In January 2024, more than $23 billion worth of assets were locked in cross-chain bridges on Ethereum alone.

This technology involves switching Ethereum’s current system to “Verkle trees,” making the network more “zk-friendly” — in other words, more compatible with zero-knowledge proofs, which are methods of proving knowledge of some information without revealing that information itself. Buterin points out the current limitations with “keccak Merkle Patricia trees,” part of Ethereum’s underlying structure. The main issue is the enormous “witness sizes” — the amount of data needed to prove a transaction — which can be up to 300 MB. Such sizes are impractical for processes that…

Marzsalek…

To accomplish this, Shiba Inu has adopted two primary approaches for token burning: Manual Burns: In this method, both the Shiba Inu community and its developers have the liberty to send SHIB tokens to a designated “burn wallet.” This wallet, while publicly accessible, lacks a…
