About 86 million ETH is held on non-exchange wallets containing enough Ether for staking on ETH 2.0, the Cointelegraph reported. As the crypto community is anticipating Ethereum 2.0, a large number of Ether (ETH) holders already have enough ETH for staking on the network. Nearly 80% of total Ether (ETH) supply is being held by non-crypto […]
Ever since Charles Hoskinson issued an update on “Shelley,” Cardano’s price and community have adopted a bullish mood, the Cointelegraph writes. Cardano (ADA) has seen its value increase by around 50% since May 25. This recent value hike comes in the wake of project co-founder Charles Hoskinson revealing the roadmap for Cardano’s much-hyped “Shelley” upgrade via a […]
Ethereum’s consensus algorithm is not the only thing changing with the launch of Eth 2.0. The underlying cryptography itself is getting an overhaul based on leading research out of the Electric Coin Company. Called BLS12-381, the new elliptic pairing curve will securely coordinate transactions on the proof-of-stake (PoS) Eth 2.0 network, while opening up opportunities […]
Once Ethereum becomes a proof-of-stake blockchain, what will happen to the ETH miners, and what will they do? As Ethereum is finally set to launch its Ethereum 2.0 upgrade later this year, putting an end to a long streak of delays, the network will start moving toward a proof-of-stake model. Consequently, the network will abandon the proof-of-work consensus algorithm, leaving Ether (ETH) […]
As Ethereum prepares to shift to a PoS blockchain, interest in staking crypto is growing. Here is a list of the biggest blockchain staking platforms. The debate over which consensus algorithm is right for blockchain is long overdue. While proof-of-work remains popular with Bitcoin (BTC), interest in proof-of-stake protocols has been picking up speed, especially with the planned shift of […]
Tron describes the collaborative interest it shared with hardware wallet, Ledger, in adding TRX to Ledger Live. NEWS Tron described its recent listing on Ledger wallet’s Ledger Live software as a move for both parties to continue the expansion of the crypto space. “It was in our mutual interest, to further develop and promote the […]
After the proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus algorithm will be implemented in Ethereum’s (ETH) blockchain, it would become more secure and costly to attack than Bitcoin (BTC), co-founder Vitalik Buterin has stated. Buterin has voiced this opinion during Devcon 5, the Ethereum developers conference that took place in Osaka on Oct. 8–11. He specifically noted that — after the […]
Code for ethereum’s highly-anticipated proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain is on course to be finalized as early as sometime next month, the CoinDesk writes. In a bi-weekly call between ethereum developers, Ethereum Foundation researcher Justin Drake said that code specifications for the first phase of ethereum’s transition to a proof-of-stake network were “on track” to be finalized by June 30. Such […]
