The EF introduced the Ethereum Interop Layer (EIL), a proposal to make Ethereum’s L2 ecosystem feel like a single unified chain, without adding new trust assumptions. While rollups have increased scalability, they’ve also created fragmentation across multiple chains, asset versions, bridges, and UX complexity. EIL aims to allow users to sign once for cross-chain actions, with wallets automatically handling routing, asset location, gas, and settlement across L2s. EIL is built ERC-4337 account abstraction and the principles of the trustless manifesto. The proposal compares EIL to HTTP’s role in the early Internet: a unifying layer that makes many independent systems feel like one seamless experience.
Revolut, a Europe-based neobank, integrated Polygon PoS to power low-cost stablecoin payments, crypto trading, and POL staking within its fintech app. Over 14 million crypto users across 38 countries can now move money across borders with low fees and near-instant settlement through Polygon’s rails. Revolut users can send and receive USDC and USDT on Polygon PoS, pay with stablecoins using the Revolut crypto card, trade and stake POL, and off-ramp directly to fiat. Polygon boasts over $3.5 billion in stablecoin supply and recently underwent its Rio upgrade, boosting throughput to 5,000 TPS.
Succinct announced that its SP1 Hypercube zkVM can now prove 99.7% of Ethereum L1 blocks in under 12 seconds, and 95.4% in under 10 seconds, using only 16 NVIDIA RTX 5090 GPUs. The milestone comes after six months of deep optimizations across the prover, executor, and cluster orchestration. SP1 Hypercube also brings formal verification of all RISC-V constraints. Ethereum’s endgame is to introduce zkEVM proofs at L1, allowing validators to verify succinct proofs instead of re-executing blocks. ZK-fying the L1 enables horizontal scaling to 1 gigagas/second and near-instant rollup interoperability. SP1 Hypercube will be open source and available on the Succinct Prover Network.
MegaETH announced Frontier, its mainnet beta, launching in early December 2025 and running for one month. Designed for early adopters, Frontier will showcase MegaETH’s real-time, performance-focused blockchain that leverages Ethereum security with support for forced inclusion from day one. No incentives will be live during the initial beta phase.

Aave, the largest DeFi protocol, introduced the Aave App, a high-yield mobile savings app offering up to 6% APY, with additional promotional yield boosts that can raise earnings up to 9% APY. The app also provides balance protection on up to $1 million per account. Users can deposit from banks, debit cards, or stablecoins. With Aave, users earn yield in real-time with second-by-second compounding interest, and they can withdraw their funds at any time without penalties or delays. The app also includes features like Auto Saver for automated recurring deposits, savings simulations, and progress tracking. The Aave App is now available on iOS, with a waitlist open for deposit access.
The Decentralized Infrastructure Network (DIN), led by Infura, launched its Autonomous Verifiable Service (AVS) on EigenLayer, making it the first large-scale decentralized RPC and API marketplace secured by Ethereum restaking. The launch enables permissionless onboarding for node operators, watchers, and restakers, creating an alternative to today’s centralized RPCs. DIN leverages staked ETH and eventually EIGEN token restaking to back node operators with real economic guarantees, introducing slashing and performance verification to ensure reliable, decentralized access to RPCs across 30+ networks. DIN was first unveiled two years ago on November 17, 2023.
The Ethereum Name Service (ENS) announced that it is migrating its Namechain L2 network from the Linea ZK stack to Nethermind’s Surge framework, a based rollup architecture built on the Taiko stack. Surge allows ENS to launch Namechain as a Stage 1 rollup from day one, leveraging Ethereum L1 directly for sequencing. ENS and Nethermind also designed a major improvement to CCIP-Read, the mechanism that lets ENS pull offchain or L2 data into L1 contracts, by combining based preconfirmations with trusted execution environments. The design reduces cross-chain data latency from hours to seconds while maintaining fallback security to be settled with ZK proofs. Namechain is part of ENSv2, a major upgrade introducing a new registry and smart contracts.
UNIfication, a proposal from Uniswap to enable a fee switch and UNI token burn, is now live for a temperature check vote on Snapshot. Voting ends in 5 days on November 22, 2025 at 6:01 PM. If approved, the proposal will move forward to an onchain governance vote. Among other updates, the proposal seeks to transition Foundation employees to Labs and to eliminate the Uniswap front-end fee.

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..
