About Ethereum on Tour

The future of Ethereum belongs to all builders, and it should take root and grow in more places around the world.

Ethereum on Tour is a global educational initiative launched by the Ethereum Foundation's Developer Growth Team and the Ethereum Foundation's Academic Grants Team. It aims to connect universities worldwide and inspire a new generation of developers, researchers, and educators to explore Ethereum's technology and values. Its mission is concise and powerful: to bring Ethereum's courses, tools, and mentor resources to you!

With this shared vision, LXDAO and ETHPanda are collaborating with the Ethereum Foundation's Developer Growth Team and the Ethereum Foundation's Academic Grants Team to execute Ethereum on Tour in China—the Chinese regional edition of this global program. We will bring Ethereum's educational philosophy and developer culture to major campuses across mainland China through an online opening ceremony and offline campus roadshows.

Warsh, Trump's Next 'Scapegoat' at the Federal Reserve?

Kevin Warsh, a nominee for the Federal Reserve chair, faces a challenging confirmation hearing amid political pressure from former President Donald Trump to implement immediate and significant interest rate cuts. Warsh has proposed reforms including reducing the Fed’s communication frequency and shrinking its $6.7 trillion balance sheet. However, market expectations for rate cuts remain limited, creating tension with Trump’s demands. Warsh’s stance has shifted over time, from hawkish during the financial crisis to more dovish recently, citing AI-driven productivity gains. His confirmation is further complicated by Republican Senator Thom Tillis’s threat to block the nomination unless an investigation into current Chair Jerome Powell is dropped. Trump has warned of firing Powell if he doesn’t leave on time. Observers note that Warsh risks becoming a "scapegoat"—either by yielding to political pressure and fueling inflation, or by resisting and facing Trump’s backlash. His ties to Trump’s circle and Wall Street support may aid his nomination, but his ability to balance political demands with the Fed’s credibility remains uncertain. Historical precedents, like Arthur Burns’s compliance with Nixon, highlight the risks of political interference in monetary policy.

Plunging 10% Then Surging: Weekend Crude Oil Market Watch

Following a 10% plunge, oil prices surged over the weekend as geopolitical tensions in the Strait of Hormuz escalated dramatically. The initial market optimism, driven by the strait’s brief reopening on Friday, quickly reversed on Saturday when Iran reinstated restrictions and fired on vessels, halting nearly all traffic. In response, oil contracts rose approximately 4.52%, while S&P futures fell nearly 0.8%. U.S. President Trump alternated between diplomatic gestures—sending an envoy for talks—and threats to destroy Iranian infrastructure if no deal was reached. Iran rejected further negotiations, fearing a U.S. attack before the midweek ceasefire deadline. This triggered another spike in oil, surpassing Saturday’s highs, and further pressured equity markets. Crypto-related stocks underperformed significantly. Market optimism is expected to be punished, and the week ahead hinges on whether Iran maintains its refusal to negotiate.

6,000 CEOs Admit AI 'Did Nothing', Yet It Was Used to Lay Off 40,000 People in Q1 This Year

A study by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) surveying 6000 executives across four countries reveals that nearly 90% of businesses report AI has had "no measurable impact" on employment or productivity over the past three years. Despite global AI investments exceeding $250 billion in 2024, only 12% of CEOs reported both cost reductions and revenue growth from AI. Contrastingly, in Q1 2026, the industry saw 78,557 tech job cuts, with 47.9% attributed to AI and automation. Critics label this contradiction an "AI version of the Solow Paradox," referencing the visible lack of AI's effect in productivity data amid widespread adoption. While some leaders, like Anthropic’s CEO, predict AI will eliminate half of entry-level white-collar jobs, others accuse firms of "AI washing"—using AI as a pretext for layoffs originally planned due to over-hiring or weak demand. However, companies like IBM and Cognizant are bucking the trend by increasing entry-level hiring and retraining staff to work alongside AI. Economists suggest a "J-curve" effect may be underway, where initial productivity stagnation is followed by significant gains, as was seen with IT in the 1990s. The transition remains challenging, with true productivity improvements expected within 6–12 months.

Solana Q1 Report: Revenue Plunges 68% Year-on-Year, Developers Decrease by 30%

Solana Q1 2026 Report: Key Metrics Show Significant Decline Amid Market Reset Solana experienced a substantial downturn in Q1 2026, with key performance indicators reflecting a broader market cooling. Total network revenue (REV) fell to $89.9 million, down 68% year-over-year (YoY) and 1.4% quarter-over-quarter (QoQ). This decline was driven by reduced speculative activity, which had previously fueled the network during the 2024/2025 bull market. Key revenue components saw mixed results: base fees dropped 8.7% QoQ, Jito tips (MEV) fell 19.7%, priority fees rose 23%, and vote fees declined 44.5%. The annualized real yield for stakers was just 0.17%, down 67% YoY. Network GDP, generated by top applications, fell 7% QoQ to $451 million. Pump Fun emerged as a standout, generating $103 million (up 3% QoQ), surpassing Solana's L1 revenue. However, daily active addresses averaged 2.4 million, down 4.8% YoY. Stablecoin supply on Solana reached $15.9 billion, down 2.7% QoQ but up 18% YoY. USDC and USDT remained dominant. DEX volumes averaged $3.2 billion daily, with private DEXs now accounting for 60% of all volume. The network's net dilution rate was 4.38%, while the cost to produce $1 of REV was $8.10, up 93% YoY. The number of new tokens created on launchpads grew 42% QoQ to 3 million, with Pump Fun dominating 85% of this market. Despite the downturn, Solana's core strengths remain: its position as a hub for retail trading apps, potential in perpetual markets, and growing use in stablecoin-based fintech applications, particularly in Latin America. However, developer activity declined 32% YoY, slightly worse than Ethereum's 29% drop. The network must now focus on attracting traditional finance, competing in perpetual markets, and sustaining developer ecosystem growth to drive the next expansion cycle.

XRP SuperTrend Flips Bullish For First Time Since January – Is A Rally To $1.90 Next?

XRP's SuperTrend indicator has flipped to a bullish signal for the first time since January 17, suggesting a potential reversal after months of persistent downtrend. The shift occurred after XRP closed marginally above the SuperTrend line at $1.40, indicating weakened bearish momentum. Analyst Ali Martinez identifies $1.55 as a critical resistance level; a decisive break above it could trigger a relief rally toward $1.90. However, approximately 60% of circulating supply is held at an average cost of $1.44, creating significant selling pressure in that zone. XRP is currently trading at $1.42, with the SuperTrend now acting as dynamic support.
