Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin shared his vision for the future of the protocol, with an emphasis on the areas of improvement for proof-of-stake, security and more in a post-Merge world.

Vitalik Buterin has donated $884,000 to charities over the last ten days as memecoiners continue to send tokens to his wallet.

Bitcoin has reached its highest price so far in October, surging above $64,000 early on Oct. 14 and liquidating over $52 million from those betting its price would fall.

In 2022, the Avalanche Foundation sold 1.97 million AVAX worth $100 million at the time to Terra’s foundation before its collapse. It’s now buying it all back for $45.5 million.
