Adam Back’s Blockstream has launched Bitcoin-native smart contract programming language Simplicity, offering an alternative to Ethereum’s Solidity. Blockstream, the developer of Bitcoin’s layer-2 protocol Liquid and led by Bitcoin cypherpunk Adam Back, has launched Simplicity, a new smart contract language designed for Bitcoin. According to a Thursday announcement shared with Cointelegraph, Simplicity smart contracts will be integrated into Liquid. The company said the move marks a step forward in transforming Bitcoin (BTC) from a secure store of value into a programmable foundation for decentralized finance. The company also introduced SimplicityHL, a higher-level implementation of the language that facilitates easier development with increased abstraction. Read more

As Ethereum turns 10, leaders from Consensys, Coinbase, RedStone, Optimism and GameSquare share what the next decade could look like for the evolving network. To understand Ethereum’s future, it helps to start with its creator, Vitalik Buterin. Before launching Ethereum in 2015, he saw blockchains not just as the foundation for digital money, but as tools for identity, coordination, public trust and more. In a 2021 interview on The Tim Ferriss Show, Buterin described Ethereum as “dynamic and growing… an evolving creature.” That adaptive nature still defines the network today. On its 10-year anniversary, we asked voices from across the community: What might the next decade look like? Read more

Predictors on Myriad are testing their knowledge on the Roman Storm trial, the price of Ethereum, and how many birds will fly over Texas.

Ten years ago, Ethereum was little more than an idea on Reddit. Today, it stands as one of the most significant technological innovations in modern finance. Co-founded by Vitalik Buterin in 2013, Ethereum began with a vision to move beyond Bitcoin’s perceived limitations. Ethereum’s early days That vision sparked interest from fellow technologists, including Gavin […] The post Ethereum sets sight on becoming the ‘global computer’ in the next 10 years appeared first on CryptoSlate.

Sui Research’s new quantum-safe wallet upgrade method offers a hard fork-free solution for EdDSA-based blockchains, but does not apply to Bitcoin or Ethereum. Sui Research has introduced a cryptographic framework that could offer protection against quantum computing threats without requiring hard forks, address changes or key updates. Cryptographer Kostas Chalkias wrote in a Monday X post that the recent research paper he co-authored with Sui Research constitutes “a major breakthrough in quantum transition of ‘some’ blockchains.” He explained that while the new approach would apply to Sui, Solana, Near, Cosmos and other networks, it would not apply to Ethereum and Bitcoin. “As far as I know, this is the first backward-compatible quantum-safe upgrade path for blockchain wallets to avoid future forks or freezing accounts,” Chalkias said.

10 years on, Ethereum finally has a plan to solve the blockchain trilemma and scale the L1 to 10,000 TPS while maintaining decentralization. A decade after the first block was generated on July 30, 2015, Ethereum’s roadmap has a renewed sense of direction and purpose. Sure, the recent price increase helps a lot, but after years of mucking around with scaling via L2s, the Ethereum L1 finally has a credible path to maximal scaling while preserving maximal decentralization.  The TL;DR is that the gas limit and transactions per second (TPS) will increase multiple times a year from here on out. Validators will switch from reexecuting transactions to simply verifying zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs, enabling the base layer to hit 10,000 transactions per second. The L2s will scale up in concert to process hundreds of thousands, if not millions of TPS, and a new type of L2 called native rollups will act like programmable shards of a unified blockchain offering the same security as the base layer.

From the ICO craze and CryptoKitties to the Merge and spot ETFs, Ethereum’s first decade is a reflection of crypto’s most chaotic and innovative moments. Ethereum celebrated its 10-year anniversary on Wednesday, with renewed institutional momentum fueling hopes that Ether (ETH) could challenge its all-time high that was set in November 2021. Over the past decade, Ethereum has become the largest decentralized finance (DeFi) blockchain, with nearly $85 billion in total value locked (TVL) at the time of writing. Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum’s co-founder, circulated an early version of the white paper in 2013. The project raised $18.3 million in its initial coin offering (ICO) and officially launched in 2015 as a blockchain for smart contracts. Its cryptocurrency, Ether, now ranks as the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization after Bitcoin (BTC). Read more

Declan Fox, global product lead for Linea, said there is no exact date for the token generation event yet, but details will be shared a week before. The Consensys-developed Linea network says it will become one of the first Ethereum layer-2 networks to commit to burning Ether as part of its network design, as it shared new details of its upcoming token generation event and airdrop. Linea announced new staking and burning mechanisms for its upcoming token launch in an effort to become more aligned with the layer-1 blockchain, which it hopes will make the network the “home for ETH capital,” according to a statement sent to Cointelegraph. The move comes amid growing concern that layer-2 networks have been leeching chain activity and fee income from the Ethereum mainnet.  Read more
