Wonderland, a technical collective focused on building core infrastructure, introduced Interoperable Addresses, a new standard for representing addresses along with their specific chain. The solution aims to make cross-chain interactions safer, clearer, and fully compatible, allowing users to send assets to an ENS domain paired with a target chain identifier. Interoperable Addresses are based on ERC-7930, a compact binary format for smart contracts, and ERC-7828, a human-readable format that optionally supports ENS.

The standard helps prevent mistakes such as sending funds to the correct address on the wrong chain. Wonderland also collaborated with the Ethereum Foundation Protocol Teams to develop an Interop Addresses SDK, allowing apps and wallets to integrate the feature. Wonderland is also building an onchain chain registry using ENS, allowing chain information to be retrieved without relying on offchain servers.

Jordi Baylina, the current contributor to the Zisk high-performance zkVM, published a research post proposing synchronous composability between rollups using real-time proving. Baylina suggests that by combining real-time proving with proxy contracts and execution tables, rollups can achieve atomic, cross-chain composability without requiring any L1 forks. The solution ensures that transactions either fully succeed or fully revert across multiple chains. Synchronous composability allows a smart contract to call a contract on another chain and receive the result within the same transaction. It removes the multi-step delays of current asynchronous cross-chain calls, which often break atomicity and DeFi composability.

TheDAO Security Fund, the latest iteration of TheDAO dedicated to supporting Ethereum security, has deposited 69,420 ETH onto the Beacon Chain. Contributor pcaversaccio carried out the deployment using a wallet funded via TornadoCash. The fund manages approximately $220 million in unclaimed edge-case funds from TheDAO hack, committed to Ethereum security. Pcaversaccio highlighted that all future grant transactions will now carry the TornadoCash association, demonstrating that TornadoCash can be used for legitimate purposes. The deposit will take about 69 days before it's fully staked.

Vitalik Buterin has committed 16,384 ETH, worth $45 million, to support open-source, secure, and verifiable software and hardware focused on privacy, decentralization, and user self-sovereignty. He also plans to use decentralized staking, with staking rewards helping fund these efforts over the long term. Targeted areas include finance, communication, governance, operating systems, secure hardware, privacy, and biotech. He noted that he is personally taking on work that might otherwise have been funded by the Ethereum Foundation, as the Foundation narrows its scope to focus on delivering an ambitious scaling roadmap while keeping Ethereum performant, robust, sustainable, and decentralized, and preserving self-sovereignty, security, and privacy.

Lido V3, a major upgrade that is transforming the protocol from a pooled staking model into a modular, decentralized Ethereum staking infrastructure, is now live on Ethereum mainnet. Lido V3 introduces stVaults, which are non-custodial, customizable smart contracts that allow users to define their own validator setup. stVaults support overcollateralized stETH minting and feature critical safeguards such as immutable collateral caps and an escape hatch to opt out of protocol governance. All stVaults share stETH as a common liquidity layer. Lido is offering a 0% Lido infrastructure fee for qualifying stVault early adopters until March 31, 2026.

Lighter announced Lighter EVM, an EVM-equivalent rollup that natively interoperates with the Lighter L2, enabling general-purpose applications to compose with Lighter's trading markets and liquidity at low latency while preserving security. Lighter EVM adds EVM composability to Lighter's high-performance ZK-based L2 network. Lighter EVM leverages OpenVM, a zkVM by Axiom, to verify EVM execution alongside Lighter's existing custom circuits. Both systems jointly settle on Ethereum with proof aggregation, allowing users to move assets and positions between the Lighter L2 and Lighter EVM in seconds. Lighter EVM aims to support DeFi applications, fast bridges, shared collateral, and native stablecoins, with an initial devnet release planned in the coming weeks.

Ethereum core developer Lightclient introduced EIP-8141, a proposal to add a new Ethereum transaction type, known as Frame transactions. Frame transactions enable accounts to define transaction validation, execution, and gas payment logic directly in EVM code, rather than relying on a fixed ECDSA signature scheme. A Frame transaction is composed of multiple ordered frames, each with a specific role, which together determine who authorizes the transaction, who executes it, and who pays the associated fees. The standard enables native account abstraction at the protocol level. EIP-8141 is proposed as a Headliner for Hegota.

TheDAO, the infamous crowdfunded Ethereum project whose 2016 hack led to Ethereum's historic hard fork into Ethereum and Ethereum Classic, has returned with the launch of the TheDAO Security Fund, activating over 75,000 ETH (~$220M) to fund Ethereum security. The funds come from edge-case funds unclaimed in the last 10 years from TheDAO recovery process. 69,420 ETH, primarily from the ExtraBalance contract, will be staked to generate ongoing yield for security funding, while roughly 4,600 ETH with no clear claimants is immediately available to support the fund.

ETH in the original DAO withdraw contract remains available and redeemable by DAO token holders. TheDAO Security Fund will support Ethereum security efforts, including wallet UX, smart contract security, incident response, standards, and core protocol security. Funding will be allocated in rounds using open mechanisms such as quadratic funding, retroactive funding, and RFP-based ranked-choice voting. The fund will be stewarded by TheDAO Curators, including Griff Green, Vitalik Buterin, and new curators Taylor Monahan, Jordi Baylina, pcaversaccio, Alex Van de Sande, and Pol Lanski.

ERC-8004 is now live on Ethereum. The standard extends the Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol with a native trust layer, enabling discovery and interaction with AI agents across organizational boundaries. ERC-8004's three onchain registries, Identity, Reputation, and Validation, are now deployed on Ethereum Mainnet, with singleton deployments on major L2s planned in the coming weeks. ERC-8004 is designed to support an open, cross-organizational AI agent economy by offering a unified interface and tiered trust models tailored to different risk levels. Alongside the launch, 8004scan launched its infrastructure layer for exploring, validating, and interacting with ERC-8004-registered agents, and Virtuals Protocol has integrated ERC-8004 into production.

Optimism launched OP Enterprise, a production-grade, managed blockchain infrastructure service that enables companies to launch and operate their own OP Stack chains without taking on the operational, security, or scaling burden. The service targets fintechs, exchanges, payments companies, and financial institutions building onchain products. Enterprises can choose between deploying on OP Mainnet with a path to their own chain, a self-managed option with self-run infrastructure and priority support and security from Optimism, or a fully managed service where Optimism operates the chain end-to-end.

Fileverse, an onchain file-sharing platform, launched Offline Mode V2 for its dDocs word processor, allowing users to create new docs, access existing documents, and search document history entirely offline. Offline edits are saved locally and automatically synced once users are back online, made possible because all Fileverse docs are stored both in the local browser and on IPFS.
