ConsenSys to Celebrate Shanghai/Capella Upgrade with NFT Drop

Cointime Official

April 11 (Cointime) - As Ethereum approaches a significant milestone in its roadmap, the Shanghai/Capella upgrade, ConsenSys has announced a new NFT collection called Ethereum, Evolved: Shanghai.

The NFT claim window opens on April 12th, 2023, at 9 pm EST and will remain available for 72 hours. Users with a MetaMask wallet can mint the open edition for free (excluding gas fees). For those without a MetaMask wallet, visit MetaMask.io to download and install one, and follow the provided guide to fund it.

Ethereum, Evolved: Shanghai consists of two editions. The first, a commemorative edition, includes two art NFTs symbolizing the themes of liquidity and security. The Shanghai/Capella upgrade aims to increase liquidity in the system by removing barriers to access staked ETH, which will boost global staking participation and enhance network security. As a token of appreciation, ConsenSys will airdrop these commemorative NFTs to Ethereum Core Devs on April 13th, the day following the upgrade's implementation.

The second, open edition, features an NFT that highlights the theme of decentralization. The Shanghai/Capella upgrade will encourage more validator participation, thereby increasing decentralization and improving network security.

  • Analyst: Bitcoin's recent surge may have given investors a false sense of security

    George Milling-Stanley, Chief Gold Strategist at Dow Jones Global Investment Management, believes that the recent surge in Bitcoin may give investors a false sense of security. Milling-Stanley stated, "Simply put, Bitcoin is an investment seeking returns, which suggests that investors are flocking to Bitcoin for capital gains, not because they see the value or use of Bitcoin." The launch of options based on spot Bitcoin ETFs last week may be related to this, as options allow investors to bet on the price volatility of Bitcoin with less cash instead of buying Bitcoin itself.

  • Russian President Vladimir Putin officially signs digital currency tax law

    Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a law regulating the taxation of digital currencies. According to the law, digital currencies are recognized as property. This also applies to currencies used for foreign trade payments within the experimental legal framework (EPR) in the field of digital innovation. Mining and sales of digital currencies are exempt from value-added tax. Operators of mining infrastructure must report to the tax authorities issuing cryptocurrencies for using their services. Failure to submit such information on time may result in a fine of 40,000 rubles. In terms of personal income tax, digital currencies obtained through mining will be classified as physical income (usually used when goods or services are paid for instead of currency). The value of the income currency will be determined based on market quotes. Such income will be subject to progressive taxation, taking into account tax deductions for mining costs. At the same time, the acquisition, sale or other circulation of digital currencies will be subject to two-stage personal income tax rates (13% for income up to 2.4 million rubles, and 15% for income exceeding this amount). They will be included in the same tax base as securities, bank deposits, and other sources of transaction income. As for corporate income tax, digital currency mining will be subject to the standard tax rate (25% from 2025 onwards).
