▌Daily ETH destruction on the Ethereum network hit a record low last Saturday
According to data from The Block, the Ethereum network destroyed only 53.07 ETH in a single day last Saturday, which is worth about $106,000 at current prices, a record low, indicating a significant reduction in demand for Ethereum block space.
Ethereum's EIP-1559 change simplifies the transaction fee process while requiring the network to destroy all ETH used to pay basic transaction fees. The mechanism is designed to reduce inflationary pressure and may make Ethereum a deflationary asset during peak network activity.
In addition, the seven-day moving average of active addresses recently fell to its lowest value since October 2024. The number of new address creations, the number of transactions, and daily transaction volume have also declined in recent weeks.

▌Developers Port Tornado Cash to MegaETH Testnet
According to The Block, developer Gunboats ported the Tornado Cash protocol to the MegaETH public testnet, which supports 20,000 transactions per second.
Inspired by the U.S. Treasury Department's lifting of sanctions on Tornado Cash, Gunboats deployed it to MegaETH and named it ETHTornado. He used the Truffle framework to complete the porting and said that Solidity smart contracts can now be easily written through Foundry.
Gunboats believes that such restrictions are meaningless and emphasizes that the current low activity of ETHTornado is mainly due to the lack of an easy-to-use front end.
