TL;DR: We are excited to announce that applications are now open for the seventh cohort of the Ethereum Protocol Fellowship (EPF7). EPF provides a pathway for aspiring protocol developers to make meaningful contributions to Ethereum. In each cohort, a diverse group is assembled to work toward advancing Ethereum’s roadmap focused on the core properties that define Ethereum; censorship resistance, open source, privacy, and security. This includes the development of client implementations, testing and specifications, and engaging with the latest core protocol research. With an overarching goal of finding placement for fellows in R&D teams working on core protocol development, EPF…

This past week, just over 100 Ethereum core contributors gathered above the Arctic Circle — in Longyearbyen, Svalbard — for the Soldøgn Interop: a week of intense work on the Glamsterdam network upgrade. Soldøgn followed last year’s Berlinterop, but returned to the format used by Amphora 🏺, Edelweiss 🏔️, and Nyota ✨: a single-track week of focused, multi-client progress toward a specific upgrade — in this case, hardening Glamsterdam. By Friday, the group had delivered on its three core goals: alignment on a post-Glamsterdam gas limit floor of 200M, stable ePBS implementations running with external builders, and final EIP-8037 repricing…

Ethereum price falls to $2,325 on profit-taking after rising to $2,416. The repeated rejection at $2,360–$2,400 resistance weakens the overall momentum. Breaking below the key support at $2,312 could send ETH toward $2,173. After a rally that pushed Ethereum close to $2,416, things quickly changed, and now ETH sits around $2,325. This sharp drop near $2,400 tells us a lot about where Ethereum’s headed next, at least for now. Pushback at $2,416 resistance Ethereum (ETH) initially surged about 10% in a sharp move that triggered liquidations and brought renewed attention to the token. After reaching around $2,416, momentum slowed, and…

Arbitrum froze 30,766 ETH before it could be bridged out. Attacker moved 75,701 ETH and began routing funds to Bitcoin. Over $176 million is being laundered through multiple parallel flows. Arbitrum has frozen a significant portion of funds linked to the KelpDAO exploit, even as the attacker moves to push the remaining assets beyond reach. The Arbitrum Security Council confirmed it froze 30,766 ETH, valued at over $70 million at the time of action. The funds were tied to an address associated with the KelpDAO attacker and were secured before they could be bridged out of the network. The intervention…

Cardano (ADA) remains above 10% higher despite a 24-hour pullback. Hoskinson says Ethereum is adopting eUTXO-inspired ideas. Focus is on the $0.20 resistance level. Cardano is drawing renewed attention after a week of strong gains, even as the token pulled back to around $0.17. The latest price movement comes alongside fresh debate over blockchain architecture after Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson claimed that Ethereum is beginning to adopt ideas that Cardano has championed for years through its Extended Unspent Transaction Output (eUTXO) model. At the time of writing, ADA was trading at $0.1674, down 6.6% over the past 24 hours. Despite…

With the the first-ever on-chain Devcon ticket distributions now behind us, it’s time to talk ticket distribution for all participants!

Welcome to the first development update for Ethereum.org, the first of a regular series of blog posts keeping the community up to date on the website’s progress. What have we been up to? 👋 Hiring! When we rebooted ethereum.org earlier this year, it quickly became clear that the website needed a full-time team behind it to meet the community’s expectations. Over the summer, we’ve prioritized building that team to support the website into the future. Today, we’re thrilled to announce that the EF has hired a full-time web developer for ethereum.org: Sam Richards. Sam’s role will be to lead all…

Last week, seven of the eight Eth2 clients under active development succeeded in marking the major milestone of moving from single-client to multi-client testnets at the “Interop Lock-in”. With this exciting success in Eth2 development, we wanted to reflect on how this point was reached and on what it means to the Ethereum network and ecosystem. Anyone following Ethereum over the past couple of years has likely become familiar with terms such as “Ethereum 2.0”, “Eth2”, or “Serenity”. Each of these refer to substantial upgrades slated for the Ethereum protocol that have been envisioned in some form since before the…
