Ethereum Hits Milestone with 120 Million Ether Supply

1 min. read

The decentralized open-source blockchain platform Ethereum has achieved a significant milestone with the total supply of Ether reaching 120 million. Staking and restaking of Ether have seen a surge in adoption, strengthening its proof-of-stake consensus mechanism. Ultrasound.money data shows an increase in ETH supply to around 120.28 million, with 77,091 ETH issued in the last 30 days. The annual inflation rate for ETH total supply is 0.583%. Despite 19,438 ETH being burned, resulting in a net supply increase of 57,653 ETH, the supply growth rate stands at 0.58% annually. Ethereum's shift to PoS has enhanced network security and participation rewards, but the current staked ETH worth over half a trillion dollars is contributing to further issuance. The rise in restaking, as seen on platforms like EigenLayer, Symbiotic, and Karak, could indirectly impact Ethereum's inflationary supply.

Tuesday. December 10 at 1:00 AM

Radiant Capital alleges that hackers from North Korea orchestrated a $50 million hack on their DeFi protocol. The cybersecurity firm Mandiant identified a DPRK-nexus threat actor behind the attack. The hackers disguised themselves as a trusted former contractor to distribute malware through a fake project file. The malware created a macOS backdoor and communicated with a seemingly harmless domain. Despite following security protocols, the hackers bypassed Tenderly's measures and compromised multiple developer devices. The malicious transactions went undetected due to the seamless deception. Radiant Capital's loss highlights the sophistication of the attack and the need for heightened cybersecurity measures in the DeFi space. The incident serves as a cautionary tale for organizations to remain vigilant against evolving cyber threats.
