2. Golden Observation | The currency price is about to exceed 100, TVL exceeds Base Metis Andromeda again, showing its dark horse status

On January 5, the OKX market showed that METIS rose to $99 and may enter the hundred-dollar currency club at any time. And Metis Andromeda TVL also surpassed Base again after December 28 to become the third largest Ethereum Layer 2. At the same time, the Goerli test network Cancun upgrade time is determined to be January 17, which will undoubtedly add benefits to the L2 track. However, competition has also intensified, and the battle for the top ten in L2 has become fierce. Except for the top two Arbitrum and Optimism, which are far ahead, there is not much TVL gap between the 3rd and 10th places. Metis Andromeda was able to lead the star player Base twice, and its currency price increased by as much as 800% in less than three months. The growth rate of these two data alone has far exceeded that of similar opponents. At this stage, the network looks like a dark horse, but the second half of the game has just begun. Click to read

3. An in-depth discussion of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)

This article provides an in-depth discussion of Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and Solidity Assembly for smart contract optimization and security. The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) is the core component of the Ethereum network. EVM is a software that allows the deployment and execution of smart contracts written in high-level languages ​​such as Solidity. After the contract is written, it is compiled into bytecode and deployed to the EVM. EVM runs on every node on the Ethereum network. Solidity Assembly is a low-level programming language that allows developers to write code at a level closer to the EVM itself. It provides more granular control over smart contract execution, allowing for optimizations and customizations not possible through higher-level Solidity code alone. Click to read
