The Decentralized Infrastructure Network (DIN), led by Infura, launched its Autonomous Verifiable Service (AVS) on EigenLayer, making it the first large-scale decentralized RPC and API marketplace secured by Ethereum restaking. The launch enables permissionless onboarding for node operators, watchers, and restakers, creating an alternative to today’s centralized RPCs. DIN leverages staked ETH and eventually EIGEN token restaking to back node operators with real economic guarantees, introducing slashing and performance verification to ensure reliable, decentralized access to RPCs across 30+ networks. DIN was first unveiled two years ago on November 17, 2023.

The Ethereum Name Service (ENS) announced that it is migrating its Namechain L2 network from the Linea ZK stack to Nethermind’s Surge framework, a based rollup architecture built on the Taiko stack. Surge allows ENS to launch Namechain as a Stage 1 rollup from day one, leveraging Ethereum L1 directly for sequencing. ENS and Nethermind also designed a major improvement to CCIP-Read, the mechanism that lets ENS pull offchain or L2 data into L1 contracts, by combining based preconfirmations with trusted execution environments. The design reduces cross-chain data latency from hours to seconds while maintaining fallback security to be settled with ZK proofs. Namechain is part of ENSv2, a major upgrade introducing a new registry and smart contracts.

UNIfication, a proposal from Uniswap to enable a fee switch and UNI token burn, is now live for a temperature check vote on Snapshot. Voting ends in 5 days on November 22, 2025 at 6:01 PM. If approved, the proposal will move forward to an onchain governance vote. Among other updates, the proposal seeks to transition Foundation employees to Labs and to eliminate the Uniswap front-end fee.
