(1) EIP-1559 is tentatively scheduled to be deployed to the Ethereum mainnet on July 14
On April 24, EthHub co-founder Anthony Sassano tweeted: "EIP-1559 is tentatively scheduled to be deployed on the Ethereum mainnet on July 14, 2021." Transaction fees, first proposed by Vitalik in 2018, are expected to make the fee market on the ethereum blockchain more predictable and ease congestion.

The 2.0 client Prysm defect caused the beacon chain node to lose 15 ETH, and an update will be released soon
According to the official Twitter of Prysmatic Labs, the execution team of the Ethereum 2.0 client, on April 24, the Prysm Beacon node could not generate blocks within 18 Epochs (about 2 hours), and starting from block 32302, more than 50% of the block Block proposal suddenly disappeared, suspected problem was Prysm.
Prysmatic Labs issued an incident update stating that this is an extremely rare edge case and a potential resolution has been identified. Some preliminary figures suggest that the total loss impact of the accident was around 15 ETH. Validators lost an average of 122,950 Gwei, equivalent to $0.03, due to insufficient block capacity. Some key facts:
There is no significant Slash penalty for validators;
Has no effect on beacon chain finalization;
Participation rates remain high (minimum 84.8%);
Most validators miss 2 or 3 validations regardless of client type;
Mainnet is stable and no action is necessary or recommended for Prysm operators at this time. Please wait for the fix to be released in the next few hours. In addition, according to GasNow data, the Ethereum Gas fee has dropped to around 50 Gwei.

(3) The Ethereum Gas Limit has been greatly increased and is currently close to 15 million
Note: Gas Limit is the maximum amount of Gas allowed in a single block, which can be used to determine how many transactions can be packaged in a single block. Previously, the Gas Limit increased significantly in September 2019 (from 8 million to around 10 million) and June 2020 (from 10 million to around 12 million). Bitfly, the parent company of the Ethermine mining pool, said: "After the Berlin hard fork improves efficiency, we believe that it is cost-effective to increase the gas limit of Ethereum from 12.5 million to 15 million."

EthHub founder Sassano: Once Ethereum implements EIP-1559, every transaction will destroy ETH
EthHub co-founder Anthony Sassano tweeted that once EIP-1559 is implemented, every transaction on Ethereum will destroy ETH. Every liquidation, every ETH transfer, every second layer proof, every DEX transaction, even every Rug Pull event. Regardless of the transaction, ETH will continue to be burned.
(1) Gelato, an automatic execution tool for Ethereum smart contracts, releases version V2
On April 19, Gelato Network, an automatic execution tool for Ethereum smart contracts, released the V2 version. Gelato Network V2 adopts the diamond standard (EIP-2535). New features include: each DApp can define its own custom interface, no agency contract is required, data off-chain generation saves Gas, no pre-deposit is required to support any token payment transaction fees, Transactions can be signed off-line, coordinating bots to avoid competing with each other.
The valuation of this financing is 30000000 US dollars. A total of 8% of the total supply of SMTY tokens will be sold at 0.3 US dollars each. Features of low fees, zero slippage and high staking returns. That is, in a stable currency pool, the exchange of multiple stable currencies can be realized, and the scope and benefits of non-slip swap provided by it far exceed similar products.

DefipulseEthereum-based on-chain options protocol Hegic has announced a soft governance plan designed to reward its long-term users. According to an announcement on April 19, Hegic intends to reward its most loyal users with its new gHEGIC governance token. gHEGIC holders will be able to vote in future Hegic improvement proposals. According to reports, Hegic is a decentralized on-chain derivatives protocol that allows users to buy call and put options for Ethereum and wBTC speculative transactions. Users can sell options to buyers to provide liquidity for the agreement, so as to obtain part of the premium paid to the option pool. (Cointelegraph)
