Leonidas, the developer of Ordinals, posted on the , and will never recover. Ethereum does not have dozens of fungible and non-fungible token standards, it has ERC-20 and ERC-721, if you want your project to be available in all wallets, markets and browsers show, then you have to deploy it on the standard with the strongest network effects. That's why I don't use or publish all other meta-protocols. While some of them are technically interesting, I don't think any of them One that will become Bitcoin's de facto standard for fungible or non-fungible tokens. I may be wrong, but in other mature Web3 ecosystems, even if they make interesting technical trade-offs, they are not very good. There are precedents for having multiple popular standards for a primitive. Given enough time, network effects will always make one standard more successful than others."

According to PANews, data from Dune Analytics shows that Ethereum blobs are being used to create inscriptions, similar to Ordinal on Bitcoin, and usage has reached a new record. Dune Analytics platform user Hildobby reported that on March 27, there were 2,437 blob inscriptions, accounting for 22.8% of the total blobs released that day. This is the highest usage rate among other Ethereum Layer 2 solutions, such as Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, and Linea. In addition, the increase in the number of blob inscriptions coincided with a surge in fees on Base, which at one point reached $300 before dropping to around $30. Ethereum's slot utilization rate is also declining, possibly due to blobs causing an increase in block size. Hildobby wrote on the Dune Analytics website: 'Inscriptions on the EVM chain are data embeddings in transaction call data, similar to Ordinal on Bitcoin, designed to mimic the diversity of smart contract-based ERC-20 and NFTs. However, inscriptions go against the design decisions of the EVM, with gas costs being the only benefit, but at the expense of indexing, incompatibility, and integration challenges.'

The TruStake vault has posted a MATIC yield of about 5% annual percent yield in the last nine months, according to Laser Digital. The Polygon Adoption Fund uses the Polygon AggLayer, designed to connect zero-knowledge technology-enabled layer-1 or layer-2 blockchains for cross-chain transactions almost instantly. Sebastien Guglietta, head of Laser Digital Asset Management, said the company aims to 'transform DeFi investment opportunities into investable [traditional finance] solutions.' The fund will initially be available to institutional investors in the United Kingdom.
