The IRS has announced the introduction of Form 1099-DA, which will be used by digital asset brokers to report sales starting in 2025. According to NS3.AI, this form requires brokers to disclose gross proceeds from digital asset transactions but does not mandate the reporting of the cost basis. This omission has led to confusion among investors, who now face the challenge of reconstructing their purchase cost information, particularly when assets are transferred between different wallets and exchanges. The new reporting system raises concerns about potential tax overpayments or receiving IRS notices due to discrepancies in reported figures. As a result, there is a growing trend among investors to maintain their cryptocurrency holdings within single custodial accounts to simplify tracking and reporting.

Base, a decentralized Ethereum layer-2 scaling network, announced on Wednesday its transition from utilizing the L2 blockchain protocol Optimism’s tech stack to operating on its own unified software architecture. According to Cointelegraph, this shift aims to reduce reliance on external service providers and expedite the deployment of new upgrades. Launched in 2023 as an Optimism chain, Base is now consolidating its operations to streamline software packaging and release processes. The team stated that each upgrade will feature a single Base binary for node operation, simplifying the network's sequencer, which is crucial for transaction ordering by validators. The transition will occur in four phases, as outlined in the project's roadmap, requiring node operators to adopt the new Base client over the coming months for official updates. This move comes amid broader discussions in the Ethereum community about the future of layer-2 scaling networks. Earlier this month, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin expressed a shift in perspective regarding the role of L2s in scaling Ethereum. He noted that while L2s are taking longer to achieve full decentralization, the Ethereum L1 is already scaling effectively with low network fees. Buterin suggested that the original vision for L2s needs reevaluation, prompting mixed reactions from L2 teams. Base founder Jesse Pollak responded positively to Ethereum's L1 scaling, emphasizing that L2s must evolve beyond being merely cost-effective execution layers for Ethereum. Other L2 founders maintain that scaling layers are aligned with Ethereum's long-term objectives. As of the time of publication, there are over 128 different Ethereum L2 scaling networks, according to L2Beat. This development highlights the ongoing evolution and adaptation within the Ethereum ecosystem as it seeks to enhance efficiency and scalability.
