Crypto Trends

A summary of the crypto trends for the week.

London upgrade EIP1559 + EIP3403

London upgrade is currently just EIP1559 + EIP 3403 (partial removal of refunds, so Gas Tokens will no longer be usable).

Merge before Shanghai?

Whilst I am keen for the merge, I’d like to avoid the downsides.

Flashbots for the rescue, whilst an ETH burner bot fought off an attacking bot.

Gripping read, can feel the intensity when the much tested rescue code fails. Always nice to see the community coming together for a successful rescue.

Jobs

OpenZeppelin are hiring:

Finally

Bokky gifting mooncats to builders

So much of my experience of Ethereum is the community doing nice things for each other with no thought of a reward. Thanks Bokky :heart:

Disclosure, Bokky gifted me a mooncat. :pray:
