A debate in the Ethereum ecosystem exposes costs that could favor trusted payments, while relay auctions may still help builders compete.

Staking income has not stopped ETHA from retaining an overwhelming lead over the newer ETHB.

BitMine's 5.07 million ETH stake raises fresh questions over how consensus authority is split among MAVAN and external providers.

Stacks replaces traditional lending exposure with miner-funded rewards, six-month lockups and dependence on protocol economics.

Lido captured just 5.7% of H1 staking growth, while a negative NEST budget shows why deposits alone cannot fund purchases.

EF Protocol wants a broader issuance debate, while unchanged rewards preserve validator income and dilution for unstaked holders.

More capacity alone will not replace declining reserve-funded staking rewards unless users generate enough transaction fees.

Bitmine stakes more than 5 million tokens, potentially generating enough annual rewards to materially close its 5% target.

One transaction emptied 28.6% of supply from the bonded pool, while 1.66 billion attacker-held TAC remains unresolved.
