Blockchain ‘Mana’ From Vitalik in 2015 An Ethereum developer has submitted a proposal to change the name of “gas” on Ethereum to “mana,” in part to reflect the increased eco-friendliness of the blockchain’s transition to Proof of Stake from Proof of Work. Alright, guys, my draft EIP on renaming `gas` to `mana` got merged some minutes ago. Please leave your feedback in the FEM thread (the PR got locked for obvious reasons ????):https://t.co/uaKSnQsHfQ pic.twitter.com/crVIvi19zT — sudo rm -rf –no-preserve-root / (@pcaversaccio) April 3, 2023 The Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) from Pascal Caversaccio echoes an EIP that Ethereum Co-Founder Vitalik Buterin…

NFT Technology startup TravelX is helping an Argentinian airline offer NFT tickets to its customers, and the firm expects a handful of other air carriers to adopt this model by the end of the year. Customers of Buenos Aires-based Flybondi now have the option to activate NFT versions of their tickets, which allow them to make a name change on the reservation or transfer the ticket to someone else.

Blockchain Fabian Vogelsteller, an Ethereum veteran who helped shape the ecosystem in the early days, is taking on a new venture – a blockchain to succeed where he says others have failed, in catering to creative, fashion-oriented and art-world types. One of the 39-year-old, self-taught German programmer’s most significant contributions to the ecosystem was the invention of ERC-20, the blueprint for creating tokens that are compatible with Ethereum, which led to the infamous initial coin offering (ICO) boom of 2017-2018. Several of the biggest tokens by market capitalization are based on the standard, including Uniswap’s UNI, Shiba Inu’s SHIB and…

NFT In an unwaveringly cringeworthy interview with Forbes, Reddit co-founder Alex Ohanian made the claim that due to the traumatic suffering his family endured during the Armenian Genocide, he’s decided to invest millions of dollars into NFTs. “Even if all this experiment produces is a mechanism that enough people believe in to be able to take some notion of ownership or value… that feels like a win,” he said, vaguely. But let’s be real, Alex, you’re buying NFTs because you like them and want to make money, not to create any genocide-related safety mechanisms. The article makes sure to consistently…

Blockchain Central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) will be the driving force behind getting more people to use blockchain, Ronit Ghose, future of finance global head at Citi, told CoinDesk TV. In Citi’s latest “Money, Tokens, and Games” report, the banking giant said the crypto industry is reaching an inflection point where blockchain’s potential will be seen and measured in “billions of users” coupled with “trillions of dollars in value.” That, however, could hinge on whether the use of CBDCs globally becomes a reality. By 2030, according to the Citi report, up to $5 trillion worth of CBDCs could be circulating…

Blockchain A consortium of Ethereum builders has banded together to launch MEV Blocker, a utility that promises to help people transact on Etheruem without succumbing to maximal extractable value (MEV) bots. Maximum extractable value is a phenomenon wherein clever blockchain operators profit from the ability for anyone to preview upcoming transactions. By looking at Ethereum’s mempool – a sort of waiting area for yet-to-be-confirmed transactions – so-called MEV-bots can front-run trades and execute other strategies, like sandwich attacks, that eat into the profits of regular users.
