PANews reported on January 14th that, according to Cointelegraph, Santiment data shows that the number of new Ethereum network wallets created hit an all-time high last week. An average of approximately 327,000 new wallets were created daily over the past week, with a single-day record exceeding 393,000. The total number of non-empty Ethereum wallets also reached an all-time high of 172.9 million.

Analysts believe this surge is driven by multiple factors: the Fusaka upgrade implemented last December optimized on-chain data processing and reduced Layer 2 network backhaul costs, resulting in smoother interactions and lower fees; market sentiment shifted from negative to neutral/positive in mid-December, attracting more retail users; increased interest in DeFi and NFT applications at the end of the year, along with a surge in stablecoin payment and settlement activities on Ethereum, also created real financial demand. Furthermore, Nansen data shows that over half of the Ethereum supply is currently staked, with the ETH2 Beacon Deposit contract holding over 77 million ETH, and Binance and Coinbase holding approximately 4 million and 2.3 million ETH on behalf of users, respectively.

Jump’s Firedancer Team Proposes Removing Solana Block Limit After Alpenglow Upgrade

PANews reported on September 29th that according to The Block, Jump Crypto's Firedancer team is building a high-performance client for Solana. Their SIMD-0370 proposal proposes removing the current fixed limit of 60 million CUs per block (a previous proposal had raised this limit to 100 million) after Solana's major Alpenglow upgrade, scheduled for testing later this year. Without a fixed limit, block size would adjust based on the transaction volume accommodated by high-performance validators, while weaker validators would automatically abstain from voting on oversized blocks by skipping the voting mechanism. The proposal argues that removing the limit would encourage well-funded block producers to upgrade their hardware and add more transactions to increase revenue, incentivizing others to follow suit, creating a "flywheel effect" and increasing the average capacity of validator clients. Roger Wattenhofer, head of research at Anza and a driving force behind Solana's Alpenglow upgrade, supports removing the limit but also expresses concerns about potential centralization and network stability risks. He stated that these issues are solvable and that he has been a staunch supporter of removing the limit.
