EF ESP To Pay Grants In ETH
---------------------------

The Ethereum Foundation's [Ecosystem Support Program](https://ethdaily.io/esp-allocation-update-q1-2026) will now pay all newly approved grants in ETH by default, replacing fiat as the standard payment method. The change applies to new applications submitted on or after June 10, and existing grants are not affected. To date, ESP has awarded over $172 million to more than 1,700 projects, including [$9.85 million allocated in Q1 2026](https://ethdaily.io/936) across protocol development, zero-knowledge proofs, and core infrastructure.

Aragon Launches Onchain Profiles
--------------------------------

Aragon launched onchain profiles, a feature that makes governance participants readable across forums by resolving [ENS](https://ethdaily.io/611) records, including names, avatars, bios, websites, and social links, directly from Ethereum mainnet. The Aragon app now reads and manages these records onchain rather than maintaining a separate offchain database, making profiles portable across governance interfaces. Participants can also publish token-specific delegate statements stored as ENS text records using an open, ENS-based record format.

Wonderland Launches Cross-Chain Module
--------------------------------------

[Wonderland](https://ethdaily.io/wonderland-and-seal-introduce-darc) launched the cross-chain module of the [interop-sdk](https://ethdaily.io/interop-sdk-cross-chain-package), an open-source toolkit that lets wallets and apps integrate cross-chain value movement through a single interface. Built as a client for the Open Intents Framework and [ERC-7683](https://ethdaily.io/erc-8211-and-erc-7683-for-cross-chain-execution), the module aggregates multiple intent protocols, including Across, Relay, Bungee, and LiFi Intents, letting developers compare quotes, execute via gasless signatures or onchain transactions, and track orders end to end. The launch is an experimental preview release and has not been audited.
