According to Ethereum Foundation researcher Justin Drake, the code specifications for the first phase of ethereum’s transition to a proof-of-stake (PoS) network will be finalized by the end of June. Such specifications will show developers how to work on Ethereum’s next-generation Blockchain.

Ethereum has been looking towards a major upgrade, dubbed Ethereum 2.0, which will update how the network creates blocks and verifies transactions.

According to Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin, the new version of Ethereum will have two major flagship components. “One is Casper, which is our proof-of-stake algorithm which replaces mining…with something that we consider to be much more efficient,” Buterin said during the Ethereum conference ETHCapetown . “The second part is sharding which is this massive scalability improvement which happens because you don’t need every computer in the network to process every transaction in the network anymore.

By updating the network the team at Ethereum is confident that they can process transactions 1,000 times faster than the current speed.

Smart Dubai uses Blockchain for Data Storage

Smart Dubai, an ambitious technology project that aims to transform the lives of the Dubai residents, has partnered with Outlier Ventures, a company that is using the latest technologies available such as AI, and Blockchain to build the world’s first decentralized data architecture.

The United Arab Emirates recognize data as the world’s first limitless asset, this means that finding new ways to organize data, using decentralized platforms will not only be secure but also will set the country on a shortcut to accelerate its digital transformation journey.

Under the current standards, the management and monetization of data are often being done by centralized companies which make them very vulnerable to cyber threats, not to mention lack of transparency and privacy from the side of the user.

By using these new methods users will be able to manage, monetize and secure their data, without giving away the benefits of data sharing which is something that benefits both the user, private companies, and of course governments.
