Ethereum

1/ Did you know that besides the hardfork, there were other Ethereum updates last week? Tbh, I was wholly absorbed in Dencun 😀

Let's remember how it went down and explore other news in my concise Ethereum Weekly

Finally, the eagerly awaited EIP-4844 is in action!

4/ After no finality for over a week, Goerli produced its last block on March 13, several hours before the upgrade on the Ethereum mainnet, and died.

Core developers plan to support the testnet until April 15, 2024, till its final official shutdown.

5/ The currently supported testnets:

- Ephemery, great for testing validator setups
- Holešky, suitable for staking and infrastructure testing
- Sepolia, geared towards application layer testing

6/ Devcon 7 location is unveiled: Thailand invites all developers, thinkers, and makers to join the 4-day Ethereum conference!

7/ As usual, All Core Devs Execution (ACDE) calls were held last week, and guess what the first theme for discussion was? Yep, Dencun!
From now on, Pectra comes to the fore 👀

8/ Unfortunately, last week has passed with exploits hitting $5 million. The major incidents include:

- Unizen $2.1m exploit
- Mozaic $2m drained by the malicious developer using private key
- Blastoff $600k exploit on Blast
- Juice staking $215k exploit

Be aware of scams and always #DYOR!

9/ That's it for now! 

Keep pushing forward into the new week, enjoying Dencun's results. I wish you a highly productive week ahead!

2/ Last week marked a significant milestone on the Ethereum roadmap: the mainnet implementation of the Dencun upgrade! 

Big shoutout to Ethereum core developers, client teams, operators, stakers, and everyone who played a part in making this happen!
