  • Solana Labs spinout Anza proposes Alpenglow, 'the biggest change to Solana’s core protocol' Anza, the developer studio spun out of Solana Labs, has unveiled what it calls “the biggest change to Solana’s core protocol” ever. According to an announcement, the high-throughput Layer 1 is getting a completely redesigned undercarriage called Alpenglow. “We believe that the release of Alpenglow will be a turning point for Solana. Alpenglow is not only a new consensus protocol, but the biggest change to Solana’s core protocol since, well, ever,” Anza’s Quentin Kniep, Kobi Sliwinski, and Roger Wattenhofer wrote in a white paper published on Monday. The upgrade replaces Solana’s existing TowerBFT proof-of-stake consensus mechanism and proof-of-history timestamping system with new components called Votor and Rotor. Votor — short for “Voting Component” — will handle consensus logic and replace TowerBFT. Rather than relying on the current node “gossip” model, it will run a “faster direct communication primitive” to vote on block finalization. Nodes vote to either notarize a block or skip it if it arrives late or is deemed untrustworthy. A block can be notarized in one round if 80% of stake approve it, or in two rounds if 60% approve, using parallel voting tracks for faster and more scalable processing. Anza claims this could bring block processing times down to 100–150 milliseconds. "I got nearly everything wrong about consensus, except the important parts: it can’t be in the way of block producers utilizing 100% of the bandwidth 100% of the time. users need some deterministic finality in one round (2-delta)," Solana founder Anatoly Yakovenko wrote on X. "Alpenglow nails both of these requirements with a simple and elegant design that’s really easy to intuit." Rotor, the second component, refines Solana’s existing block propagation protocol. It builds on Turbine — the current system that shreds blocks into smaller pieces and distributes them across the network — by using a single layer of relay nodes and optimizing bandwidth usage based on stake. Like Turbine, Rotor uses "erasure-coding" to ensure the block can be reconstructed from a subset of these shreds. Anza is also the team maintaining Solana’s Agave client, the network's original validator software.
  • Vitalik Buterin suggests implementing ‘partially stateless nodes’ to help scale Ethereum Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin proposed a new roadmap on Monday to solve issues linked with scaling Ethereum Layer-1 through higher gas limits, including a new concept called "partially stateless nodes." "The most common criticism of increasing the L1 gas limit, beyond concerns about network safety, is that it makes it harder to run a full node," Buterin wrote in his recent post. Running a full node is valuable as it offers a "trustless, censorship-resistant and privacy-friendly way" for users in accessing the chain, the Ethereum co-founder added. To scale the L1 gas limit without sacrificing running full nodes, Buterin proposed short-term priorities, which include implementing EIP-4444 that limits nodes to contain only up to 36 days of historical data, reducing disk space for other participants. Running a full Ethereum node requires storing the entire blockchain state (~1TB for state, ~500GB for history). EIP-4444 would offload historical data storage, making nodes lighter. Other short-term proposals by Buterin were building a distributed history data storage solution and adjusting gas pricing to make storage more expensive and execution less expensive. Buterin's roadmap highlighted "stateless verification" as a medium-term change, which could allow nodes to interact with the blockchain without maintaining Merkle branches, which are used to verify data integrity. This could cut storage needs by roughly 50%, making nodes significantly lighter, Buterin said. In his latest proposal, the Ethereum co-founder unveiled a new concept called "partially stateless nodes." Buterin said these have the potential to increase the L1 gas limit by 10 to 100 times. According to Buterin, these nodes verify blocks and the entire chain without storing all the data by utilizing stateless verification or zkEVM. They will be programmed to store a selected subset of data instead of a full set, and are still able to perform requests pertaining to data in the selected portion.
  • Hong Kong police arrest 12 suspected of laundering $15 million through crypto exchange shops Hong Kong police said a raid targeting a cross-border money laundering syndicated culminated in 12 arrests, dismantling a ring responsible for laundering HK$118 million ($15 million USD) through banks and crypto exchange shops. The police's commercial crime bureau arrested two local key members of the syndicate and ten mainland Chinese operatives, nine men and three women between the ages of 20 and 42, the police told local media. The local operatives had recruited the mainland citizens to open shell accounts in both traditional and digital banks in Hong Kong. "These people were also arranged to use other bank cards to withdraw cash and then transport the funds to some virtual asset exchange stores to convert them into cryptocurrency as a means of laundering money," police superintendent Shirley Kwok Ching-yee said. As many as 500 stooge accounts were set up. A portion of the funds, around $1.3 million, was linked to the proceeds of 58 scam operations. Hong Kong has seen a nearly 12% year-over-year increase in fraud cases, the police said, with more than 10,000 people arrested in connection to fraud operations. Hong Kong, which is seeking to accelerate digital asset development, is also cracking down harder on money laundering and fraud, the police said
  • Binance, Kraken successfully thwart phishing attacks similar to Coinbase hack: Bloomberg Crypto exchanges Binance and Kraken were also reportedly targeted in the same style of phishing attacks that Coinbase disclosed on Thursday, according to a Bloomberg report. Neither Binance nor Kraken reported any loss of customer data, with internal safeguards helping thwart the attempts, the report said. On Thursday, Coinbase disclosed in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing that cybercriminals had bribed offshore customer service representatives to gain access to user data and account management records. The security incident is estimated to cost Coinbase as much as $400 million in remediation expenses and voluntary customer reimbursements. The exchange also offered a $20 million bounty for information leading to the conviction of the blackmailers. It is unclear if the same scammers who struck Coinbase were the ones who attempted to bribe Binance and Kraken’s customer service agents. Bloomberg reported that the attackers attempted to lure the exchanges’ representatives on Telegram, requesting sensitive customer data like account balances and home addresses. Both exchanges’ AI security systems identified the attack vector and blocked the phishing attempts. Coinbase noted that customer passwords, private keys, and funds were not directly exposed.
