"EIP-1559 is poised to greatly enhance the user experience on Ethereum for processing transactions. Of course, most people like to focus on the fee burn aspect of EIP-1559 (and so do we), but the overall benefits of EIP-1559 go far beyond the fee burn and will have a positive impact on end-users." ___________________________________ 👉 Start learning with Alpe: https://link.alpeaudio.com/70to/d895de1 This episode is brought to you by Alpe Audio .

It's been a while since we first discussed why Ethereum is adamant on the shift to Proof of Stake, so as the merge gets delayed a bit yet again, I wanted to chat about why we care about proof of stake and the reasons for the shift to it.

Welcome to Blockchain bites! This is a new format where I'll cover topics, terms, debates but in short bite size takes. Think of it as your lexicon for your blockchain discussions at a cocktail party. This bite is about why crypto can't just be 'copied' - which is one of the most ridiculous arguments that keep on popping up on Twitter or in discussions with friends.

Welcome to Ethereum Audible! today we’ll be reading through David Hoffman’s Ultra Scalable Ethereum. A debate that’s been going on for a long time in the crypto community is about how to scale blockchains and the blockchain scalability trilemma. And these days it’s more relevant since we’ve got on the one hand blockchains like Solana that are ultra scalable and on the other hand Bitcoin layer 2 solutions like lightning. David Hoffman is one of the Bankless duo and has been diving deep into this ...

On Nov 6th 2020 Vitalik Buterin wrote a short article on why the Ethereum ecosystem is migrating to Proof of Stake (PoS). Despite the shift being planned for years there's a lot of discussion in the ecosystem on why Ethereum is doing this, what are the benefits to PoS over Proof of Work (PoW) and whether this migration is fair to all the players in the ecosystem. This seems like a great place to start our reads as the discussion is still alive and kicking and who better to read for our first art...
