ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, data from Nansen shows that as trading activity of Meme coins increases on the network, BNB Chain (BSC) has collected nearly $15 million in gas fees from users over the past 7 days, a surge of 388%, more than double that of Ethereum ($7 million), and second only to Solana ($29 million).Nansen analyst Aurelie Barthere recently stated: "BSC's fees have significantly increased over the past 7 days, while blockchains like Solana, Ethereum, and Base have seen negative growth. A potential catalyst for this growth could be Binance's recent announcement of a 60-day pause in its legal dispute with the U.S. SEC, which was announced on Monday."

ChainCatcher news, according to Nansen data, BNB Chain has surpassed Ethereum in total Gas fees over the past 7 days. Nansen CEO Alex Svanevik stated, "As far as I know, this is the first time in history."Zhao Changpeng commented, "Take it slow and steady."

ChainCatcher message, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin published a new article titled "Reasons to Increase L1 Gas Limit Even in an L2 Dominated Ethereum." The article states that an important recent discussion in the Ethereum roadmap is about how to increase the L1 gas limit.Recently, the L1 gas limit was increased from 30 million to 36 million, a 20% increase in capacity. Many support a further significant increase in the near future. These increases are considered safe due to recent and upcoming technological improvements: enhanced efficiency of Ethereum clients, reduced need for storing old history due to EIP-4444 (see roadmap), and future stateless clients.However, before we go down this path, it is important to ask a question: In the context of a Rollup-centric roadmap, is it the right approach to increase the L1 gas limit in the long term? We do not want to face the centralization risks brought by high L1 usage without truly determining that we will benefit from it.

ChainCatcher news, according to a post by GoPlus on X, GoPlus has identified the relevant addresses of the attackers and has blacklisted them all. It is worth noting that the attackers had sent Gas to multiple addresses using a wallet starting with 0x9AE, but have not yet conducted any Token transfers, giving users a chance to transfer their assets to a safe wallet.The address used by the attackers to distribute Gas: 0x9AEf1CA082c17f9D52Aa98ca861b50c776dECC35Address of the attackers' coin collection 1: 0x49add3e8329f2a2f507238b0a684d03eae205aabCollection address 2: 0x7831d05afc72a10bd475eb4777680b4e9204695aCollection address 3: 0xb312a2c9ab9700dac49798f457b4c28e28f1c4fcCollection address 4: 0xc657b6e6c59af5bcff4de626dab52832e77d2996Users are advised to remain vigilant and regularly check their wallet security.

ChainCatcher message, the Ethereum block explorer Etherscan released a weekly data snapshot indicating that from February 3 to February 9, the number of transactions on the Ethereum mainnet reached 8.84 million, with a median Gas fee of 1.245 gwei and Blob fees amounting to 41.46 ETH.

ChainCatcher message, according to a technical update forwarded by Vitalik, Ethereum L1 has recently completed a dynamic adjustment of the block Gas limit, increasing it from 30M to 36M, which has improved the L1 transaction throughput by 20%, while also expected to reduce transaction fees by 10% to 30%.This adjustment was not decided by any single entity, but is the result of validators gradually adjusting parameters and reaching a consensus. Currently, 49.5% of validators have reported adopting the 36M Gas limit.

ChainCatcher message, Ethereum has reached a consensus to increase the network's Gas limit, with 50% of validators supporting this change to help enhance the network's scalability. The Gas limit is a key parameter that determines the network's transaction capacity. Previously, the Gas limit cap was 30 million, and it has now surpassed 31 million. Adjustments to the Gas limit require approval from more than half of the validators to take effect, and this adjustment was completed yesterday. Once more than 50% of validators express support, the block Gas limit will automatically adjust without the need for a hard fork.This is the first time Ethereum has implemented such a change under the Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism. The last adjustment occurred in 2021, when the Gas limit doubled from 15 million units to 30 million units. According to data from gaslimit.pics, the average Gas limit over the past 24 hours has been 31.5 million units, and it is expected to adjust to a maximum of 36 million units. Although the Dencun upgrade and proto-dank sharding technology have recently improved scalability, increasing the Gas limit remains necessary as the demand and complexity of decentralized applications on Ethereum grow.

ChainCatcher message, according to Etherscan data, today's Ethereum Gas fee has reached 164 Gwei, costing about 8 dollars per transaction.

ChainCatcher news, Uniswap CEO Hayden Adams posted on the X platform: "About 12 hours after launching Uniswap V4, we tested a $1000 ETH to USDT swap. Our on-chain routing suggests completing the token swap from ETH to USDC to USDT through two V4 pools, with a total TVL of $400,000 for the best price.Even though the TVL of the ETH/USDT single liquidity pool in V3 is approximately $150 million, the benefits of pure gas efficiency are starting to show (the cost of native ETH tokens + multi-loop routes is lower), and IMO will be one of the biggest catalysts for V4 growth------lower gas costs = better swap prices = more LP profits. An exciting moment exclusively for automated market maker enthusiasts."

ChainCatcher news, Circle announced on social media the launch of Circle Paymaster, which supports USDC payments for gas fees on Base and Arbitrum.Users no longer need to convert tokens between blockchains; they can simply use USDC for payments, transfers, and gas fees.

ChainCatcher news, cryptocurrency data platform CoinGecko released a research report showing that Ethereum ranks first in blockchain with $2.48 billion in Gas fee revenue in 2024, followed closely by Tron with $2.15 billion, and Bitcoin in third place with $922.89 million.The report pointed out that in 2024, L1 and L2 blockchains collectively earned over $6.89 billion in transaction fees, with L1 on-chain revenue at $6 billion and L2 on-chain revenue at $294.92 million.
