LambdaClass Details Ethlambda’s Minimalist Post-Quantum Architecture

LambdaClass shared a follow-up post detailing ethlambda’s minimalist architecture, its Lean Consensus client participating in pq-devnet-2. The post explains the 10-crate Rust structure, the actor-based BlockChain component handling fork choice and state transitions via message-passing, integration of leanSig and leanMultisig for XMSS aggregation, libp2p networking over QUIC, and Prometheus metrics aligned with the leanMetrics specification.

Miden and LambdaClass Launch Strategic Collaboration to Build Privacy-Focused Onchain Ventures

Miden and LambdaClass partner to co-build standalone, revenue-generating companies on Miden’s privacy-focused infrastructure. Structured as joint ventures rather than grant-funded experiments, the collaboration combines Miden’s infrastructure and privacy architecture with Lambda Class’s engineering and execution expertise to develop distribution-led onchain businesses.

Ethereum Foundation Announces Executive Leadership Transition

The Ethereum Foundation shared that Tomasz Stańczak is stepping down as Co-Executive Director, with Bastian Aue appointed as interim Co-ED effective immediately. The EF Board highlighted Tomasz’s role in strengthening operations, enterprise outreach, and ecosystem engagement during a key growth phase, and noted Bastian’s deep institutional knowledge and prior leadership across grants, enterprise, and operations as critical for ensuring continuity.

Uniswap Labs and Securitize Enable Onchain Trading of BlackRock’s BUIDL

Uniswap Labs and Securitize announced an integration making BlackRock’s USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) available for onchain trading via UniswapX. The collaboration enables near-instant liquidity between BUIDL and USDC for whitelisted investors, combining decentralized finance infrastructure with tokenized real-world assets to expand liquidity options.

Coinbase Introduces Agentic Wallets for Autonomous AI Agents

Coinbase unveiled Agentic Wallets, wallet infrastructure designed specifically for AI agents to spend, earn, and trade autonomously with built-in security guardrails. Powered by the x402 payments protocol and integrated with the Coinbase Developer Platform, the solution enables machine-to-machine payments, gasless trading on Base, and programmable spending limits for autonomous onchain operations.

Ethereum Foundation Partners with Sherlock for Fusaka Audit Contest

The Ethereum Foundation’s Protocol Security Team partnered with Sherlock to run a 28-day, $2M audit contest as a final stress test before the Fusaka upgrade went live. The contest drew over 510 researchers and uncovered four high-severity issues that were fixed and verified ahead of mainnet, setting a new benchmark under Ethereum’s Trillion Dollar Security initiative.

Aave Proposes “Aave Will Win” Token-Centric Revenue Framework

Aave introduced the Aave Will Win Framework, proposing that 100% of revenue from all Aave-branded products be directed to the Aave DAO treasury under a token-centric model. The proposal also outlines new monetization features in Aave V4, seeks DAO funding for Aave Labs’ development and growth, and presents plans for a future foundation to govern and protect the Aave brand.

LayerZero presents Zero: a Multi-Core Architecture for Scalable Blockchains

Zero introduced a new blockchain design that separates execution from verification using ZK proofs, enabling a heterogeneous network with Block Producers and lightweight Block Validators. The system scales through parallel "Atomicity Zones" and targets up to 2M TPS per Zone by tackling storage (QMDB), parallel scheduling (FAFO), real-time proving (Jolt Pro), and high-throughput networking (SVID), aiming to combine Ethereum-level decentralization with significantly higher throughput.
