According to Visa's official website, Visa and Artemis jointly released a report that deeply analyzes the current status and trends of AI agent payments based on real-time on-chain data. The report indicates that AI agent payments are divided into two categories: one is "macro commerce" where agents replace users to complete tasks like booking tickets and subscriptions, similar to traditional e-commerce payments; the other is "micro commerce" such as high-frequency, low-value API calls between software, where single transaction amounts are typically less than 1 cent. On-chain data shows that the open protocol x402, incubated by Coinbase and Cloudflare and now hosted by the Linux Foundation, has processed approximately 109 million transactions since launching in May 2025, with an adjusted transaction volume of about $15 million, mainly active on the Base, Solana, and Polygon chains; the Machine Payment Protocol (MPP), jointly built by Stripe and Tempo with Visa's contribution, launched in mid-March 2026 and completed approximately 115,000 transactions within weeks, with a settlement amount of about $25,000. The report notes that blockchain settlement costs have dropped to extremely low levels, making small payments in the 1-cent to 1-dollar range economically feasible for the first time, but agent payments still face significant challenges at the legal and regulatory level regarding trust, liability attribution, and dispute resolution. Visa stated that its goal is to build a unified foundation that simultaneously supports card-native trust authorization and machine-native settlement
Quickswap has adopted Orbs Perpetual Hub Ultra 2.0 following a community governance vote, making it the default infrastructure for perpetual contract trading across all supported chains, with 81.8% of QUICK token holders supporting the migration. This vote replaces Quickswap's previous Falkor deployment on Polygon PoS, which was supported by Orderly, and expands its Orbs perpetual contract platform launched on Base at the end of 2025. Orbs disclosed that its decentralized Layer 3 network currently has over 1.12 billion ORBS staked.
Base founder Jesse Pollak published a review of the past two years of development, acknowledging that his previous bet on on-chain native social was a mistake. He stated that social directions like Farcaster, Zora, Miniapps, and creator coins have failed to become the core drivers of crypto adoption, and as a result, Base has fallen behind some competitors in areas such as perpetual contracts, prediction markets, tokenization, and payments.Pollak stated that going forward, Base will position itself as the "blockchain for global finance," focusing on three key directions in 2026: trading, payments, and AI agents. Specifically, trading will cover tokenized stocks, Meme coins, and application tokens; payments will revolve around global stablecoins for individuals and businesses; and AI agents will leverage cryptocurrency as the native money for computers, serving participants in the future large-scale machine economy.Furthermore, the Base application will be handed back to the Coinbase team, with Cobie taking over to drive it forward, and it may expand beyond the Base ecosystem. Pollak also stated that Base will continue to support developers through Base Layer, Base Batches, the ecosystem fund, and Coinbase distribution resources.
Aave has announced the selection of Chainlink CCIP as its cross-chain infrastructure standard.

Odaily Reports, qinbafrank posted on the X platform stating that KorProtocol announced the completion of a $7.5 million Series A funding round, co-led by 1kx and Blockchain Capital, at a post-money valuation of $100 million. Other participants include Republic, Animoca, Solana, Avalanche, and others. Through its three core engines — Verify, Route, and Settle — KOR transforms creative assets into on-chain assets that are verifiable, matchable, and automatically settled. The Verify engine allows creators to register their works on-chain, recording provenance, ownership, and licensing terms. The Route engine uses data and AI to match creators, assets, labels, brands, platforms, and agencies. The Settle engine enables instant automatic revenue sharing via smart contracts and USDC on the Base chain, supporting complex split rules and recurring income. KOR currently has over 1 million registered users, more than $2 million in revenue, over 285,000 NFTs, and over 1,000 IP partners, and has collaborated with deadmau5 and "Black Mirror." Following the funding, KOR will continue to expand its IP supply, deepen partnerships, and advance network expansion.

