OP Labs announced a long-term plan to make the OP Stack and Superchain resilient to future quantum computers. The goal is to ensure that the stack’s cryptography remains secure in a post-quantum world. The roadmap includes the deprecation of all ECDSA-signed externally owned accounts (EOAs) on OP Mainnet and across the Superchain by 2036. Users will migrate by delegating control of their EOAs to post-quantum (PQ) smart contract accounts, with account abstraction via EIP-7702 identified as a viable migration path. The roadmap also includes transitioning OP Stack sequencers and batch submitters from ECDSA to PQ signature schemes. OP Labs is working with the Ethereum Foundation to move Ethereum away from BLS signatures and KZG commitments toward post-quantum alternatives.
Kraken launched DeFi Earn, a new product that allows its Kraken Consumer, Pro, mobile, and Kraken wallet users deposit cash or stablecoins into vaults that earn yield from DeFi lending protocols, including Aave. The funds are placed into Veda-managed vaults on Kraken’s Ink L2 network, offering variable returns of up to 8% APY. Serving as a “DeFi mullet,” Kraken handles all onchain complexity behind the scenes, no seed phrases or manual transactions required. Kraken charges a 25% fee on rewards for the service. DeFi Earn aims to deliver DeFi-level yields with the simplicity of Kraken’s custodial exchange, including support for near instant withdrawals.
Bitwise is becoming a vault curator on the Morpho lending protocol and will launch a suite of non-custodial vault strategies aiming to broaden access to transparent, onchain yield. The first vault targets approximately 6% APY by allocating to overcollateralized lending markets and will be managed by Jonathan Man, Bitwise’s Head of DeFi Strategies. Bitwise expects assets under curation in onchain vaults to double this year. Bitwise is a global asset manager with more than $15 billion in assets under management, including the ETHW ETF.
