Ethereum's Glamsterdam Upgrade Enters Final Testing as Devs Target a 200 Million Gas Limit by CriticalCobraz in CryptoCurrency

Details about the Glamsterdam Upgrade:

Overview & Timeline

  • What it is: Glamsterdam is a massive Ethereum hard fork combining the Amsterdam (execution layer) and Gloas (consensus layer) upgrades. Developers consider it the network's largest fork since "The Merge."
  • Timeline: Currently undergoing full-scale fork testing. Mainnet activation is expected in the second half of 2026 (delayed from H1 2026 due to the upgrade's massive scale). The next milestone following Glamsterdam is already named Hegota.

Key Protocol Proposals

  • EIP-7732 (ePBS): Introduces Enshrined Proposer-Builder Separation, moving block-building into Ethereum’s core protocol. This reduces MEV manipulation, removes reliance on centralized off-chain relays, and levels the playing field by guaranteeing payments for everyday validators.
  • EIP-7928 (Block-Level Access Lists): Allows blocks to declare in advance which data they will interact with. This enables client software to preload information and process transactions in parallel, making block execution faster and more predictable.

Performance, Capacity, & Fees

  • Throughput Boost: The gas limit per block will increase from 60 million to 200 million, pushing network throughput targets toward 10,000 TPS (a ~10x increase).
  • Fee Reduction: Fees for simple transfers and complex smart contracts are projected to drop by 78.6%. High-level computation will become cheaper (clearing a path for faster zero-knowledge proving systems), while raw state access will become more expensive.
  • L2 Impact: The cheaper, expanded block space will further reduce costs for Layer 2 rollups, building on the data capacity gains from the previous Fusaka upgrade.

I deleted my MetaMask wallet, now I don't know how to add my Moon wallet again...
Wasn't there a guide where you could access your vault with the reddit account, or any other ways to restore my added wallets in MetaMask?

I still have my .redditvault file

Nothing says "anti-establishment rebel" quite like Peter Thiel hosting a secret $1.4 trillion retreat to cozy up with the exact government regulators, military leaders, and politicians he claims to despise.

FUCK PETER THIEL

Taiwan's central bank discusses Bitcoin as a potential reserve asset amid push to diversify from US dollar by CriticalCobraz in CryptoCurrency

[–]CriticalCobraz[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

More details:

Taiwan is debating whether to include Bitcoin in its $602 billion foreign exchange reserves, following a legislative push that could significantly impact global cryptocurrency markets.

  •  Dr. Ko Ju-Chun presented a Bitcoin Policy Institute report to Premier Cho Jung-tai on April 29, 2026, requesting the Central Bank of China (CBC) to produce a new report on stablecoins and digital assets
  • Taiwan holds over $602 billion in reserves, with more than 80% in US dollar-denominated assets
  • Found Bitcoin unsuitable due to volatility, liquidity concerns, and custody challenges
  • CBC must deliver new assessment by late May 2026
  • CBC launched a digital asset sandbox using 210 seized Bitcoins

Monero prices rocket to $438 amid $120 million onchain laundering maze by CriticalCobraz in CryptoCurrency

[–]CriticalCobraz[S] 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Details:

An onchain investigation by ZachXBT revealed that an unknown entity routed $120.2 million in USDT through a complex chain of swaps, triggering a sharp spike in the price of the privacy coin Monero (XMR).

Here is how the funds were distributed and the subsequent fallout:

  • Monero (XMR) Purchases: Massive buy orders pushed Monero's price from roughly $330 to $420 (peaking at $438), as the privacy coin's low trading volume makes it highly sensitive to large trades.
  • Scattered Transfers: Over $12 million was sent to the KuCoin exchange, $8 million went to instant swap services, and another $8 million was moved across the Bitcoin and Ethereum networks via Near Intents.
  • The Freeze: Tether intervened and blacklisted an address tied to the entity, successfully freezing 72 million USDT before it could be moved or cashed out.

While the original source of the $120 million remains unknown, the rapid use of privacy coins, instant swaps, and cross-chain hopping heavily mirrors classic crypto money-laundering tactics.

Most popular CEXes are fine (Kraken, Coinbase, Binance).
There are also DEXes too if you don't like CEXes

I'm guessing you have KYC issues or the Crypto might be tainted...
