Ethereum Sees Record-Breaking MEV Rewards in Recent Blocks

On July 31, 2023, Ethereum experienced some of its largest Miner Extractable Value (MEV) reward blocks in history, according to blockchain researcher Eric Conner. MEV refers to the amount of value that miners can extract from a blockchain by reordering transactions and manipulating the order in which they are processed.

The four largest MEV reward blocks produced on that day were: 584 ETH in slot 6,992,273; 345 ETH in slot 6,993,342; 247 ETH in slot 6,992,050; and 51 ETH in slot 6,993,346. These blocks highlight the increasing importance of MEV rewards for Ethereum miners, which have now surpassed block rewards and transaction fees as the primary source of revenue for miners.

The 133rd Ethereum ACDC meeting: The goal is to complete the devnet within 7-10 days

The Ethereum developers held their 133rd ACDC conference call. First, they outlined the latest research on Ethereum protocol confirmation rules. Then, they discussed Pectra updates related to EIP-7547 and CFI states, and decided to put them on hold temporarily. They also updated the v1.5.0-alpha.1 specification. Regarding the implementation updates for devnet-0, most teams are making progress, but there are also some unexpected complexities. The goal is to complete devnet within 7-10 days.

The Future of Ethereum: Use Cases (Part 1)

In our 4-part series named “The Value of Ether”, we have discussed in detail the framework in which we think it is most appropriate to link value accrual to ETH token holders with the underlying mechanics that operate the Ethereum blockchain. More specifically, we have laid out a case on how increased usage of the network has an impact on supply dynamics and can therefore have a knock-on effect on the value of the Ether token.

Introducing eoracle - the Ethereum Oracle

Ethereum and Bitcoin faced challenges that were overcome with a very cautious approach, resulting in an extraordinary case study for global human coordination. Adding real-world data through oracles as another layer on top of it is a very promising next step. However, so far, we have taken this step forward without the same caution that is fundamental to the journey toward a decentralized ecosystem. Perhaps we were too close to the problem, focusing only on the outcome - making data accessible - and not being mindful enough about the process allowing it.

How to purchase Ethereum GAS in advance

This topic introduces a method for purchasing gas on Ethereum. Technically it is a fully on-chain Ethereum gas futures market. The volatility of gas prices, primarily driven by network demand fluctuations, significantly obstructs user experience on Ethereum due to unpredictable costs. This solution aims to mitigate that issue.

How to hard-fork to save most users’ funds in a quantum emergency

Suppose that it is announced tomorrow that quantum computers are available, and bad actors already have access to them and are able to use them to steal users’ funds. Preventing such a scenario is the goal of quantum-resistant cryptography (eg. Winternitz signatures, STARKs), and once account abstraction is in place, any user can switch to using a quantum-resistant signature scheme on their own schedule. But what if we don’t have that much time, and a sudden quantum transition happens long before that?
