    EU Commissioner Says It’s Time to Define ‘Healthy Competition’ in the Metaverse

    Margrethe Vestager, the European Union's competition, and digital affairs commissioner, wants to promote fair competition in metaverses, according to a speech in Brussels today. Noting the rapid growth in the digital economy over the course of the coronavirus pandemic, Vestager believes that the metaverse should yield new opportunities, but that historically, "dominance, entrenched positions, and abuses have rather been the norm." Vestager said regulators "need to anticipate and plan for change,...

    Ethereum Developers to Let Goerli Testnet ‘Slowly Die’ as Coin Price Soars

    GETH, the native asset powering the Ethereum testnet Goerli, is soaring. And that’s a problem. The testnet token peaked at $1.60 on Saturday and is now trading, according to CoinGecko, at about $0.31—and the fact that a testnet currency is even listed on price-tracking sites is indicative that something has gone wrong. More importantly, though, developers are now turning away from testing their apps on it due to the new costs. Ethereum developer ​​Marius van der Wijden told Decrypt that the pro...

    The cryptocurrency market is enjoying some relief today after a rough start to the month.

    Ready to GHO? Aave Launches Native Stablecoin on Ethereum Testnet

    Aave Companies, the firm behind the eponymously-named lending and borrowing protocol, are launching its native stablecoin GHO on the Ethereum Goerli testnet. Pronounced “GO,” the stablecoin is fully decentralized and over-collateralized. Its design ensures the GHO oracle price is always fixed one-to-one with the U.S. dollar, as minting will be through assets supplied as collateral in the Aave Protocol.

    The community behind the Elon Musk-inspired meme coin Floki just voted to take down one of its key bridges.  The bridge in question lets users move Ethereum-based Floki tokens over to the BNB Chain. Different blockchains are usually incompatible and need a “bridge” to move tokens from one network to another. To deconstruct the bridge, the project is burning (crypto lingo for destroying) 4.97 trillion Floki tokens. Those tokens, on the open market, would be worth over $117 million. So does that m...
