Ethereum is set to replace its Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) with Ewasm (Ethereum-flavored WebAssembly) to address scalability and efficiency issues. The EVM, while functional, struggles under heavy traffic, leading to slower transaction times. Ewasm, a modified version of WebAssembly, promises faster execution, support for multiple programming languages (C, C++, Rust), and integration with major JavaScript engines. This upgrade, combined with sharding and the Beacon Chain, will significantly boost Ethereum’s throughput and eliminate the need for precompilation, streamlining smart contract development. Critics remain, but Ewasm could be the key to Ethereum’s goal of becoming a global decentralized computer.

Phishing scammers are leveraging Google’s ecosystem to create highly convincing attacks, using valid DKIM signatures to bypass spam filters. These emails mimic Google security alerts, directing victims to fake support portals hosted on Google subdomains. Once users log in, attackers harvest credentials, potentially compromising Gmail and linked crypto wallets. The phishing sites are built using Google Sites, which allows custom scripts and lacks direct abuse reporting. Despite Johnson’s bug report, Google dismissed the issue as ‘working as intended.’ This highlights the growing sophistication of crypto phishing, with Scam Sniffer reporting $21.94M in losses in Q1 2025 alone.
