• World Chain launches Priority Blockspace.

• Succinct announces Stage 2.5 onboarding.

• Staked ETH supply reaches an ATH.

World Chain launched Priority Blockspace for Humans (PBH) on mainnet, offering guaranteed transaction inclusion for 13 million verified users. The feature ensures that real humans, verified through World ID’s Proof of Personhood credentials, receive fast and reliable access to onchain services, without needing to pay priority fees. PBH works by reserving a portion of each block exclusively for Orb-verified human transactions, independent of gas bidding. It is implemented via the World Chain Builder, built on the Reth Ethereum client, and leverages Rollup Boost to enable custom transaction ordering. The entire infrastructure is open source and has been independently audited by Nethermind.

Succinct Labs launched Stage 2.5 of the Succinct Prover Network, an update that allows top ZK hardware teams and community members to join a decentralized, high-performance proving cluster on testnet. Succinct has airdropped testnet PROVE tokens and Sepolia ETH to community members to stake on the network’s provers. The Succinct Prover Network is now live on testnet, featuring a cost-based auction mechanism, Sybil-resistant staking, and a high-throughput, verifiable settlement layer. Anyone can spin up a node and join the competition to serve real ZK proof demand. Succinct is now focused on preparing for its mainnet launch.

The amount of ETH staked on Ethereum’s Beacon Chain has reached a new record, now representing over 29% of the total ETH supply. According to data from Beaconcha.in, more than 35 million ETH is currently staked across 1 million validators. An additional 350,000 ETH is queued in the validator entry queue. Staked ETH plays a critical role in securing the Ethereum network by providing economic incentives for validators to propose, verify, and attest to valid blocks. Lido Finance remains the largest staking provider, holding a market share of 25.65% of all staked ETH on the Beacon Chain.
