• Clave releases Clave V2.

The Ethereum Foundation’s Improve UX track team released an update on its efforts to create a unified user experience across Ethereum’s L2 ecosystem, with a strong focus on interoperability through intent-based architecture and trustless cross-chain messaging. Key initiatives include the Open Intents Framework (OIF), a modular infrastructure for cross-chain intents, with a production-ready release, audits, and a full solver system expected by Q4 2025. The Ethereum Interoperability Layer (EIL), designed to provide trustless cross-L2 execution, will have its design released in October 2025.  Looking ahead, the team’s long-term vision is to integrate SNARKs more deeply into Ethereum’s infrastructure. The team also highlighted Kohaku, a privacy-first wallet project. Together, the efforts aim to make Ethereum’s multi-chain ecosystem feel seamless and secure.

The Ethereum Foundation’s Ecosystem Support Program (ESP), which funds and supports Ethereum builders, has paused open grant applications to refine its priorities. ESP plans to shift to a more strategic, proactive funding model and coordinate closely with other EF teams. The team will continue hosting Office Hours to provide teams with guidance and non-financial support. According to data from butter.markets, the EF ESP has allocated over $144 million since 2020. In 2024 alone, the ESP distributed $3 million to 105 projects. The ESP team will announce an updated grants strategy by Q4 2025.

EigenLayer disclosed and patched a vulnerability in its EigenPods smart contract, reported via its Immunefi bug bounty program. The bug could have allowed a malicious actor to mint more beacon chain shares than they actually owned, potentially leading to inflated rewards and miscalculated slashable stake values. The issue was fixed, with no evidence of exploitation. Service remains uninterrupted, and no action is required for EigenLayer users.

Clave released Clave v2, the latest version of its mobile smart wallet, featuring seedless onboarding via passkeys and unified token balances across chains. The update is live now with initial support for Arbitrum and Base. It integrates with Privy for email-based account recovery. Clave v1 users must migrate their wallets to access the new features. Clave features integrations with Relay and Across for bridging and Morpho for DeFi lending.
