ENSv2 sticks to Ethereum L1.
Trillion-Dollar Security Dashboard.
Vitalik donates to Shielded Labs.

Arkiv is an Ethereum-aligned data layer for Web3. Arkiv brings the familiar concept of a traditional Web2 database into the Web3 ecosystem. Find out more at Arkiv.network
ENS Labs announced that it will deploy ENSv2 exclusively on Ethereum L1 and discontinue development of its planned L2, Namechain. ENSv2 is a major upgrade to the ENS protocol, introducing a new registry architecture, updated smart contracts, and user-experience improvements such as stablecoin payments. The decision follows rapid improvements in Ethereum L1 scalability, including a roughly 99% reduction in ENS registration gas costs over the past year, driven by higher gas limits. ENS stated that operating on Ethereum L1 is now significantly cheaper and simpler than running a dedicated L2, while also keeping Ethereum guarantees.

Ethereum core developer Josh Stark shared updates from the Ethereum Foundation’s Trillion Dollar Security (1TS) Initiative, a broad effort to strengthen Ethereum’s security to support trillions in value. The foundation launched trilliondollarsecurity.org, a public dashboard that highlights what makes Ethereum secure. The dashboard identifies gaps and tracks ongoing ecosystem work across UX, smart contract security, infrastructure, consensus, incident response, and governance. The initiative has funded Walletbeat to develop an ecosystem-wide wallet security baseline. The team is also advancing clear signing standards and researching transaction assertions to improve user safety.
Vitalik Buterin donated an undisclosed amount to Shielded Labs to support Crosslink, a security-focused upgrade to Zcash’s Proof-of-Work consensus. Crosslink adds a parallel finality layer that prevents chain reorganizations and rollback attacks, reducing double-spend risk. The funds will be used for security audits, infrastructure coordination, and development efforts to advance Crosslink to an incentivized testnet and to production.
