A Cambridge University study found Ethereum's energy intensity is among the lowest for proof-of-stake blockchains, using 33 kWh per $1 million of market value post-merge. While overall consumption is higher than some, its transition to PoS drastically cut energy use by ~99.96%.
Citi'nin raporuna göre kuantum bilgisayarlar kripto paralar için acil tehdit oluşturmuyor. Ancak Bitcoin'in açık anahtar yapısı ve yavaş protokol yönetişimi nedeniyle kuantum riskine karşı daha dikkatli izlenmesi gereken ağların başında geliyor.
Bitmine has staked more than $10 billion in ETH, making it the largest corporate Ethereum treasury company and a yield-generating bet on the network’s proof-of-stake economy. On May 4, the Las Vegas-based company said its staked ETH position stood at 4.36 million tokens, valued at $10.2 billion at ETH's average price of $2,336. The position […] The post Ethereum’s biggest staker has just become a public company with over $10 billion locked up appeared first on CryptoSlate.
Coinbase's Independent Advisory Board on Quantum Computing and Blockchain released a report warning that proof-of-stake blockchains like Ethereum and Solana face greater quantum computing exposure due to vulnerable validator signatures. The BLS signatures used by Ethereum validators and Ed25519 signatures used by Solana could be broken by sufficiently powerful quantum computers. The report estimates 6.9 million Bitcoin have exposed public keys. While current systems remain secure, the advisory board urges the industry to begin migrating to quantum-resistant cryptography now.
