Ether first crossed $4,000 in October 2021, at the time it was near the end of a wild bull run. Today we passed $4k for the second time, nearly 30 months later, with a totally new perspective: this feels more like the beginning of a new bull cycle than the end of one. Congratulations to developers, operators, and community members who worked hard to bring value to Ether. Art by /u/Few-Bake-6463, POAP developed by superphiz.

On February 28, 2024, Coinbase Cloud announced that they were adding support for additional Ethereum execution clients, with Nethermind, and eventually other clients like Erigon. Coinbase has repeatedly shown a deep commitment to the success of the Ethereum network and we look forward to a long and fruitful relationship. This commitment builds on Coinbase's previous shift in conensus client diversity and is a big milestone toward ensuring the predictable operation of the Ethereum chain for decades to come.

This POAP will be issued to anyone who was operating their own Ethereum staking node, either as a solo staker or as a Rocket Pool node operator, as of the time of the merge. The first use of this POAP will be to vote on an art style for a non-transferrable NFT which will be issued to node operators. You can learn more about this project here: https://www.ethstakerincentives.org/ Subsequent uses will be up to the staker community. The list of eligible addresses for this POAP is here: https://github.com/GLCNI/ETH-Solo-Validator-Addresses

Over 4 years ago Rocket Pool was born as an idea for the first ever decentralized staking project for Ethereum. Today we're extremely excited to announce... again, decentralized staking will be a reality on mainnet from 9th November, 2021 00:00 UTC

Ethereum Network Upgrade Livestream Party! Altair will be the first network upgrade to the Beacon Chain since it’s launch in December of 2020. To celebrate this milestone event the EthStaker crew will be joined by special guests within the ecosystem from client team members, engineers, and community contributors. As we watch the leadup to epoch 74240 (when Altair is implemented) the EthStaker crew will celebrate with a POAP.art canvas, distribute an exclusive livestream POAP, and host a Q&A session regarding Altair’s technical payload.

Keeping up with the NFT daily news and discussing important topics with @ryancarson on the NFT Daily Dose Twitter Space.

The Ethereum Mainnet merged with the Beacon Chain proof-of-stake network on September 15, 2022. This marks the end of proof-of-work for Ethereum and a full transition to proof-of-stake. This historic upgrade is projected to reduce the Ethereum network's energy consumption by over 99% and sets the stage for future upgrades to further scale the Ethereum network. Holders of this POAP were there to witness the Ethereum Mainnet Merge with the rest of the community and signaled their support to the core developers of this enormous undertaking by sending roughly $10 of ETH to the Protocol DAO, directly funding protocol contributors. Special thanks to all of the client teams, researchers and core developers of the Ethereum Protocol, and to community leaders The Daily Gwei, Bankless, Ethereum Cat Herders, The Ethereum Foundation and EthStaker for their support in preparing the world for this moment. -https://thedailygwei.substack.com/ -https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/ -https://www.ethereumcatherders.com/ -https://ethereum.org/en/ -https://ethstaker.cc/
