Ethereum News

Ethereum (ETH) was launched in 2015 by Vitalik Buterin and a team of co-founders as the world's first programmable blockchain, enabling smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps) that extend far beyond simple peer-to-peer transactions. After transitioning from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake consensus through "The Merge" in 2022, Ethereum now processes transactions more efficiently while maintaining its position as the foundation for decentralized finance (DeFi) and Web3 innovation.

The Ethereum ecosystem encompasses thousands of decentralized applications, from DeFi protocols like Uniswap and Aave to NFT marketplaces, gaming platforms, and layer-2 scaling solutions like Arbitrum and Polygon. Developers, validators, and users interact within this programmable economy where ETH serves as both a digital currency and the fuel powering smart contract execution through gas fees.

CoinDesk covers all aspects of Etherum, from protocol upgrades and scaling developments to DeFi innovation and regulatory implications. Our reporters track everything from Ethereum's roadmap milestones and staking developments to the broader implications of programmable money and decentralized autonomous organizations.

Miner Chandler Guo Expects 90% of PoW Miners Will Go Bankrupt

Some miners have turned to a proof-of-work (PoW) fork of Ethereum so they can continue mining. Chandler Guo, one of the fork's strongest advocates, explains why he thinks only 10% of miners using PoW to mine ETHPoW (the token of the Ethereum Merge fork) or ETC (the token of Ethereum Classic) will ultimately survive.

Miner Chandler Guo: ETHPoW Is 'the Home' of Ethereum, 'So What' if It's a Zombie Chain

Even if Ethereum's proof-of-work chain becomes a zombie chain, "it doesn't matter," miner Chandler Guo says, adding that it is the "original home of Ethereum." If the proof-of-stake chain runs into trouble with regulators, "you will be welcomed back home."
