Welcome to the alpha please newsletter. I curate five alpha tweets every Friday; that’s it, that’s the newsletter.
1. How Ethereum gets to 100 TPS
The merge is set to happen in mid-late September, and then the next phase “The Surge" begins. Miles puts together a helpful breakdown of the Ethereum key phases. And yes, those phase names are real.

2. Thoughts on ETH’s up trend
ETH has been on a tear since briefly heading back down to triple digits. And everyone will be asking the same question right now. What next?

4. The zkEVM
It’s been the week of the zkEVM, as three different teams announced the release of their respective L2 solution. Some call the zkEVM the holy grail of scaling. Let foobar spoon feed you the info.

5. Bitcoin selling analysis
The Luna Foundation Guard, Celsius, Tesla, 3AC, miners and every over leveraged degen out there have been selling BTC over the last few months. Vetle has tracked and analysed what happened.
