Ethereum News

First described in a 2013 whitepaper by programmer Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum (ETH) is a cryptocurrency and blockchain platform that allows developers to create programs and run smart contracts using its native language. It can thus be viewed as a virtual computer, whose resources are paid for using Ether. In 2020, Ethereum began the transition to Ethereum 2.0, in which its proof-of-work consensus mechanism is replaced by a proof-of-stake model. The aim of the upgrade is to increase Ethereum’s scalability and security.

    Ocean Network Builds ‘Airbnb for Compute’ Network Using Idle GPUs

    From a computation perspective, 2026 is starting to look a lot like the brutal realities of finding housing in a high-cost-of-living city: it’s a seller’s market, and it’s expensive. Demand for compute is higher than ever, with hyperscalers, AI firms, and even gamers pushing demand to record levels amid an ongoing GPU shortage. And as if that shortage weren’t enough, buyers and suppliers also have to contend with highly variable demand, which can change massively throughout the day or week, not...

    The exploit that drained roughly $292 million from KelpDAO’s cross-chain bridge over the weekend was “likely” the work of North Korea’s Lazarus Group, specifically its TraderTraitor subunit, LayerZero said in a preliminary analysis on Monday. Attackers drained 116,500 rsETH, a liquid restaking token backed by staked ether, from the KelpDAO bridge on Saturday, setting off withdrawals across the decentralized finance sector that pulled more than $10 billion out of lending protocol Aave.
