Highlight Events

Ethereum’s Beacon Chain Suffers Reorg

According to the Twitter account terrence.eth, a member of the Beacon Chain development team, the recent reorg incident took place because of a mechanism called “boost,” which allows blocks to be formed according to the weighting schedule votes in the Proof-of-Stake mechanism. However, since this is not a required change, not all clients (software running nodes) integrate boost, resulting in differences between nodes.

Ethereum testnet ready for Merge

The Ropsten testnet on the Ethereum network is ready to set the stage for the “first dress rehearsal” of the Merge to adopt the proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism. Core Ethereum developer Tim Beiko announced on Tuesday that a new Beacon Chain for Ropsten has been launched. It will serve as the precursor for the final test Merge, which is expected to be “around June 8th.” The Ropsten testnet is one of many testing grounds for Ethereum clients. It mimics aspects of the Ethereum mainnet including the use of a valueless form of Ether (ETH) to execute transactions and the coding environment, but changes made there do not affect the mainnet.

DeFi Saver is now LIVE on Arbitrum and Optimism

The two networks they’re going live on Arbitrum and Optimism, both optimistic rollups and both EVM equivalent, meaning that any protocol or dapp live on Ethereum mainnet should have no difficulty deploying to these, too. As most of historic users have been predominantly on Ethereum mainnet, it only makes sense for us to also provide bridging options for anyone looking to move assets to any of the supported L2s and try things out there.

DeFi Saver choice of a bridging protocol, they went with LI.FI which is an aggregator that aims to get you the best rates available when moving assets between chains (and it’s often the case that you can gain a bit extra in arbitrage when moving from one network to another).
