Where to swap Bitcoin for Ethereum without risk?
Ethereum (Reddit)

Hey!

I hold Bitcoin in my Ledger wallet and I'm looking to buy ETH in a decentralized way.

I want to avoid centralized exchanges like Kraken due to the risk of frozen funds.

Does anyone know platforms that allow BTC-to-ETH swaps in a trustless or peer-to-peer setup?

I’ve come across few options but I'm not sure if they work smoothly with Ledger.

Any tips or recommendations would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Justin Drake on ZK Podcast — digging into what Ethproofs actually is
Ethereum (Reddit)

We asked Justin a simple question: what is Ethproofs? Meme, benchmarking infra, working group, or early-stage subculture (Flashbots vibes)?

Some takeaways from the discussion:

— Managed inside EF by a new zkEVM working group, but intentionally porous (calls, TG, site).
— Purpose: align zkVM innovation toward real-time proving on Ethereum.
— Past perf battles were “marketing benchmarks” on cherry-picked hardware → Ethproofs sets rules, reduces noise.
— zkVM teams are trending toward RISC-V ISA + GPU acceleration.
— EF is shaping benchmark categories; long-term path points to enshrined zkVM(s) at L1.
— Future scope may include privacy + client-side proving metrics.
— Hardware angle: speculation on Nvidia building zk-specific GPUs (“ZPUs”).
— EF posted a $1M bounty for proof of the correlated agreement conjecture.
— Current tally: 32 zkVM projects in scope.

what september could bring for ethereum...strongest q3 since 2015 has me bullish
Ethereum (Reddit)

So we're witnessing something historic here. eth just posted an 83% gain in q3 - that's the strongest third quarter performance since the network launched in 2015. for context, the historical median for q3 is only 8.19%.

the numbers that matter:
briefly hit $4,946 on august 25th (new ath)

currently around $4,550 after pulling back 8%
$11 billion in institutional inflows this year alone
us eth etfs now holding over $23 billion
35 million eth staked (29% of total supply)

why september could be massive:

history shows strong q3 performance often leads to explosive q4 runs. in 2017, a 27% q3 gain led to eth tripling over the next six months. 2021 saw a 31% q3 rally followed by a surge from $2,300 to nearly $4,900 by november.

the institutional money keeps flowing. coinshares reported $3.75 billion in weekly inflows mid-august, with ethereum products taking 77% of that. ishares trust...

Wallet sending tokens
Ethereum (Reddit)

Why is my trezor wallet listing transactions that I did not initiate?

I am getting transactions listed in my eth address on trezor suite that are not my addresses when I check them on blockchain explorer?

I have little funds in this wallet and they have not been touched, but this seems different than what I have read about address poisoning since I am ‘sending’ the tokens, not receiving them. Any insight would be appreciated
