Launching the Ethereum Applications Guild (EAG) The Ethereum Applications Guild (EAG) is being launched as a global non-profit collaborative organization supporting the Ethereum application ecosystem. As the Ethereum ecosystem reaches a new level of infrastructure maturity, the focus is increasingly shifting toward the application layer. EAG aims to support this transition by advancing the innovation, adoption, and real-world impact of Ethereum-native applications.

You can now use ETH as collateral to trade perps on Lighter! Choose how much ETH to deploy and trade with greater capital efficiency.

If you’re tired of watching exploits dominate the timeline, this is your moment to act. The Ethereum Security QF Round is LIVE! Support the people and projects securing Ethereum and its L2s. 500 ETH (~$1M ) in matching from @thedaofund. Explore & donate: qf.giveth.io/qf/ethereum-sec…

The 2026 Ethstaker Staking Survey is open.

Hide your trail in two taps ⛓️‍💥 Fluidkey protects your privacy by generating a fresh address for every transaction But what if you want to break the onchain link between receiving and sending funds? This is now possible with our @HoudiniSwap integration

From privacy breakthroughs to AI agents and institutional rails, the Ethereum ecosystem keeps shipping. Here are 22 things the ecosystem delivered over the past few weeks. 0/ @gnosis_ and partners introduced The Ethereum Economic Zone (@etheconomiczone), a framework to unify the L1 and L2s into a more composable system with better interoperability. 1/ @aztecnetwork Alpha went live, a feature-complete privacy stack built natively on Ethereum. 2/ @aave V4 was released with a new hub-and-spoke architecture with support for over 20 assets across three initial liquidity hubs. 3/ @PrivacyEthereum released Social Recovery SDK, a wallet recovery model where trusted guardians can help restore access if the owner loses their private key, replacing seed-phrase backups with programmable onchain policy. 4/ Post-quantum wallets launched on @Starknet. A path to quantum resistance without address changes or hard forks. 5/ The @ethereumfndn's Board released the EF Mandate. This document, which was first intended for EF members, reaffirms the promise of Ethereum, and the role of EF within this ecosystem. 6/ Private transfers are live on @Scroll_ZKP. You can now send funds privately onchain, advancing default user protections and confidentiality. 7/ @base introduced Batches Cohort 003. 12 teams were selected from 1,100 building across AI, DeFi, payments, and prediction markets, pushing forward OnchainApps. 8/ @ethereumfndn launched pq.ethereum (dot) org. Supporting coordination and research in post-quantum cryptography. Two breakthrough papers progressing research on PQ, with input from Ethereum researchers, were also released. 9/ Stablecoins on Ethereum hit a new ATH. Supply surpasses $180B, up 150% in 3 years, with ~60% market share globally, reinforcing Ethereum’s role in stablecoins and DeFi. 10/ @Morpho launched Morpho Agents (beta), allowing users to integrate lending into apps via natural language using AI agents and accelerating the convergence of DeFi and AI. 11/ @thedaofund deployed $1M via an Ethereum Security quadratic funding round hosted by @Giveth, funding work to strengthen security across the ecosystem. 12/ Deposit time from L1 to L2s and exchanges can now be as low as 13 seconds due to the new Fast Confirmation Rule (FCR). This new industry standard can be adopted by the ecosystem over the next few months. 13/ @hinkal_protocol launched Hinkal Pay, end-to-end confidential payments where sender, receiver, and amounts remain private. 14/ @peerxyz launched Peer Verify, allowing users to prove their identity, in a privacy-preserving way via ZK proofs. 15/ @ensdomains integrated with PayPal, allowing users to send funds cross-border using ENS names instead of addresses. 16/ @AskVenice shipped verifiable end-to-end encrypted AI, introducing privacy systems that can be externally audited and proven. 17/ @safe released Safenet (beta), a pre-execution security layer for Safe wallets that runs before transactions execute onchain. 18/ @SiloFinance launched Silo V3 for safer lending markets in DeFi. The team rebuilt core assumption behind lending so collateral does not need to be sold to keep markets solvent. 19/ @coinbase announced x402, an initiative to establish the x402 protocol as a universal standard for AI-driven payments, is moving under the Linux Foundation to ensure vendor-neutral, community-governed oversight of the protocol. 20/ @zksync introduced The Cari Network, a new platform to bring tokenized deposits onchain, developed alongside five regional banks and powered by ZKsync’s Prividium. 21/ @EthCC completed their 9th annual event in Cannes with attendees from across the industry. @ETHGlobal hit a milestone with their 300th event following ETHCC, continuing to support builders across the global ecosystem.

Introducing "Linea Insights" 📺 A series where Linea's cryptography team shares what we are building and the thinking behind it. Following our announcement at @eth_proofs, @zk_evm walks us through the shift from direct EVM arithmetization to RISC-V.

Ethereal news weekly #19 ⚖️ @rstormsf acquittal hearing 🧑‍💻 @ETHGlobal Cannes hackathon finalists 🕸 @evmnow block explorer ethereal.news/ethereal-news-…

Core devs are targeting next week for the 1st Glamsterdam devnet for @ethereum's next upgrade ePBS has been an incredibly structurally complex change, splitting block production into 2 coordinating parties inside consensus Getchu a download on the upgrade's status here: (🧵)

Integrated Fast Swaps are live. Skip the withdrawal queue and unstake into multiple assets - including ETH, WETH, USDC & WBTC - for instant liquidity. Native. Seamless. Instant. ⚡

The EVC (Ethereum Vault Connector) is the core of Euler V2 - and what makes it the most flexible lending infrastructure in DeFi. It is an immutable, open-source contract that lets any ERC-4626 vault recognize deposits in other vaults as collateral. No governance. No fees. No upgrade keys. Anyone can build on it.

Private transfers are LIVE:

For AI to thrive in regulated industries, transparency and compliance are critical. HGTP delivers a blockchain-based protocol that ensures data integrity through immutable notarization and quantum-resistant encryption. Validated by the U.S. Department of Defense, HGTP is the gold standard for running AI applications where trust and compliance matter most. Build AI that stands up to scrutiny. If it’s not running on HGTP, it’s not built on trust.

Delegated staking is how you help secure the Hypergraph - no hardware required. By staking $DAG, you support validator nodes powering real-world data infrastructure for: ✅AI dataset provenance ✅DoD-validated telemetry ✅Retail analytics at the edge

🔒 Data is only as valuable as the trust behind it. We’re redefining trust with our Digital Evidence product, and we were thrilled to showcase its potential at Panasonic’s exclusive Mobility Connect event alongside 30 top mobility companies. Selected as one of two presenters, we demonstrated how our blockchain-based solution—already deployed with the U.S. Department of Defense and Panasonic’s @TOUGHBOOK division—secures data for first responders and connected vehicles. By cryptographically signing data at the source, we ensure tamper-proof compliance, reducing liability and unlocking new opportunities for industries like law enforcement, EMS, and beyond. The feedback from Panasonic’s leadership was inspiring, and we’re excited to help shape the future of their product lines. Together, we’re building a transparent, secure, and scalable future for mobility! 🌍

With delegated staking on Constellation, validators—and the metagraphs they represent—aren’t just securing the network. They’re competing for your stake. Each metagraph can offer custom rewards, tailored to its mission and value. The result? A dynamic staking economy where stakers choose based on purpose and potential yield. You’re not just locking tokens. You’re allocating capital to networks with real-world upside.
