Ethereum’s Fee Reduction Fuels Address Poisoning Surge A recent analysis shows something worrying happening on Ethereum. After the network’s Fusaka upgrade in December, which made transactions cheaper, there’s been a massive jump in what experts call ‘dust attacks.’ These are tiny, often worthless transfers sent to thousands of wallets, but they’re not harmless.

Bitcoin’s Shifting Supply Landscape I’ve been watching the exchange balance data for a while now, and something interesting is happening.

Bitcoin’s infrastructure shows surprising durability A recent study from the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance reveals something interesting about Bitcoin’s physical infrastructure.

If ETH can manage a daily close above that price, well, the […]