  • Cobie joins crypto investment firm Paradigm as advisor Jordan Fish, the popular crypto trader better known as Cobie, has joined crypto investment firm Paradigm as an advisor. "He’s always been one of my favorite people in crypto to chat with, so excited to make it official," Paradigm cofounder Matt Huang said Friday in a post on X. "Someday we can convince him to restart UpOnly." Cobie is the founder of Echo, a platform that allows retail investors and crypto community members access to early-stage funding rounds on similar terms to those offered to venture capitalists. It has been used for raises for projects such as MegaETH, Initia, Ethena, and Fogo, The Block previously reported. "We just want to make stuff so that people can fund decentralised projects without selling most of it to one or two entities," Cobie told The Block in February. "Fundraising happens at various stages of a projects lifecycle and we currently only cover the really early stages. There isn’t [in my opinion] a very good way to do a launch sale today." Onchain sleuth ZachXBT joined the firm in February as an incident response advisor. White hat crypto hacker "samczsun" previously joined Paradigm Fund in 2020 as a research partner. "About ten seconds ago, @paradigm have opened an Echo group, which I am pretty pleased about, and I have simultaneously agreed to advise Paradigm -- mostly helping with their public market/liquid fund," Cobie said Friday in a post on X. "I didn't even know Paradigm had a public market fund until yesterday. Will spend some time figuring out which coin I should try to make Matt topblast first." The research-driven Paradigm recently led a $50 million Series A round for decentralized AI project Nous Research.
  • Ethereum stablecoin volume hits record $908 billion as institutions, tech giants, and Trump jump in Ethereum filtered onchain volume of stablecoins reached a new all-time high in April, hitting $908 billion. This milestone comes amid growing institutional adoption and several high-profile developments that have thrust stablecoins into the spotlight once more. USDC has shown particularly strong growth on Ethereum, with volume trending upward over the past six months and exceeding $500 billion in transactions. Other stablecoins gaining significant volume include DAI and Sky's USDS, reflecting a diversifying stablecoin landscape. Traditional companies continue to embrace stablecoins at an accelerating pace. During the week of May 4, Meta announced plans to explore stablecoin integrations to reduce transaction costs, while Stripe unveiled new stablecoin offerings to enhance its payment infrastructure. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump's World Liberty Financial project has seen its stablecoin, USD1, mint nearly $2 billion worth of tokens. This rapid growth has positioned USD1 as the seventh-largest stablecoin by market capitalization despite its relative newness. Fortune 100 companies are increasingly exploring stablecoins for cross-border payments and other product offerings, lending additional legitimacy to the sector. As more companies aim to issue their own stablecoins or adopt existing ones, competition for volume is likely to intensify. This competitive landscape could lead to decreased fees as issuers vie for market share, potentially benefiting end users while challenging profitability for stablecoin providers. The surge in stablecoin activity on Ethereum underscores the network's continued dominance as the preferred blockchain for dollar-denominated digital assets, despite challenges from alternative chains and Layer 2 solutions. While other chains have seen stablecoin usage grow, Ethereum remains the preferred venue for transacting stables. This is an excerpt from The Block's Data & Insights newsletter. Dig into the numbers making up the industry's most thought-provoking trends.
