- Zksync Airdrop Confirm?
Token commitments to insiders: Multiple people from ZkSync (Alex Gluchowski, Steve Newcomb, Marco Cora) confirmed that there will be a token. They mentioned that ⅓ of the tokens are reserved for insiders. \[2] This sounds like they have already made a commitment to allocate tokens to key stakeholders. Why would they not launch a token? A token is the best way to monetize your project and get the support of relevant people\
\
A Token for the Zk Porter: So, I’m collecting every bit of information about the airdrop that I could find & by coincidence I stumbled upon something interesting: The ZkPorter. The ZkPorter is the off-chain Data availability layer for ZkSync. As you know ZkSync validates transactions off-chain in order to scale better. That's what the ZkPorter is for. Anyway, after learning about the ZkPorter, I watched the Bankless interview with Alex Gluchowski from ZkSync and he said something along the lines of \[1]: “We need a token because that's how the ZkPorter will be validated”
- Ethereum Hard Fork Coin ETHW Down More Than 95% Since The Merg
**Nearly a year after Chandler Guo — the instigator of the Ethereum blockchain’s last hard fork — predicted its rise, the native coin of the breakaway Ethereum proof-of-work blockchain has plummeted by more than 95%. Ethereumpow (ETHW) now trades at a price less than 1% of the U.S. dollar value of ether. The team behind the Ethereum proof-of-work network acknowledged in March that the protocol’s prospects may not be as bright as they were in September 2022.**
- 5 emerging ‘new Bitcoin’ alternative projects on the crypto market in 2023
Bitcoin
BTC
$26,564 is the world’s most popular cryptocurrency and the largest by market cap. However, the top coin has been in a downtrend since November 2021 and has a number of limitations, most notably a lack of support for the smart contracts that have enabled NFTs, DeFi, crypto gaming and more.
A growing number of projects are now building on Bitcoin to expand its utility and chart a new future for the original crypto. These high-risk “new Bitcoin” alternatives can sometimes have more upside potential and offer faster, cheaper and greener transactions than the original BTC.
New Bitcoin alternatives
Let’s take a closer look at five of the new Bitcoin alternatives that are bringing Bitcoin into the future.
- Hashing It Out: MobileCoin CEO says crypto must make space for more women
Sara Drakeley says crypto has a reputation for being a ”bro space” and urges the industry to make provisions that would attract more women to the field.
On Episode 30 of *Hashing It Out*, Elisha Owusu Akyaw speaks with Sara Drakeley, CEO of MobileCoin, a company enabling cryptocurrency payments through instant messaging applications such as Signal. Drakeley talks about going from working on animated films like *Frozen* and *Moana* at Disney to entering the cryptocurrency space. She also shares her experience as a mother in crypto and explains what is happening at MobileCoin.
Drakeley shares her journey in the Web3 space and highlights her encounters as a woman in leadership. She acknowledges that crypto has a reputation as being a “bro space,” especially when looking at the marketing of some projects. However, she also points out that there are some pockets of inclusiveness that create safe spaces for women in the arena. Drakeley adds that despite the existence of these safe spaces, the cryptocurrency world needs to find ways to accommodate the particular needs of women who are mothers, for instance. Although this may not be an accommodation necessary for many, the ability to manage these special cases will go a long way to creating a welcoming environment.
- How to identify and protect against routing attacks on the Lightning Network
To protect against routing attacks on the Lightning Network, utilize watchtowers, verify channel state changes, and prioritize well-established payment channels.
Payment channels on the Lightning Network enable users to conduct transactions without having to log each one on the Bitcoin blockchain, which lessens congestion and costs.
However, like any network, the Lightning Network is not immune to security threats, and routing attacks are one of the potential risks. The effectiveness of the network may be affected by these attacks, and users may face financial risks.
This article will explain routing attacks, how they work, their types, and how to identify and avoid them.

At that time, the public witnessed the second, third, and fourth largest bank failures in U.S. history. Dimon asserted that “for the most part,” the financial crisis of 2023 is over.

- Bitcoin Mining Operations Continue to Expand Amid the Crypto Winter, While Converting 'Wasted Gas to Energy at Scale'
The bitcoin mining industry continues to expand as companies are obtaining more megawatts of capacity, building new facilities, and acquiring thousands of application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) mining rigs. On Friday, the firm Validus Power revealed it has acquired two natural gas power stations in Ontario, Canada, that will become crypto mining facilities. On the same day, the firm Applied Blockchain got a $15 million loan to fund growth and “buildout of its data centers.” While the bitcoin mining industry’s growth has been exponential, at the same time, bitcoin mining operations are making a significant dent toward cleaning up the world’s CO2 emissions.

- # 1.12.0 - 2st September 2020, 14:30
## Features
- feat: big query base generic package lays out the interface to query
- feat: write the machine-learning base package and add the first wtf-rec logic in
- feat: `recommendedProfiles` now uses ML to predict who to follow
## Bug fixes
- fix: explore fix on publications
- fix: profile metadata snapshot
- fix: tagging searching
- fix: metadata filtering and paging
- You may have noticed that the Who To Follow recommendations displayed in Lenster (and other frontends that use the Lens API) are looking a bit different recently. The Lens ML team, which I lead, recently released an update to the algorithm that backs that API endpoint making it so that recommendations are now personalized to each user. Our hope is that you're now getting recommendations that make more sense based on the profiles that you already follow.
The algorithm is still in a beta period and we're looking for feedback on the recommendations. So how do they look for you — better, worse, the same? Maybe you discovered someone you didn't even know was on Lens? Maybe it's a bunch of low quality profiles? Let us know!
- The Merge: Will You Survive, Thrive, or Get Left Behind?
Blockworks kindly organized a webinar recently on all you need to know for The Merge, aka the transition of Ethereum from a proof-of-work consensus to proof-of-stake. Among other advancements, Ethereum 2.0 will reduce the carbon footprint of Ethereum by over 99% and lead to a major decrease in ETH issuance, combined with burning a portion of transaction fees that will likely lead to ETH becoming deflationary, based on historical on-chain activity.
Taylor Monahan, Founder of MyCrypto and now at MetaMask, joined me along with the Founder of Blocknative, Matt Cutler.
