#Trading Watches the Burn
2022-05-04
On April 30th, 2022, Yuga Labs release 55,000 virtual plots of land for 305 Ape coin each. These Otherdeed mints cause gas prices to soar in an epic gas war with mints averaging over 6,000 gwei. #Trading watched with amusement as more than $150 million dollars worth of ETH was burned during this mint.
Switch Clients with Rocket Pool
2022-03-15
In March 2022, Joe Clapis from the Rocket Pool team began work on a Terminal User Interface that provided support for easy client switching during runtime using the graphical interface. While this Terminal UI is still regarded as an alpha product, the value to the community is extremely high as it allows Rocket Pool node operators to continuously contribute to client diversity and help to ensure good client balance on the network. This POAP serves to commemorate this great effort towards decentralisation and to appreciate how Rocket Pool has consistently acted as a public good on the beacon chain. It was given out to the attendees of the weekly RP Twitter Space on March 8th. For more information check out the Rocket Pool discord: https://discord.com/invite/rocketpool
In early 2022, the Ethereum beacon chain had a supermajority client (greater than 66% of block proposals) that caused a potential loss of finalization on the beacon chain. Holders of this POAP worked to right the client balance and promote a healthier beacon chain for everyone's benefit. The beacon chain will be most successful when all clients (currently Nimbus, Teku, Prysm, and Lighthouse) hold equal proportions of block proposals. This effort is supported by the EthStaker crew: superphiz, Nolan, Butta, Unvetica, Sam (GreyWizard), Colfax, Thorsten, Remy, and Mister Mojo.
