Why this matters: Ten years of consistent building across infrastructure, payments, and apps underscore Ethereum’s durability.

Fredrik outlined Phase 2 of the Ethereum Foundation's “Trillion Dollar Security Initiative", covering a wallet security standard, solving blind signing, reducing vulnerable deployments, and in‑protocol security research. The update emphasizes coordinating a "Minimum Security Standard" for Ethereum wallets.

Why this matters: Raising baseline security reduces real‑world risk across wallets and contracts.

Grow The Pie was awarded an Ethereum Foundation ESP grant to list and maintain mainnet data modules, including fundamentals, economics, blockspace usage, application metrics, data availability metrics and more. The effort focuses on consistent, transparent tracking of Ethereum’s core indicators.

Why this matters: High‑quality public metrics help users, builders, and researchers make informed decisions.

SharpLink Gaming highlighted Ethereum’s decade of continuous operation with no outages, maintenance windows, or downtime. The comparison contrasts centralized protocols’ multi‑hour outages with Ethereum’s resilience through forks, upgrades, and broader crises.

Why this matters: Proven uptime supports Ethereum’s role as critical settlement infrastructure.

Routescan reviewed the last 30 days of Ethereum mainnet activity and reported: 1.68m average daily transactions (+17.9%), 0.80m average daily active addresses (+22.7%), and 47.1T average daily gas used (+24.2%). The dashboard shows improvement across usage, activity, and gas consumption.

Why this matters: Broad‑based growth across multiple metrics signals healthy network demand.

@SERdotxyz announced Argot Collective joined the Strategic ETH Reserve with 2,474 ETH. Argot, formed by former Ethereum Foundation members, maintains key tools such as Solidity.

Why this matters: Contributions from long‑time maintainers reinforce Ethereum’s strategic reserves and tooling ecosystem.

Anthony Sassano noted that the Strategic ETH Reserve now holds more than 4 million ETH. The milestone reflects growing alignment around ETH as a strategic asset.

Why this matters: A larger reserve can support ecosystem initiatives and signal long‑term confidence.

Amiru.eth shared that a brief domain issue with Puffer Finance social media accounts and website was promptly resolved, user funds are safe, and a smart contract pause taken as a precaution would be re‑enabled shortly. The note followed yesterday's report warning to avoid the application's socials and website.

Why this matters: Clear incident communication and quick mitigation help maintain trust.

Four apps launching on Ethereum Mainnet and Stage 1 and Stage 2 Layer 2s were added to the ongoing Ethereum Daily App Launch Mega Thread. The additions included

Why this matters: Centralized discovery helps surface momentum across the app landscape.

Worldcoin announced its “real human network” reached 15 million verified users, averaging one verification every four seconds since launch. The update underscores continued growth in biometric‑based identity participation.

Why this matters: Large‑scale identity primitives may unlock new onchain user experiences and protections.

Parry Sondhi shared a thread on Self Protocol’s “Key Developer Offerings (KDOs),” presenting a structured summary of the digital identity platform's services. The thread outlines identity‑focused developer components.

Why this matters: Clear developer offerings can accelerate app integrations around identity.

Artist @egodead shared that the “W.A.R. (Working Around Reality)” collection is now live on art platform, SuperRare.

Messari published a "State of Ronin Q2" report, citing 170+ daily contract deployments in Q2, Jin’s Fortune Spin generating over $682k in its first 46 days, and expanding gamified experiences, with OpenSea accounting for ~50.6% of Q2 NFT volume after a late‑Q1 launch. The network positioned itself as Ethereum’s “gamification engine.”

Why this matters: Strong L2 + sidechain activity around gaming points to new user growth vectors.

@binji_x published an article introducing Futarchy, a governance model where citizens vote on the outcomes they value, and prediction markets determine which policies are most likely to achieve them. By aligning incentives so that being right is rewarded and being wrong has a cost, it transforms decision-making from popularity contests into evidence-driven policy selection.

Anthony Rose discussed privacy on zkSync and Ethereum and how “prividiums” could advance the state of the art, referencing recent U.S. stablecoin legislation. The post frames urgency around scalable privacy for mainstream adoption.

Why this matters: Clear privacy paths are essential as stablecoin usage scales to larger populations.
