Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has publicly called for a significant structural cleanup of the Ethereum network, warning that its growing complexity and frequent upgrades could undermine its long-term viability. In recent commentary, Buterin suggested a redesign with an impact comparable to the network's shift from Proof of Work to Proof of Stake, aimed at simplifying the system, removing outdated components, and reducing friction for users and developers to solidify Ethereum's role as a global financial backbone.
This introspection comes as Ethereum has shown relative market strength, with the ETH price recently outperforming Bitcoin and spot Ethereum ETFs attracting inflows during a period where Bitcoin ETFs saw significant outflows.
Meanwhile, Solana (SOL) is demonstrating resilience amid a broader market sell-off. Despite trading around $127, down nearly 11% on the week, Solana spot ETFs recorded $3.08 million in net inflows. This stands in stark contrast to the $483 million in net outflows from Bitcoin ETFs, indicating a potential rotation of institutional capital. On-chain metrics support this narrative, with Solana adding 8.6 million new addresses followed by 8.4 million, a decline of just 2.38%, suggesting stable user engagement.
Tron (TRX) is also noted for its stability, trading near $0.31 and holding above key moving averages. Its resilience is attributed to growing stablecoin adoption, with USDT supply on the Tron network surging, and recent integration with MetaMask providing native wallet support.
The articles heavily promote a project called Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP), which is conducting a presale auction. It is described as an infrastructure-focused blockchain enabling verifiable computation and utilizes a unique daily participation framework for price discovery, where allocations are determined proportionally based on on-chain activity each day. The content positions ZKP as an early-stage opportunity with significant growth potential.
