Key Takeaways

Ethereum (ETH) merged on Kiln, its public testnet, ahead of its eventual change to a proof-of-stake (PoS) network. Meanwhile, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin introduced EIP-4844, which proposes an upgrade known as Proto-Danksharding. This introduces a new “blob-carrying” transaction type and lays the initial technical groundwork for ETH’s transition to sharding.
Former members of Meta’s defunct stablecoin project Diem raised USD 200M to build a new layer 1 blockchain called Aptos. The team launched their public Devnet, welcomed developers, and made their codebase open source.
Layer 2 solution Optimism raised $150M in Series B funding at a $1.65B valuation from Paradigm and Andreessen Horowitz.
Cronos (CRO) saw a +7.52% increase in total transaction to 23.17M, while its TVL grew to $3.27B (+20.75% week-on-week). The total number of wallet addresses now stands at 460,891, up +4.15% from last week.
