Key Takeaways

  • Tesla Motors, Block (formerly Square), and Blockstream are partnering up to mine Bitcoin in Texas using Tesla’s battery and renewable energy technology. 
  • Ethereum (ETH) developers tested and completed a shadow fork successfully on the mainnet. ETH developer Tim Beiko released an FAQ summarising the status of the merge, addressing multiple questions from the Kiln merge to withdrawals and sharding. 
  • Arbitrum launched its full featured Nitro devnet, claiming that it features “reduced fees, increased capacity, and an overall faster experience”. The launch begins on ETH’s Görli testnet, followed by the migration of the Arbitrum Rinkeby testnet to the Nitro stack, and then integration with Arbitrum One. 
  • Cronos (CRO) saw a +9.87% increase in total transactions to 30.40M, while its TVL declined to US$ 3.85B (-3.82% week-on-week). The total number of wallet addresses now stands at 610,312, up +14.33% from last week.
