Eth2's Rocket Pool reaches $350M TVL and 635 node operators in five weeks
“In the staking market, there was significant latent demand for a decentralized option — it just needed our launch to spark an inferno,” said Rocket Pool general manager Darren Langley. Rocket Pool, a decentralized Ethereum 2.0 staking platform has surpassed $350 million worth of total value locked (TVL) within five weeks of its official launch. The project aims to remove the barriers to entry for Eth2 stakers and node operators. It allows any user to run a node for 16 ETH ($59,000), which is half of the 32 ETH ($119,000) required in the Eth2 deposit contract. Users with as little as 0.01....

The number of reachable nodes has declined further following an "attack" that overloaded the bitcoin network. Last week, an unknown actor sent a deluge of spam that left bitcoin's nodes - the clients that store and relay transactions - with upwards of 88,000, or 1GB worth, waiting in their collective memory pool. As Jay Feldis from hardware node maker BitSeed explained to CoinDesk, many low-spec nodes simply could not keep up: "Eventually, the transaction backlog fills-up the RAM memory of the nodes. This causes the node computers to slow down dramatically or even freeze-up. If a node....
