The change of mechanism to “Proof-of-Stake” after the Ethereum upgrade – The Merge, has contributed to making this network more user-friendly than ever, while also fulfilling its goal of making Ethereum the should be “deflated”.

Currently the ETH network developers are working to ensure that the transaction validation is well distributed, while also allowing users to withdraw from the staking contract. (Slated for March 2023) and solves transaction validation issues on the network.

Ethereum developers announced that they have launched a testnet version called “Zhejiang” that allows users to test ETH staking withdrawals before the launch of the Shanghai Hard-fork board in March.

The fact that Ethereum allows users to withdraw ETH Staking, will solve users’ concerns when having to lock the amount of ETH staking on the Mainnet for a long time.

Projects that promise a “boom” for the LSD field in the near future such as:

• Lido Finance (LDO)

In general, in terms of technology, the combination of artificial intelligence (AI) and Blockchain will open a new technology era that is more complete than the Web3.0 picture. However, this trend is only now ramping up thanks to OpenAI releasing the ChatGPT product at the end of November 2022.

Projects under construction in the AI field are not 100% complete.
Many projects are trying to step into this puzzle piece so it has a very long journey in the future.

Artificial intelligence products have not really become accessible to users even in countries with today’s top developed technology sectors. Currently, it still needs a lot of time to really be highly applicable.

AI Trend can completely continue to “explode” when the technological infrastructure becomes as ubiquitous as the widespread use of Smartphones in the past 10 years.

Ethereum Domain Name Service (“ENS”), Lens Protocol, and Unstoppable Domains add the ability to identify assets and store wallets through wrapped-NFTs, just as domain registrars provide for human readable web site domains pointing to different IP addresses.

Users can move their Crypto assets to other users via domain names (ENS Domain) without the usual long string names of random characters.

The number of domain names registered by users increased “spill” in the period Q2-Q3/2022, at present it is not difficult to see accounts on platforms with .eth, .crypto, .lens, . bnb… similar to popular domain names like .com, .org, .io

However, the identification of people to participate in activities on the Blockchain has received many mixed opinions when it loses the inherent decentralization and anonymity of Blockchain.
