It looks like Mantle and Bybit are focusing their efforts on Solana. Rather than focusing on their own L2 Mantle chain, which has seen its liquidity dwindle and dried up, they seem to be trying to build something on Solana. Last year, Bybit showed signs of trying to expand Mantle to HyperEVM, and at that time, they enabled Mantle bridging. However, there hasn't been any significant development on HyperEVM since then. This time, Solana appears to be attempting to shift liquidity to Byreal, which is currently establishing itself on Bybit, and AlphaFarm, a Bybit CeFi. Mantle rewards have also been deployed on Bybit's mnt-usdc alpha farm. This is a departure from the previous strategy of not deploying anything on Fluxion, Mantle's native DEX. Providing DEX liquidity on Mantle was complex and challenging, but now it's easier and faster to build than Mantle's L2 MerchantMo or other DEXs. Bybit itself now supports MNT deposits and withdrawals on the Solana chain, and bridging from Ethereum to Solana is now possible on-chain. I now believe it's better to forgo Mantle L2 farming and instead focus on Solana.

The ticker is ETH
Vitalik: Now, is it okay for the price to rise? “$ETH is a store of value and one of the most important applications on the Ethereum network.” Vitalik has clearly separated the Ethereum network from the Ethereum coin, $ETH, since its inception. He has repeatedly stated in the past that, “$ETH price increases could be problematic as they increase the cost of using the Ethereum network.” This time, Vitalik has described $ETH as both a “store of value” and an “application with utility.” Currently, $ETH’s primary utilities are as follows: - Collateral asset for securing the PoS Ethereum network - Fees (Gas) for network usage - A central asset for the on-chain economy of Ethereum and the entire Ethereum ecosystem (L2, EVM chains, etc.) Notably, this is the first time Vitalik has explicitly referred to $ETH as a "Store of Value." This implies that even if the price of $ETH rises sufficiently, it will no longer lead to structural problems for the Ethereum network. The following structural changes likely underlie this shift in perception: 1. A dramatic decrease in verification costs after the ZK transition The cost of network verification is expected to decrease dramatically after the introduction of ZK technology, and the minimum entry requirement for validators is also likely to be significantly lowered (32 ETH → 1 ETH) in the long-term roadmap. This means $ETH This means that rising prices no longer directly hinder the decentralization of the Ethereum network. 2. Continuously Expanding L1 Block Space Ethereum's L1 block size is rapidly expanding, which suggests that network usage costs have fallen sufficiently to support the $ETH price increase, and are likely to fall further in the future. 3. Purpose-Specific and Performance-Specific Scaling through L2 Specific purposes that are difficult to achieve on L1 (such as censorship, privacy, and ultra-high-speed transactions in milliseconds) can be sufficiently scaled through L2. In other words, the structure where rising ETH prices directly led to decreased network usability has already been resolved. 4. The Misconception of an "Infinite Issuance Asset" Many people still perceive $ETH as an asset with an infinite issuance. However, Ethereum's structure actually allows for more ETH to be burned than issued as network usage increases. While the transition to an L2-centric architecture led to a decrease in L1 usage and burn for a while, L2s are also currently paying significant fees to Ethereum. Additionally, trends such as - rapidly increasing L1 scalability - adoption as a global payment layer through stablecoins and RWA are increasing the likelihood that Ethereum will become a deflationary asset with a gradually decreasing net issuance. Conclusion $ETH is no longer simply a coin consumed as gas fees. It is the asset that ultimately captures the value of all economic activity occurring throughout the Ethereum ecosystem. In other words, $ETH itself is an application with significant utility and a store of value.

This is really a good one from Vitalik. Zcash has been around since 2016 but overtime growth slowed down. The declining hash rate has weakened confirmations. And Crosslink addresses this by: > Adding finality. > Stopping deep reorgs. > Rewarding shielded ZEC staking. No hard fork. No identity crisis. Just adding a PoS finality layer on top of Zcash’s existing chain. That is very important. One thing I know for sure is that this is how you respect a protocol’s roots while still evolving it. Some people might not really be pleased with this move. But doing nothing is the bigger risk here. This donation will definitely help in scaling more. While Vitalik is not big on L2, i hope he takes initiative from this. And see there are still more to be built on. So much to be done, and yeah, Ethereum is really doing great. Bigs up to the community and Vitalik. twitter.com/Hercules_Defi/stat...
