Abstract We propose a new Layer-2 scaling technology "zkPorter" that can combine zkRollup and sharding in a highly scalable and atomically composable blockchain network. Problem #1: Transaction Throughput ≠ Scalability ⚖️ Transaction throughput is measured by the total number of transactions processed by the entire network; while scalability is measured by the number of transactions processed by a single node.
Ethereum is currently the largest blockchain network for decentralized applications (DAPPs) and the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. Since its inception in 2015, Ethereum has attracted the attention of some of the world's largest companies——many multinational corporations and Fortune 100 companies have developed on it. Of course, the vast majority of companies paid attention to Ethereum during the prosperous ICO (Initial Coin Offering) period in 2017.
This is an era of constant battles between "privacy" and "no privacy." With the rapid advancement of the internet and informatization, casual chat contents are turned into push notifications, phone numbers and shopping records are treated as commodities for sale. Our daily lives have long been under surveillance broadcast. The enormous gaps in privacy security, like black holes, fill us with anxiety. In seemingly safe times, everyone moves forward as if transparent. Data growth never stops, and in recent years with internet development it has exploded exponentially.

Decentralized trading aggregators, which were once not highly valued by venture capital institutions, are gradually becoming another decentralized finance (DeFi) application highly sought by the market, following DEXs, lending platforms, and oracles. The reason is quite understandable. With the increasing number of Ethereum DEXs, liquidity has been dispersed across various protocols or liquidity pools, leading to higher comprehensive trading costs for users. The emergence of aggregators not only significantly reduces trading costs but also improves user experience.

The importance of crypto asset custody currently lacks due attention from the industry. Besides protecting crypto asset holders' assets, it is also an important bridge connecting the crypto world with the traditional world, and its compliance has achieved significant breakthroughs recently. 01 Market Opportunities for Crypto Asset Custody In late July, the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency stated in an open letter that banks within its jurisdiction have been authorized to provide crypto asset custody services, which undoubtedly creates a friendlier policy environment for more traditional financial institutions to enter the crypto asset custody industry. However, its more important significance is,
Ethereum is now severely congested, even more so than during the peak of the ICO bubble. This is an impressive achievement for Ethereum, but also concerning. There is still some time before Ethereum 2.0 goes online, but the small island of Ethereum 1.0 is already "overcrowded". - "Ethereum 1.0" in the real world—Migingo Island- You must have heard that Ethereum 2.0 will implement sharding. Besides enhancing underlying scalability, sharding is also the method Ethereum 2.0 uses to meet user demands.
Rock, paper, scissors. Innovation beats competition. Why? Because true innovation is an order of magnitude better than before. Because innovation creates something new, it can form monopolies. This is the process of 0 to 1 described by Peter Thiel. In contrast, competition replaces what existed before and replicates it, pursues perfection, differentiating only through minor changes. Competition is psychologically unhealthy and unfavorable for value creation. Competition is 1 to N. Bitcoin is an innovation.
This article received strong support from Halo Capital, for which we express our gratitude. Ethereum blockchain was born on July 30, 2015, five years have passed since then, and we hope to deeply explore its development, changes, and challenges through this article.

Science seeks to understand the nature of things, while alchemy seeks to make things into what people want. In other words, science's main goal is truth, while alchemy's goal is to obtain controllable success. —George Soros, "The Alchemy of Finance" Economic Value of Computing Power Bitcoin is a new computing paradigm. It abstracts storage, communication, and computation from specific hardware. All nodes independently verify each transaction and new block, making choices about the chain with maximum computing power. Bitcoin achieves state replication without central coordination.

Author: Hu Tao More and more blockchain projects are moving toward DeFi, competing to seize the initiative in the next round of blockchain competition. Recently, NerveNetwork, a cross-chain project built on the NULS underlying framework, is a typical example. The project adopts a multi-layer multi-chain architecture integrating parallel chains and relay chains, defining a set of interface protocols for public blockchain networks such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, enabling various public chains to interact conveniently. As a result, BTC, ETH and other ERC20 tokens can achieve rapid transfers across different public chains.
Since Bitcoin's block reward halving was settled in May, we can see that the focus of the entire crypto industry has shifted to ETH 2.0, IPFS, and DeFi. With the overall crypto market in a "calm" situation, many DeFi project tokens have performed exceptionally well—showing 2-4 times price increases.

Written by: Maple Leaf Capital (crypto investment institution) Although COMP, BAL, and CRV are popular, LEND, BNT, and REN could drive a chemical change from pure governance to value capture. Ethereum is a digital energy commodity that powers and secures transactions and code execution, like water powering a water wheel—it is a "recyclable" resource. EIP-1559 is like alchemy, essentially converting ETH from water to a more "non-renewable" resource like oil.
Written by: Ratchet Pizza Entering 2020, an increasing number of crypto traders have had their bank cards frozen. The reason for card freezing is the same across the board: participation in OTC (Over-the-Counter) transactions, encountering "tainted money" from unknown sources. On July 2, it was reported that crypto bigwig and major OTC trader Zhao Dong was taken away by police. Wu Shuo Blockchain stated this was very likely related to OTC trading, "suspected of concealing proceeds of crime." This news caused a shock in the OTC circle, with many OTC merchants now afraid to take large new orders.
Author: JX kin In late June, DeFi, with a total market cap exceeding $7 billion, broke through the cryptocurrency "decentralized finance" ecosystem and launched on centralized exchanges. The DeFi boom was undoubtedly ignited by the lending protocol Compound's "lending-as-mining" mechanism for its governance token COMP. Following this move, Coinbase, Binance, and OKEx quickly followed suit to list COMP. Subsequently, tokens of multiple applications in the DeFi sector began entering the vision of centralized exchanges.
