ConsenSys, a blockchain software technology company, has announced the launch of their EVM-equivalent zkEVM rollup to public testnet on March 28, 2023. The rollup is a layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum that utilizes zero-knowledge proofs to increase transaction throughput and reduce gas costs. With the public testnet, any dApp developer or protocol can join the network and test their smart contracts, providing an opportunity to improve the performance and scalability of their applications. This launch is expected to have a significant impact on the Ethereum ecosystem, as it provides a secure and efficient solution to increase the network's capacity.

The Helium Network, a decentralized wireless infrastructure provider that operates using blockchain technology, has announced its migration to the Solana blockchain on March 27th, 2023. This move is expected to address scaling bottlenecks for Proof-of-Coverage and Data Transfer processing.

The Ethereum community is gearing up for the upcoming Shapella upgrade, which is set to take place on the Sepolia testnet on February 28th. The upgrade contains many features, but one of the most important ones for stakers and the consensus layer is the enabling of withdrawals. To ensure a smooth transition to the new protocol, a new testnet has been launched: the Zhejiang testnet.

On March 15th, the STG token will undergo a migration process to new addresses. This decision was made following a successful vote on Snapshot, a decentralized governance platform that allows users to propose and vote on changes to decentralized protocols.
