIC, and $ETH.
In addition to safe storage, Phantom also brings cutting-edge security features such as Burn NFT to remove spam NFTs and automated warnings around probable malicious transactions. Phantom users will now be gaining access to a rich ecosystem of projects built on Polygon and Ethereum.
