Ethereum researcher Justin Drake said on Aug. 13 that the Ethereum Foundation is abandoning Poseidon for future layer-1 (L1) designs and pivoting toward SHA or BLAKE hashes after eight years of work on specialized, proof-friendly cryptography.Drake reported no break in Poseidon and issued no migration order, noting that recent gains in proof systems changed the performance tradeoff that had favored the hash.SNARKs produce compact proofs that a computation was performed correctly. Many use arithmetic over large prime fields, where the bitwise operations behind conventional hashes such as SHA-256 and Keccak historically imposed a high proving cost. Poseidon was designed to…
PredictionBubbles is a dashboard that maps prediction markets, such as Polymarket and Kalshi, onto one screen.The platform turns its tradable questions into bubbles that show probability, price movement, and volume, offering a discovery view of two venues that have traditionally required users to browse individual markets.The live site lets users size bubbles by open interest, 24-hour volume, or an activity ratio, then filter by category, platform, expiry, probability, and open interest. The format resembles the screeners and heat maps used to scan stocks or crypto assets.
