"We are able to extend the @ethereum through a real-time proving and synchronously composable rollup framework." @VitalikButerin interviewed with @jbaylina about the technical primitives of the @etheconomiczone at @EthPrague, diving deep into solving the L2 fragmentation

The model is no longer just ours. @Gitcoin is deploying $1M into an @OctantApp v2 vault. Octant is matching with another $1M. Together, that capital generates ongoing yield routed to the funding rounds Gitcoin governance chooses, while principal stays intact. We built v2 so

fxUSD supply just crossed $40M. No t-bills. No bank deposits. No opaque boxes. Nothing to trust. Just ETH and BTC, onchain, backing every dollar. This is what decentralized stables look like.

Liquity is built on Ethereum. @LiquityProtocol lets users mint BOLD, a decentralized stablecoin, by borrowing against ETH or LST collateral. It is a governance-minimized, immutable, and permissionless borrowing protocol.

Uniswap Protocol has now processed $3T in all-time volume on Ethereum mainnet World Computer

We often get asked about grant opportunities, so we decided to round-up a few cool funding programs: @ethereum Security Subsidy Program: A 1 Million USD initiative designed to lower barriers for Ethereum mainnet projects seeking security audits from high-quality, pre-vetted

New on L2BEAT: detailed pages for every interoperability protocol we track. 🌉 Each page breaks down a protocol's activity - volume, flows between chains, top tokens, transfer times, and individual transfers, all in one view. Available now for all 34 protocols we support.

When financial institutions put client assets onchain, supervisors expect a defensible answer to one question: how was the blockchain network evaluated? Networks differ in finality guarantees, governance, and continuity exposure. And those differences shape regulatory risk.

It’s our birthday 🎉 9 years of ENS on Ethereum, naming the internet one .eth at a time. May the 4th be with you ✨

Ethereum core devs just met in the Arctic to shape Glamsterdam and Ethereum’s future ❄️ All the notes are public at Ask your LLM what happened, and dive deep into any breakout discussions!
