Researchers behind the well-known Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index (CBECI) have officially revised its methodology to enhance the accuracy and reliability of the Index’s estimates for the first time since its inception in 2019.

The CBECI was launched in July 2019 in an effort to provide reliable data-driven insights to questions about Bitcoin mining’s energy-intensive nature and associated environmental impact.

CBECI looked at U.S. import records on Bitcoin mining equipment (left) and estimated computing power derived from import data (right). Researchers used the hash rate (in TH/s) and gross weight stated by the manufacturer and applied an equally weighted mix of the following models from Canaan’s Avalon A1246, Avalon A1266, Avalon A1346 and Avalon A1366

In a separate update, Arkham emphasized that these funds are user balances under custody.

U.Today - The Foundation just pulled the curtain back on its latest innovation: the , or EELS.

EELS has been in the works for over a year and aims to replace the Yellow (OTC:YELLQ) Paper as the go-to guide for Ethereum's inner workings. But unlike its predecessor, EELS is not stuck in the past. It is fully up-to-date with all the latest forks and offers a user-friendly approach that is geared toward programmers.

What is EELS? It provides a complete snapshot of the protocol at every fork, including the ones still on the drawing board. This is a big deal because, until now, Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) have only ever suggested changes.

They have not given developers a full picture of how those changes fit into the existing framework. EELS solves this problem by offering a comprehensive, easy-to-follow guide that could become the new gold standard for Core EIPs.

Nasdaq announced that the United States Securities and Exchange Commission has approved its request to operate the first exchange AI-driven order type on Sept. 8.

Called the dynamic midpoint extended life order (M-ELO), the new system expands on the M-ELO automated order type by making it “dynamic,” meaning it will use artificial intelligence to update and, essentially, recalibrate itself in real-time.
