The Ethereum Foundation announced a dedicated effort to strengthen DeFi on Ethereum and support Defipunk values, including permissionless, censorship-resistant, privacy-first, self-custodial, and open source. The EF believes that DeFi should not replicate TradFi, but enable financial systems that could only exist on Ethereum. Beyond DeFi’s current impact in lending, stablecoins, and open markets, the EF aims to support more experimental innovations such as AI-integrated financial systems, onchain futures markets, futarchy DAOs, and privacy-preserving undercollateralized lending using zero-knowledge (ZK) reputation. The EF’s DeFi efforts are led by Charles St. Louis, a former DELV leader and MakerDAO contributor, and Ivan Bogatyy, the co-founder of Gearbox Protocol. In 2026, the team will focus on strengthening builder relationships, improving security and privacy infrastructure, establishing standards, and expanding research.
The Protocol Support team at the Ethereum Foundation launched a new website, ps.ethereum.foundation, creating a resource hub for Ethereum developers and enthusiasts. The site aggregates protocol governance resources, including Forkcast, the Ethereum network upgrade tracker, the Project Management repository, AllCoreDevs (ACD) and breakout call coordination, the Ethereum Protocol Fellowship, and the Ethereum Study Group. Protocol Support facilitates the Ethereum protocol development process by coordinating across client teams, researchers, and the broader community, helping make governance and core development more accessible.
BGD Labs, a core development contributor to Aave, announced it will not renew its service agreement with the Aave DAO after April 1, 2026. The team said the decision stems from organizational misalignment, citing Aave Labs’ shift toward a more central role focused on Aave v4 and disagreements over the strategic direction of v3 versus v4. BGD stated that it considers its primary mission largely accomplished, describing Aave’s core infrastructure as stable, mature, and future-proof. The team plans to transition its work by moving relevant codebases to the Aave DAO GitHub with proper documentation to support the transition. BGD Labs served as one of the main technical contributors to Aave for nearly four years.
Bankr, an AI-powered crypto banker agent, crossed $100 million in volume on its custom Doppler-powered Uniswap v4 hook, tailored specifically for AI-agent token deployment flow. The hook went live earlier this month, and the volume was generated in less than two weeks from the surge of tokens launched through the Bankr bot. Uniswap Labs highlighted the achievement, noting Bankr's rapid traction at the intersection of AI and crypto.
