Onto this week’s updates 🚦

πŸ”΄ Ethereum fees soar πŸ’°

Ethereum's transaction fees just hit an eight-month high, all thanks to a buzz around a cool new digital token idea that got everyone trading like crazy (the ERC-404 if you want to know). This hike in fees shows just how much excitement new digital goodies can bring to the Ethereum world, making it a bit pricier to get in on the action. πŸ–₯️

🟑 Ethereum Staking Boom πŸ“ˆ

A whopping 25% of all Ethereum is now staked on the network, hitting a new high. While staking has become super popular, especially with cool tools like Lido making it more accessible to join, the rewards have dipped from a juicy 8.6% to below 4%. But with over $73 billion worth of Ethereum staked, it's clear everyone's keen on securing the network and earning some rewards. πŸͺ™
