2025 was a year characterized by industry momentum. A year of pivotal advancement in regulatory clarity. A year that staking crossed over into the traditional financial world. As we welcome and plan for 2026, we express gratitude for 2025. The year the world’s largest markets, institutions, tokens and ecosystems embraced staking. Staking arrived and Figment had our best year…yet.

🚀 Fusaka is (nearly) here. Ethereum’s latest upgrade brings higher gas limits, PeerDAS sampling, and new blob requirements, all with major implications for ETH stakers & validator operators. If you run validators, especially large clusters, now’s the time to review hardware bandwidth plans. Update below from @builder_benny 👇 figment.io/insights/fusaka-i…

Update on the NPM attack: The attack fortunately failed, with almost no victims.🔒 It began with a phishing email from a fake npm support domain that stole credentials and gave attackers access to publish malicious package updates. The injected code targeted web crypto activity, hooking into Ethereum, Solana and other chains to hijack transactions, and replacing wallet addresses directly in network responses. The attackers’ mistakes caused crashes in CI/CD pipelines, which led to early detection and limited impact. Still, this is a clear reminder: if your funds sit in a software wallet or on an exchange, you’re one code execution away from losing everything. Supply chain compromises remain a powerful malware delivery vector, and we’re also seeing more targeted attacks emerge. Hardware wallets are built to withstand these threats. Features like Clear Signing let you confirm exactly what’s happening, and Transaction Checks flag suspicious activity before it’s too late. The immediate danger may have passed, but the threat hasn’t. Stay safe.
🚨 There’s a large-scale supply chain attack in progress: the NPM account of a reputable developer has been compromised. The affected packages have already been downloaded over 1 billion times, meaning the entire JavaScript ecosystem may be at risk. The malicious payload works by silently swapping crypto addresses on the fly to steal funds. If you use a hardware wallet, pay attention to every transaction before signing and you're safe. If you don’t use a hardware wallet, refrain from making any on-chain transactions for now. It’s still unclear whether the attacker is also stealing seeds from software wallets directly at this stage. Excellent report here: jdstaerk.substack.com/p/we-j…

Happy 23,032,823 1 blocks Ethereum! etherscan.io/block/0 etherscan.io/block/1 ... etherscan.io/block/23032823 It’s not just this thing we call Ethereum, it’s the entire crypto playbook: open, permissionless, decentralized and voluntary. A counterbalance to the numerous systems that have failed and continue to fail in real time. Thanks to everyone running, using, building, researching and talking crypto. To the next 10!
