WHAT'S UP ------------- Chain Goes Cha-Ching -------------------- The now suddenly 29th-largest digital asset, Chain (XCN), is not to be conf= used with No. 28 Chainlink (LINK) but forgive us for thinking the former is= a bat out of hell. Over 24 hours, the price of XCN flew 70% higher. It's n= ot clear why. Chain, touted as a cloud blockchain infrastructure enterprise, reportedly (= https://kalkinemedia.com/us/news/cryptocurrency/why-chain-xcn-crypto-jumpe= d-over-70-in-30-days ) has built blockchain networks for Nasdaq, Visa and C= itibank. WHAT'S DOWN --------------- ETH's Slide Steepens ------------------------ Ethereum =E2=80=93 second-largest digital asset, transformational juggernau= t, linchpin to DeFi and NFTs =E2=80=93 has lost 13% in the past week (versu= s a 5% loss for biggest-crypto Bitcoin). As of Friday, at 7:55 a.m. (EST), ETH was $1,777.77, having shed 2.2%. The sharp, swift decrease led to more than $150 million in untenable ETH po= sition liquidations, mostly by net-long bulls, according to Coinglass data = cited by Decrypt ( https://decrypt.co/101495/ethereum-liquidations-top-157m= -merge-upgrade-test-hits-snag ). Partly to blame for pervasive ETH erosion, perhaps, is a reported snag dela= ying =E2=80=9Cthe network of network=E2=80=99s=E2=80=9D upcoming "Merge" ev= ent supposedly set to take place later this summer or in the fall. WHAT'S NEXT --------------- Merge Lurches Along; Scaling Projects Speed Ahead ------------------------------------------------- Ethereum=E2=80=99s metamorphosis from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to Proof-of-Stake= (PoS) is being tracked and scrutinized by a community convinced it=E2=80= =99s a generational shift with massive implications. The move to change con= sensus mechanisms used to be called ETH 2.0 but it is now known as "The Mer= ge." Reportedly, the effort experienced a glitch involving an unexpected, unwant= ed network fork veering into a parallel version (of a parallel version) of = Ethereum. The Merge involves the PoW version of Ethereum merging with its PoS counter= part, called the Beacon Chain, and which, as Decrypt pointed out, has been = functional since late 2020. Once complete, the PoW-based version of Ethereu= m will no longer exist; it=E2=80=99ll then become a PoS blockchain network. Why is this important? Well, apparently it paves the way for the next (next= ) thing =E2=80=93 next year. "It is crucial in preparing Ethereum for the next multi-phase upgrade of sh= ard chains," CoinDesk ( https://www.coindesk.com/learn/what-is-the-merge-an= d-why-has-it-taken-so-long/ ) said. Expected in 2023, shard chains are touted as being able to help expand the = network's capacity to scale and store data. Before the Merge took center st= age, shard chains had been a top priority. The accelerated growth of layer-= 2 scaling systems, such as Arbitrum, Optimism and Loopring, however, left m= ost of the Ethereum community convinced that its PoS transition should be t= he No. 1 priority. FOCUS ----- Blockchain Could Have A Role Thwarting Gun Violence --------------------------------------------------- Before shock, horror, anguish and anger give way to defeatism following ano= ther American mass shooting, there are the usual flickers of optimism that = perhaps some solutions can be found if enough people were to say enough is = enough. While it remains possible some moment-seizing mogul can acquire all of the = major assault-rifle makers, roll them into a conglomerate and sell it for s= crap, there are more realistic problem-solving ways and means clamoring for= exploration. Like blockchain. Samantha Radocchia, a.k.a. "Sam Rad," an entrepreneur, speaker and the auth= or of "Bitcoin Pizza: The No-B.S. Guide to Blockchain," pleadingly asserted= ( https://medium.com/hackernoon/will-blockchain-prevent-future-gun-violenc= e-its-up-to-us-c3214197b4c1 ), a few years back, after a deadly shooting at= a church in Sutherland, Texas, that the blockchain can be used to prevent = gun violence. "It=E2=80=99s not an all-powerful savior," she concedes. But it is an issue= s-based framework that brings a broad array of potential solutions to the t= able. Among some of the blockchain-based ideas she underscored as having be= en floated over the years: wallets for tracking guns and ammunition; and us= ing smart contracts for fast, automatic, shared-ledger background checks an= d associated verifications of licenses, health records =E2=80=93 any certif= ication associated with the requirements of owning the gun. Radocchia at the time explained she was compelled ( https://www.youtube.com= /watch?v=3DfMYRegDfUJ0 ), not as a technologist but as a human being, to sp= eak up.
