This brings our grant-making closer to the Ethereum ecosystem we support.
This change applies to new applications submitted on or after June 10.
0/ Clear signing is now live.
An open standard to end blind signing, making human-readable transactions default.
This effort brings a major UX and Security upgrade to transaction signing on Ethereum.
We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve raised $2M in pre-seed funding led by @galaxyhq to build the natively verifiable stablecoin, USBD.

A fact I feel like almost nobody knows: Ethereum's gas limit will be increased to ~200M after Glamsterdam, a huge increase from the 60M we have today.
That’s a 3x+ of L1 execution capacity, with expectation of further doubling soons after that. Assuming no similar increase in demand, fees could stay near zero for years.
This is the result of several innovations coming together at the right time: ePBS gives payloads more time, BALs let clients prefetch/parallelize execution work, and gas repricings make higher limits safe.
1/ The Ethereum Audit Subsidy
A joint initiative with audit providers to subsidize the cost of audits for Ethereum builders. Security audits are a best practice, yet expensive. The subsidy program makes audits accessible and strengthens the Ethereum ecosystem.
We’re joining the @chainlink Build program! 🔥
Spicenet will adopt Chainlink as our exclusive data and interoperability oracle infrastructure.
By joining Build, we aim to accelerate ecosystem growth and long-term adoption of our DeFi brokerage network by gaining enhanced access to the Chainlink standard and technical support, as well as incentivizing greater cryptoeconomic security, in exchange for a commitment to provide network fees and other benefits to the Chainlink community and service providers, including stakers.

We're excited to introduce Chainlink Rewards Season 1—the next evolution of the community engagement & rewards program.
https://t.co/SXSufjFTTQ
Stake LINK.
Earn Cubes.
Allocate Cubes.
Claim Tokens.
Season 1 launches November 11, featuring nine Build projects.
🧵👇
Earlier this year, Chainlink Rewards Season Genesis launched in collaboration with @spaceandtime, achieving major success.
Key results ↓
• 11K+ eligible claimers
• 73M+ SXT tokens claimed
• 44% of SXT stakers claimed via CLR
As a community engagement and rewards program, Chainlink Rewards enables Chainlink Build projects to make their native tokens claimable by Chainlink ecosystem participants, including eligible LINK stakers.
In total, Space and Time committed 4% of their total token supply to the Chainlink Build program, with half of this commitment made available to eligible LINK Stakers on May 8, 2025.
Joining in September 2022 as one of the earliest members of the Build program, Space and Time has since accelerated the growth and adoption of their ecosystem through this collaboration.
As the first pilot launch, Season Genesis provided insights into how the program could evolve into the future, including plans for a more advanced claiming mechanism incorporating a collection of Chainlink Build projects.
We look forward to our continued collaboration with the Chainlink Build community and furthering the growth and adoption of the Web3 ecosystem.
@itsolelehmann Funny thing is, a few years ago the obvious answer would have been London as a midpoint between the American and continental European approaches. Now that feels way off. Your best bet is probably Lisbon or somewhere in the US that’s more laid back than Miami
