LI.FI Intents Built On Open Intents Framework
LIFI Intents is a full-stack intent execution engine that runs directly on the Open Intents Framework's reference contracts.
LIFI launched LIFI Intents, a full-stack intent execution engine built directly on the Open Intents Framework (OIF), the EF-led initiative for standardizing cross-chain intents. LIFI Intents runs on the OIF reference contracts. Intents are signed constraints that let users outsource execution to a competitive solver network.
LI.FI's users can access fast, frictionless cross-chain transfers powered by OIF-compatible solvers. LI.FI Intents brings better UX to stablecoin payments, RWA front-ends, regulated fintech products, and wallets. The OIF, launched by the Ethereum Foundation in February 2025 with 30+ contributing teams, provides modular components for building intent-based applications, composable smart contracts, an open-source solver, and standard interfaces.

Vitalik Buterin shared his view on what's next for the Ethereum Foundation, citing an expanding board, fewer ETH sales, and three CROPS-aligned goals. Vitalik outlined the foundation's next priorities aligned with the CROPS framework: building a provably bug-free Ethereum via AI-assisted formal verification; available chain consensus; and minimizing intermediaries via FOCIL, EIP-8141, and Kohaku.
Kassandra, a researcher at the Ethereum Foundation, shared what the Kohaku team is shipping. Kohaku is an open-source initiative for enabling secure and private wallets on Ethereum. The immediate priority is embedding shielded pool protocols, such as Tornado Cash, Railgun, and Privacy Pools, directly into wallets via a the Kohaku SDK. Kassandra added that a bigger unlock will be routing all private transactions through the ERC-4337 mempool using EIP-7702.
KelpDAO deployed the final tranche of rsETH into the LayerZero lockbox, with Aave founder Stani Kulechov confirming the recovery is complete. The restoration closes out the DeFi United effort that began after the April 18 LayerZero bridge exploit. Major DeFi protocols contributed liquidity to bring rsETH back to full backing. With the lockbox fully replenished, rsETH is operating at parity again across supported markets.
Ethereum's "Scheduled for Inclusion" (SFI) status has been updated with a tighter definition. An EIP now reaches SFI if it's running in a devnet and stable, the spec is near-final, its interactions with other features are known, and it's thoroughly tested. SFI is the last gate before a feature is locked into a hard fork, giving builders firmer ground to plan for upcoming protocol features.

Scheduled For Inclusion Definition Update
The "Scheduled for Inclusion" (SFI) status in Ethereum's upgrade process has been tightened to bring more clarity for developers.
The "Scheduled for Inclusion" (SFI) status in Ethereum's upgrade process has been updated with a tighter definition to bring more clarity for developers building on upcoming network features. Under the updated definition, an EIP only reaches SFI if it meets four criteria: it's running in a devnet and stable, the spec is near-final, its interactions with other features are known, and it's thoroughly tested.
The full EIP pipeline runs from No status → Proposed (PFI) → Considered (CFI) → Scheduled (SFI) → Included. SFI is the last gate before a feature is locked into a hard fork. SFI status allows builders to start planning for new protocol features with reasonable confidence.
