🚀 Base Emerges As Top Earning Layer 2 Network In Past Year
#Base #Layer2 #L2Network #Ethereum #Revenue #CostEfficiency #Blockchain #Crypto #Profitability #Arbitrum #Linea #ARB
According to Odaily, Ethereum Daily's statistics reveal that over the past year, Base has been the highest-earning Layer 2 (L2) network, generating $64 million in revenue while incurring network costs of only $14 million. This positions Base as a significant player in the L2 space due to its high profitability and efficient cost management.
In comparison, Linea and Arbitrum both secured the second spot in terms of revenue, each earning $58 million. However, their network costs were notably higher. Linea's network expenses amounted to $27 million, whereas Arbitrum's costs reached $36 million. These figures highlight the varying cost structures and efficiencies among different L2 networks, with Base leading in terms of net revenue.
The data underscores the competitive landscape of L2 networks, where revenue generation and cost efficiency are critical metrics for success. Base's ability to maintain low operational costs while achieving high revenue sets a benchmark for other networks in the industry.#Base #Layer2 #L2Network #Ethereum #Revenue #CostEfficiency #Blockchain #Crypto #Profitability #Arbitrum #Linea #ARB

🚀 OpenTensor Foundation Co-Founder Highlights DeepSeek's Impact on Centralized AI
#OpenTensor #DeepSeek #CentralizedAI #OpenSourceAI #Innovation #CollectiveIntelligence #Regulation #AIModels #CostEfficiency #AcademicResearch
According to Odaily, Ala Shaabana, co-founder of the OpenTensor Foundation, highlighted that the release of DeepSeek was achieved at a fraction of the cost required for leading models, reinforcing the position of open-source AI as a significant challenge to centralized projects. Shaabana noted that DeepSeek questions the centralized AI model, which involves development and training costs running into tens of billions of dollars. He stated, "DeepSeek has established a truly high-performance model in a more open and collaborative manner. It demonstrates that factors like efficiency, collective intelligence, and innovation can indeed rival sheer financial power."
Shaabana attributed the rapid advancement of open-source AI and the narrowing gap with centralized systems to a procedural shift in academia, which now requires researchers to include their code in papers submitted for journal publication. He further mentioned that increased regulation of centralized systems, including potential geographic data restrictions due to geopolitical tensions, could impose additional burdens on centralized AI projects. The regulatory costs and burdens resulting from strengthened oversight are expected to widen the gap between centralized and open-source systems, as open-source systems are less susceptible to these constraints.#OpenTensor #DeepSeek #CentralizedAI #OpenSourceAI #Innovation #CollectiveIntelligence #Regulation #AIModels #CostEfficiency #AcademicResearch

🚀 Ethereum Developer Questions Gas Limit Increase Amid Cost Concerns
#Ethereum #GasLimit #TimBeiko #Layer1 #Scalability #CostEfficiency #Blockchain #DeFi #ETH
According to Foresight News, Ethereum core developer Tim Beiko has raised a question regarding the potential increase of the gas limit by tenfold. Beiko suggested that to achieve this increase, the gas costs for CREATE, CREATE2, and SSTORE operations would also need to be raised by ten times. He questioned whether this would constitute a net improvement and asked for opinions on whether state growth, as the primary bottleneck for expanding Layer 1 gas, should be addressed through pricing.
Beiko initiated a poll on the platform X, offering options such as 'gas limit and opcode cost' and 'do not increase storage costs.' The discussion highlights ongoing considerations within the Ethereum community about balancing network scalability and cost efficiency.#Ethereum #GasLimit #TimBeiko #Layer1 #Scalability #CostEfficiency #Blockchain #DeFi #ETH
🚀 Base Network Aims for Speed and Cost Efficiency Amid Decentralization Efforts
#BaseNetwork #Decentralization #Speed #CostEfficiency #VitalikButerin #Blockchain #Layer2 #Transactions #Throughput #CensorshipResistance
According to PANews, Jesse Pollak, the head of Base, recently outlined the network's objectives to achieve rapid speeds, low costs, and high throughput. The goals include a target speed of 200 milliseconds, transaction fees under $0.01, and a throughput of 200 transactions per second. Pollak emphasized the gradual decentralization of the network through the implementation of Vitalik Buterin's phase 1 and 2 plans.
Addressing concerns about the centralization of sequencers, Pollak stated that more sequencer nodes would be introduced in the short to medium term. He highlighted that the primary goal is to achieve CR attributes, such as neutrality and protection against sandwich attacks, rather than solely focusing on sequencer decentralization.
Vitalik Buterin also noted that for Layer 2 solutions, features like fast withdrawals and censorship-resistant channels should take precedence over complete sequencer decentralization.#BaseNetwork #Decentralization #Speed #CostEfficiency #VitalikButerin #Blockchain #Layer2 #Transactions #Throughput #CensorshipResistance

Hong Kong Express, a subsidiary of Cathay Pacific, reported a net loss of 996 million HKD before financial expenses and taxes last year, marking a nearly fourfold increase in losses compared to the previous year. According to RTHK, CEO Lam Siu Po attributed the substantial loss to rumors of an earthquake in Japan, which impacted the airline's operations. Traditionally, Hong Kong Express relies heavily on its Japanese routes. Additionally, the airline introduced 12 new destinations last year, some of which require time to develop.
Lam noted that flights to Japan and demand have returned to normal levels. The airline's performance in the first two months of this year has improved, and Lam expressed confidence that Hong Kong Express will achieve profitability. This optimism is based on improvements in several fundamental factors, including cost efficiency and aircraft utilization.#HongKongExpress #CathayPacific #NetLoss #AirlineIndustry #JapanRoutes #CEO #LamSiuPo #AirlineChallenges #FinancialLoss #CostEfficiency #AircraftUtilization #TravelIndustry #HongKong
