OpenSea introduced a command-line interface and AI agent skill that allows developers and AI assistants to interact directly with the OpenSea NFT marketplace. Using the OpenSea CLI, agents can query NFT collections, tokens, listings, and offers, execute NFT trades on the Seaport marketplace, and swap ERC-20 tokens through OpenSea’s DEX aggregator. The tool can operate through the OpenSea API, CLI commands, shell scripts, or an MCP server designed for LLM integrations. It supports multiple output formats, including TOON, a compact format that uses roughly 40% fewer tokens than JSON, helping reduce context usage. The tool works for transactions on Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Polygon. An OpenSea API key is required to access the service.
The Gitcoin team introduced a governance proposal to sunset the long-running Gitcoin Grants program and relaunch it as a single annual initiative, with a first focus on funding the decentralization acceleration (d/acc). Under the proposal, the new program would run targeted monthly campaigns, each focused on a specific subdomain. The funding model would also shift away from community matching pools toward a mix of coalitional funding, co-funding partnerships, yield-based funding through Octant Vaults, and instruments such as convertible notes. If approved, the new structure would launch in May 2026.

Curve Finance accused PancakeSwap of copying its StableSwap smart contract code without authorization, claiming the move violates Curve’s licensing policy. Curve shared a screenshot from PancakeSwap’s codebase showing a forgotten “Todo” note indicating the team still needed to decide which license to apply. Curve’s StableSwap smart contract is not distributed under an open-source license, using a restrictive copyright that prohibits modifications without permission. Earlier this week, PancakeSwap introduced StableSwap functionality on its Pancake Infinity AMM, enabling stablecoin swaps with dynamic fees and reduced slippage. PancakeSwap said it is reaching out to the Curve team.
