Inspired by the Protocol Guild, DTG seeks to accelerate Ethereum application development by supporting the teams and individuals who maintain infrastructure. The initiative focuses on sustainably funding critical tools, bridging the gap between protocol development and application-layer developers, and improving coordination, visibility, and accountability across projects. Initial member projects include Solidity, Vyper, ethers.js, viem, alloy, Nethereum, Web3j, [web3.py](http://web3.py), Foundry, Scaffold-ETH, Ape, and Sourcify. Community members can support the guild by donating to donate.devtoolsguild.eth. L2Beat Implements Classification Framework ------------------------------------------ L2Beat [implemented](https://x.com/l2beat/status/1935615549809054043) its new classification framework for rollups and DA layers. The revised model enforces stricter standards: projects must now have a fully functioning proof system, a data availability (DA) bridge to Ethereum or a robust DAC for rollups with alt-DA systems, and a verifiable architecture in order to be listed as an L2. Of 130+ projects reviewed, only 26 met the new criteria and retain their Ethereum L2 status. OP Stack rollups lacking proofs and Orbit chains with limited whitelists have been excluded from the dashboard. Some chains, including Scroll, were bumped down from stage 1 to stage 0 rollup status under the new criteria. Four EIPs Added To Fusaka ------------------------- Ethereum core developers [agreed](https://x.com/terencechain/status/1935734501990359178) to add four more Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) to the schedule for inclusion list for Fusaka, Ethereum’s next upgrade slated for later this year. Among them, EIP-7907 proposes the introduction of gas metering for contract code loading and significantly raises the maximum contract code size from 24KB to 256KB. EIP-7934 sets a protocol-level cap on RLP-encoded execution block sizes, limiting them to 10 megabytes plus a 512-kilobyte buffer. EIP-7951 introduces a new precompile to support ECDSA signature verification using the secp256r1 curve. And EIP-7939 adds a new opcode, CLZ(x), which calculates the number of leading zero bits in a 256-bit word. Coinbase Launches Coinbase Payments ----------------------------------- Coinbase [launched](https://www.coinbase.com/blog/powering-the-future-of-ecommerce-introducing-coinbase-payments) Coinbase Payments, a modular tech stack for stablecoin payments built on Base. Designed for commerce platforms, payment service providers (PSPs), marketplaces, and ecommerce infrastructure providers, it enables providers to integrate USDC payments into existing systems without requiring blockchain expertise. The stack consists of three main components: Stablecoin Checkout, which offers a wallet-native experience; Ecommerce Engine, a set of API tools that help platforms manage payments, refunds, and subscriptions; and the Commerce Payments Protocol, a suite of open-source smart contracts for onchain execution.
