Ethereum News
Nick Jhonson shared a proposal for a change to the EIP lifecycle.
Souptacular updated about Metropolis 2 (Constantinople) progress so far :

- At this time there are just too few EIPs that would take away too much time from other efforts to justify pushing Metro too soon before we have significant progress (even more so than today) on things like Casper and sharding.
Vlad Zamfir, a lead developer of Ethereum involved in developing Casper, has recently added a poll on twitter and the result shows that 57% users support hard fork Reddit
A research by Tokenthusiast says More Than 70% of Ethereum DApps are Games.
