Ethereum And Solana Are Topping Developer Activity Again, But Why Are Their Prices Struggling?

Despite leading in crypto developer activity, Ethereum and Solana are experiencing significant price struggles. Data from Artemis shows Ethereum’s ecosystem, particularly its EVM, leads with 31,620 weekly commits, followed by Solana’s SVM with 7,056. However, both networks have seen sharp declines: Ethereum’s weekly commits dropped 54% and developer activity fell 34% over three months, while Solana saw declines of 43% and 40%, respectively. The broader crypto ecosystem has also suffered, with weekly commits plummeting from 870,900 in March last year to 217,500 in February. Analysts attribute the price weakness to an ongoing bear market. CryptoQuant’s Julio Moreno suggests Ethereum could fall to $1,500 by late 2024 if the downturn continues, citing an “adoption paradox” where network activity rises while prices fall. Market experts predict further declines, with Bitcoin potentially bottoming between September and October.

Video | Dialogue with Sei Founder Jay: Belief and Survival Rules Through the Crypto Super Cycle

Video | Conversation with Jay Jog, Founder of Sei: Belief and Survival Strategies Through Crypto’s Super Cycle Jay Jog, co-founder of Sei, shares his journey from Robinhood to building the world’s fastest blockchain. The 2021 GameStop short squeeze and Robinhood’s trading halt revealed structural flaws in traditional finance, inspiring the creation of Sei—a high-performance, decentralized alternative to Nasdaq. Sei began development in 2021, launching its Cosmos-based V1 mainnet in August 2023. To attract more developers, the team integrated EVM support, addressing Ethereum’s scalability limitations. With the launch of parallel EVM in July 2024, Sei achieved up to 50x performance improvements, processing over 5 billion transactions and attracting 100 million unique wallets. Major institutions like BlackRock, Brevan Howard, and Ondo have launched products on Sei, drawn by its growing user base and distribution channels rather than underlying tech alone. Jay emphasizes that real adoption comes from killer apps and user growth, not just high TPS. Reflecting on his journey, Jay highlights the challenges of fundraising after Terra’s collapse and the importance of building through bear markets. He remains optimistic about crypto’s future, citing real-world adoption and regulatory progress. Sei’s vision is a “Wall Street on-chain.” Upcoming upgrades like Sei Giga aim for another 50x performance boost, enabling Nasdaq-level order book systems. The team is also focusing on permissionless asset trading and internal app incubation to drive ecosystem growth. Jay advises investors to build strong conviction in crypto’s value rather than following hype. For developers, he recommends focusing on financial applications and emerging opportunities like AI agent payments, which align with internet-native currencies.

Trust Wallet Launches Address Poisoning Protection

Trust Wallet has launched a new security feature called Address Poisoning Protection to safeguard users from a common crypto scam. The tool, available on mobile across over 32 EVM chains, scans transactions in real-time to detect fraudulent addresses and alerts users before they send funds. It uses intelligence from HashDit and Binance Security to identify known scam addresses and provides a side-by-side comparison to highlight differences. This initiative responds to the rising threat of address poisoning, where scammers send small transactions from similar-looking addresses to trick users. Trust Wallet estimates 34,000 such attacks occur hourly, targeting millions. The feature builds on the wallet’s existing security stack, including a transaction-risk tool introduced in 2023. Other platforms like Ledger Live and Safe also offer similar protections against this growing threat.

What Are the Highlights of Ethereum's Most Important Glamsterdam Upgrade This Year?

Ethereum's upcoming Glamsterdam upgrade, a major mid-year update, focuses on execution-layer improvements, building upon the data-layer enhancements of the previous Fusaka upgrade. The core features include ePBS (enshrined Proposer-Builder Separation) and BAL (Block Access List). ePBS (EIP-7732) formally bakes the separation of block building and validation roles into the protocol, moving away from reliance on third-party relays. This aims to reduce trust assumptions, prevent centralization at the validator level, and improve network efficiency. BAL allows block builders to pre-declare which accounts and storage locations a block's transactions will access, enabling validators to prepare data and verify transactions in parallel, significantly boosting throughput. Additional changes include gas fee re-pricing and multi-dimensional gas, which are expected to lower costs for average users while increasing overall network capacity (though potentially raising costs for some developers). For stakers, the upgrade promises a clearer income model and greater block selection power, smoothing out MEV rewards. However, the full potential of ePBS is dependent on a future upgrade (Hegotá) to implement FOCIL (Fork Choice-Enforced Inclusion Lists), which would give validators a final tool to combat transaction censorship. Potential challenges include the upgrade's high complexity, the risk of new forms of validator centralization, and the fact that toxic MEV (e.g., front-running) may persist, merely shifting elsewhere. Ultimately, Glamsterdam represents a significant step in Ethereum's commitment to decentralization, potentially increasing its trust and adoption.

In-Depth Analysis of Fluent: How to Make Every Virtual Machine a Lego Brick?

