A security vulnerability in the Trust Wallet browser extension version 2.68, released on December 24, 2025, resulted in over $6 million in drained funds across hundreds of wallets. The exploit is suspected to be a supply-chain compromise introduced in the recent update, although Trust Wallet has not confirmed the root cause. Trust Wallet is urging users of its browser extension v2.68 to immediately disable it and upgrade to v2.69 via the official Chrome Web Store. The issue is linked to seed phrase imports triggering the exfiltration of sensitive data, leading to immediate wallet drains on all chains. Mobile-only app users remain unaffected.
The Aave token alignment phase 1 proposal failed to gain approval from $AAVE token holders. Introduced by BGD Labs co-founder Ernesto Boado, the proposal sought to transfer control of the protocol’s offchain brand assets, including the aave.com domain, from Aave Labs. The proposal aimed to strengthen long-term alignment between the $AAVE token, protocol, and Aave Labs by addressing community concerns over value leakage, such as frontend revenue streams and swap fee diversions from the protocol to Aave Labs. The vote concluded with 55.29% of votes against the proposal.
Uniswap governance passed the UNIfication proposal with 98.82% approval, introducing the long-awaited Uniswap protocol fee switch and a UNI token burn mechanism. Following a two-day time lock, the proposal is set to execute onchain on December 27th, activating an immediate 100 million UNI token burn, worth $580 million. The activation enables protocol fees for Uniswap v2 and v3, disables the current Uniswap interface fee, and allocates 40 million UNI tokens toward a 2-year growth budget. Uniswap Foundation staff will also now work under Uniswap Labs.
Ethereum fellow Yash Saraswat and Abhimanyu Nag published a paper on Speedy Secure Finality (SSF), a framework to solve the 15-minute finality delay in the current Gasper protocol on Ethereum. The paper traces the evolution of protocols like Goldfish and RLMD-GHOST. The paper proposes 3-Slot Finality (3SF) as the most pragmatic solution to balance fast economic settlement with the constraints of Ethereum’s large validator set.
