• Aave liquidates attacker's rsETH.

• Centrifuge launches deSPXA on Base.

• Validators consolidate 10m ETH.

• ArbitrumDAO rsETH recovery vote.

Aave executed a governance-authorized liquidation of rsETH collateral held by the April 18 KelpDAO attacker across Ethereum mainnet and Arbitrum V3, seizing approximately 89,567 rsETH. A temporary oracle adjustment forced the positions into a liquidatable state, collateral was swept to a recovery guardian multisig, and all configuration changes were fully reverted. No other users were affected. The recovered rsETH is being redeemed for ETH to clear the deficit across affected Aave markets, with full restoration of rsETH backing in its final stages. Read more →

Centrifuge launched deSPXA on Base, a tokenized version of the Anemoy S&P 500 fund managed by Janus Henderson and benchmarked by S&P Dow Jones Indices, bringing 24/7 on-chain exposure to the S&P 500 for eligible non-U.S. users. It is the first product under Centrifuge's deRWA framework, designed to make tokenized real-world assets composable with DeFi protocols. Coinbase named Centrifuge a preferred tokenization infrastructure partner. Read more →

Ethereum validators have consolidated over 10 million ETH, more than a quarter of all staked ETH, using 0x02 withdrawal credentials. Just 1.4% of validators, roughly 12,500 out of 897,000, now control this stake. The consolidation is enabled by MaxEB (EIP-7251), introduced in Pectra, which raised the maximum effective validator balance from 32 ETH to 2,048 ETH. Having fewer validator indices directly improves Ethereum's finality times. Read more →

Ethereum validators have consolidated over 10 million ETH using 0x02 withdrawal credentials. Just 1.4% of validators now account for approximately 25% of all staked ETH. The consolidation is possible due to MaxEB, introduced in Pectra, which increased the maximum effective validator balance from 32 ETH to 2,048 ETH.

MaxEB allows major operators to consolidate thousands of validators, significantly reducing operational overhead. Consolidation also reduces redundant validator operations, including excess beacon node instances, P2P messaging, and BLS signature aggregation, improving infrastructure efficiency and streamlining consensus workloads. Fewer active validator indices enable faster attestation aggregation, which improves finality times on Ethereum.

Centrifuge launched deSPXA on Base, its tokenized version of the Anemoy S&P 500 fund (SPXA). SPXA is a fund that tracks the S&P 500 index, managed by Janus Henderson and benchmarked using S&P Dow Jones Indices. The launch brings tokenized exposure to the S&P 500 on Base for non-U.S. users with 24/7 settlement.

deSPXA is the first product under Centrifuge's deRWA framework, a structure for enabling tokenized real-world assets across DeFi protocols. Coinbase also named Centrifuge as a preferred tokenization infrastructure partner with Coinbase Ventures, making a strategic investment in the RWA company.
