Introducing KlarnaUSD, our first @Stablecoin. We’re the first bank to launch on @tempo, the payments blockchain by @stripe and @paradigm. With stablecoin transactions already at $27T a year, we’re bringing faster, cheaper cross-border payments to our 114M customers. Crypto is finally ready for scale. This is just the beginning. Excited to build the future with Tempo and Bridge.

BREAKING: Aztec just shipped the Ignition Chain, the first fully decentralized L2 on Ethereum. This launches the decentralized consensus layer that powers the Aztec Network. ignition.aztec.network 🧵

Base is doing things the right way: an L2 on top of Ethereum, that uses its centralized features to provide stronger UX features, while still being tied into Ethereum's decentralized base layer for security. Base does not have custody over your funds, they cannot steal funds or stop you from withdrawing funds (this is part of the L2beat stage 1 definition). You can see Base's status as an L2 on l2beat: l2beat.com/scaling/projec… I feel like many people have been confused by recent cynicism and think that things like L2beat are a weird sort of nerd-sharia compliance authority. This is NOT what is going on. The security that L2s provide, that L2beat measures, reflects concrete properties that protect you as a user from being rugged. Here is an explanation of how, if an L2 shuts down, users are automatically able to withdraw funds even without that L2's involvement: x.com/l2beat/status/… Here is an example of how L2s prevent the operator from censoring transactions, that happened on Soneium earlier this year: x.com/gauthamzzz/sta… This is what we mean when we say that L2s are non-custodial, they are extensions of ethereum, not glorified servers that happen to submit hashes. There are concrete pathways implemented in smart contract logic on Ethereum L1, that have been successfully used in the wild, that ensure that the L2 users' funds are ultimately controlled by L1, they cannot be stolen or blocked by the L2 operator.

Looking for something to do after $LINEA TGE? 👀 Looks like a new mega-project just popped up. @ForteProtocol is the infrastructure layer to define, launch, and monetize on-chain economy. Forte raised a crazy $910M back in 2021 (don't ask why anyone would even need that much, but everything points to those funds being real). They went quiet for a long time, but now they're back with Galxe quests you can complete here: app.galxe.com/quest/FortePro… Yeah, the golden age of Galxe quests is long gone, but this project feels like one of those you really don't wanna skip. 🚀


Somm launched the first new product in over a year. We launched it because we finally think we have a vault that will stand the test of time. It fundementally answers the question of how can we make Ethereum DeFi work well in the rollup centric world. Here are the core theses behind the Alpha stETH product - Liquid Staked ETH is absolutely key to the success of DeFi on Ethereum. - Liquid Staked ETH has struggled on both L1s/L2s since rollups became the primary hubs of user activity. - Smartly routed liqudity for stETH is the key to making ETH DeFi work again. Bringing ETH back to the center of DeFi instead of stablecoins unlocks the path to ETH $10k. Give Alpha stETH a try

The Linea TGE is live, as of yesterday morning. It wasn’t the smoothest first 55 minutes of a token launch, but we adjusted and provisioned even more resources so we could handle the overwhelming interest and the launch smoothed out. Going into the launch we expected enormous demand and even overprovisioned by 3x, and we were not nearly bullish enough. Early demand was more than twice our highest expectations.

Ethscriptions is a protocol @michaelhirsch and I created in 2023. Originally it was a joke: porting Bitcoin’s Inscriptions, which are useful precisely because BTC has no smart contracts, to Ethereum which has smart contracts. What's the point?! But joke or not, Ethscriptions were the only “cheaper NFT” option in 2023 that didn’t involve a centralized L2, and this was powerful. They were our first Unstoppable Rollup (@CantStopETH)! But Ethscriptions isn’t a *real* rollup because it has no proofs. Trust-minimized bridging to other chains is impossible and it’s quite difficult for two independent implementations to know they’re applying the same protocol rules! While Ethscriptions is completely decentralized on the protocol level, in practice everyone just trusts the same indexer implementation. Also, Ethscriptions is not EVM-compatible, meaning the ecosystem can’t take advantage of EVM tooling and EVM-based marketplaces and platforms have difficulty integrating. To fix these problems, we are going to upgrade Ethscriptions to an EVM chain, make it provable, and become a Stage 2 App Chain on L2Beat! For normal users this is like Ethscriptions changing databases. It’s an infrastructural change that won’t affect functionality. However for power users and developers the upgrade will unlock a new world of possibilities! Join us in 30 mins TODAY to discuss more! x.com/i/spaces/1RDxl…


$100M TVL reached. Onward and upward. 🚀
