Reth 2.0 Mainnet Release

Reth 2.0, delivers 1.7 Ggas/s throughput on large blocks and a major storage reduction to around 240 GB for mainnet nodes.

Paradigm released Reth 2.0, the latest version of its Ethereum execution node written in Rust, delivering 1.7 Ggas/s throughput on large blocks and a major storage reduction to around 240 GB for mainnet nodes. The release introduces an upgraded snapshot system, allowing users to download only the data they need. Architecture improvements in the release include parallel state calculation, with the Sparse Trie Cache enabling in-memory persistence across blocks and eliminating the state root as a bottleneck. The parallel execution is enabled through Ethereum Block Access Lists (BALs). 

Polygon activated the Giugliano upgrade on its PoS network, delivering faster transaction finality, more predictable and transparent fees, and improved overall performance. Confirmation times have dropped to around 5 seconds, down from roughly 7 seconds. Gas fee parameters are now embedded directly in block headers, making it easier to estimate transaction costs. The upgrade also introduces enhancements such as improved block propagation, restored snap sync, and stronger Heimdall failover support. Giugliano is part of a series of recent upgrades pushing Polygon closer to its Gigagas goal, as it continues evolving into a platform optimized for payments.

Coinbase launched the Coinbase Developer Platform (CDP) CLI, a unified command-line tool for accessing payments, trading, wallets, custody, and onchain workflows. The CLI also doubles as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server and agent skill, enabling AI agents to call Coinbase APIs directly without custom code. Built from an OpenAPI spec, the tool automatically incorporates new features, keeping both the CLI and agents up to date. CDP CLI effectively turns Coinbase’s full crypto infrastructure into a single, AI-ready interface. The CLI simplifies development, automation, and agent interactions with onchain systems.

DeFi lending protocol Morpho launched Morpho Agents in beta, an AI-optimized interface designed for onchain lending. The platform enables AI agents to seamlessly integrate with Morpho, with full read, simulation, and write capabilities across Ethereum and Base. It also introduces a Builder Agent, a protocol knowledge base that equips AI coding agents to generate and verify Morpho integrations. The solution is aimed at enterprises, institutions, and developers building lending infrastructure.
