Stopping MEV Attacks: How EthPar Restores Fairness to Ethereum Transactions

March 31, 2025•Les & Lee

MEV attacks, like the $650K sandwich exploit reported by EigenPhi, expose Ethereum users to unfair transaction manipulation. EthPar prevents these attacks at the protocol level through parallel block validation, eliminating exploitable transaction ordering. By removing dependence on MEV Boost and reducing finality time, EthPar ensures fair, fast, and secure execution for all users—without requiring changes from developers.

Ethereum Can't Handle AI—It's Time for Something Better

February 14, 2025•Les & Lee

AI is no longer a distant concept. It’s here. Autonomous agents, self-executing smart contracts, AI-powered trading bots—these are the next wave of blockchain applications. But Ethereum wasn’t built for AI. It wasn’t designed for a world where thousands, even millions, of machine-driven transactions need to happen in real time.

ETHPAR is Ethereum for AI

January 9, 2025•Les & Lee

As blockchain technology evolves, artificial intelligence (AI) agents are emerging as one of the most promising advancements in decentralized ecosystems. EthPar is not just another Ethereum fork—it’s a transformation of Layer 1 blockchain capabilities, engineered to address the scalability, cost, and decentralization challenges AI-driven systems face today. By combining Ethereum’s robust foundation with groundbreaking parallelization techniques, EthPar delivers the infrastructure necessary to unlock the full potential of agentic systems and AI applications.

A Love Letter to Ethereum

December 19, 2024•Les & Lee

Ethereum revolutionized the blockchain world, bringing us DeFi, NFTs, and countless innovations. However, its massive success has led to issues like high gas fees and slow transactions, much like an overcrowded city. While Layer 2 solutions offer some relief, they’re not always ideal for everyone. Enter EthPar: a parallel blockchain built out of love for Ethereum. EthPar preserves Ethereum’s decentralization, security, and community while solving scalability issues. It offers fast transactions and low gas fees without sacrificing Ethereum’s core values. EthPar isn’t trying to replace Ethereum but rather complement it, creating a smoother, more accessible experience for all. If you love Ethereum but want a more efficient alternative, EthPar is here—Ethereum, just parallel.

Growth Stage EthPar

December 3, 2024•by Les & Lee

Remember when DeFi was all about limitless possibilities, only to be held back by Ethereum’s growing pains? EthPar is here to change the narrative. By parallelizing block validation and slashing gas fees, EthPar unlocks scalability, affordability, and accessibility—empowering organizations to thrive without compromising on user experience or innovation. It’s not just an upgrade; it’s a revival of what DeFi was meant to be.

Rethinking Gas Fees: The EthPar Solution

November 18, 2024•by Les & Lee

High gas fees have long been a barrier for DeFi on Ethereum, especially for smaller transactions or projects with limited funding. EthPar tackles this challenge by enhancing Ethereum's Layer 1 through parallelization, creating and validating multiple blocks simultaneously. This innovative approach increases network throughput, reducing congestion and leading to lower, more predictable gas fees across the network. Because EthPar maintains full compatibility with existing Ethereum smart contracts and tools, developers and users can benefit from these improvements without needing to change anything. By optimizing the network's efficiency through parallel processing, EthPar makes DeFi transactions significantly more affordable and accessible for all users.

Ethereum Forked Itself

October 10, 2024•by Les & Lee

Remember when Ethereum was the rebellious teenager of the blockchain world, breaking boundaries and challenging the status quo? Well, somewhere along the line, Ethereum traded its leather jacket for a corporate suit. As passionate advocates of the original Ethereum—the one that dared to dream big on Layer 1—we couldn’t sit by and watch it drift away. That’s why we’re introducing EthPar, a parallelized version of Ethereum, designed to revive the core principles by enabling the creation and validation of multiple blocks simultaneously on Layer 1.
