Ethereum Founder Vitalik Buterin Calls for 'Different and Better DAOs'

Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin has argued that modern DAO design is “inefficient, vulnerable to capture, and fails utterly at the goal of mitigating the weaknesses of human politics.” In a tweet, Buterin said he once believed that systems of code and rules existing on decentralized networks could “manage resources and direct activity more efficiently and more robustly” than conventional governments and corporations. We need more DAOs - but different and better DAOs. The original drive to buil...

Scientists Crammed a Computer Into a Robot the Size of a Grain of Salt

Researchers just shrank autonomous robots down to the size of a speck of dust. And the robots can think—sort of. A team from the University of Pennsylvania and University of Michigan built microscopic machines—200 by 300 by 50 micrometers, the size of a grain of salt—that swim through liquid, sense temperature changes, make decisions on their own, and operate for months at a time. Each one costs about a penny to produce. These little robots are fully autonomous. No wires, no magnetic fields, no...

Blockchain Barely Gets a Mention as AI Dominates CES 2026 Trend Predictions

Blockchain received only a brief mention at a Consumer Electronics Show (CES) talk focused on technology trend predictions, as artificial intelligence dominated discussion about the future of consumer and enterprise technology. The CES 2026 Trends to Watch talk, held Monday, featured Brian Comiskey, senior director of innovation and trends at the Consumer Technology Association (CTA). Comiskey described the 2020s as a decade of “intelligent transformation,” driven primarily by advances in AI. “...

Ethereum Raises Data Capacity in Latest Scaling Tweak

Ethereum, the world’s second-largest blockchain network, has increased the amount of data it can handle at one time. While it’s a minor and expected change, it affects how the network handles increasing application usage and provides a clearer view of how Ethereum plans to scale as that usage continues to grow. It comes as Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin claimed earlier this week that the network’s updates have transformed it into a “fundamentally new and more powerful kind of decentralized...

Lego Debuts 'Smart Brick' at CES, Bringing Light, Sound and Silicon Into the Classic 2x4

The hottest product unveiled at CES 2026 this week? Lego's "Smart Brick," a tech-loaded 2x4 that adds lights, sounds and sensor-driven responses to traditional Lego sets—without requiring apps, displays, or external devices. The Smart Brick embeds a miniature computer inside a standard Lego form factor. At its core is a custom application-specific integrated circuit, or ASIC, smaller than a single Lego stud. The chip powers LED lighting effects, a built-in speaker with synthesized sound, an acce...

Ethereum Layer-2 Network Starknet Back Online Following Outage

Ethereum layer-2 scaling network Starknet is back online after suffering a block production issue that led to more than four hours of downtime early Monday.  The first report of slow block production took place just before 5:00 am ET, according to the network’s status page. Around that time, the network’s mainnet block production was halted as developers investigated the issue.  “Starknet mainnet block production is temporarily paused while we investigate a proving error observed on a transactio...
