Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko cast doubt on the decentralization and security of Ethereum’s layer-2 (L2) scaling networks during a heated debate on Sunday. Layer-2 scaling networks feature a huge attack surface and code bases so large that they cannot be properly audited for software bugs. User funds can also be shifted from L2s, which rely on multi-signature custody, without the users’ consent, Yakovenko added.‘The claim that layer-2s inherit ETH security is erroneous,’ Yakovenko said during the debate. He argued: “5 years into the L2 roadmap, wormhole ETH on Solana has the same worst-case risks as ETH on base and generates…

Hashprice has plunged to its lowest level since April, when bitcoin was trading around $76,000, now sitting at $43.1 per petahash/second (PH/s). Hashprice, a term coined by Luxor, refers to the expected value of one terahash per second (TH/s) of hashing power per day, representing how much a miner can earn from a specific amount of hashrate. It is influenced by bitcoin’s price, network difficulty, block subsidy and transaction fees. As bitcoin has corrected roughly 20% from its October all-time high to $104,000, and transaction fees remain at bear market levels, miner revenues have come under increasing pressure. According to…

In every industry, specialization eventually outpaces generalization. As the complexity of systems increases, the tools that thrive are not the ones that attempt to do everything at once, but the ones designed to do one thing exceptionally well. Notably, technology has always followed this path. Cloud computing is split into storage, compute, and databases, chip design is branched into CPUs, GPUs, and TPUs, and finance came to rely on clearinghouses and custodians as dedicated infrastructure. Blockchain is…
