Vitalik's recent focus on Ethereum as the "world ledger" instead of the "world computer" offers a clearer narrative. Positioning Ethereum as a foundational layer for global asset storage, financial systems, governance, and high-value data authentication aligns with a long-term vision that's both ambitious and relatable. However, the immediate priority remains reclaiming L1's dominance. Scaling Ethereum at the base layer and addressing L2 liquidity fragmentation are critical steps to secure the network's future. Solving these challenges now buys time for strategic evolution, ensuring Ethereum stays ahead as the backbone of decentralized value.

This approval will be instrumental in shifting institutional perceptions of Solana because it provides investors with a regulated vehicle to gain exposure to SOL without any of the risks of owning the token onchain.

The idea for a “DOGE dividend” initially came from James Fishback, CEO of investment firm Azoria — a reported outside adviser to DOGE who floated the idea on X. The plan, which Musk said he would show to the president, would divide the $2 trillion by the roughly “79 million tax-paying households” that are “net payers” of income tax, resulting in a roughly $5,000 dividend per household.

The pseudonymous X user Momentum Chaser pointed out several reporting errors in DOGE’s calculations. First was an $8 million Department of Homeland Security contract that was incorrectly reported as $8 billion.

Another large ticket item shows what appears to be nearly $2 billion spread across three $655 million contracts for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) — one of the first organizations targeted by DOGE.

However, DOGE reportedly counted this incorrectly as well: It was an indefinite delivery vehicle (IDV), not a contract. It was triple counted — the total amount was $655 million — and only $73 million in total was rewarded.

DOGE, for its part, maintains that it has always used the correct number and that discrepancies can occur occasionally, which it aims to quickly correct.

The poster offered several other examples, too, all of which were individually updated on the DOGE website the following day to reflect the correct amount. However, the $55 billion count stayed the same — a discrepancy also observed by The New York Times.

The accounting inconsistency is of particular significance given the scope and speed at which DOGE is moving and the legal controversy it has courted in the course of its activities.

Some 14 US states filed a request for a restraining order against the agency — which a federal judge denied — as DOGE cuts services and funding that many argue are essential.

It has also laid off special education and student aid specialists from the Department of Education, including a $900 million cut from the budget of the Institute of Education Sciences — a wing of the department that tracks student progress.
