Ethereum’s Highly Awaited “London Hard Fork” Is Now Alive
In the past, there has always been a challenging customer experience for Ethereum users. The blockchain has been facing a long-standing scalability problem with a highly unpredictable network and exorbitant transaction fees, which have not been sustainable to most retail traders and sometimes annoy its biggest fans.
In recent months, the problem has worsened, thanks to the increased interest in nonfungible tokens, mostly built on Ethereum’s blockchain, and the explosive growth of the decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, which mainly use the blockchain.
Thursday’s changes to the code are designed to fix most of such problems by destroying or “burning” Ether coins and changing the way transactions fees function so that they are more predictable. Read More

Decentralization Empowering People
We live in an increasingly interconnected world with 4.66 billion people connected via the internet. We pay each other, share data, and communicate with each other within seconds. This is all seemingly wonderful, but the truth is we are not connected with each other. Instead, we are connected to centralized multinational companies and data merchants we are forced to trust with everything we do.
It’s a scary reality that most people are living in today; however, decentralization is the future. The transition from centralized platforms to decentralized ones is going to be the most profound and disruptive change we’ll ever see in our lives.
What is decentralized finance? An expert on bitcoins and blockchains explains the risks and rewards of DeFi
Fervent proponents of cryptocurrencies and the blockchains they run on have promised a lot.
To them, these technologies represent salvation from corporate power over the internet, government intrusions on liberty, poverty, and virtually everything else that ails society.

Crypto social governance will lead to online freedom
The new era of social media platforms must uphold the values of decentralization, democratization, and transparency.
The saying, “Everything in moderation, including moderation,” has taken on new meaning since Facebook outsourced responsibility for content moderation to its Oversight Board following the violent events that occurred at the United States Capitol back on Jan. 6, 2021.

Ethereum 2.0: What Is It and Why Is It So Important?
Ethereum began as a spark in the eye of co-founder Vitalik Buterin’s back in 2013. That’s when he released the whitepaper for the project, though the Ethereum network wouldn’t see the light of day until 2015.
In between, there was the Ether sale in 2014, which is when early buyers could scoop up some of the now second-biggest cryptocurrency using bitcoin. Back then, Ether fueled the Ethereum network as a payment method for transactions on the network, and years later it stills serves that purpose. Read More
