Nillion, an alt-L1 blockchain focused on blind compute and private data storage, announced that it will deploy a dedicated L2 on Ethereum as part of its Nillion 2.0 upgrade. The new Ethereum L2 will enable staking, onchain coordination, and seamless access to Nillion’s compute and storage layer. As part of the transition, Nillion will migrate its $NIL token to Ethereum as an ERC-20 and launch a public bridge starting in February 2026. The team cites Ethereum’s growing commitment to privacy, through MPC, FHE, ZKPs, and TEEs, as a major reason for aligning more closely with the Ethereum ecosystem.

Privacy Pools proposed an architecture for integrating its privacy protocol into the European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI), the EU’s permissioned and identity-driven blockchain network. The solution aims to create a privacy-preserving yet EU-compliant framework for institutional digital asset transactions. Under the proposed model, users can withdraw assets only if their deposit belongs to an approved association set curated by authorized Association Set Providers (ASPs). The proposal suggests treating the association set, verifier contract, and proof-generation services as public-good infrastructure governed by EDIC institutions.

The Devconnect Argentina app is now live as a Progressive Web App (PWA). Devconnect attendees can add the app to their phones for venue navigation, ticket access, completing quests, POAPs, and crypto payments with vendors. The app features a non-custodial embedded wallet powered by Para, generated from an email. Attendees can also claim a worldfair.eth ENS subname as their onchain identity. Devconnect takes place next week, November 17-22, at La Rural in Buenos Aires, Argentina

Aave Labs announced that its Ireland-based subsidiary, Push, received MiCAR authorisation from the Central Bank of Ireland. Push will offer a zero-fee on-and-off-ramp for stablecoins across the European Economic Area. The service will allow users to convert between euros and supported stablecoins, including Aave’s native GHO stablecoin, under a compliant framework..

Uniswap launched the Continuous Clearing Auction (CCA) protocol, a permissionless system for running onchain, customizable token auctions on Uniswap v4 with automatic liquidity bootstrapping. The protocol also offers an optional ZK Passport module for private and verifiable user participation. CCA aims to help teams distribute tokens, establish fair market prices for new or low-liquidity tokens, and automatically seed a Uniswap v4 pool at the discovered price. Tokens are sold block by block through continuous clearing. The CCA contract is now live for teams to use, with additional modules planned for future releases.

Aztec Network, a privacy-preserving Layer 2 that enables private smart contract execution, opened registration for its $AZTEC token sale using Uniswap’s Continuous Clearing Auction (CCA) mechanism. Early access is available to whitelisted contributors, including testnet operators and OG Aztec Connect users. The $AZTEC token is the network’s native asset for staking, governance, and sequencer participation. The auction begins at a floor valuation of $350M FDV, with approximately 14.95% of the total supply available for sale. A public sale will follow on December 2, 2025. Tokens will remain locked for at least 90 days and can only be unlocked through governance, with a 12-month backstop unlock if no proposal passes.

Reya partnered with EigenCloud to use EigenDA, a high-throughput data-availability layer, for its trading-specific rollup on Ethereum. Reya is evolving into a ZK based rollup, targeting 1ms execution and up to 200,000 TPS. As a based rollup, Reya will use Ethereum’s validator set for transaction sequencing. EigenDA will handle Reya’s onchain order data load. The order data will be verified using a zk-proover network, ensuring the entire exchange verifiable on L1. Reya also features a multi-sequencer architecture, eliminating single points of failure. Reya joins the latest wave of app-specific rollups on Ethereum, such as Lighter.

Octant launched Octant v2 to mainnet public beta, introducing its yield-donating vaults into production. With Octant v2, users can deposit assets into vaults where the generated yield is automatically directed to support public goods. The initial release features a Dragon Vault, accessible as a Safe App in the Safe wallet dashboard. Vaults enable passive, sustainable funding while allowing users to retain their principal. Historically, Octant has funded public goods using staking yields from ETH staked by the Golem Foundation. With the v2 release, anyone can contribute to public goods initiatives by leveraging yield from their own vault deposits.

• Yahoo Finance partners with Polymarket.

J.P. Morgan launched JPMD, its bank-issued USD deposit token, on Base, now live for institutional clients. The launch advances an earlier bank deposit token pilot program from proof-of-concept (PoC) to full production, enabling 24/7 instant institutional transfers and settlements at near-zero cost. JPMD is a permissioned digital representation of actual USD deposits held at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank. Access requires a U.S. bank account with the firm. Future plans include expansion to other chains, multiple currencies, and broader client access, pending regulatory approvals like the U.S. GENIUS Act.

EigenLayer and LayerZero launched EigenZero, the first implementation of the CryptoEconomic Decentralized Verifier Network (DVN) Framework. The release brings slashable economic stake to interoperability, enabling LayerZero applications to choose verifiers for both technical correctness and economic accountability. LayerZero’s DVN marketplace already allows apps to select verification methods like ZK proofs and light clients. EigenZero adds a new category of economically backed DVNs, backed by $5m in slashable ZRO tokens. Using optimistic verification with an 11-day challenge period, EigenZero slashes verifiers for provable misbehavior.

Aerodrome Finance, the leading DEX on Base, announced a merger with Velodrome, its counterpart on OP Mainnet, to launch a unified Ethereum mainnet DEX called Aero. The merge aims to create a cross-chain, aggregated liquidity platform designed to enhance interoperability and expand Aerodrome beyond Base. As part of the announcement, Aerodrome introduced a suite of upgrades, including MetaDEX03, a new operating system built to improve swaps, liquidity, and developer tooling across chains. Under the token migration plan, Aerodrome holders will receive 94.5% of the new AERO supply, while Velodrome holders will receive 5.5%. The merger was unveiled at the Dromos Conference in New York City, with Aero targeting a Q2 2026 mainnet launch.
