Week in Ethereum News

A more accurate @VanityFair headline "Crypto's Attention Whores...and Danny Ryan"

Very easy to spot the developer 🤣

HYPE is quietly on well on its way to flipping SOL Hyperliquid is better for capital markets, faster, far more scalable and doesn't have Sqlana's history of downtime. What happens to SOL after it gets flipped? They'll probably just pull the plug on the Sqlana server

Most web3 builders leave grant money on the table, not because they're not eligible, but because they never find the programs. So we made them searchable. Grants, hackathons, bounties, accelerators, RFPs. Filter by ecosystem, budget, deadline, category. No accounts required. This is the find funding opportunities skill, powered by the Karma Funding Map. Set it up, start searching github.com/show-karma/ski…

ETH up more than 15% since this tweet and leading the market 🙏 Thank you for your service, @CulperResearch

Autoscout users can now easily top up credits with crypto payments, powered by @RequestNetwork Simply select Crypto under Billing in your Autoscout dashboard

Every explorer link should just open Blockscout… Meet Linkybara 🦫 The capybara that munches through your old block explorer links and automagically opens them in Blockscout Grab your Capy on the Chrome Web Store 👇 chromewebstore.google.com/detail/linkyba…

A different rollup had raised ~$100m cash from some anti-ETH VCs I liked their alt-VM, but it had 0 developer traction & _that_ cap table I pitched them to buy @WeekInEthNews to add alt-VM coverage. They were pre-token so it was ~free "No." Their token going to Z E R O:

A blackpill moment on rollups for me: One of the biggest rollups wanted to hire me to do venture for them because they were making too much $ But they'd hired a mostly TradFi guy TradFi guy told me he didn't want to invest in anything on the rollup, either apps or infra 🫠

Spinning up a full Web3 dev environment just got a lot easier 😎 @dokryptorg built a CLI that simplifies the whole process: one command launches a local chain along with services like IPFS, indexers, oracles, and more They’ve integrated Blockscout as the built-in block explorer, so your local chain starts with a Blockscout instance already connected and ready to use That’s really useful for contract development and debugging. Having a full explorer UI while testing locally makes it much easier to inspect transactions, contracts, and state. Very cool project and great to see Blockscout included in the stack! Thanks to the Dokrypt team for building this 🙌 Ship dapps faster with Dokrypt: dokrypt.com

Under Jay Clayton, @realDonaldTrump's prosecutors keep doing Elizabeth Warren's bidding Disgusting!

Since the onset of war, the best performing assets are - crude oil - ETH ETH is digital oil?

Building multichain is hard enough. You need APIs that make it easier. Blockscout Pro API gives you multichain access, explorer-enriched onchain data, and generous capacity at every tier Learn more here 👇 blog.blockscout.com/pro-api-multic…

Upgrading from Etherscan to Blockscout PRO API is simpler than you think: - Minimal code changes - Familiar endpoint structure - Multichain access under one account Follow the migration guide 👇 blog.blockscout.com/how-to-migrate…

Multichain builders shouldn't have to manage 20 different API keys and 20 different billing accounts. The "Multichain Tax" is killing your dev velocity. 🛑 Introducing: Blockscout Pro API. A production-ready gateway to multichain data with gold-standard precision: 1. One key for every chain: This premium tier provides a single "magic key" for all supported EVM networks. No more juggling separate sites, credentials, or fragmented access tokens. 2. Enriched, decoded data: Get the same structured data that powers Blockscout explorers: ∘ Decoded proxy contract implementations. ∘ Detailed token/NFT metadata. ∘ Aggregated transaction histories & more. 3. Built to scale: With credit-based pricing and overage protection, your operations stay live during massive activity spikes. No more "hard-wall" limits. 4. Generous capacity: Pro limits are significantly higher than other providers in the market. More requests per second, fewer constraints. 5. Centralized billing: Simplify your operations with a single billing account for all chains. No more tracking dozens of invoices or managing separate payment methods for every network you support. Infrastructure shouldn't be your full-time job. Whether you're building dapps, wallets, AI agents, analytics tools, or you're the researchers, this is the data engine you need. You don't have to take my word for it. Sign in, start on the free tier to test the waters, and upgrade only when you’re ready to scale. 🏎️💨 Start building: dev.blockscout.com

This is Sariraa. Hello. • Again, after trying hundreds of VPNs, I might manage to get online for a few hours maybe once a day or every other day. - We’re going through a lot of strange and mixed emotions. • When we hear bombs, missiles, and fighter jets, we get scared for a moment and run to a corner of the house. - When it stops, we feel relieved and happy because it feels like this regime is getting closer to the end. • I want to emphasize something: any news you see from agencies or people connected to this regime is pure lies. - It was honestly hilarious seeing them claim they hit the USS Abraham Lincoln that was probably the funniest news of the day. • The attacking fighter jets are flying over Iran like the sky belongs to them. Nothing is stopping them, and not even a single shot is fired at them. - This delusional, corrupt, child-killing regime is still desperately clinging on. If they simply said “we accept the will of the people” and surrendered, all of this could end but it seems like they’d rather die down to the last person. • Anyway, water, electricity, and gas are still available. Food prices have gone up, but things are still accessible. "And yes, you can safely buy NFTs from Iranian artists everything on the wallet side is secure." • For now, we wait and see what happens. - Send us your prayers, good people of the world. • Here’s to the victory of light over darkness and the Lion and Sun of Iran.

If you want to play with Elixir and Ethereum, Blockscout is open for contributions @blockscout . You will spend AI tokens, and can get PR merged into a high quality Elixir repo with thousands forks and stars.. and maybe, one day, you'll get tokens back?

DeFi apps don’t fail because teams can’t write smart contracts. They fail because they become infrastructure plays instead of apps. 🛠️ So how do you build DeFi faster? Use Mimic: write the logic, the platform handles execution. Focus on the product again. Read how below 🔽
