Token dump scandal of movement: The motion, a buzzy crypto startup supported by Trump’s World Liberty Financial, has been heard to close a $ 100m series B round. Instead, following a CoinDesk investigation, the network was in the middle of a scandal that communicated with the insider exposed to a full-time crypto corner. Movement Labs investigates if it is misguided by the sign of a market-making agreement that given an obscene middleman Control 66 million transfer tokens, which triggers a $ 38 million sale after the token debut. The internal contracts show the Rentech, a firm without a digital footprint, which appears on either side of the deal, once as a Web3port subsidiary and once as a foundation movement agent, which raises questions about self-communication. The foundation officials initially were to reflect the Rentach deal as “perhaps the worst agreement” they have seen; Experts have warned that it created incentives to pump the transfer price price before dumping the tokens to retail investors. The incident was exposed to a rift within the leading movement of the movement: executives, legal advice and counselors were all under investigation for their duties in facilitating repair despite internal objections. – Sam Kessler Read more.
ETH proposal aims to raise the gas limit ceiling: Ethereum Foundation Researchers Dankrad Feist filed EIP-9698, a plan to let the blockchain gas limit on autopilot over the next four years. The EIP introduces a deterministic “exponential” schedule baked in client defaults, holding the gas limit upward by a small amount of preset per season. These unpredictable gas limits provide current validators to keep their machines speed, cutting the need for sudden upgrades. If approved and implemented, the gas limitation ceiling will climb from 36 million units to approximately 3.6 billion, allowing approximately 6,000 simple transfers per block and more than 2,000 transactions per second (tps). The current TPS of Ethereum is around 15-20 tps. – Shaurya Malwa Read more.
Bitcoin Blockchain data debates reign as developers weigh data limits: Bitcoin developers are again at the odds about how the oldest and largest blockchain should handle storing chain information, with a proposal to relax long-term data size Battles in 2023 in the ordinals. Blockchain’s OP_RETURN feature gives people to attach a small piece of extra data to a transaction. It is often used for things such as notes, timestamps or digital notes. The suggested change The 80-byte cap will be removed from such data, a limit originally designed to discourage spam and maintain blockchain financial integrity. Supporters argue that the current limit is futile because users are that -Ypass by using Taproot transactionsTo hide data within the transaction parts intended for cryptographic signatures. Bitcoin core developer Luke Dashjr called the proposal “extreme insanity” and warned that loosening data restrictions would accelerate what he saw as the breakdown of the first Bitcoin financial goal. – Sam Reynolds Read more.
Base Reaches Stage 1 Rollup Status: The base, the popular layer-2 network from the Cryptocurrency Exchange Coinbase (coin), is now a “stage 1” rollup, the company said, which sets its path to full decentralization. Moving to a “stage 1” rollup came because the other layer-2 also reached that milestone, making these networks less dependent on centralized creatures. The step means that the base will now have a security council, a network of ten “independent creatures, which we have chosen from around the world,” said Tom Vieira, the head of the product at the base, in an interview with CoinDesk. – Margaux Nijkerkk Read more.
