The latest release ensures that block building on mainnet is operational and resolves previously affected peer discovery and configuration settings. The release also tackles a previously overlooked issue in the consensus engine. The update follows closely on the heels of an emergency patch released two weeks ago, which addressed a critical vulnerability in v1.14.0. Geth is the oldest and most popular Ethereum execution layer client used by approximately 42% of Ethereum validators.Blockscout OP Interop ExplorerBlockscout introduced the OP Interop Explorer, a new block explorer designed for indexing and monitoring cross-chain transactions and message transfers across Optimism’s Superchain. The interop explorer provides a consolidated view of the source and destination transactions, sender, and target address. It features details about relays, message status, facilitates automatic verification and supports cross-chain message searches. The explorer allows applications to access state data with minimal latency and removes the need for users to switch between different block explorers to track a cross-chain transfer. The OP Interop Explorer is currently in an alpha release.Aztec Cross-Chain Bridge GrantsAztec Network is seeking request for proposals for the development of cross-chain bridge applications that extend Aztec’s privacy and decentralization features across Layer 2 networks. Applicants must present a cross-chain bridge application, elaborating on its design, technical challenges, and how it upholds privacy and interoperability standards. Proposals are due by March 16, 2025, with grant recipients announced by April 1, 2025. Aztec Network is a privacy-centric Layer 2 platform, currently live on devnet. The network facilitates private, client-side smart contract execution while ensuring public verifiability.Other News2025 Academic Grants RoundStablecoin TVL hits $123bAltLayer releases Autonome whitepaperETHDublin speaker applicationEIP-7732 finalizing on devnet500 ETH sent to burn addressAbstract achieves 1m Global WalletsBulloak contract testing toolLinea sybil appeals updateOrigin introduces Pool BoosterJavier Milei charged with fraudFollow us on X, Lens, and Farcaster.
