Pleasing Market is replacing LayerZero with Chainlink infrastructure after conducting an extensive security assessment following the recent $292 million exploit targeting Kelp DAO and LayerZero, according to a Wednesday statement. With this move, Pleasing Market has become the latest project to move away from LayerZero in favor of Chainlink. The project joins KelpDAO, Solv Protocol,
Blockchain analytics platform Chainalysis has reported that wallets interacting with Coinbase’s x402 protocol have generated more than 100 million transactions on Base since the payment standard launched, offering one of the clearest signs yet that machine-to-machine payments are beginning to gain traction on public blockchains. Built to let software agents pay for online resources automatically,
DNA Protocol and $XRP Ledger: The Rise of Sovereign Identity Powered by Zero-Knowledge Proofs DNA Protocol, a platform built around decentralized identity, is advancing a model of sovereign identity anchored on the $XRP Ledger (XRPL), using zero-knowledge proofs to verify personal and genomic attributes without exposing the underlying data. For decades, identity has been defined
Agentic payment activity on Coinbase’s Base network has surpassed 100 million transactions, signaling that machine-to-machine payments are moving beyond the proof-of-concept stage in onchain environments. According to a new Chainalysis report, wallets interacting with Coinbase’s x402 protocol generated more than 100 million transactions on Base within roughly nine months of launch. The x402 protocol allows
How MiCA and $EURCV Are Driving $XRP Ledger and Multi-Chain Stablecoin Adoption According to Evernorth, the debate is no longer about whether traditional banks will adopt blockchain, it is already happening. As a result, the focus now is on the pace of adoption, the networks that will support regulated financial activity, and the extent to
Arbitrum is researching a new AI inference verification approach that reduces proof generation time from 15 minutes to milliseconds. A paper by Offchain Labs proposes verifying AI model inferences through random sampling of internal paths, without re-executing every operation. The protocol uses the same dispute resolution logic as Arbitrum One to detect model substitution in
As part of efforts to make easy access to RWA offerings on-chain, Brickken, a tokenization platform, today entered into a strategic partnership with Taiko, a decentralized layer-2 rollup protocol built on Ethereum. The partnership enabled Brickken to integrate Taiko’s layer-2 scaling solution, aiming to advance scalability and interoperability on its tokenization network. Brickken is an
Quant Network‘s Overledger and Chainlink‘s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) are the two most closely watched interoperability solutions in institutional blockchain today. They solve the same core problem — getting different blockchains to talk to each other, but they take structurally different routes to get there. Understanding those differences matters if you’re assessing which infrastructure is
The future of asset management is shifting on-chain, but the transition is exposing a major structural conflict over traditional corporate revenue. Speaking on a panel at the Proof of Talk summit in Paris, Jenny Johnson, CEO of Franklin Templeton, a $1.74 trillion asset manager, openly addressed the industry hesitation to deploy decentralized networks. According to
ENI, a popular enterprise-centered blockchain network, has partnered with Noos Protocol, a cutting-edge Web3 infrastructure platform. The partnership is poised to start the next stage of AI-led infrastructure and wider decentralized innovation. ENI disclosed in its official social media announcement that the partnership combines its enterprise-scale blockchain capabilities with Noos Protocol’s focus on scalable data
