BNB Chain has implemented new optimization measures for the BSC network amid a surge in memecoin transactions, driving up gas fees and causing congestion.
Currently, validators on BSC stop processing transactions when the block limit is reached, with each block created every 3 seconds. However, when traffic spikes, many time-sensitive transactions, such as memecoin swaps, may not be confirmed in time.

Vitalik Buterin reveals long-term solution for Ethereum
Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, has announced a long-term solution to enhance the decentralization and scalability of Ethereum. To address concerns about the increasing complexity of operating light clients in the ecosystem prioritizing rollups, Vitalik has proposed a solution based on Ethereum Request for Comment (ERC), similar to EIP-3668.
This solution could create a breakthrough in verifying the status of Layer-2 (L2) networks in a more decentralized and efficient way. As Ethereum expands horizontally through rollup, the community is asking how wallets and applications will manage multiple light clients without relying on centralized third parties.

Argentine President faces impeachment risk after LIBRA memecoin scandal
On 14/2, President Milei posted on X, praising the LIBRA memecoin as a tool to boost the Argentine economy and support small businesses. Within a few hours, the LIBRA price skyrocketed, pushing the market capitalization to over $4 billion. This strong uptrend brought huge profits to those involved, with at least 8 internal wallets withdrawing $57.6 million and 249,671 SOL worth $49.7 million, according to data from Lookonchain.
However, after the frenzy, LIBRA plummeted, causing massive losses for investors. This event raised suspicions of a pump & dump scheme, prompting Milei to hastily delete the post and declare that he did not have in-depth knowledge of this project.
