Ethereum researchers launched a proof-of-concept for native rollups (EIP-8079), demonstrating a full native rollup on Ethereum using the Ethrex execution client. The demo showcases L2 blocks settling on L1 via the EXECUTE precompile, L1-to-L2 deposits, contract deployment and cross-layer calls, and L2-to-L1 withdrawals. EIP-8079 exposes Ethereum’s state transition function (STF) through a new EXECUTE precompile, enabling “native rollups” that inherit Ethereum’s correctness directly without relying on separate zk-proofs or fraud proofs. The proof-of-concept successfully demonstrates the feasibility of native rollups using the EXECUTE precompile.

Aave suffered a misconfiguration in its CAPO risk oracle, triggering $21 million in wstETH E-Mode liquidations across 34 accounts. An incorrect CAPO oracle update on Aave v3 caused the protocol to use an exchange rate about 3% below the market rate, which pushed several leveraged positions into liquidation. The Correlated Asset Price Oracle (CAPO) is a system designed to safely price correlated assets. It protects lending markets from oracle manipulation attacks. According to Chaos Labs, the incident was caused by smart-contract update constraints that limited the snapshot ratio to 3% increases every three days. The Aave DAO expects to pay out 345 ETH to compensate affected users.

Starknet, a validity rollup powered by STARK proofs, introduced STRK20, a new token standard that brings privacy capabilities to any ERC-20 on the network. It enables tokens to support confidential balances and private transfers through protocol-level privacy. Users can freely switch between private and public states, and when privacy is enabled, balances, transaction history, and recipient details remain hidden. Users can also selectively disclose information to regulators, auditors, or accountants through viewer keys.

Virtuals Protocol, an AI protocol for creating, deploying, tokenizing, and co-owning AI agents on Base, introduced the ERC-8183 Agentic Commerce Standard, a new Ethereum standard designed to create a trustless commerce layer for AI agents. Co-developed with the Ethereum Foundation’s dAI team, the standard enables autonomous agents to buy and sell services from one another onchain. At the core of ERC-8183 is a minimal commerce primitive called a Job. Each job involves three roles: a client, who defines the task and funds it; a provider, who performs the work; and an evaluator, who verifies whether the deliverable meets the agreed terms. Payments are locked in programmable onchain escrow and released or refunded, enabling deterministic settlement. ERC-8183 also works alongside ERC-8004.

The Ethereum Foundation increased the maximum reward in its bug bounty program to $1 million, paid in ETH or DAI. The program rewards security researchers who discover vulnerabilities affecting the Ethereum network in production. It operates on an ongoing basis and features a public leaderboard recognizing contributors. The bounty covers a wide range of Ethereum components, including the network’s core protocol design, consensus layer and execution layer specifications, proof-of-stake mechanics, peer-to-peer networking, fork-choice rules, the Beacon Chain, the deposit contract, client implementations, and smart-contract compiler vulnerabilities.

LI.FI, the DEX and bridge aggregation protocol behind Jumper, introduced an API for Agentic Commerce that enables AI agents to perform cross-chain transactions through a single integration. The toolkit allows agents to swap tokens, bridge assets, and track transactions across 58 chains, aggregating liquidity from 27 bridges and 31 exchanges. By providing a unified routing engine and agent-ready tools, LI.FI addresses market access for AI agents.

BitMine Immersion Technologies Inc. digital asset treasury now holds 4.5 million ETH, representing over 3.7% of the total Ethereum supply. The holdings are valued at over $9 billion. BitMine continues its accumulation strategy, progressing toward its long-term goal of owning 5% of the total ETH supply, roughly 6 million ETH. BitMine is also staking 3 million ETH from its holdings.

OpenSea introduced a command-line interface and AI agent skill that allows developers and AI assistants to interact directly with the OpenSea NFT marketplace. Using the OpenSea CLI, agents can query NFT collections, tokens, listings, and offers, execute NFT trades on the Seaport marketplace, and swap ERC-20 tokens through OpenSea’s DEX aggregator. The tool can operate through the OpenSea API, CLI commands, shell scripts, or an MCP server designed for LLM integrations. It supports multiple output formats, including TOON, a compact format that uses roughly 40% fewer tokens than JSON, helping reduce context usage. The tool works for transactions on Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Polygon. An OpenSea API key is required to access the service.

The Gitcoin team introduced a governance proposal to sunset the long-running Gitcoin Grants program and relaunch it as a single annual initiative, with a first focus on funding the decentralization acceleration (d/acc). Under the proposal, the new program would run targeted monthly campaigns, each focused on a specific subdomain. The funding model would also shift away from community matching pools toward a mix of coalitional funding, co-funding partnerships, yield-based funding through Octant Vaults, and instruments such as convertible notes. If approved, the new structure would launch in May 2026.

Curve Finance accused PancakeSwap of copying its StableSwap smart contract code without authorization, claiming the move violates Curve’s licensing policy. Curve shared a screenshot from PancakeSwap’s codebase showing a forgotten “Todo” note indicating the team still needed to decide which license to apply. Curve’s StableSwap smart contract is not distributed under an open-source license, using a restrictive copyright that prohibits modifications without permission. Earlier this week, PancakeSwap introduced StableSwap functionality on its Pancake Infinity AMM, enabling stablecoin swaps with dynamic fees and reduced slippage. PancakeSwap said it is reaching out to the Curve team.
