Aave Labs has proposed a two-part licensing framework for V4 repositories: a business source license and a contributor licensing agreement. The first would restrict commercial use of all core repositories for some time, while the second would allow the Aave DAO to use and modify code from contributors. Aave Labs has introduced a new proposal for a two-part licensing framework for V4 repositories that would expand community contributions and provide more clarity around the use of the repositories. The Labs published a TEMP CHECK detailing the new proposal. It suggests two frameworks: a Business Source License (BUSL) for the core…
Ethereum Has Handled Trillions, But SUI Co-Founder Says It Was Never Built for What Crypto Actually Needs
Sui co-founder Evan Cheng has a simple argument. Whether crypto is ready to hear it is another matter. He has seen these systems from the inside. So when he says Ethereum and Solana are built on a flawed foundation, it lands differently than the usual founder noise. It All Starts With a Spreadsheet His argument begins somewhere disarmingly simple. Ethereum, at its core, is a ledger, a giant digital spreadsheet. Address A has 10 USDC. Address B has five. Money moves, numbers change. That is genuinely all it is. For shifting identical tokens between wallets, it works fine. It has…
The seemingly daily disruption of business models by advances in artificial intelligence continued Monday, sending stock market averages and crypto prices sharply lower. Today’s victim (in addition to the usual ones) was IBM, after Anthropic said Claude code can automate COBOL modernization. “COBOL [Common Business-Oriented Language] is everywhere,” said Anthropic. “It handles an estimated 95% of ATM transactions in the U.S.. Hundreds of billions of lines of COBOL run in production every day, powering critical systems in finance, airlines, and government.” “The developers who built these systems retired years ago, and the institutional knowledge they carried left with them,” the…

MetaMask has integrated the Uniswap API as a core swap provider, routing in-wallet trades through Uniswap v2, v3, v4, and UniswapX across 16+ networks for deeper, CEX-like liquidity. Summary MetaMask now routes swaps through the Uniswap API, tapping v2, v3, v4, and UniswapX liquidity across more than 16 networks directly from the wallet UI.

With Uniswap’s protocol volume surpassing 40 trillion dollars, the link positions MetaMask as default EVM wallet and Uniswap as default DEX backend,…
The recent Cumberland Ethereum purchase underscores institutional trading that is going on in the Ethereum marketplace. Lookonchain followed a withdrawal of 14,800 $ETH in Coinbase. The data of Arkham Intelligence proves that this address interacts with wallets associated with the firm very often. Consequently, analysts are of the view that the $ETH probably shifted to institutional custody and not trade holding. In the last day (24 hours), Cumberland allegedly transferred 46,620 $ETH, estimated value of about 98.8 million, through exchanges. Due to these recurrent transactions, the company seems to be becoming more exposed to Ethereum. During the time of price…
Kraken’s co-CEO could trust AI with 100% of his crypto — Dragonfly’s Haseeb Qureshi isn’t convinced
San Francisco, CA – Crypto has a habit of declaring the future early. In recent months, that instinct has fixated on autonomous AI agents, self-driving wallets and trading systems that can move capital without human oversight. At NEARCON 2026, Dragonfly’s Haseeb Qureshi and Kraken co-CEO Arjun Sethi delivered a sharp debate over how soon those agents can be trusted with real money. The core disagreement wasn’t about whether agents will eventually manage capital; both believe they will, but about timing and risk tolerance. “Something that works with money 90% of the time is unusable for actual economic activity,” Qureshi said.…
