Meet the Ethereum Beam Chain - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Meet-the-Ethereum-Beam-Chain?index=0x6733df0979ad31178233486285e7e133b0e9031f0e05de0efbd45bb338d3fcea35a81c1b - Source: https://x.com/BanklessHQ/status/1856462081299755493 - Shared 12 November 2024, 6 upvotes, 0 comments Ethereum researcher Justin Drake has proposed Beam Chain, a from-scratch redesign of the Ethereum consensus layer that would use SNARKs to enable 4-second slot times and single-slot finality. According to the article, SNARK-based proofs would let these gains run on standard hardware available to home stakers, and combined with a proposal to cut staking requirements from 32 to 1 ETH, could even improve decentralization. The article also says Beam Chain would eliminate block reorganization-based MEV and make Ethereum quantum-resistant, though it would delay the most significant upgrades until 2029 at the earliest. ## 2. @BanklessHQ: Ethereum Foundation launches App Relations team, OpenSea buys Rally - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/BanklessHQ-Ethereum-Foundation-launches-App-Relations-team-OpenSea-buys-Rally?index=0x6876b854c1cb3edb44156b1b024e6d36b78f11f027d7b05e7b1afbec95be40a489793091 - Source: https://x.com/BanklessHQ/status/1945200060561502320 - Shared 15 July 2025, 4 upvotes, 0 comments The Ethereum Foundation has launched an App Relations & Research team led by @jchaskin22 to provide deeper strategic backing across the Ethereum app stack, including cryptoart and onchain social.

Users can post these tokens as collateral and borrow Sky Protocol's $USDS, with borrowing up to 50% LTV and liquidations at 77% LLTV. The protocol is built on Morpho's Multi-Market Factory, with each token in an isolated Morpho Market so that a drop in one token does not affect other lenders. The author concludes that IMF won't tame memecoin volatility but gives believers a new toolbox. ## 4.
