🇺🇸 JUST IN: SEC says certain crypto interfaces, including DeFi front-ends, wallet extensions, and apps, may operate without broker-dealer registration under conditions:
• No custody of user funds (self-custodial only)
• No investment advice or recommendations
• No order routing or execution
• Fixed, neutral fee structures only
• No discretion over transactions or market activity
We have prevented a governance attack in Shutter DAO (0x36): ~$100K of SHU tokens could capture a treasury of +$3M
We are committed to securing the @ethereum ecosystem, its protocols, team and investors.
Here are the details 👇
ETHDenver is using ENS for ticketing, with each attendee’s ticket issued as a unique ENS subname like https://t.co/ohh5mqI6IP.
These subnames resolve as websites and function as each attendee’s onchain account. 25K subnames have already been issued!
A quick update on ENSv2: we have made the decision to deploy ENSv2 exclusively on Ethereum L1 and to cease development of Namechain.
To be clear, ENSv2 will still ship. The only thing that’s changed is that instead of deploying ENSv2 on our own L2 stack, it will be deployed on L1.
It is important to note that ENSv2 is ultimately an upgrade to ENS as it exists today — it’s still ENS! Regardless of where it ultimately gets deployed, it does not fundamentally change ENS the protocol nor does it change any part of our mission and ultimate goal of building the identity layer on Ethereum. The design for ENSv2 was always intended to work fully as designed, whether deployed on L1 or L2. Our product roadmap does not change.
We have detailed progress on the ENSv2 Hub to show what exactly v2 will mean for you, and what the team has been building: giving each name its own registry (making your .eth names more powerful and customizable to your own rules!), building two brand new apps from the ground up (both deployed to testnet this week), and much more. I am so excited for this release (soon!) and think it will completely change the way you interact with your own ENS names.
The timing of this decision coincides with a broader discussion about the role of L2s in Ethereum. I continue to believe that L2s play a vital role in extending the value of the world computer that is Ethereum, and ENS will continue to support as many chains as possible. In fact, very soon anyone will be able to register a .eth name regardless of which EVM chain they are on — meaning that even if your assets live on Optimism or Arbitrum, it’s a one-click process (no bridge, no gas tokens). We also continue to believe in a multi-chain world beyond EVM chains (a reminder that ENS has and always will support your addresses across major chains like Solana, Bitcoin, and more).
We have published the detailed rationale for the decision to stay on L1 on our blog, and I encourage you to read it (in the QT here!)
The .eth stays on 🫡
Claiming an ENS name will get a lot simpler with ENSv2.
The ENS App Alpha is now live on Sepolia
Faster registration, stablecoin payments, notifications, chain and wallet abstraction, and a redesigned dashboard.

1/ New high-yield vaults are live on Ethereum.
We’ve launched kpk USDC Yield and kpk ETH Yield, a higher-yield tier within our @Morpho V2 vault framework, built with rules-based automation and defined risk limits. 👇
🔥 Beyond the Runway: Designing Sustainable Treasuries with Volatile Tokens ⚖️
How do you build a resilient treasury when your main asset moves unpredictably? This panel breaks down what’s working, what’s failing, and the new tools DAOs are testing to stay sustainable.

When FTX exploded, literally all of DeFi was like “DeFi fixes this!!!!!” and then turned around to create opaque products where humans were borrowing and lending and leverage looping user’s capital completely off the books?
When the Uni DAO passed the DUNA proposal, @blockworks wrote a notably thoughtful piece on it.

A few of us even sent it to our parents to explain what we'd been working on — the ultimate compliment to the journo.
Wishing their newsroom the best.
I’m far less active on socials and wish it were more pleasant to engage. There’s just so much outbound blame, toxicity and gotcha/exposé/inflaming content. It’s super taxing to be in it for most hours of the day, across timezones. It's infectious and part of burnout.
Many personas seem built around being agitators, blaming others for their own choices, i think stemming from how easy past cycles made things look. Social communities branded as made up of professionals (selling something to another). Then happens a lot of fall off as folks do (or dont) realise they weren’t really operating that way and its also just a tough game that doesn't award short term thinking. That realisation hits people differently, and some get/stay nasty.
The positive in all this is that, when it plays out long enough, a new wave of (few) folks have sobriety moments, or (fewer) luck moments, and may start contributing to more sensible and constructive sharing. That’s what makes it appealing to return. I feel we might be nearing there.
Happy to have participated this. Despite the EF's shift towards bigger cities, we still think that supporting local communities are still highly impactful.
Shout out to @ensdomains for being the lead sponsor (@Coltron_eth).
rotki exists because we believe software should serve users and not exploit them.
We’re building aligned, local-first, privacy-preserving tools that prove a different model is possible.
If you share that vision now during the gitcoin round is a good time to stand with us 💪
Yesterday, we introduced kpk-curated ETH Pools.
Today, we’re launching an incentive campaign with @GearboxProtocol and @ReserveProtocol to bootstrap liquidity and reward early participants.
