L'Ethereum Foundation a lancé Platåberget, un testnet public dédié à la mise à niveau Glamsterdam. Ce réseau, opérationnel depuis le 13 août, testera l'ePBS et l'exécution parallèle des transactions avant un hard fork programmé le 20 août 2026.

Security researchers flagged a drain of hundreds of dormant Ethereum wallets in late April, with over 260 ETH (~$600K) stolen from wallets idle for 4-8 years. The incident occurred alongside Wasabi Protocol's $4.5-5.5M exploit, Drift's $285M breach, and KelpDAO's $292M rsETH bridge hack, bringing April's DeFi losses to over $625M. The common thread across these incidents: concentrated admin authority, weak signer workflows, single-verifier bridge paths, and unresolved wallet key exposure. Security experts urge users to migrate old funds to fresh key material and for protocols to implement timelocks, multi-sig thresholds, and independent verification.
Aptos Labs has launched Confidential APT, a privacy coin using zero-knowledge proofs to conceal token balances and transfer amounts while maintaining transaction verification. The near-unanimous governance vote-approved feature addresses wallet profiling, targeted scams, and exposes salary and business strategy information on-chain, while allowing auditor keys for KYC/AML compliance via governance approval.

Aave's risk management provider LlamaRisk outlined two scenarios for how the $293M Kelp DAO exploit could impact the DeFi ecosystem. Scenario one spreads losses across all rsETH holders resulting in $123.7M bad debt with 15% depeg risk. Scenario two shifts losses to L2 networks creating $230.1M bad debt. Nearly $10B has exited Aave since the Saturday exploit, while Aave's $181M treasury could help cover losses.
