Peer, a ZK-powered crypto-to-fiat bridge, released the Peer browser extension, enabling developers to embed a fiat-to-crypto onramp directly into their applications using the ZKP2P SDK. Through a simple SDK call, the Peer extension opens a side-panel flow that allows users to purchase crypto without leaving the dapp. Peer supports fiat payments from Venmo, Revolut, Wise, Cash App, and other platforms, enabling users to receive onchain assets like USDC, ETH, SOL, and USDT across 20+ chain. Transactions are gasless, require no redirects or centralized exchanges, and do not require additional verification beyond the connected payment platform.
The Ethereum Institutional Privacy Taskforce redeveloped its private zero-coupon bond prototype on Aztec, reducing the architecture from three separate components into a single ~200-line Noir contract. By leveraging Aztec’s privacy-first L2, the rebuild provides a single contract instead of multiple codebases, an encrypted mempool, authentication witnesses for atomic swaps, composability with other private contracts, and a larger anonymity set. The proof-of-concept aims to showcase confidential, compliant bond trading on Ethereum.
The DAO, the infamous 2016 Ethereum crowdfunding experiment now evolved into the TheDAO Security Fund, has published its first governance proposal in nearly a decade. DAO token holders are asked to vote on three proposals that would authorize the Security Fund to: recover any DAO tokens mistakenly sent to TheDAO contract, and retrieve 49 SAI and 1.8777 DGD from the TheDAO contract. Voting is open for the next three days and will close on Monday, February 17, 2026, at 7 UTC.
