This is because of the successful testnet launch of the Alonzo upgrade and also the imminent arrival of the Alonzo mainnet hard fork. Now that we’ve seen the ...

Vitalik Buterin Shares His Views on Cross-chain Bridges

Image
The “honest” blocks, according to Buterin, will keep the state consistent. Buterin argued that a cross-chain environment was undesirable. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin tweeted a link to a Reddit article today that discusses his optimism in a multi-chain future but expresses doubts about cross-chain ecosystems. Because of the “fundamental security restrictions of bridges,” Buterin argued that a cross-chain environment was undesirable. Buterin further said that he disagrees that all security procedures fail if and when a blockchain experiences a 51% assault. By controlling more than 50% of the network’s mining hash rate or processing power, the goal of a 51 percent attack is to influence the integrity of the transactions being logged in a blockchain . The same concept, according to Buterin, applies to any Layer 2 created on top of the Ethereum mainchain.  Buterin wrote:  “If Ethereum gets 51% attacked and reverts, Arbitrum, and Optimism revert too, and so “cross...

A series of virtual performances were arranged for the end of 2021 to promote Facebook’s metaverse platform, dubbed Santa’s early gifts for music lovers.

Facebook’s metaverse platform, Horizon Venues, hosted the live performances. There was a minor hiccup: the crowd was generally uninterested in the performances. It got worse: even though the performances were free, Facebook users discovered a method to skip them altogether. Aside from the lacklustre attendance, the events received very little attention on Twitter or Facebook.
