Welcome back to Ethereum Daily — where we cover the the most notable development, research, and applications across the Ethereum ecosystem. Let’s dive in 👇
Zora has introduced Creator Coins, a new feature that allows any creator to launch personal ERC-20 tokens. These coins are customizable and can be used to support community incentives, project governance, or creative funding. The system is built using Zora’s modular onchain protocol.
BTCS Inc., a Nasdaq-listed firm, purchased 1,000 ETH through Aave at ~2.78% APR. The acquisition increases the company's ETH treasury to around 14,600 ETH. The transaction was completed via decentralized borrowing without share dilution.
The Ethereum Foundation Protocol Research team shared updates on blob mempool architecture, EVM gas metering models, and MEV mitigation on L2s. Other work includes research on threshold signature security and economic modeling for EIP-7918’s blob_base_cost. These efforts support ongoing improvements to scalability and validator coordination.
Morpho Labs launched the first Web3 Security Operations Center (Web3SOC) focused on DeFi protocols. It provides real-time visibility into onchain risks such as admin role changes, contract upgrades, or malicious governance actions. The system is designed for continuous monitoring across decentralized systems.
The proposal deadline for Ethereum’s next network upgrade, Glamsterdam, has closed. Major proposals include:
ePBS
EVM Object Format (EOF)
Delayed Execution
EVM64
Available Attestation
Block-level Access Lists
6-second slot times
Pureth (EIP-7919)
FOCIL
Final feature selection is now under review by core developers.
Succinct Labs introduced the Succinct Prover Network, a decentralized zkSNARK infrastructure targeting throughput of 1 GigaGas/s. The network is designed to scale proof generation for rollups and enable high-speed verification at Layer 1. It supports modular proof systems and developer integration.
EIP-7702 achieved a new all-time high with ~0.55% of Ethereum daily transactions. Adoption has grown 5x in two weeks, reflecting increasing use of its temporary smart wallet permissions. The proposal is focused on improving account abstraction UX.
Highlights from ACD Call #214 include:
Block gas limit raised to 45M
Fusaka Devnet-2 launches ~June 23
Final EIPs selected for Fusaka testnet, including secp256r1 and proto-danksharding support
These updates move Ethereum closer to the Fusaka mainnet hard fork.
New rollup and ZK-related developments include:
A Rollup-as-a-Service platform launched by Aligned Layer
A new post from Class Lambda analyzing Binius field-based cryptography
ZK system updates curated by @BJ_Dyakov
These tools are designed to improve zk-rollup accessibility and performance.
Ethereum researchers discussed new EIPs for long-term protocol evolution:
EIP-7919 (Pureth): Splits execution and consensus clients
6-second slots: Proposed to improve UX and transaction finality
FOCIL: Improves fork choice logic for light clients
These proposals are under consideration for future hard forks beyond Glamsterdam.
“People and companies that are Ethereum-aligned should make decisions that are in the best interest of Ethereum and oriented towards growing the value of ETH.
ETH is the most powerful collateral on the Ethereum platform because it represents Permissionless Economic Bandwidth. Nobody can stop you from using ETH as you wish on Ethereum, whereas your use of USDC, while often convenient, is always censorable by companies and governments.
Using USDC as collateral makes us all vulnerable to centralized entities that can halt its usage, so we should all prefer to use ETH as collateral in situations where that is acceptable rather than USDC. Companies that tell you the opposite are not very Ethereum-aligned.
I like stables for payments, but prefer ETH for collateral in many cases. And I hate stables as payment for block space or transaction fees.
So while I am excited about stablecoins becoming legal and massively more popular on Ethereum, we should consider them a stepping stone on the path to mainstream adoption of Ethereum, not an end goal.”

Additional highlights from Ethereum researchers include:
EIP-4844 infrastructure readiness (blob mempool futures)
IDONTWANT protocol messages to reduce duplicate traffic
Gas optimization and validator efficiency research
