How Sharks, Whales Are Showing Interest in Ethereum [ETH] These Days

  • Ethereum whales are accumulating ETH in significant amounts
  • Validators show interest in Ethereum, despite declining revenue

With all the attention in the crypto-space being directed towards the FTX saga, whales and sharks have been accumulating ETH under the radar.

Santiment, a leading crypto-analytics firm, recently tweeted that addresses holding 100 to 100k ETH were capitalizing on the altcoin’s price drop. In fact, they have been accumulating $ETH massively. The platform also revealed that the last time whales accumulated so much ETH, there was a price surge of 50% on the charts.

  • 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?

    State growth and its relationship to Ethereum’s gas limit are widely misunderstood. It is commonly believed that state growth is Ethereum’s primary scaling bottleneck. However, discussions of state growth are often held back by imprecise terminology and a lack of detailed quantitative evidence.
  • Ethereum: The Infinite Story Machine 💫

    Yesterday, the first issue of the new ETH Investors Club (EIC) magazine went live digitally, with physical copies redeemable via NFTs on the way.
