<p>The co-founder of Ethereum,&nbsp;<strong>Vitalik Buterin</strong>&nbsp;transferred 3,000 ETH, approximately $8 million to a multi-sig wallet. The transaction spotted by Lookonchain took place on August 9, 2024, and people questioned whether it was a donation or a transfer of funds from within.</p>
<p>Analysts stated that the destination wallet with the 3,000 ETH has ties with Buterin through the signatories. This link could mean that the transfer is an internal transfer and not a contribution to a charity. The ongoing analysis continues as the community watches subsequent moves from the addresses.</p>

<p>The recent transaction is related to other activities connected with Buterin’s wallets. On August 5, another wallet linked to Buterin, termed “Vb 3,” sent an exact 3,000 ETH back to the main wallet of Buterin. The historical analysis revealed that this “Vb 3” wallet was active before and was involved in transfers connected to Buterin’s main wallet.</p>
<p>However, Buterin’s wallet interactions are not limited to just ETH. Lately, he carried out a significant token sale where he swapped 17.15 billion&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/2024/08/05/justin-sun-vitalik-buterin-impact-cryptocurrency/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Neiro tokens</a>&nbsp;for 44.53 ETH on the Uniswap V2 platform. This transaction affected Neiro’s market value for a while, but then it stabilized.</p>
<p>The activities depict that Buterin is still an influential and active player in the market of cryptocurrencies.</p>

<p>In this regard,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/2024/07/18/vitalik-buterin-warns-against-crypto-based-political-endorsements/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Vitalik Buterin</a>&nbsp;has also been quite an active participant in the introduction of new technologies within the Ethereum environment. He recently supported ERC-7683, a proposed enhancement to the cross-chain trade execution. The initiative aims to improve the flow of activities in decentralized networks by standardizing the process.</p>
<p>Buterin referred to ERC-7683 as an “open standard for marking cross-chain orders,” which would allow for seamless asset transfers between different blockchains. This involves a secure transfer mechanism in which the assets are locked in a “lockbox” and can only be released to other entities that prove their identity on the receiving blockchain.</p>

<p>If implemented, the proposal may enhance the capability of cross-chain operations and the broader integration of blockchains.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-surge-in-ethereum-layer-2-activity"><strong>Surge in Ethereum Layer-2 Activity</strong></h2>
<p>Also, statistics reveal that Ethereum has scored a big win through&nbsp;<strong>layer-2 solutions</strong>&nbsp;such as Base, Arbitrum, Blast, Optimism, and Mantle. On August 7, these platforms were averaging 318 transactions in one second. This is due to the rapid increase of innovative networks including Xai and Proof of Play.</p>
<p>The Total Value Locked (TVL) of these layer-2 solutions now equals $11.7B natively and $36.7B when including the bridge deposits. At the same time, more than 8.5 million addresses were recorded on L2s in July.</p>

<p>This remarkable increase in layer-2 transactions demonstrates Ethereum’s capacity to handle a volume that is 24 times greater than that of the base chain. By reducing the operational costs associated with rollups, these developments enhance transaction efficiency.</p>
<p>The activities and capabilities of Ethereum’s layer-2 networks are pivotal as Ether eyes a recovery to the $3,000 price level.</p>
