1/ PropAMMs just blew through $1B in total volume swapped on Ethereum, with DeFi users enjoying price improvement on over 130K swaps.
This has been a collaborative effort to bring more liquidity to Ethereum, utilising guarantees of economic security, decentralization, liveness and censorship resistance 🧵
Hello, world!
We are the Argot Collective: A non-profit, democratically organized, research & development group focused on maintaining free and independent software related to Ethereum.
Read the announcement on our blog for all details or follow this thread for a tl;dr ▾
@argotorg "Formal and source code verification are the ultimate pillars for long-term blockchain sustainability. Incredible to see a dedicated collective focusing on securing Ethereum's core infrastructure. This aligns perfectly with what we aim for. 🛠️🛡️ #dollar1usd#Ethereum#OpenSource"
1/ Announcing Ethereum Institutional
An independent non-profit dedicated to accelerating the institutional adoption of Ethereum, its L2s, applications and overall ecosystem.
@ethereuminsti "Institutional adoption requires a solid, secure, and resilient layer that guarantees transaction integrity. This is a massive step forward for the entire L2 ecosystem. Ready to see how this shapes the future of Web3 infrastructure! 🌐📈 #dollar1usd#Ethereum#Web3"
@ethereumfndn "Bringing zkEVM closer to the core protocol is a massive milestone. The ultimate goal is ensuring transaction integrity and robust MEV-resilience as we scale next-gen decentralized infrastructure. Great insights from the team! 🛠️⚡ #dollar1usd#Ethereum#zkEVM"
More tagged CrimeEnjoyor contracts, retail wallet breakdowns, and an all-time high in delegations on our EIP-7702 dashboard
We’ve made several updates to our @Dune dashboard to improve accuracy, expand contract tracking, and surface clearer adoption patterns ↓
🧩 Clarification on reporting around our EIP-7702 findings
After we released the last update, some headlines misrepresented the core message. Here’s what’s actually happening:
EIP-7702 is not flawed, and it is safe to use in retail wallets. The mechanism itself works as intended.
The spike in delegations comes from multiple malicious contracts that share identical bytecode. These are not part of legitimate wallet infrastructure. In fact, it is not possible for users of trusted wallets to authorize these contracts, as wallets only delegate to their own audited contracts. These malicious contracts act as sweepers. They are deployed after a private key has already been leaked, and are used to automatically redirect any funds sent to the compromised EOA.
Attackers are quick to adopt any new mechanism that allows them to do bad things. That doesn’t mean EIP-7702 is unsafe in general.
We did not build detection tools. What we did was verify and label the most reused malicious contract so its intent is transparent, traceable, and easy to flag in tooling and dashboards.
🔐 New contract tracking
CrimeEnjoyor2 and AdvancedCrimerEnjoyor are new highly reused sweeper contracts that have been now fully verified.
Together with HardcodedCrimeEnjoyor, these contracts account for a large portion of new malicious delegation behavior.
📈 All-time high in daily delegations + multichain expansion
Last Friday marked a new ATH in EIP-7702 delegation activity, once again driven primarily by sweeper contracts. Since then, sweeper usage has expanded Ethereum to @unichain and @gnosischain.
🧹 New “Sweeps activity on Ethereum” section
We’ve added a dedicated view to track malicious delegation behavior tied to the ‘Crime’ category of delegate contracts. This section analyzes sweeps activity from authorized addresses that delegated to malicious contracts, and includes:
‣ Recent sweep transactions
‣ Total ETH swept, with breakdown by contract type
‣ Gas usage distribution by contract category
‣ Total ETH used for authorizations
‣ Leaderboard of authorizations from compromised EOAs
‣ Count of unique addresses authorized by crime-tagged contracts
🛠️ Improved data accuracy
Some authorization logic isn’t fully captured by Dune’s native functionality yet, especially around authorization validity and authority recovery.
To support more precise analysis, we pre-processed this data ourselves and published a public dataset.
→→→ Search in our dashboard: `dune.wintermute_research.dataset_pectra_authorizations`
We’ll be updating it regularly, and welcome others to use it in their own dashboards and queries.
This dataset now powers several new views in our dashboard:
‣ Daily breakdown of valid vs. invalid authorizations
‣ Distribution of valid/invalid authorizations and unique authorized addresses
‣ Cumulative and categorical charts based on valid-only authorizations
‣ Recent authorizations list with authority and validity flags (updates with delay)
👛 Retail Wallets section enhancements
‣ Daily and cumulative delegation charts now include breakdowns by retail wallet
‣ New pie chart shows delegation volume split across supported wallets
→ Currently includes @MetaMask, @wallet, @AmbireWallet, @Uniswap, and others
→ Improves visibility into actual user adoption across wallet flows
With more verified contracts, cleaner delegation data, and ongoing support from you, we’re making EIP-7702 adoption more visible, auditable, and understandable.

Please get ready to claim the Binance Alpha airdrop today at 9:00 (UTC).
This event features an updated Binance Alpha Box model, where the airdrop pool includes tokens from multiple projects. Users with at least 240 Binance Alpha Points can claim one token reward on a first-come, first-served basis.
Additionally, this airdrop features three reward tiers: Common (60% of the reward pool), Rare (35%), and Super Rare (5%), each with different alpha box values. When claiming, users will be placed into one of these tiers. Rewards are distributed according to these tier proportions. If rewards are not fully distributed, the points threshold will automatically decrease by 5 points every 5 minutes.
Please stay tuned to Binance Wallet’s official channels for the specific airdrop tokens and the latest updates. For more information, please visit the FAQ page: https://t.co/hqrNupzBCR
