Odaily reports that Ethereum has released its monthly ecosystem summary, with multiple launches and upgrades covering areas such as L2 scaling, privacy payments, institutional finance, developer tools, and governance infrastructure: 1. In terms of scaling and infrastructure, Ronin Network completed its migration to Ethereum L2; Arbitrum Foundation announced that the LG Electronics blockchain team is piloting on-chain advertising on its network; Base launched its first independent upgrade "Azul," reportedly boosting performance to around 5,000 TPS and introducing several execution and consensus improvements. 2. In the payment and finance sector, Mastercard expanded stablecoin settlement support, covering assets such as USDC and PYUSD, and enabling settlement on both Ethereum mainnet and L2 networks; Cash App launched USDC functionality, allowing nearly 60 million users to send and receive on-chain directly; JPMorgan Chase launched its second tokenized money market fund on Ethereum. 3. In privacy and security, the Clear Signing standard was officially launched to address the "blind signature" issue; SEAL 911 and Wonderland jointly introduced the DARC risk and compliance standard. 4. On the development and tools side, Hardhat 3 was released as a stable version, supporting Solidity testing and multi-chain development; the ENS ecosystem launched ENS8004, transforming domain names into verifiable on-chain AI agents. 5. Multiple experimental and ecosystem projects are advancing simultaneously, including the LIFI Intents execution framework and Aragon's on-chain governance materialization.

"I don't know how long this statement will hold; information changes sides too quickly. Last time, they announced the opening for less than 24 hours." He was referring to late April this year, when there was also news proclaiming the reopening of the Hormuz Strait, but in less than 24 hours, the information changed.

Jinse Finance reported that a controversy has erupted within the Hyperliquid community regarding the positioning of HyperEVM. The community believes that HyperEVM was not designed as a general-purpose Ethereum execution environment but is instead a specialized execution layer intended for compositional interaction with Hypercore. Its core design should rely on corewriter and precompiled contracts, rather than being used as a general-purpose L1. However, the current learning curve for developers is quite steep, and the complexity of system address interactions results in cross-asset operations requiring multiple transactions, leading to inefficiency; in most cases, asset swaps are not even as efficient as AMM mechanisms. In addition, HyperEVM has long suffered from being “overlooked,” possibly because the team’s resources have been concentrated on core products such as HIP-3, HIP-4, and portfolio margin, leading to insufficient investment in ecosystem development. According to the community, to increase activity in the HyperEVM ecosystem, it is necessary to improve developer tools, optimize the corewriter mechanism, and incentivize more on-chain experimental applications in the style of DeFi Summer; otherwise, innovation in smart contracts may continue to stagnate.
