$TON, a blockchain for everyday apps, has joined Fireblocks, an infrastructure provider for digital assets, and Dynamic, a built-in wallet infrastructure firm. The partnership marks a key milestone, benefiting builders developing inside Telegram, $TON’s native social media platform. As Ton revealed in its official press release, the development removes the requirement for teams when deploying wallet contracts, stitching together diverse vendors for compliance and custody, or managing upgrades. Rather, builders can now depend on an inclusive stack to automatically create wallets, streamlining the procedure of payment app launches. 🚨 @dynamic_xyz and @FireblocksHQ just launched native embedded wallet support for $TON.Developers…

The Ethereum ($ETH) ecosystem took aim at one of its biggest structural weaknesses at EthCC 2026, as Gnosis, Zisk and the Ethereum Foundation publicly launched the Ethereum Economic Zone (EEZ), a rollup framework designed to knit together an increasingly fractured layer‑2 landscape. Revealed on March 29 at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes, the initiative seeks to make dozens of Ethereum L2s behave “like one unified system,” in the words of project backers, by restoring synchronous composability between rollups and Ethereum mainnet while keeping security anchored to the base chain. Ethereum Economic Zone launches More than 20 operational Ethereum L2s…

Macroeconomist Adam Kobeissi stated that the risks facing the Fed are increasing, and that the current economic outlook resembles “the Fed’s worst nightmare.” According to Kobeissi, one of the most significant limitations of the Fed is that it can only control inflation from the demand side, and cannot directly intervene in supply-side shocks. The analyst noted that the sharp rise in energy prices, in particular, has created supply-driven inflationary pressure, and that in such situations, the Fed is forced to take more aggressive steps to suppress demand. Recalling that the opposite happened during the 2020 pandemic, Kobeissi stated that interest…

In a move that could fundamentally reshape Ethereum’s economic landscape, the Ethereum Foundation has unveiled a groundbreaking proposal to capture and burn all Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) revenue. This Ethereum MEV burn mechanism, dubbed “Execution Tickets,” represents a pivotal shift in how the network manages value extraction during block production. Reported initially by Foresight News, the proposal aims to transfer MEV profits from validators to the protocol itself for permanent removal from circulation. Consequently, this initiative forms a core component of ‘The Scourge,’ a dedicated phase within Ethereum’s ongoing roadmap targeting systemic centralization risks. The potential implications for $ETH’s supply,…

Don’t be fooled by the prolonged crypto bear market, the industry remains a sound investment and less at risk from replacement by AI than traditional software as a service (SaaS) operations, according to Ravi Tanuku, CEO of KRAKacquisition Corp. (KRAKU), a blank check company backed by U.S. crypto exchange Kraken. The company, a Nasdaq-listed special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) sponsored by Kraken with venture firms Natural Capital and Tribe Capital, closed its $345 million IPO in January, and is now ready to explore deals with crypto-native firms valued between $2 billion and $10 billion, Tanuku said in an interview. This…

For over a year now, the White House has made strong efforts to court the crypto industry, rolling out permissive regulations that have turbocharged the sector’s integration with the U.S. economy. But there’s one issue that still keeps some crypto industry leaders up at night, despite the Donald Trump administration’s many promises on the subject: protections for software developers. Last year, the Trump Justice Department made multiple commitments to stop prosecuting the developers of crypto privacy software—the types of tools used to keep crypto transactions anonymous. And yet, months later, federal prosecutors sent two Bitcoin developers to prison for creating…

World Liberty Financial ($WLFI) has released AgentPay SDK v0.2.1, an update that extends its open-source AI agent payment toolkit to support x402 and MPP (Machine Payment Protocol) HTTP payment flows, while also expanding EIP-3009 signing support and adding Tempo mainnet compatibility. What Is AgentPay SDK? Think of AgentPay SDK as a wallet and payment system built specifically for AI agents, not humans. When an AI agent is running a task, it often needs to pay for things along the way: pulling data from a paid API, accessing a service, or completing a machine-to-machine transaction. Without a purpose-built payment layer, that…

Gnosis’ push behind the Ethereum Economic Zone shows DAOs moving from tuning parameters to voting on whether whole chains become Ethereum L2s, tying governance to market structure. The Ethereum Economic Zone did not appear out of thin air at EthCC 2026; it is the visible tip of a governance process inside Gnosis that has been wrestling with a single strategic question for months: should a long‑running sidechain effectively become a native Ethereum layer‑2. GnosisDAO governance records from February 2026 show community discussions around a six‑month R&D collaboration with zero‑knowledge engineer Jordi Baylina to explore “converting Gnosis Chain (GNO) into a…
