Ethereum (ETH)

tldr even if ethereum becomes giga successful -- priority fees will probably not rise and may even go down a lot, and that is a good thing. if ethereum scales in both tech and adoption, base fees (i.e. the fixed fee paid by the marginal transaction for inclusion in the block) can certainly increase a lot, and there isn't really a ceiling for that. 1M txns/s paid $0.1 cent each? that's $315b in run rate revenue per year. something like that is probably Ethereum's bull case for me. but there is simply no such case for prio fees to increase a lot, and one big reason to believe they will actually continue to fall over time. for a primer, searchers and retail traders pay prio fees price to access a *specific* piece of state before other transactors. a block can have a base fee of 1 gwei, with someone paying 1m gwei to access the first slot in the block. even though ethereum's adoption and txn activity increased, prio fees have stayed relatively constant at 500-600m/year for the last 4 years. many mev exper

$101 million vanished to wrench attacks in just the first four months of 2026. The blunt truth is your wallet puts you on full display. It already has the whole picture: your balances, who you deal with, which dapps you use, and the rhythm and timing of your routines. And it spills details before you ever hit sign. RPC providers routinely tie addresses to your IP in their logs. Analytics scripts quietly call back home. On-chain, every send, every contract call, every balance sits in public view forever. A transparent ledger didn’t just enable trust; it accidentally turned into a surveillance machine nobody needed to build. This is why out of all upgrades on @ethereum, full-implementation of Kohaku is the one that I anticipated the most. Existing primitives already deliver pieces of this: → Shielded pools (e.g.: @RAILGUN_Project ) let you hold and spend from private balances while proving solvency or compliance selectively. → Stealth addresses (ERC-5564 standard) let senders create one-time destinati

RT @RobertSagurton: Certain L1’s got pretty complacent about L2’s and I warned early not to fade them. What did I see? (1) it came from an intellectually honest place of recognizing inherent limitations of Ethereum. First step to recovery is accepting your own limitations – while passing off every problem as a “simple bug fix” didn’t age well. (2) it allowed builders like @Lighter_xyz and @RobinhoodApp the freedom build to their vision and optimize without having to work around the decisions some non-trader made many years ago at the L1 level. By limiting builders, you push the best ones away. End result? Adverse selection on your L1 and created an L2 monster. Good thing we built @fogo in @TheHUB to compete with this exact scenario. 👇
