Crypto Weekly News 🌐📡
⚡ Cardano Faces Temporary Chain Split
Cardano briefly split into two parallel chains after a malformed staking transaction triggered an old bug. New node versions accepted the transaction while older ones rejected it, causing 14 hours of divergence. No funds were lost, but it sparked debate on blockchain client diversity.
⛓️ Ethereum Raises Block Gas Limit to 60M
Ethereum increased its block gas limit for the first time in four years. The higher limit boosts block capacity and prepares the network for the upcoming Fusaka upgrade. Researchers call this step part of a broader scaling strategy, with more fine-tuned improvements expected ahead.
🟣 Polygon May Bring Back the MATIC Ticker
Polygon's co-founder reopened the discussion on reverting the network’s token ticker from POL to MATIC. Many retail users still search for MATIC, causing confusion. The community is split—some want familiarity, others prefer sticking with the rebrand.
💸 Solana Tokens Trade at Premium After Upbit Hack
Solana-linked tokens traded at unusually high premiums on Upbit after an exchange hack disrupted arbitrage flows. The attack caused temporary inefficiencies that pushed prices higher than global averages.
