In June 2024, Ethereum core developers and technical teams from the Layer 2 and ZK ecosystems gathered in Berlin for five days of deep collaboration. This event, known as Berlinterop, was more than just an engineering workshop — it showcased three clear technical trajectories Ethereum is pursuing for 2025: accelerated execution layer upgrades, a redefined mechanism for L1–L2 collaboration, and the standardization of the zero-knowledge (ZK) stack. Berlinterop continues the tradition of “intero...

As Ethereum moves into a new phase of modularity and multi-chain coexistence, Layer2s are no longer just scaling tools — they are now essential infrastructure in the multi-chain world. One clear trend is accelerating: interoperability is becoming the central consensus for reshaping user experience and protocol collaboration in the Layer2 era. It’s not just about technical integrations — it’s about a fundamental shift in the user experience paradigm — from multi-chain coexistence to seamless u...

We’re thrilled to announce the official launch of Mint Forest V3! Following the successful debut of Mint Forest in March last year, this marks a major evolution in our journey. As a key milestone in the development of the Mint ecosystem, Mint Forest V3 takes you beyond the growth of a single tree into the exploration of an entire forest, offering a more immersive and engaging Web3 interaction platform. In Mint Forest V3, you’ll unlock brand-new features, uncover the magical world of Mint Fore...

Dear Minters, One year ago today, Mint Blockchain launched its developer mainnet — a bold step toward building the foundational NFT infra blockchain for the decentralized future. From vision to reality, the past year has marked a foundational phase of rapid progress for Mint Blockchain. We’ve witnessed the rise of a global Mint community, flourishing on-chain activity, and a wide range of decentralized applications built by developers from across the world. Together, we’ve seen the emergence ...

In June 2025, the Optimism Collective officially launched Season 8 (S8) of its governance framework. More than just an optimization of existing rules, this marks a systemic upgrade rooted in three years of on-chain governance experimentation. At its core, S8 aims to introduce a new stakeholder model, a standardized citizenship system, and low-overhead participation mechanisms to support a more collaborative and resilient interchain governance structure. As the Superchain architecture takes sh...

Since the breakout of “crypto art” in 2021, NFTs (non-fungible tokens), as unique digital assets on the blockchain, have rapidly swept across global markets. In just four years, more than 2 billion NFTs have been issued across major blockchain networks, with a global market capitalization reaching hundreds of billions of dollars. However, the narrative surrounding NFTs is quietly changing—NFTs are evolving from mere digital collectibles into functional core assets with real-world applications...

We are thrilled to announce the strategic partnership between Mint Blockchain and Chainlink, the industry-leading decentralized oracle network. Through this collaboration, Mint has officially integrated Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), becoming one of the Layer2 networks adopting this cutting-edge cross-chain communication standard. This integration enables smart contracts in the Mint ecosystem to securely access reliable off-chain data and interact with other blockch...

Since the rise of Rollup technology, the Layer2 narrative has long revolved around scalability and cost reduction. However, as the Ethereum ecosystem expands rapidly, expectations for Layer2s are quietly evolving. In the age of Ethereum scaling, the Layer2 narrative is shifting from pure scaling to application-specific use cases. No longer satisfied with generic utility, more and more Layer2 projects are now focusing on vertical application scenarios—developing ecosystems tailored to industry...

As Ethereum enters a new era of modularity and multi-chain interoperability, the OP Superchain is emerging as a model for next-generation blockchain network architecture. In a multi-chain Superchain ecosystem, a key challenge is how to incentivize users, developers, and protocols to collaborate and participate meaningfully. In April 2025, the Optimism Foundation officially launched SuperStacks — an experimental pilot points system designed to explore how on-chain behavior data can power susta...

In the rapidly evolving blockchain ecosystem, asset interoperability has long been a critical challenge in addressing cross-chain communication within a multi-chain world. To tackle this, the SuperchainERC20 standard has emerged, offering a simplified and trust-minimized approach that enables seamless ERC-20 token flow across the Superchain ecosystem. As the OP Superchain ecosystem takes shape, the interoperability issues between different Layer 2 (L2) networks have become increasingly appare...

We are thrilled to announce a strategic partnership between Mint Blockchain and DAOBase, a collaboration aimed at advancing decentralized governance, enhancing treasury transparency, and delivering exclusive rewards to our community. This alliance marks a significant milestone in our mission to empower decentralized ecosystems and create value for our users.A Shared Vision for DAO Excellence1. DAO Governance and Treasury Auditing Mint Blockchain and DAOBase will collaborate to streamline DAO ...

We’re excited to officially launch Mint Studio — a fast, intuitive, and multi-chain platform designed to simplify NFT creation for everyone. Whether you're an individual, a Web3 project, or an artist, Mint Studio makes it easier than ever to mint, distribute, and connect value through NFTs. NFT issuance should be the first step of creative expression — not the last. With Mint Studio, we’re breaking down the barriers that have long held creators and users back, making NFT minting simple, ...
