- How to identify and protect against routing attacks on the Lightning Network
To protect against routing attacks on the Lightning Network, utilize watchtowers, verify channel state changes, and prioritize well-established payment channels.
Payment channels on the Lightning Network enable users to conduct transactions without having to log each one on the Bitcoin blockchain, which lessens congestion and costs.
However, like any network, the Lightning Network is not immune to security threats, and routing attacks are one of the potential risks. The effectiveness of the network may be affected by these attacks, and users may face financial risks.
This article will explain routing attacks, how they work, their types, and how to identify and avoid them.
- Web3 ecosystem made ‘good strides’ in changing climate narrative, exec says
Celo CEO Marek Olszewski said that blockchains can provide transparency and real-time verification on the state of carbon credits.
While moving to proof-of-stake (PoS) contributes to changing the narrative of blockchains being harmful to the environment, there are still many things that the Web3 ecosystem can do to tackle climate change, according to Marek Olszewski, CEO of Celo — an Ethereum layer-2 scaling solution.
Cointelegraph editor Zhiyuan Sun spoke with Olszewski about the threat of climate change, the benefit of using blockchain-based systems for carbon offsets, and various ways that projects can offset their carbon footprint.
According to Olszewski, as climate change remains a threat to humanity, companies and projects are steering toward becoming carbon neutral
- Ethereum Hard Fork Coin ETHW Down More Than 95% Since The Merg
**Nearly a year after Chandler Guo — the instigator of the Ethereum blockchain’s last hard fork — predicted its rise, the native coin of the breakaway Ethereum proof-of-work blockchain has plummeted by more than 95%. Ethereumpow (ETHW) now trades at a price less than 1% of the U.S. dollar value of ether.

- Zksync Airdrop Confirm?
Token commitments to insiders: Multiple people from ZkSync (Alex Gluchowski, Steve Newcomb, Marco Cora) confirmed that there will be a token. They mentioned that ⅓ of the tokens are reserved for insiders. \[2] This sounds like they have already made a commitment to allocate tokens to key stakeholders. Why would they not launch a token? A token is the best way to monetize your project and get the support of relevant people\

A Token for the Zk Porter: So, I’m collecting every bit of information about the airdrop that I could find & by coincidence I stumbled upon something interesting: The ZkPorter. The ZkPorter is the off-chain Data availability layer for ZkSync. As you know ZkSync validates transactions off-chain in order to scale better. That's what the ZkPorter is for. Anyway, after learning about the ZkPorter, I watched the Bankless interview with Alex Gluchowski from ZkSync and he said something along the lines of \[1]: “We need a token because that's how the ZkPorter will be validated”
- US Lawmakers Call on SEC to Stop Regulatory Assault on Crypto Following XRP Ruling
**U.S. lawmakers have called on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to drop its regulatory assault on the crypto industry following the landmark ruling on the SEC v.

- Bitcoin Mining Operations Continue to Expand Amid the Crypto Winter, While Converting 'Wasted Gas to Energy at Scale'
The bitcoin mining industry continues to expand as companies are obtaining more megawatts of capacity, building new facilities, and acquiring thousands of application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) mining rigs. On Friday, the firm Validus Power revealed it has acquired two natural gas power stations in Ontario, Canada, that will become crypto mining facilities. On the same day, the firm Applied Blockchain got a $15 million loan to fund growth and “buildout of its data centers.” While the bitcoin mining industry’s growth has been exponential, at the same time, bitcoin mining operations are making a significant dent toward cleaning up the world’s CO2 emissions.
