According to CoinDesk, fund services giant Apex Group announced that it will tokenize Omnes Mining Note (OMN) on the Base platform, a Layer 2 network under Coinbase. OMN is an institutional-grade structured note backed by Bitcoin mining power, aimed at professional non-U.S. investors, providing economic exposure directly linked to new Bitcoin production without the operational burdens of mining infrastructure, hardware, energy, and compliance.Each OMN corresponds to a fixed 1 PH/s of mining power, with a term of 36 months, and ownership is recorded on-chain through the ERC-3643 standard, which may potentially be used as collateral for permissioned lending in the future.

Ethereum Foundation researcher ladislaus.eth posted on social media that Ethereum core developers plan to decide on March 26 whether to include EIP-8141 (Frame Transactions) in the Hegota upgrade.EIP-8141 decouples accounts from fixed signature schemes, providing a native migration path for post-quantum secure (PQ-secure) signature schemes. If post-quantum security is only implemented at the consensus layer (leanCL) while user transactions at the execution layer still rely on quantum-vulnerable ECDSA, it will constitute an incomplete migration.

Ethereum Foundation researcher ladislaus.eth disclosed that the Ethereum core developer meeting (AllCoreDevs) plans to make a decision this Thursday on whether to include EIP-8141 in the Hegota upgrade.The core of EIP-8141 is to decouple accounts from fixed signature schemes, providing a native path for migration to post-quantum secure signature schemes. ladislaus.eth pointed out that if the consensus layer (leanCL) already possesses post-quantum security, but user transactions on the execution layer still rely on ECDSA signatures that have quantum vulnerabilities, then the overall migration is not complete; both layers need to have post-quantum readiness.In addition, EIP-8141 will also support account abstraction as a native feature of the protocol and support programmable Gas payments (including payments with ERC-20 tokens and transaction sponsorship). Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin added that EIP-8141 will also provide better native support for privacy protocols and draw a comparison with the general programmability of the EVM—this proposal will introduce programmability into the verification phase, which previously only hardcoded ECDSA.

According to official news, the blockchain explorer Etherscan has officially launched the "Historical Proxy" tab feature, allowing users to view the complete upgrade history of proxy contracts, including past implementation contract addresses and upgrade transaction records. This feature supports the detection of upgrade events that comply with mainstream EIP standards.In addition, Etherscan has synchronized and optimized the verification process for proxy contracts, which now basically achieves automatic recognition. Users no longer need to manually click "Is this a proxy?" for confirmation in most cases, and only in edge cases is manual operation still required.

Vitalik posted on the X platform stating that Ethereum has been discussing account abstraction (AA) since early 2016. Now, EIP-8141 serves as a comprehensive proposal aimed at addressing all remaining issues related to AA. The core concept of this proposal is "frame transactions," where a transaction contains N calls that can read each other's call data and can authorize the sender and gas payer.This mechanism supports various use cases: ordinary account transactions (such as multi-signature, variable keys, quantum-resistant signature schemes) are completed through validating frames and executing frames; when paying gas fees with non-ETH tokens, it can be achieved through the main contract without any intermediaries.In terms of privacy protocols, ZK-SNARK verification or the addition of two-dimensional randomness can be implemented through payment contracts. Regarding security, on-chain transactions are only valid when the validating frame returns an ACCEPT with a gas payment flag, while the memory pool layer will initially adopt conservative rules, gradually expanding later.EIP-8141 is highly complementary to FOCIL, with FOCIL ensuring quick transaction inclusion and AA ensuring that complex operations can be executed as first-class transactions directly. The proposal is also discussing EOA compatibility, which is theoretically feasible. After more than a decade of research, these technologies are expected to be implemented within a year through the Hegota fork.

Vitalik Buterin posted on the X platform, stating that there is an important synergy between the FOCIL mechanism and the account abstraction proposal Ethereum's EIP-8141 (based on 7701). EIP-8141 elevates smart accounts (including multi-signature, quantum-resistant signatures, key changes, Gas sponsorship, etc.) to "first-class citizens," meaning that operations from these accounts can be directly packaged as on-chain transactions without additional encapsulation.At the same time, privacy protocols can achieve a multi-tenant account model through the paymaster or 2D nonce mechanism, thereby gaining the same level of native support. FOCIL provides a censorship-resistant fast transaction inclusion mechanism. With the combination of both, various transactions, including smart wallet transactions, Gas sponsorship transactions, and privacy protocol transactions, can be included in blocks by one of the 17 roles (proposers or inclusions) randomly selected for each time slot.Vitalik stated that this design can ensure that transactions are almost guaranteed to be completed on-chain within 1-2 time slots in adversarial environments. In the current version, each FOCIL volume is approximately 8kB, which is relatively small, but there is a path for future expansion that could support most transactions in a block entering through the FOCIL channel. This architecture is similar in characteristics to the multi-parallel proposer (MCP) design, but differs in that FOCIL does not control the "last look" related to MEV, which is still allocated through the ePBS auction mechanism.Vitalik emphasized that even if 100% of block time slots are monopolized by adversarial parties through the proposer-builder separation (PBS) mechanism, refusing to connect to the public mempool or discriminating against specific applications, FOCIL can still ensure that all transactions receive fast inclusion. Although this design does not eliminate the centralization risk of the proposer role, it significantly weakens its power. Under the EIP-8141 framework, transactions from smart wallets or privacy protocols can be directly received by FOCIL inclusions through the public mempool without additional intermediaries or encapsulation processes.Vitalik concluded that Ethereum is accelerating the advancement of core architecture upgrades.

