Introducing Flock: a new SNARK for proving batches of standard hash functions at just 250× the cost of computing them natively. Developed by @benediktbuenz from @EspressoSys, @ronrothblum, and NYU's William Wang, Flock puts Ethereum's Post Quantum target in reach.

Announcing Ethlabs: a non-profit R&D lab for Ethereum and ETH Our mission is to make Ethereum the settlement layer of the global economy. The internet became global because shared protocols created a common language between networks. Private systems remained useful, but bounded. Finance is approaching a similar moment. As value, assets, and markets become digital, the world needs shared settlement infrastructure. Ethereum is uniquely positioned to become that shared base layer, the neutral foundation on which users, institutions, and agents can transact without intermediation. What we believe: • We believe credible neutrality matters. Ten years of uptime and the lowest counterparty risk. Ground that cannot be pulled away by any one country, institution, company, or person. • We believe ETH matters. The most valuable, programmable store of value. A decade of broad distribution, deep liquidity in onchain markets, and maximally trustless asset on Ethereum. • We believe DeFi matters. Markets, liquidity, credit, exchange, and coordination, open to anyone. • We believe adoption matters. Principles do not change the world until people benefit from them. We sit between two worlds: real usage from the builders at the frontier, and the protocol that has to support it. We work with users, applications, wallets, L2s, infrastructure teams, institutions, ETH holders, core devs and researchers, then turn what they actually need into protocol work, shared standards, infrastructure, and shipped products. Ethlabs is independent but Ethereum is a shared project. We are one node in a much larger network of stewards. This is the multi-node future. We have spent the better part of the past decade contributing to Ethereum core research and development. We are opinionated and transparent. We move with urgency, learn in public, and course-correct when we’re wrong. We are building a lean, talent-dense team for people who want to do the most important work of their careers: [email protected]

@Viraz04 What is the most important case do you think that privacy is needed for agentic wallets?

@base So how it works @jessepollak

We put everything about Privacy Boost into one explainer that breaks it down clearly. Check out the full explainer below and you'll understand exactly how it works ↓

🔥 WHIR has landed in Plonky3 🔥 We just released v0.6.0, and with it we open the door to the world of multilinear PCS! 🚀 We've also shipped a ton of cool new features and performance improvements. 👀 Spoiler alert: Circle STARK is now *really* fast. github.com/Plonky3/Plonky3

And just like that, ERC-4337 is final 🎉 eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-4337

But state diff rollups has raw tx data in the nodes, no? The exploit case only makes sense if the sequencer is not publishing blocks to nodes - malicious operator case. Wouldn't it be the same in Tempo Zone? If the Zone operator is malicious, can you debug the exploit inside?

This is generally one of the problems with zk. Exploits become impossible to detect. This is one of the reasons I was always skeptical of zk rollups which only publish state changes. A defi hack on such a chain would be insanely hard to debug, because the only thing that's

Five exchanges. One OP Stack. Coinbase, Kraken, OKX, Upbit, Bitpanda. Different products, different markets. Same chain stack. $495M in application revenue across these chains in H2 2025.

Token Frameworks are now live on L2BEAT! A dedicated place to explore this specific category of interoperability solutions. You can see which frameworks are dominating the space (spoiler: OFTs) which are moving the most volume, how fast, across which chains, and for which tokens. Here's what these frameworks are, why they matter for risk, and what the data is telling us 👇

How Privacy Boost helps OP Enterprise serve institutional clients ↓ OP Enterprise gives fintechs, exchanges, and financial institutions managed OP Stack infrastructure. Privacy wasn't part of the OP Stack's original design, and for institutional use cases that's a gap worth closing. @sunnyside_io , as Optimism core developers, built Privacy Boost to close it. OP Enterprise clients get priority integration support. What enterprises get: • Traditional-finance-grade privacy: Sender, receiver, and amount shielded on-chain — just like traditional payment rails. • Compliant by design: Transactions hidden from the public, fully auditable for AML and other compliance requirements. • Drop-in SDK: No migration to a new chain. Existing finance apps can add onchain features without a rebuild. • Finance-app performance: Fast enough that your existing users get the same experience as the services they already use. • Self-custody: Users hold their assets directly — no platform or operator risk. Try it on @Optimism Mainnet and @soneium .

@bajpaiharsh244 Applications are able to permissionlessly capture MEV? Typically global ordering rules are enforced in MCP, so that apps can use MEV-capturing protocols (e.g. MEV tax on priority fee ordering)

For the first time, all ZK circuits used by Lighter perp DEX L2 were regenerated from sources by L2BEAT! Now you don’t have to trust the Lighter team to perform a permissionless emergency exit. 👇Learn more in the thread👇

Proud to join Pacific Meta's Global Blockchain Partner Solutions as the sole privacy solution. Japanese enterprises and users deserve to transact onchain without exposing every move to the public. That's what Privacy Boost brings. Let's build 🇯🇵

Many people have claimed that with AI-assisted bug finding, secure code (and hence trustless anything) will be impossible. I have a much more optimistic take, and AI-assisted formal verification is a major part of the reason why: vitalik.eth.limo/general/2026/0…
