Relay introduced a low-cost and instant liquidity solution for cross-chain bridging. The protocol uses an escrow mechanism, where a network of relayers front the capital needed to execute onchain tasks for users on the target chain. Relayers then claim their payment on a dedicated Layer 2 settlement chain. The protocol is now open for all users with an initial bridging limit of 0.5 ETH. The protocol optimizes gas savings by allowing users to perform direct token transfers to a relayer. The combination of direct transfers, a L2 settlement chain, and an optimistic settlement approach results in ultra-fast bridging for users. Relay is developed by NFT trading infrastructure provider Reservoir. It has already been integrated by Zora for its "mint with anychain" feature.
PartyDAO introduced Party Rooms, a new feature similar to Friend Tech, designed to enable the creation of gated chatrooms on Base. Party Rooms feature a bonding curve mechanism where the cost of membership escalates as more memberships are sold. Unlike Friend Tech, each room has its own collective wallet that captures 10% of membership transaction volume. The feature is integrated with the Party Protocol, allowing users to crowdfund assets to make collective proposals for token swaps, buying and selling NFTs, or creating NFTs. Chatroom creators earn 2.5% from each membership buy and sell transaction. Owning a membership grants voting rights within the chatroom.
Polygon released its Type-1 ZK-EVM prover, enabling any EVM blockchain to upgrade to ZK-EVM and integrate with Polygon's Aggregation Layer. The prover can generate proofs for any EVM chain at a cost of less than a cent. By linking with Polygon's Aggregation Layer, EVM chains can tap into a shared state and liquidity network. The Type-1 ZK-EVM prover is open-source and available for anyone to integrate. A Type-1 ZK-EVM prover is fully Ethereum-equivalent, enabling EVM chains to upgrade to ZK without changing their current architecture. Both Type 1 and Type 2 ZK-EVM provers will be incorporated as configurable options in Polygon's CDK.
The restaking period for LST deposits on EigenLayer is now closed. Th restaking platform now holds close to 1 million stETH, 209,000 swETH, and 192,000 mETH, among other LSTs. Currently, EigenLayer's TVL stands at $6 billion. Native restaking remains uncapped, including through LRT protocols such as EtherFi, Renzo, and Claystack. EtherFi's TVL also surpassed the $1 billion mark. EigenLayer palns to eliminate its LST limit and pause in the coming months.

In today’s all core devs call, core developers agreed to schedule the Dencun upgrade on Ethereum mainnet at beacon epoch 269568, which is set to occur on Wednesday, March 13, 2024, at 13:55:35 UTC. Over the next two weeks, client teams will release new client versions that support the Dencun upgrade. Dencun is recognized for introducing a new type of transaction known as blob transactions, established through EIP-4844. Also referred to as Proto Danksharding. EIP-4844 represents the first phase towards achieving full data sharding on Ethereum. It lowers data availability costs for rollups, thereby decreasing both transaction fees and disk space requirements.
Stablecoin protocol Frax Finance unveiled Fraxtal, its native modular layer-2 blockchain built on the OP Stack. Frax Finance also announced plans for a new $FXTL points airdrop. Fraxtal introduces blockspace incentives called as Flox. Users and developers can earn FXTL points on a per-block basis based on gas spend. Frax plans to integrate fractal scaling into its rollup. Fraxtal is also part of Optimism’s Superchain, committing to shared upgrades and public goods funding. Initial infrastructure being deployed on Fraxtal include Fraxscan, Safe, Chainlink, Axelar, and LayerZero. Frax Ether (frxETH) will serve as the native gas token on Fraxtal.
Privy introduced the Expo SDK, a react-native client library for integrating secure authentication and embedded wallets into mobile apps. Developers can use the SDK to implement web2 sign-in options, like email, SMS, or social logins, into their mobile applications. The SDK also supports signing, transaction execution, and recovery. The Expo SDK supports cross-client state sync, allowing users to seamlessly access their accounts on both web and mobile. Privy is an authentication development tool provider for integrating account abstraction features. The Expo SDK is now available in a production-ready release.
Taiko committed 1% of its future token supply to Protocol Guild. The commitment comes in honor of the Protocol Guild Pledge, which advocates for new projects to donate 1% of their token supply to the collective of core Ethereum developers. Taiko is an EVM-equivalent ZK-Rollup that is currently live on testnet. P2P lending protocol PWN DAO also committed 1% of its token supply to Protocol Guild.

The Dencun upgrade has been successfully activated on the Holešky testnet, representing the final testnet to undergo the upgrade before it's rolled out on mainnet. The upgrade was initiated at epoch 29696 and finalized within minutes, introducing blobs to the testnet. The upgrade was seamless, aside from a minor drop in node participation. Dencun consists of the Cancun upgrade on the execution layer and the Deneb upgrade on the consensus layer. The upgrade activates blob transactions, transient storage, and a new BLOBBASEFEE opcode, among other updates. Core developers will select a date for the mainnet activation during tomorrow’s core devs call.
The Ethereum Foundation launched the Ethereum Protocol Fellowship Study Group (EFPsg), a ten-week program intended to serve as a prerequisite to the Ethereum Protocol Fellowship (EFP). The program seeks to enhance developer onboarding by offering a curriculum on Ethereum's architecture and developmental roadmap. The Ethereum Protocol Fellowship is an annual mentorship program designed to help developers find their role within the realm of core protocol development. Participants in the program gain access to mentors from the core development community and may also qualify for a stipend. The study group will run from February 19th to April 29th.
Rollup Improvement Proposal (RIP) 7212, a rollup standard that introduces a method for secure and economical signature verifications using the secp256r1 elliptic curve, is now live on Polygon's Mumbai testnet. Designed to enhance account abstraction, RIP-7212 significantly reduces the cost of signature verification through widely utilized tools such as WebAuthn. The proposal stands out as the first rollup improvement proposal to be implemented. Rollup Improvement Proposals are proposals are designed for Layer 2s and are cross-rollup compatible. RIP-7212 is also set to launch on zkSync, Optimism, and Kakarot ZKEVM.
EigenLayer has risen to become the fourth-largest protocol on Ethereum in terms of TVL, holding over $4.5 billion in TVL from LST deposits and natively restaked ETH through EigenPods. The increase in coincides with the protocol's recent unpause of LST deposits. The amount of total staked ETH has hit a new all-time high of 30 million ETH, which is 25% of Ethereum’s 120 million ETH supply. The number of Ethereum validators is also approaching 1 million.