Tiger Research's report "Deep Dive into Fluent: Making Every Virtual Machine a Lego Brick?" explores Fluent's vision to unify blockchain ecosystems by enabling seamless interoperability between different virtual machines (VMs). The report argues that the performance race in blockchain infrastructure is largely over, and the next frontier is cross-VM composability—allowing applications built on Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), and WebAssembly (Wasm) to interact natively on a single chain, eliminating the need for bridges. Fluent, an Ethereum L2, uses a "mixed execution" model where contracts from EVM, SVM, and Wasm are compiled into a unified format (rWasm) to share state and interact within a single transaction. Currently, EVM-Wasm interoperability is live on testnet, with SVM support under development. Beyond technical innovation, Fluent is building Prints, a reputation aggregation layer that consolidates trust signals from multiple platforms (e.g., Ethos, Kaito, Talent Protocol) to identify real users and enable reputation-based benefits. This is complemented by Fluent Connect, a tool for developers to target users based on their reputation data. Fluent is also growing its ecosystem through the Blended Builders Club (BBC), an accelerator supporting early-stage dApps like Pump Pals (social trading) and Sprout (yield optimization). The testnet is used for gathering genuine user feedback rather than incentivizing empty engagement. While still early, Fluent’s integrated approach—chain interoperability, reputation layer, and ecosystem growth—aims to avoid the fate of underutilized L2s by focusing on real utility and cross-VM composability.

Can Injective sustain its 35% rally? INJ’s move to $6.09 depends on…

Injective (INJ) recently experienced a significant 35% rally, climbing from $2.97 to $4.02, supported by a 57% surge in trading volume. This bullish momentum was driven by news of a $2 million INJ acquisition by Pineapple, which also announced $20.79 million in capital reserves for further accumulation, and the launch of Injective’s real-time EVM mainnet upgrade. Despite the short-term gains, the long-term trend remains bearish, with INJ forming lower highs and lower lows since September 2025. Technical indicators like the RSI show a potential momentum shift, but the CMF indicates ongoing capital outflows. Key resistance levels are at $4.16 and $6.09. In the short term, a retracement toward $3.44–$3.28 is likely, which may later provide a foundation for a move toward higher resistances. A breakout above $4.16 and $6.09 is necessary to establish a sustained uptrend.

Is LayerZero's Zero an 'Ethereum Killer'?

LayerZero's upcoming Zero chain, developed in collaboration with Wall Street giants like Citadel Securities and DTCC, aims for 200 million TPS and ultra-low transaction fees. Rather than being an "Ethereum killer," Zero is positioned as a complementary scaling solution that amplifies Ethereum’s ecosystem. Technically, Zero uses innovations like QMDB and FAFO for high-speed execution but relies on Ethereum for security via ZK-proof bridging. It supports EVM compatibility, allowing easy DApp migration without code rewrites. This design makes Zero an "external execution layer" rather than a replacement. Economically, while some value may initially migrate, Zero’s cross-chain bridge (OFT standard) is expected to route value back to Ethereum, especially in RWA (Real World Asset) settlements. Its low fees target high-frequency TradFi use cases, with Ethereum serving as the security anchor. Ecosystem-wise, Zero enhances Ethereum’s role as a multi-chain hub. It enables hybrid deployments (execution on Zero, governance on Ethereum) and attracts non-crypto users through TradFi partnerships, ultimately strengthening Ethereum’s position in the expanding RWA landscape.

When Migration Becomes the Norm: Why 'Your Own EVM Chain' Is Becoming Standard

In the past year, the industry's real "voting" has shifted from governance forums to deployment scripts, migration plans, and budgets. Projects are choosing ecosystems through action, not words—migrating mainnets, prioritizing tool stacks, and betting on networks with stronger market effects. A prime example is Noble, a leading stablecoin infrastructure in Cosmos, which moved to its own EVM L1, signaling that the main battleground for stablecoins and app distribution remains in EVM ecosystem due to its mature developer tools, wallet/dApp ecosystem, and concentrated liquidity. The trend toward "having your own EVM chain" is becoming standard. While EVM offers clear advantages in assets, integrations, and tools, generic chains come with constraints like fee volatility, congestion, and shared sequencing. Application chains/rollups allow teams to internalize these constraints—tailoring block times, execution models, and infrastructure to their business needs, and aligning transaction revenue with growth incentives. Rollup-as-a-Service (RaaS) platforms like Caldera are reducing the high costs and complexity of building and maintaining chains, turning "chain-as-a-product" into a replicable strategy. They focus not just on deployment but also on solving interoperability challenges—e.g., via Caldera's Metalayer, which standardizes cross-chain bridging and integration to reduce friction for users and developers. As migration to EVM continues, the focus shifts from "which chain to choose" to "how to control growth." Owned EVM chains/rollups offer more stable fees, better performance, and tighter integration of incentives and revenue. With RaaS lowering build costs and interoperability layers reducing cross-chain friction, having a dedicated execution environment is becoming a scalable, standard solution for projects aiming to master their own growth.
