Vitalik Buterin announced an Ethereum upgrade called "The Verge". It will make the network more secure and accessible by allowing nodes to run on devices the size of a phone or smartwatch 📱.

- **Static Verification**: Nodes will be able to verify blocks without storing large amounts of data.

- **Verkle Trees vs. STARKs**: New cryptographic structures are being discussed to improve security.

- **Multidimensional Gas**: Changes to the gas fee system to improve network scalability.

We'll be keeping an eye on the development!
