U.S. District Court Judge Katherine Polk Failla dismissed a class-action lawsuit against Uniswap Labs over scam tokens listed on its web interface. The plaintiffs had sought to hold Uniswap liable for losses from listed scam tokens linked to rug pulls by unknown third-party issuers. Judge Failla ruled that platform developers cannot be held responsible for fraud committed by third parties simply because their platform enabled the transactions. The outcome marks a victory for developers of decentralized protocols, affirming that they are not automatically liable for third-party misconduct.

The Aave DAO approved “Aave Will Win,” a framework proposal from Aave Labs aimed at better aligning the Aave ecosystem with the AAVE token and scaling the protocol. The contentious proposal passed its temperature check vote with 52.58% in favor and 42% against. The proposal includes four core components. It will direct 100% of revenue from Aave-branded products to the Aave DAO treasury. In the proposal, Aave Labs is seeking roughly $51 million in funding. Marc Zeller of the Aave Chan Initiative responded to the outcome, arguing that votes from Aave Labs-affiliated addresses influenced the result. Kulechov said the proposal will now be refined with structural improvements before advancing to the ARFC stage of governance.

Lido completed the phased rollout of Lido V3, a significant upgrade that shifts the protocol from a pooled staking model to a modular, decentralized Ethereum staking infrastructure. The Phase 3 release enables permissionless stETH minting for all stVaults and higher per-operator minting limits. stVaults are non-custodial, customizable smart contracts that let stakers configure their own validator setups. The vaults enable overcollateralized stETH minting and include collateral caps and an escape hatch, allowing operators to opt out of protocol governance. All stVaults are unified by stETH as a shared liquidity layer.

Vitalik Buterin outlined Ethereum’s short- and long-term scaling roadmap. In the near term, the Glamsterdam upgrade will increase capacity by enabling parallel block verification, improving ePBS, and updating gas pricing. The upgrade will bring multidimensional gas, which separates state growth costs from execution. Multidimensional gas allows Ethereum to raise throughput while limiting state expansion and supporting larger contracts. In future upgrades, each resource type will have its own floating gas price to improve efficiency. Long term, the focus is on blobs for data scaling and ZK-EVM for execution scaling. ZK-EVM clients are expected by the end of this year, with broader use in 2027. The goal is to significantly scale Ethereum while preserving decentralization, security, and solo staking.

Robinhood Chain, a Layer 2 network built on the Arbitrum tech stack, has surpassed 10 million transactions on testnet. The EVM-compatible testnet went live earlier this month for developers and users to build and test apps ahead of a planned mainnet launch later this year. Robinhood Chain aims to accelerate onchain financial services and tokenized real-world assets (RWAs). The company plans to eventually migrate its 2,000+ tokenized U.S. stocks and equities to the network and is committing $1 million to support developers through the 2026 Arbitrum Open House program. Robinhood token stocks have already processed over $74 million in cumulative trading volume on Arbitrum One.

Colossus introduced its stablecoin-native credit card network that settles transactions noncustodially on its Ethereum L2 built on the OP Stack, featuring 1-second blocks and 100ms Flashblock preconfirmations. The solution works with existing EMV terminals by converting EMV card signatures into onchain stablecoin transfers. When a card is tapped, the EMV chip signs the transaction data using ECDSA P-256. The terminal sends a standard authorization request to the acquirer, and Colossus middleware extracts the EMV data and signature to construct an ERC-4337 UserOperation. The EMVValidator then verifies the signature via the RIP-7212 precompile, and the EMVSettlement module executes the stablecoin transfer automatically. Colossus is still under development.

Startale Group and SBI Holdings introduced JPYSC, a Japanese yen stablecoin backed by a trust bank. Issued by Shinsei Trust & Banking under Japan’s trust framework, JPYSC is designed as a compliant, institutional-grade digital yen aiming to bridge traditional finance and decentralized finance. The stablecoin is targeted for launch in Q2 2026, pending regulatory approvals. Startale Group is leading the technical development and is also behind Soneium and Astar Network.

Vitalik Buterin outlined Ethereum’s quantum resistance roadmap, identifying four components currently vulnerable to quantum attacks: consensus-layer BLS signatures, data availability based on KZG commitments, EOA signatures, and application-layer zero-knowledge proofs. Quantum resistance aims to ensure Ethereum remains cryptographically secure from quantum computers. For the consensus layer, the roadmap proposes replacing BLS signatures with hash-based signature schemes and using STARKs for signature aggregation. In data availability, Ethereum may move away from KZG commitments toward STARK-based constructions. For EOAs, the plan is to migrate to native Account Abstraction. For zero-knowledge proofs, the long-term solution is protocol-level recursive aggregation.

Ethereum Foundation cryptography researchers introduced leanSig, a post-quantum, hash-based multi-signature scheme designed to replace Ethereum’s current BLS-based signature aggregation in the consensus layer. leanSig is built from one-time signatures (OTS) constructed using hash chains. Since each one-time key can only be used once, validators commit to a large set of OTS public keys via a Merkle tree. Each signature consists of a one-time signature plus a Merkle proof, effectively creating a many-time signature scheme suitable for Ethereum’s slot-based consensus. Unlike BLS, hash-based signatures lack algebraic structure and therefore cannot be natively aggregated. To achieve aggregation, leanSig uses a SNARK to prove knowledge of many valid signatures. The resulting SNARK proof serves as the aggregate signature, replacing BLS-style aggregation while remaining quantum resistant.

Alchemy launched Crypto APIs for Agents, allowing AI agents to autonomously authenticate, pay, and access onchain data across chains. Agents authenticate with their wallet via SIWE, then call Alchemy’s agentic gateway. The gateway responds with an HTTP 402 payment request, which the agent fulfills in USDC via x402. Once payment is made, API access continues automatically until the balance is depleted. Agents can use the service access core RPC endpoints, manage DeFi positions, monitor markets, and execute cross-chain workflows. Alchemy also introduced Alchemy Skills, machine-readable documentation for AI agents.

Brevis announced that Pico Prism zkVM now proves 99%+ of Ethereum L1 blocks in under 12 seconds using just 16 RTX 5090 GPUs, a 75% reduction from its previous 64-GPU setup. This optimization cuts GPU costs from $128k to $32k while maintaining real-time performance. Meanwhile, the Ethereum Foundation aims for 128-bit provable security by the end of 2026.