The privacy computing project Zama Protocol announced that the public sale of ZAMA tokens will end on January 24 at 20:00 (UTC), and the token distribution date is February 2, with full unlocking upon distribution.

According to official news, Arbitrum has announced the activation of the ArbOS Dia upgrade. The officials stated that this is a significant update to its tech stack, introducing support for the Fusaka EIP and enhancing the overall user experience.

According to records from forkcast org, the 172nd Ethereum Consensus Layer Core Developer Conference (ACDC) mainly discussed: successful activation of BPO2, Blob Target increased to 14, Limit increased to 21; EIP-8070 (Sparse Blob Pool) confirmed to be included in Glamsterdam; the proposal process for the Hegota headline proposal has been opened.

Slow Mist posted on platform X that MistEye detected potential suspicious activities related to Fusion. The root cause is a vulnerability in the underlying contract commissioned by an EOA account controlled by the project team through EIP-7702, which allows arbitrary external calls, enabling attackers to create and configure malicious circuit breaker contracts for PlasmaVault, thereby extracting funds from the contract.

Regarding the community's discussion on "Ethereum still setting a contract size limit," Vitalik Buterin responded that it is due to DoS risk considerations.He stated that once Ethereum's state structure is upgraded to a unified binary tree (EIP-7864), it is expected to achieve unlimited contract size, but the Gas costs and mechanism design for deploying extremely large contracts still need to be addressed. Currently, based on the cost of creation per byte, the actual contract limit is approximately 82 KB.

According to Metaplanet Inc., the company announced the establishment of an American Depositary Receipt (ADR) program, with Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas as the depositary bank. The company's ADR trading is expected to take effect on December 19, 2025 (Eastern Time).According to the announcement, this move aims to enhance accessibility and transparency for global investors, meeting the demand from U.S. investors for more efficient and direct participation in the company's equity. The ADRs will be priced in U.S. dollars and traded through U.S. securities trading infrastructure, reducing transaction costs and improving settlement efficiency.Project details indicate that the ADR will have a 1:1 ratio with common stock, a CUSIP number of 59141L 109, and a trading symbol of MPJPY, which will be traded on the U.S. over-the-counter market.The company emphasized that this ADR program is not for financing purposes and will not affect the total number of common or preferred shares issued.

Recently, Ms. Yu and her husband transferred 250 yuan in pocket money to each other through China Construction Bank, with the note "This week's Dogecoin," which led to an investigation by the bank and the locking of their accounts. The couple received calls from bank staff to verify their relationship and the reason for the transfer note, stating that the note triggered "virtual currency control," and their accounts would be set to a "no deposit, no withdrawal" status.The staff at the bank where Ms. Yu opened her account informed her that to unlock the account, she needed to submit her husband's bank statement for the past few months. After approval, she would then need to write a commitment letter, promising that the previous transactions were not related to virtual currency and that they would not participate in virtual currency transactions in the future. However, her husband strongly opposed the direct restriction on account usage and was negotiating with the staff at his bank. In response, China News Weekly called the China Construction Bank customer service for consultation, and the staff stated that they had not received any information regarding virtual currency control and suggested consulting the relevant branch for specific details.Subsequently, China News Weekly inquired at the branch of China Construction Bank in Tianjin where Ms. Yu opened her account, and the staff claimed they were unaware of the situation. Meanwhile, the staff at her husband's branch in Dalian stated that if the account involved virtual currency transactions, the bank would impose "no deposit, no withdrawal" control on the account. If the transfer note specified "Dogecoin," they would need to provide materials to prove that the note was unrelated to virtual currency. However, the issue lies in how to prove this; if only the bank statement is available, it cannot serve as valid proof. Therefore, such controlled accounts cannot be unlocked and can only be canceled.As for the specific regulations, the other party did not provide a clear response. Currently, Ms. Yu has submitted her husband's bank statement and a handwritten commitment letter and is applying to lift the account restrictions. Meanwhile, her husband's bank staff responded that after submitting their marriage certificate, they could apply to lift the restrictions. According to Xinhua News Agency, the China Internet Finance Association and six other associations jointly issued a risk warning, requiring all member units not to participate in virtual currency, real-world asset token issuance, and trading activities within the country, and reminding the public to discern risks and stay away from illegal activities.

The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission reminds the public to be cautious of suspicious investment products named "Goldpay Token (GPT)" and "Gold Receipt (GR)." These Hong Kong products involve digital tokens linked to physical gold and have not been approved by the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission for public sale.

ChainCatcher message, the Ethereum Foundation stated in an official blog post that with the upcoming Fusaka hard fork, EIP-7825 introduces a cap on the GAS fee for each transaction, set at 2 to the power of 24 (≈ 16.78 million gas). This change has been deployed on the Holesky and Sepolia testnets and will be activated on the mainnet during the Fusaka hard fork.Developers and users relying on large transactions should verify that their contracts and transaction building tools comply with the new cap requirements.
