Ethereum Foundation Update on Scaling Efforts: Addition of L1 Scaling Lead Member

2025.08.06 12:40:44

On August 6th, the Ethereum Foundation issued a blog post to update the latest work progress in the "Scale L1 / Layer 1 Scalability" area. This includes the following 3 points: 1. Marius van der Wijden joins Ansgar Dietrichs and Tim Beiko to jointly lead the L1 scaling work. 2. Following Berlinterop, the mainnet gas limit has been increased to 45 million, marking the first step towards 100 million Gas and beyond. 3. All major execution layer clients have deployed the pre-merge history pruning feature, which significantly reduces node disk usage. It is understood that in order to address the growing demand on the Ethereum network, the Foundation reorganized the research and development team in June and renamed it to "Protocol", focusing on three key strategic goals: L1 Scalability (Scale L1), Blob Scalability, and User Experience/UX Improvement while ensuring security and decentralization.

Serenity: Oracle’s renewal price for its legacy GPUs is 20% higher than the original contract, a positive development for NVIDIA and Neocloud.

Serenity noted that GPU renewal data disclosed in Oracle’s (ORCL) financial report sends a relatively positive signal to computing infrastructure firms including NBIS and IREN. Oracle stated that all GPUs entering the renewal phase have been resold, with transaction prices 20% higher than their original contracts, and most of these devices have been in use for more than four years. Serenity argues this data serves as a counterexample to Burry’s claim of “rapid GPU depreciation” and is more favorable to NVIDIA (NVDA) and Neocloud.

Meme coin flybrain's market cap rebounds to exceed $14 million, surging over 60% in 24 hours.

According to GMGN data, the meme coin flybrain on the Robinhood chain has rebounded to a market capitalization exceeding $14 million, currently standing at $14.03 million, with a more than 60% 24-hour price surge and $6.5 million in trading volume over the same period. Earlier, Marc Andreessen, co-founder of a16z, followed the project’s official X account. The project bills itself as the first meme coin developed by researchers using fruit fly brains—not "brain-inspired AI," but the actual connectome of a fruit fly brain, which comprises 165,122 neurons and 10,228,000 synaptic connections, all from a single male fruit fly, traced individually via electron microscopy. BlockBeats reminds users that most meme coins lack practical use cases, are highly volatile, and investors should exercise caution.

Thailand’s SEC proposes to cap daily one-way stablecoin transfers to third-party wallets at 5 million Thai baht.

Thailand’s SEC Proposes "Same Owner" Requirement for Stablecoin Transfers by Licensed Digital Asset Operators. According to the draft currently in the consultation phase, stablecoins entering customer platform accounts must come from verified accounts or wallets belonging to the same customer, and withdrawals can only be transferred to the customer’s own wallets or accounts. This means customers will not be able to receive stablecoins from others’ wallets via Thailand SEC-regulated platforms, or withdraw funds to third-party wallets. The requirement applies only to transfers processed by licensed operators, not peer-to-peer transactions that fully bypass relevant platforms. The draft also mandates that stablecoin transfer amounts align with customers’ income sources and financial status, with a daily deposit and withdrawal limit of 5 million Thai Baht per customer per operator. Transfers between regulated platforms are exempt from the limit if both operators comply with the Travel Rule, though it remains unclear whether this exemption affects the "same owner" requirement. Thailand’s SEC stated the proposed measures stem from the growing transaction volume of stablecoins, especially USDT, and associated risks of money laundering, cybercrime, and circumvention of international remittance rules. Public consultation will close on September 25, while the separately developed Travel Rule will take effect on February 27, 2027.
