According to @ai_9684xtpa monitoring, Ethereum ICO participants 0x3A0...9f8FE deposited 10,000 $ETH each, worth 73.56 million US dollars, into Renzo and Swell's accounts eight hours ago; they have now become Renzo's fourth largest personal staking address🏆. This OG once received 314,807 ETH from the Genesis address on July 30, 2015, at a cost of only $0.31😲, and also received 4 million DAI from the Ethereum Foundation.

Ethereum Foundation researcher Mike Neuder wrote a document titled "Issuance Issues" that supports adjusting token issuance to solve some of the current issues in Ethereum, including maintaining the feasibility of independent staking relative to liquidity staking protocols and ignoring high levels of staking that could harm staking rewards. Neuder advocates for reducing issuance in Ethereum's next upgrade, "Electra," but other researchers and developers strongly reject this position. Opponents believe that the current push to adjust Ethereum's issuance curve is a complete overreaction to unfounded centralization concerns, and that the proposal's goals are unclear, and the current issuance curve has not caused value erosion.

The market shows that ETH has fallen below $3,500 and is now trading at $3,499.39, a 2.07% drop within the day with large market fluctuations. Please be prepared for risk control.

According to data from Dune Analytics, the number of validators on the Ethereum network reached one million, with 32 million ETH staked, accounting for 26% of the total supply. Venture capitalist and Ethereum advocate Evan Van Ness stated that the current amount staked may be too much. Gabriel Weide, who operates a staking pool, believes that too many validators could ultimately lead to transaction failures. Meanwhile, Peter Kim, the engineering lead for Coinbase Wallet, stated that while the number of validators is "impressive," the figure is "artificially inflated" by the 32 ETH limit. However, he hinted that this situation may soon change. As the number of validators continues to increase, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin proposed a way to improve network decentralization. On March 27th, Buterin published a blog post proposing to punish validators based on their average failure rate. If there are many validator failures within a given time slot, each failure will be punished more severely. Vitalik believes that this method could reduce the advantage of large ETH stakers over small stakers.

According to DeFiLlama data, the trading volume of Ethereum-based DEX on March 26 was 2.56 billion US dollars, ranking first. The daily trading volume of BSC-based DEX was 1.852 billion US dollars, ranking second; the daily trading volume of Solana-based DEX was 1.369 billion US dollars, ranking third.

According to IntoTheBlock data, the Bitcoin network fee this week was about $17.2 million, a decrease of 15% compared to the previous week. The Ethereum network fee was about $116 million, a decrease of 41% compared to the previous week, and speculation on Meme coins has slowed down significantly. Bitcoin saw a net outflow of $380 million from exchanges, which is a slower pace than the previous week's over $700 million. In addition, ETH set a record for the largest weekly net inflow to CEX since September 2022 (about $720 million).

According to L2BEAT data, the current total value locked (TVL) in Ethereum Layer2 is $36.38 billion, with a 7-day decrease of 2.23%. The top five locked values are:

According to SpotonChain monitoring, in the past 24 hours, 3 long-term traders/fund addresses have transferred 32,527 ETH (approximately $109 million) to CEX, including:

Blockchain analyst Yu Jin said in a post that a whale who previously spent 10.51 million USDT to buy 3,113 ETH sold all of the ETH for 10.17 million USDT just 30 minutes ago. In just an hour and a half, the whale lost another 340,000 USDT.

This topic introduces a method for purchasing gas on Ethereum. Technically it is a fully on-chain Ethereum gas futures market. The volatility of gas prices, primarily driven by network demand fluctuations, significantly obstructs user experience on Ethereum due to unpredictable costs. This solution aims to mitigate that issue.
