Vitalik Buterin published a technical paper "Protocol and staking pool changes that could improve decentralization and reduce consensus overhead".
Vitalik analyzes the current staking system.
Main theses:
▫️Ethereum two-tiered staking: There is a staking model where participants are divided into node operators (those who run nodes and provide collateral) and delegators.
▫️Problems of the current system:
- Centralization risk in node operators.
- Needless consensus layer burden due to the large number of signatures Ethereum has to verify.
▫️Role of delegators: The paper discusses what role delegators can play so that their participation is meaningful and affects the security and decentralization of the network.
▫️Empowering Delegators: ways to strengthen the role of delegators, including better voting tools within pools, more competition between pools, and the introduction of protocol-level delegation are suggested.

The THOR price has decreased by 40%.

Thorchain has taken the 2nd place in terms of volume among DEX.
Over the last 5 days, the volume has exceeded $1bn.
This can be attributed to a surge in hackers' activity on crosschain transactions in BTC. In the last four months, over 50% of funds converted from ETH to BTC via ThorSwap routers have been stolen.

Arthur Hayes has published a new article, "Double Happiness".
Main theses:
▫️It is impossible to have a bull market without a bear market. Arthur explores the idea that there will be an incredible bull market waiting for us when the current cryptocurrency bear market ends.
▫️The future bull market will be driven by the explosion of fiat liquidity and the commercialisation of artificial intelligence.
▫️Hayes analyses why the world's largest central banks will print more money than ever to "save" their government bond markets.
▫️The author discusses how new technologies, especially artificial intelligence, will be funded by this money and how this will affect cryptocurrencies such as Filecoin.
▫️So he also looks at the current structure of the global economy based on the US dollar and how this relates to the future of cryptocurrency.
