ConsenSys open-sourced the Linea Stack under Apache-2.0/MIT licensing and handed control to the Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust under a new name, Lineth. Anyone can now use Lineth to deploy a production-grade ZK rollup. Linea Mainnet remains under Consensys control and is targeting Stage 1 decentralization this month, a RISC-V prover transition in Q3, and real-time proving by year-end.
Aave integrated Chainlink Smart Value Recapture (SVR) into V4 Spokes. SVR is a specialized oracle solution that enables DeFi protocols to reclaim non-toxic MEV generated through Chainlink Price Feeds, redirecting liquidation-related value that was previously extracted by block builders. SVR leverages Chainlink Price Feeds and Flashbots' MEV-Share to redirect value back to DeFi protocols. SVR on Aave V3 has already generated $11 million for the Aave DAO treasury since March 2025.
Vitalik Buterin deposited 50.25 ETH, worth roughly $113,000, into Privacy Pools, an onchain privacy protocol that uses zero-knowledge proofs to break the link between deposit and withdrawal addresses. Buterin co-authored the research paper underpinning Privacy Pools and was among the protocol's first users when it launched in April 2025. The mainnet ETH pool now holds over 800 ETH.
Fileverse added support for raw markdown in dDocs, its onchain word processor. A new /plaintext command enables raw markdown and clean copy-pasting. The update also adds find-and-replace across entire documents and a full dDocs count, as well as mermaid.js for inline diagram generation. Fileverse allows collaborators to join documents anonymously via a link with no login required.

Blocknative is joining Deloitte to focus on enterprise blockchain and agentic workflows, ending nearly a decade of work on mempool visibility, MEV auctions, and gas estimation. Its API services and Gas Network will shut down on June 19, 2026, and teams running Blocknative in production are urged to begin migrating.
L2BEAT confirmed that Lighter's emergency withdrawal mechanism works after independently regenerating and verifying all of the rollup's ZK circuits. The verification covers Lighter's Desert mode, a failsafe that lets users prove their L2 account state and exit directly to Ethereum mainnet if the sequencer goes offline or misbehaves.
Aave Pro now supports read-only wallet monitoring on any Ethereum address. Users can paste any wallet to view its Aave V4 positions, balances, and activity without connecting, and assign custom names and avatars per address.

Aave has fully restored the loan-to-value ratios across all V3 WETH market deployments affected by the rsETH exploit, including Ethereum Core, Ethereum Prime, Arbitrum, Base, Mantle, and Linea. Parameters are now set to their pre-incident values. KelpDAO is also consolidating its rsETH bridging support, dropping support for 20 chains effective June 15. The restorations bring a soft close to the DeFi United recovery initiative.
Aave upgraded its savings GHO product to a new ERC-4626-compliant vault. Yield now accrues directly in the share-to-asset conversion rate with no weekly Merkl claims, no lockup, and no rehypothecation. The upgrade also introduces GhoRouter, a stateless routing contract that enables USDC-to-sGHO conversions in a single transaction. Legacy stkGHO holders must migrate manually to continue earning rewards.
ETHGlobal announced the Continuity Track, a new hackathon format that lets builders hack with existing code. Teams can extend an open-source repo they already maintain or ship a new feature to a private product, releasing whatever they build over the weekend as open source. The 36-hour clock and team size of up to five remain unchanged. The track debuts at ETHGlobal New York from June 12-14.
Ethereum developer Carl Beek announced that May 29 will be his last day at the Ethereum Foundation. Beek joined the EF at 23 and contributed to the KZG ceremony and early Beacon Chain architecture. He co-authored EIP-7935 to raise the mainnet gas limit and authored Quick Slots EIP-8198 for reducing slot duration. Ethereum researcher Julian Ma also announced his departure.