  • MetaMask co-founder Dan Finlay says token is still a 'maybe' MetaMask co-founder Dan Finlay said the most popular Ethereum wallet is still considering a token launch. “Maybe,” Finlay said with a smirk when asked about the possibility of creating a native MetaMask token in an interview (about 42:00 minutes in) on The Block’s “Crypto Beat” podcast. “If we ever do it, it'll be advertised directly in the wallet. You'll be able to find a link directly in the wallet,” Finlay told the head of growth (HOG) at The Block, Tim Copeland, on Wednesday. While there doesn’t appear to be any concrete plans for a MetaMask token, Finlay noted that the changing regulatory regime, under a more permissive Trump administration, “there is safety for far more kinds of token launches.” “Hopefully people take this opportunity to push the boundaries and establish precedence for things that we can all be doing,” Finlay added. “Maybe that will unlock the next fun season.” MetaMask discussed plans to launch a token, tentatively named MASK, going back to at least 2021. During a developer community call, for instance, MetaMask engineer Erik Marks floated the idea of community ownership of the wallet through a token launch, which was bolstered by ConsenSys CEO Joseph Lubin tweeting a “Wen $MASK?” teaser later that year. In 2022, Lubin further explained MetaMask’s intent to launch a token and DAO as part of a plan to drive “progressive decentralization” of Consensys verticals. The DAO was described as a funding mechanism, not a governance body, and the token was explicitly not intended as a “cash grab,” including measures to prevent exploitation by airdrop farmers. “My understanding is that securities law is still securities law,” Finlay said, referring to the idea promulgated by former Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler that most token launches resembled securities offerings. He added that many projects could still be operating in “gray waters” despite recent regulatory advancements. Finlay, like many responsible crypto brands, appears to be particularly concerned about the possibility of scammers scamming a potential MASK token. “Speculation is almost the worst part of it because it gives fishers an opportunity to prey on users,” Finlay said. “You will not have to find some account on social media that you've never heard of giving you a link. It won't be a text message. We don't have your phone number. It won't be an email. We don't have your email address. It will be in the wallet. It'll be on our main website.” MetaMask is the largest crypto wallet, with an estimated 30 million monthly active users as of 2024. The project, under the umbrella of the Ethereum development company Consensys, employs approximately 500 workers, according to Finlay. Over the past year, MetaMask has been rolling out several UX improvements in an attempt to keep up with increasing competition from the likes of Rainbow and Rabby, Finlay said. “We’re competing in a permissionless space,” he said, noting the team realized “there would be very rapid, hot competition.”
  • CFTC Commissioner Mersinger exits to lead Blockchain Association as CEO Commodity Futures Trading Commission member Summer Mersinger is stepping down to become CEO of the Blockchain Association, the crypto industry’s primary lobbying group in Washington. The Blockchain Association announced Wednesday that she will become CEO on June 2, with her last day at the CFTC being May 30. Mersinger is expected to resign from the CFTC on Wednesday. “We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Commissioner Mersinger as Blockchain Association’s new CEO,” said Marta Belcher, president of the board of the Blockchain Association, in a statement. “This is a pivotal moment for crypto policy, and we are confident that she is the ideal leader to take Blockchain Association, and the industry, to new heights.” Mersinger was nominated by former President Joe Biden to fill a Republican seat at the CFTC and was sworn in in March 2022. During her time at the agency, Mersinger spoke about cryptocurrency's popularity and said it was no longer a fad following interest from traditional finance. She also encouraged the CFTC and the Securities and Exchange Commission to work together in 2023 to create a regulatory framework for digital assets. Democratic CFTC Commissioner Christy Goldsmith Romero previously said she planned to step down after Trump-pick Brian Quintenz is confirmed to lead the agency. Following his confirmation and both commissioners' departures, that leaves now acting CFTC Republican Chair Caroline Pham and Democratic Commissioner Kristin Johnson at the CFTC. Mersinger's incoming leadership at the Blockchain Association comes as lawmakers in Washington are working to pass bills to regulate stablecoins and another to regulate the crypto industry at large. Both have hit snags along the way as criticism mounts over Trump's involvement in digital assets through companies, his memecoin, and pricey galas. Before going to the CFTC, Mersinger held senior roles in both the Senate and the House and was also an advisor to current Senate Majority Leader John Thune, the Blockchain Association said. Thune sharply criticized Democrats on Tuesday for stalling a stablecoin bill last week. Blockchain Association CEO Kristin Smith will leave the group on May 19 to become president of the newly created Solana Policy Institute.
  • SEC seeks feedback for in-kind redemptions on BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF, delays Solana and Dogecoin proposals The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has pushed back its deadline for whether to allow in-kind redemptions for BlackRock's bitcoin exchange-traded fund. The SEC is now asking for public comments on that proposal, according to a filing made on Tuesday. Nasdaq posted an amended rule filing in January that would allow for redemptions and creations in kind for the iShares Bitcoin Trust. "The Commission is instituting proceedings pursuant to Section 19(b)(2)(B) of the Act9 to determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or disapproved. Institution of proceedings is appropriate at this time in view of the legal and policy issues raised by the proposed rule change," the agency said on Tuesday. The SEC allowed BlackRock's bitcoin ETF, along with others, to begin trading in January 2024. Ahead of that approval, firms were hashing out technical details over how the redemption process would work for such a product. The SEC favored a cash model that required BlackRock to move bitcoin out of storage, sell it right away, and then give the cash back to the investor. If approved, ETFs could trade more efficiently, Bloomberg Intelligence ETF analyst James Seyffart said earlier this year in a post on X. The SEC is also weighing dozens of proposals for new crypto ETFs. On Tuesday, the agency also delayed proposals for the Grayscale Litecoin Trust and the Grayscale Solana Trust, and asked for public comments. The agency also asked for public comments for the 21Shares Dogecoin ETF on Tuesday. The agency is likely to take an overall friendlier approach to crypto ETFs than in the prior administration. Since President Donald Trump took office in January, the SEC has dropped several lawsuits against crypto firms and has held public crypto roundtables to discuss how to regulate the industry. New SEC Chair Paul Atkins unveiled his vision for crypto regulation on Monday at a crypto roundtable, while criticizing the agency's previous approach.
