Dubai has revealed its intention to build a 17-story Crypto Tower to support the growing blockchain and Web3 industries. The tower, offering 150,000 square feet of leasable space, aims to become a hub for Web3 innovation. The UAE is in fierce competition with the US to establish itself as a leading blockchain center. The tower will incorporate blockchain technology for tenant interactions and operations, streamlining processes with on-chain voting, smart contracts, and automated systems. This innovative approach is expected to reduce administrative burdens and set new standards in community management. The tower will allocate nine floors to office spaces for crypto startups and established companies, while three floors will accommodate blockchain incubators, venture capital firms, and investment groups. Additionally, there will be a floor dedicated to AI initiatives. Scheduled for completion by Q1 2027, the tower will also feature a crypto club, event spaces, an NFT art gallery, and other amenities, further solidifying Dubai's position as a hub for blockchain and crypto innovation.

Enhancing Bitcoin Network Scalability Through Inscriptions

Wednesday. February 5 at 1:00 AM

A report by Mempool Research suggests that widespread adoption of inscriptions could potentially increase Bitcoin's average block size to 4 MB per block, significantly higher than the current 1.5 MB average. Inscriptions allow for efficient encoding of data within blocks, enhancing scalability. In comparison, Solana can store up to 128 MB per block. Following the 2021 Taproot upgrade, Bitcoin blocks have reached 2.4 MB, with a potential for 4 MB. The report projects various growth scenarios, estimating the blockchain to reach 1 TB by late 2026. Bitcoin's ecosystem has evolved post-upgrade, supporting complex activities like token creation and NFT minting. However, competition arises from networks offering larger block sizes. Celestia aims to scale block size to 1 GB. The future of Bitcoin-native DeFi looks promising as institutional adoption rises and the ecosystem matures.

Support for Increasing Ethereum's Gas Limit Grows

Tuesday. February 4 at 6:00 PM

Over 50% of Ethereum validators have shown support for raising the network's gas limit, allowing for more gas to be used in transactions per block. Gaslimit.pics reports that 52% of validators are in favor, surpassing the required threshold. Validators can adjust settings to signal support, avoiding the need for a hard fork. The current gas limit has been around 30 million since August 2021, with plans to increase it. The upcoming Pectra fork, proposed by Vitalik Buterin, aims to further enhance the network. While some argue for a 36-40 million gas limit to boost capacity and reduce fees, concerns about stability and security remain. The community is divided on the ideal limit increase, with a cautious approach favored to prevent network issues. The Pectra fork is set to address these concerns and improve Ethereum's performance.
