Did the ERC-404 Token Standard Just Revolutionize NFT Ownership?

The ERC-404 Token Standard represents a significant advancement in the blockchain domain, blending the best aspects of ERC-20 fungible tokens and ERC-721 non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to introduce the concept of semi-fungible tokens or “hybrid tokens”. This innovative standard facilitates the fractional ownership of NFTs, thereby democratizing access to high-value digital assets and expanding investment possibilities within the NFT ecosystem. By allowing the direct fractionalization of NFTs within the token standard itself—without the need for external platforms—ERC-404 simplifies the process, enhances market liquidity, and broadens participation in the ownership of NFTs.

A Complete Guide to the Ethereum Dencun Upgrade

Ethereum's Cancun-Deneb (“Dencun”) hard fork upgrade has been successfully activated on all testnets, setting the stage for its mainnet debut on March 13, 2024. At the heart of this pivotal upgrade lies 'protodanksharding' through EIP-4844, implemented to dramatically lower the transaction costs associated with Layer 2 solutions. Building on the advancements of the Shapella upgrade, Dencun introduces innovative elements such as ephemeral data blobs (or ‘blobs’) and boosts both the consensus and execution layers of Ethereum. As the mainnet launch approaches, node operators and stakers are urged to update their systems, ensuring they're aligned with the upgrade's numerous key protocol changes, all designed to enhance Ethereum's scalability and operational efficiency.
