The first Blob-Parameter-Only (BPO) fork went live on Ethereum mainnet on Tuesday morning at block 23975796. The lightweight BPO upgrade, introduced by EIP-7892, solely adjusted two parameters: increasing the blob target from 6 to 10 and raising the maximum blob limit from 9 to 15. This expansion of blob capacity is a key adjustment for reducing Layer 2 transaction costs. BPO forks are designed to balance the bandwidth constraints of solo stakers with the growing data availability needs of Layer 2 solutions, enabling more scalable blob transactions. The next BPO fork is scheduled for January 7th, which will further raise the blob target to 14 and the maximum limit to 21.
ADI Chain, an EVM L2 network powered by GPU computing, is now live on mainnet. The launch also includes its native gas token, ADI. ADI Chain is built on ZKsync’s Elastic Network, leveraging Airbender, ZKsync’s RISC-V–based zkVM. Airbender is designed to support future cross-chain and modular interoperability. Backed by leading UAE institutions and regulated by the UAE Central Bank, ADI Chain will host the first Dirham-backed stablecoin developed by First Abu Dhabi Bank and IHC. ADI Chain aims to serve as a compliance-ready platform designed for institutional and real-world asset (RWA) digital infrastructure.
1inch introduced Aqua Protocol, a shared liquidity layer designed to solve capital fragmentation and unlock dormant value in DeFi. The protocol allows a user's assets to power multiple DeFi strategies simultaneously from a single wallet, creating a multiplier effect for liquidity and shifting the focus away from locked liquidity. The protocol is self-custodial, meaning assets remain in the user's wallet, only being pulled and returned in a single, atomic transaction when a trade executes. A developer release, including the SDK and documentation, is now available for experimentation. A full user interface (UI) is scheduled for a public launch in early 2026.
Rainbow announced a public token sale for its $RNBW token on the CoinList platform. The sale is scheduled to go live on December 11, at 5:00 pm UTC, and will be open to both from the US and non-US users. Last week, Rainbow announced a new Class F share class that grants the Rainbow Foundation a 20% equity stake in the company on behalf of all $RNBW token holders. The TGE date is yet to be announced.