Base has officially released an analysis report on the block production outage, disclosing that the Base mainnet experienced two block production interruptions on June 25 and 26, lasting 116 minutes and 20 minutes respectively. On-chain asset security was unaffected, and funds remained safe at all times. The root cause was a vulnerability in the sequencer's block construction logic: after a transaction execution failure, the old journal state was not properly cleared, causing subsequent legitimate transactions to encounter gas calculation errors during execution, thereby generating invalid state transition blocks and halting block production on the entire L2 chain.Base stated that the issue has been resolved through a patch, and will strengthen the protocol's fuzz testing and stress testing framework to identify potential malicious transaction paths, while optimizing monitoring and operational processes. Additionally, plans are in place to introduce a recovery mechanism to enhance rapid recovery capabilities in future similar events.
Base officially announced that, due to recent network stability issues, the mainnet activation schedule for the B20 token standard has been postponed again; the new launch date will be announced shortly. The testnet rollout plan remains unaffected.
Base experienced an abnormal block production issue on its mainnet for the second time in two days. According to the official status page, the incident occurred at 15:33 UTC. The team subsequently confirmed the problem and resumed block production at 16:11 UTC.Base stated that node operators need to restart their Base mainnet nodes to re-synchronize.The symptoms of this incident are similar to the outage from the previous day. On Thursday, Base experienced an abnormal block that prevented the Sequencer from building new blocks, resulting in a network halt lasting approximately two hours. Although user funds were not affected, withdrawal services were temporarily disrupted.Officials stated that this incident was also characterized by a chain halt, sharing similar features with the previous day's event. The network has now resumed operations.
Base has postponed the Beryl mainnet upgrade to June 26 at 18:00 UTC to ensure full activation of the B20 Activation Registry. Developers must wait until the registry goes live before deploying B20 tokens, with an estimated maximum wait time of approximately one hour. Base stated that the previous ~2-hour mainnet block interruption was unrelated to this upgrade. Additionally, Beryl will reduce the withdrawal waiting period from Base to Ethereum from 7 days to 5 days and integrate Reth V2.
Base co-founder Jesse Pollak responded on platform X to the network outage, stating that user funds have always been safe and were not affected by this incident. However, the on-chain outage was unacceptable. The root cause has been identified and fixed, and a comprehensive post-mortem report will be released later. Base will use this event to continuously improve platform stability and reliability, aiming to become the infrastructure supporting 24/7 global financial activity. Jesse Pollak added that once tokenized stocks are launched on Base, lending functionality will also be provided.
Base has resumed block production and transaction processing this morning after an approximately two-hour outage. Base stated that the mainnet sequencer and related systems have stabilized, block production is operating normally, and widespread synchronization issues across the ecosystem have largely been resolved.
the Ethereum Layer 2 network Base mainnet experienced a "major failure," leading to unstable production of new blocks. According to the Base status page, the issue began around 16:03 UTC.Base resumed operations after approximately two hours of downtime. This failure previously halted block production and transaction processing.The Base team stated that an invalid block triggered the related issue. They are currently investigating the root cause and recommend that node operators restart their nodes. This incident marks another network interruption for Base following its previous downtime in August 2025.
Odaily reports: Blockchain data infrastructure startup Cambrian has secured $6 million in seed funding, co-led by Franklin Templeton and Polychain Capital, with participation from Flow Traders, Selini Capital, Paper Ventures, Nomad Capital, and others.As previously reported by Odaily, Cambrian also received a $5.9 million pre-seed investment led by the a16z Crypto Startup Accelerator, bringing its total funding to $11.9 million.Founded in 2024, Cambrian currently offers APIs for institutions and AI agents, providing real-time and historical on-chain data covering yield, risk, lending rates, trading activity, liquidity positions, and market sentiment, helping users allocate capital on-chain. The company plans to expand its existing APIs into a verifiable blockchain data oracle network, serving institutional financial clients, AI agent builders, and protocols that require reliable data to control capital flows. Unlike traditional oracles that primarily provide price data, Cambrian aims to aggregate data from lending protocols, DEX liquidity, social sentiment, developer activity, and historical market data.According to Cambrian, its platform has processed millions of API calls, currently indexes approximately $4.5 billion in TVL across four major lending protocols, tracks 1,789 vaults managed by 895 curators, and monitors over 320,000 DEX liquidity pools on Base and Solana. The company also plans to expand trading data support by integrating Hyperliquid and richer perpetual contract data.
